Shield-bearing guardian who seizes enemy attention and holds the front line.
A patient, control-first tank. Weave Vicious Strike to build and hold threat, pin priority targets with Taunt, then read the fight and pop Doom Shield and mitigation cooldowns to ride out the enemy’s biggest hits. It suits players who’d rather manage aggro and time defensives than chase damage numbers.

A patient, control-first tank. Weave Vicious Strike to build and hold threat, pin priority targets with Taunt, then read the fight and pop Doom Shield and mitigation cooldowns to ride out the enemy’s biggest hits. It suits players who’d rather manage aggro and time defensives than chase damage numbers.
Start with a strong longsword and the highest item-level armor you can use, then tune sub-stats around Defense, Max HP, Block.
Templar should stabilize the fight first: hold threat, face enemies safely and treat defensive cooldowns as planned answers to boss damage.
Inside the party, the Templar fills the Tank slot — your team relies on this kit for that responsibility.
Longsword & Shield is the signature pick — most builds are designed around it.
No — there's no faction restriction. Pick this class as Elyos or as Asmodian, your call.
Around 35 skills in total: 25 actives you cast in combat and 10 passives that always run in the background.
The kit performs in both, but its identity tilts toward the role above — meta picks usually fit dungeons and raids with that focus.
It depends on how comfortable you are managing cooldowns and positioning. Players new to the role should expect a learning curve; the payoff is significant once it clicks.
Start from your gear, then layer upgrades, Soul Binding choices and account systems into one setup.
