THE HIGHEST DPS TEMPLAR BUILD - COMPLETE GUIDE | AION2

Introduction to the Build Guide

Overview of Changes and Build Setup

• The speaker introduces the build guide, noting upcoming changes due to a new patch that will affect balancing, buffs, and nerfs.

• A user-created build is available on the Quest Log website, with details provided in the description for viewers to check out.

Build Mechanics

• The build includes two setups: one for leveling and another for early and mid-game strategies.

• The Templar class focuses on spamming the skill "Judgment," which can be triggered through various abilities like Shield Smite and Warden Strike.

Key Abilities and Their Functions

Damage Output and Healing

• Warden Strike is an AoE ability that deals significant damage (1,900), provides healing, and offers a 20% damage reduction that increases to 30% at level 16.

Judgment Procs

• Judgment can be procced by multiple abilities: Shield Smite stuns targets while also triggering Judgment; Doom Shield provides shields along with triggering Judgment; Shield Rush serves as a gap closer but is less effective in DPS setups.

Ability Synergies

Effective Damage Strategies

• The speaker explains how abilities synergize: using Doom Shield followed by Debilitating Smash allows for continuous damage output while maintaining cooldown efficiency.

Macro Usage

• A macro setup allows players to hold down buttons for seamless execution of skills like Doom Shield into Warden Strike, maximizing judgment procs efficiently.

Performance Metrics

DPS Demonstration

• During a demonstration without buffs or spells, the speaker achieves approximately 3 million damage within one minute using this build strategy.

Passive Skills Importance

• Fury is highlighted as a crucial passive skill providing party-wide buffs with minimal cooldown when blocking attacks.

Stigma Upgrades

Prioritizing Stigmas

• Ironclad Defense should be leveled up first due to its significant defensive benefits; Insulting Roar enhances aggro management during fights.

Additional Passives

• Other passives like Impact Hit increase overall damage output significantly over time, especially beneficial in prolonged encounters.

Gear Recommendations

Essential Gear Stats

• Focus on combat speed across weapons and gloves while prioritizing judgment stats on gear pieces. Movement speed is also critical for maneuverability during battles.

Magic Stones Strategy

• For magic stones (mana stones), any offensive attack stone works well; prioritize rolling for judgment-related perks wherever possible.

Conclusion

Final Thoughts

• The speaker encourages viewers to ask questions in comments or join live streams post-launch for further guidance on gameplay strategies.
