Steady DPS or crits, I'd go for steady DPS any day, specially since the upcomming update for templar increases their SUSTAIN, having dps is better than crits I think. Whichever you choose is ofcourse your own preference. Also, upg rings are sh1t for templars, the crit % doesn't add up to the loss of flat attack, I've tested this. Ofcourse you can play whatever you like, you can play a guard that's dual wielding too but you gotta wonder, is that really the best way to go xD
