‘Radiant Aegis’ ESO Templar Tank Information

Race

Nord

Mundus

The Atronach

Food

Orzorga’s Red Frothgar

Potions

Essence of Health Potion

Race: Nord is the overall most useful. You will rarely get the opportunity to play a Warden Tank in endgame content other than Dungeons so you could choose anything else, Breton would also work well.

Attributes: You can apply these however you like. Try aiming for 40k Max Health then share your points into Stamina and Magicka. Remember that your Templar healing skills often scale with Max Health or Magicka/Spell Damage so having extra Magicka will be slightly benefitial.

Food: Templars have a lot of Magicka skills and a number of them need to be cast frequently, using a food with Magicka Recovery such as Red Frothgar is very beneficial.

Potions: Tri-Stat potions are very useful for this build for the resource gain and all recoveries.

Magicka Recovery: To maintain all abilities it’s good to have around 2500 Magicka Recovery.

Resistances: You typically wouldn’t be using a Templar Tank for the top tier endgame content, so anything over 25k Resistances will work fine but for harder content you’ll want 30-33k.

The gear used on the Templar is aimed at group buffing and enemy debuffing.

Firstly we use Archdruid which provides a very strong enemy debuff that increases group DPS. This is good because it will cause the enemy to take 10% more damage after you heavy attack.

The next set we use is Olorime. This is the strongest Weapon/Spell damage buff set in the game. It provides the Major Courage buff which is usually provided by a healer. If you have a healer switch it to Powerful Assault.

Finally we use Pearlescent Ward, this gives us a damage buff when people are alive and a survival buff when people die. It requires no micromanagement so you can put full focus on skill usage.

Void Bash is an essential set for add pulls because it’s too resource intensive to use Silver Leash when Void Bash pulls everything with 1 button. For bosses using Puncturing Remedy is great for the extra self heal when it’s needed.

On the jewellery Infused Magicka Recovery will help a lot with sustain, and adding Divines gear with the Atronach Mundus should take the Magicka Recovery really high.

On the weapons we use an Infused/Crusher as standard on our Ice Staff and then Charged/Shock on the 1 Hander to inflict concussion on the enemy and Minor Vulnerability.

Where to Obtain:

Vestment of Olorime – Cloudrest Trial.

Pearlescent Ward – Dreadsail Reef Trial.

Archdruid Devyric – Earthern Root Enclave, Urgarlag Chief-bane

Void Bash – Vateshran Hollows.

Puncturing Remedy – Dragonstar Arena & Veteran Dragonstar Arena (Perfected)

Other notable sets that you could use:

Powerful Assault

Spaulder of Ruin

‘Radiant Aegis’ ESO Templar Tank How to Play

Precast Restoring Focus and Radiant Ward.

Run at the enemies and initiate combat with a light attack and place Elemental Blockade.

After 2 seconds, cast Power Slam to proc Void Bash which should pull all enemies onto your Blockade.

Cast Pulsar twice to immobilise all enemies.

Once you are in an add pull you want to make sure you have everything down on the ground with Elemental Blockade, Extended Ritual and Restoring Focus, all ranged enemies taunted. Every time 2+ enemies die, cast Repentance for Stamina sustain. While taking damage recast Living Dark and Radiant Ward for healing and shields.

If you have Extended Ritual and Living Dark active while stood inside Restoring Focus, this should provide a large amount of healing in the region of 8k per second with the option to add a 10-20k damage shield on top of that with Radiant Ward.
