The Templar class in The Elder Scrolls Online is a versatile powerhouse. It has excellent single-target and AoE damage. With strong healing, group utility, and great DPS, it’s one of the most solo-friendly and endgame viable classes in the game.

From Slimecraw to Symphony of Blades, these are some of the best monster sets you can acquire in Elder Scrolls Online.
Posts By Cameron CashmanToday, we’ll break down the best PvE builds for the Templar, for both endgame veterans and beginners. From gear and champion points, to skills and buffs, everything here is optimized to help you melt through dungeons, trials, and everything in between.
Magplar Meta (DPS)
This Magicka Templar is one of the top picks for group PvE. It hits hard with Aoe and single-target damage, making it great for dungeons and trials, and keep it competitive with other high ranking DPS builds from other classes. Abilities like Puncturing Sweeps, Blazing Spear, and Radiant Oppression do solid damage while keeping you healed. Thanks to recent buffs, it’s holding strong in the current meta, and to get the most out of it, make sure to put all your attribute points into Magicka. If you’re looking to crank out high damage in group content, the Magplar is a solid choice. It’s easy to pick up with a basic rotation, but still has plenty of room for optimization if you’re chasing big numbers.
The Harpooner’s Wading Kilt is a powerful Mythic item, but it requires the Blackwood DLC and access to the Antiquities system. You’ll need to be level 7 in Scrying, have Antiquarian Insight IV, and collect five master-level leads found across Blackwood, Shadowfen, Murkmire, and Bal Foyen. Expect some grinding, but the crit bonuses are worth it.

Radiant Oppression handles executes, and Channeled Acceleration keeps Major Force up. When it’s time to go big, Shooting Star hits hard and generates Ultimate energy. Make sure to unlock all class passive and the Medicinal Use passive in Alchemy. Don’t forget key guild passives—especially Undaunted and Fighters Guild.

The Stamina Templar, the "Stamplar," is an excellent DPS build. With its simple rotation and strong self-healing, it's both beginner-friendly and effective in endgame content. Abilities like Biting Jabs and Power of the Light provide strong single-target damage and healing, while Deadly Cloak and Ritual of Retribution give AoE damage and survivability. For the best performance, put all attribute points into Stamina and equip medium armor to do the most damage.

The Magicka Templar healer, often called a "Healplar", is a cornerstone of ESO’s group PvE meta. Known for its strong burst healing, group buffs, and cleanses, it can take on trials and dungeons with ease. Main skills like Breath of Life, Radiating Regeneration, and Extended Ritual provide strong healing and support, while Luminous Shards and Combat Prayer buff your group. To be the most effective, put all attribute points into Magicka for optimal healing and resource management.
No matter what build you choose to play, potions are incredibly useful. Try to stay topped up on Spell-Power potions to give yourself a stat boost in combat.

Don't activate the Tri Focus passive; keep it hanging out on your skill bar. Activating it makes blocking consume Magicka instead of Stamina and stops Magicka regeneration while blocking.
