Mate i cant give you more props for this guide. You go thru everything that nobody else does. Listed all the skills, use cases for them, rotation priority, specializations, mastery, its wild how well this was put together. That plus the single page guide at the beginning is an instant sub from me, i havent even watched any of your other vids yet. Cheers!
Thank you I appreciate the comment and feedback, glad you liked it. I'll get o PvP eventually,just focussing on PvE first because that's how most people are gearing up - and I'm only a small casual channel so it takes me a bit longer
Yeah I’m super excited to be a tank/healer this time. I usually focus on doing damage but now I’m 37, and a dad. My focus is more on stability and sustainability. Let others sweat on how to spam dmg while I keep them up. Sounds more fun to me these days. I’ll be watching this video many times til it’s solidified in my psyche.
Been waiting for this! As always, your builds are detailed and well-researched. Looking forward to seeing more, especially as more players start getting familiar with the skills and mechanics of their weapon classes. This is really helpful!
best guide ever about any character of any game in the whole internet space! much love bro, i just found a very enjoyable way of playing templar now! instant sub and like
Thank you for the guide! Very informative and beginner friendly! This is hands down the best Templar tank guide that really put me as the POV of the tank! Keep up the good work my man! You just got a new subscriber!
Absolutely amazing build, you just got a new sub. Was trying to find a single target boss and an aoe build and this covers it. thank you so much for actually explaining this stuff.
New player here and I have tried many builds. I always run out of mana after the second skill rotation especially the more dps focused ones, so usually even the best builds won't be able to be of any good longterm. With your build so far i rarely run out of mana and it gives you sustainable performance in all scenarios.
Yeah I noticed people doing that - not sure why the game literally tells you what the Archetype is when you equip the weapons - I thinks it's just people nicknaming builds like they often do for games not realising there is actual official named archetypes in the game ahah oh well
@@WilstormGaming is because apparently back in the korean version it was called paladin until they changed the name to templar when it released in the west Some koreans are still calling it paladin
It's perfectly good and you could swap out the invincible wall but you kinda want to run it with magic circle too so we just don't really have enough skill slots without losing some healing or utility.
I like how you think, i watched your Pve tank build iand really liked it, i though and now combine it with the wand an do even more damage while course . and now you also combine it :-)
I actually tried bow extensively first, I really wanted the warden archetype to work it's cool as. It's good but not quite as strong as wand. I couldn't solo heal as easily and as soon as it got a bit overwhelming I couldn't keep up. Definitely would work as a support tank though still with a dedicated healer.
nice concise build guide, i was getting confused about how to use sword and wand together, is there a build that is less healing and more damage output/ self survival for if u have a dedicated healer in the party?
You really don't have access to much more damage anyway. You can swap out the Invincible Wall and Swift heal for the corrupted magic circle and curse explosion to get some more wand curse damage. But keep the two AOE heals as they are great to help the party out.
Hey first of all amazing video and great explainations i was looking excactly for this typ of build! i have 2 questions. 1. Does Strategic rush count as stun on the boss? i heared some bosses require stuns and if strategic rush doesnt stun them what interrupt spell can we use instead? 2. How can i target specific player in my party with swift healing?
Thank you glad you liked the video. 1. I haven't encountered any dungeon bosses that require stuns, usually boss enemies are always immune to stun/CC. This is why strategic rush gives you dmg instead. This shouldn't be an issue in PVE content I don't think. 2. Entirely depends how you play and have keybindings set for example do you play action or camera mode. I play in action mod so I don't click the screen with my mouse I use keybind shortcuts - for me I use the party targeting options so CTRL+1 targets party members 1, CTRL+4 targets party member 4 and so on. This only works if you are comfy with lots of keybings in MMOs like I am. You will have to test what works for you some people like to click with their mouse
@@WilstormGaming One example that comes to mind is Arbiter miniboss in Death's Abyss dungeon. My personal experience was that all parties expect tank to cc the miniboss and I was literally kicked from a party for failing to do that as a SnS/Wand tank. The only skill that comes to mind that could achieve that in your build is strategic rush, but it's a bit unreliable as it is a skillshot that also requires opponent to be close to a wall, so it's not always possible to pull off when you need to interrupt an opponent. I'm still quite new to the game so I haven't tried out all the skills extensively, but maybe Fierce Clash from SnS skills could do the trick?
If you need CC (crowd control) for enemies such as the mini-bosses in Death's Abyss, the following four work: Chain Hook, Strategic Rush, Fierce Clash, and Cursed Nightmare (with Enhanced Nightmare spec for insta sleep). Stuns are a specific type of CC and for SnS they count as a stun only if they're hit against a wall (which normally you can't do on final bosses)
@@UrbanVarsek Problem with the gamification of bosses in all modern MMOs give me a good tank and spank with some blocking dodging that is more realistic than these mini games.
Is there a way for this build to do good AOE dmg if they want to do some xp grinding outside of questing? Or gear grinding? I’m new to the game but I believe that this game really focuses on questing for xp anyway. Still curious about if I can do some decent aoe dmg just out of curiosity.
@@WilstormGaming yes, that build was even without chain hook, and well, i can accept build without that but its not optimal, yet no strategic rush is a drama. Well i used to play GS/SNS and yesterday was like lets swap GS on SNS and i must say it was a terrible mistake, sure i have healing but with GS i was much much more tanky. Now i'm not that tanky, sure its great support on dungs, couse u have healer and also extra healer/tank yet solo gameplay, contracts are terrible, no DMG, curses do funny dmg. Love the feeling of support to the team, it can do carry in dungs, but i think GS/SNS is much much better
Hahah definitely a love-hate relationship. We all want matchmaking functions in games so we can play solo but then we complain that they are less organised than guild groups haha (me included)
Is there anyway for this combo to go dps but not curse focused (not a fan of wand offense)? crit build or something? i understand def and survivability would be sacrificed. atleast like a gs/wand combo
Call me a old WoW fool but this is a tank build. As a tank, youre supposed to tank and not worry about DPS though healing could be the same but it seems more worthwhile
I'm new to the game. How come you don't need perception even though it gives hit chance? Is that more of a pvp stat? Do mobs/bosses not have dodge chance or something?
Bro im gonna be honest ive been playing this and i dont take but 3 offensive skills. I dont die unless i want to. Dont run out of mana And also deal 0 damage xD. Its great in dungeons specifically
I expect this class will be extremely strong in PvP - unkillable tanky support and control. But NOT in this setup this is for PvE, PvP would be considerably different.
Last question I'm technically copying your full build and everything good 👍 on dungeons and parties but when I have to do daily missions farm monsters or contracts ...it's Soo slow...I can't kill fast .... And contracts and missions take too long..... What other weapon or class do you suggest I can use to farm that can use most of the gear etc
@vcroxparabeiium8616 Yes wand will be too slow for open world. Basically swap the wand out for greatsword and use the technique in my aoe build that is on my channel from about 8 days ago.
@@vcroxparabeiium8616 my friend has a wand build and for pvp his dot damage does 12k+ and his explosion does 25k lol its nasty in pvp nothing you can do against him😂
I'm getting to PvP as soon as I can haha I'm starting with PvE because that's how most people are gearing up. I'm only a small casual channel so it takes me a bit longer than all the full-time content creators sorry
Hard to die but slow damage. I don't use it for dailies/contracts because it's a bit slow, but you can still burn down aoe packs with Provoke + Ray + Barrier
I am completely free to play and absolutely loving it. It just feels like a very standard gear grind you have in every MMO, which to me is the reason for playing. Maybe a tad slower gearing process than modern WoW but nothing out of the ordinary. Pay to skip (more appropriately) exists but it doesn't have any impost on most players unless you wanted to be winning arenas in week 1. I play on a predominantly Japan/Aus/NZ server though so maybe it's less pronounced
Masteries
Sword: Six points in top row until 8% block and the entire middle row for PVE boss benefits.
Wand: Entire top row for mana rege, wisdom and cooldown speed. Remaining 6 points in middle row for 8% skill healing.
Is sword and shield and staff viable? I heard it’s not very good but it’s my favorite aesthetically and what I like.
btw you take skıll dmg on pve ıf you try saint oath you can see ıt procs nearly all the tıme

Just finished running this build tonight. It is absolutely nuts once you get your flow down. Awesome job.
Glad it worked for you it's a fun build.
You are godsent, I've been looking for guides for sns wand all over youtube but found nothing close to this, clear and on point.
Waiting for a pvp guide 😂

Awesome. For a casual gamer like me this is just perfect. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
Absolutely amazing build, you just got a new sub. Was trying to find a single target boss and an aoe build and this covers it. thank you so much for actually explaining this stuff.

Finally a decent sms wand build thank you for all the combo and explanation! ❤

U earned a sub my kind sir.. this skill build is genius and amazing.. well thought out and explained. Keep up the amazing work content
Thank you glad you like it!!
I wish we had more skill set slots cause I really wanna have this as an option now. You sold me on this build!
Three is actually rubbish! We need like 10
very well explained
Finally, someone calling it a Templar and not a Paladin. That's enough for a like from me.
Yeah pali is gs wand
Yeah I noticed people doing that - not sure why the game literally tells you what the Archetype is when you equip the weapons - I thinks it's just people nicknaming builds like they often do for games not realising there is actual official named archetypes in the game ahah oh well
+1 to this
@@WilstormGaming is because apparently back in the korean version it was called paladin until they changed the name to templar when it released in the west

Honestly, sword and shield with heal is a paladin. Templar usually a sword and shield and just a broadsword that is tank.
Great guide thanks. May I ask, why dont you use Curse Explosion? I use it for killing mobs and I does a ton of damage. Dont you like this skill?
It's perfectly good and you could swap out the invincible wall but you kinda want to run it with magic circle too so we just don't really have enough skill slots without losing some healing or utility.
this is my build thank you
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you, I realy find a built that suit to me !

What are your thoughts of bow instead of wand?
Great video BTW

Yeah towards the end of the video. Strength > Wisdom > Dex > Perception. Aim for tier bonuses in Strength and Wis

damn never been sold harder on a build
Haha glad you like it, not even trying to 'sell you' or anything just giving options to other players
It appears to be an excellent build, but it lacks a link with the progression items and skill priority as the video explains how to use them.

i wanna try this build. is this also good for holding boss' aggro until the end?
why not go for the cc resistance passive? just wondering
For PVE it's just not too necessarily. Everything in PvE is designed to be Q-defended. That CC resistance passive is king for PVP
I have a question how does the curse work when I have another healer on the team that runs curse? does mine go off his as well?
Is there anyway for this combo to go dps but not curse focused (not a fan of wand offense)? crit build or something? i understand def and survivability would be sacrificed. atleast like a gs/wand combo
Call me a old WoW fool but this is a tank build.
As a tank, youre supposed to tank and not worry about DPS though healing could be the same but it seems more worthwhile
In un dungeon consiglieresti di usarlo tank o healer?
what beginner alternatif for equipment? im still lvl 22
Don't worry about gear while leveling, just take whatever upgrades you get
so shoul i upgrade green weapon to max level? or i should create a blue one with 4 green weapon instead?
do you use something else for open world or is that build good for both open world and bossing
Nah it's very slow for open world. Use the aoe build on my channel about 8 days ago for open world
this build enough to main heal or its just an off healer
hows aggro control? since low damage did you feel like you'd lose aggro?
Wasn't a noticeable issue. Piercing strike aoe cone and provoking was usually enough to do the job.
@@WilstormGaming thats what i love to hear. I enjoy the paladin playstyle. didnt wanna respec into sns/gs so im def gonna try this out
Can you do SnS/dagger tank?
I use this but as a support or healer like a cleric build i like it u dont have to be a tank with a sns xD
I'm new to the game. How come you don't need perception even though it gives hit chance? Is that more of a pvp stat? Do mobs/bosses not have dodge chance or something?
Hit and evasion and all the trait stats become far more relevant for PvP. PvE it doesn't matter too much
@@WilstormGaming so you basically never need it for pve? Or just not much? Also, thanks for the reply to my first question bud, greatly appreciate it
