Ok, there are many things I can say here. So I will say them as clearly as possible.

I feel the fact that temps can wear +12 feathers, 4part upgrade, lvl 7's and a walters and the temp can hit 8k+ on 65% dd. Why do I know this? Mostly because I have done quite a bit of testing and I ask people what they are using. Not saying they arent lying or w\e however why would people lie about stuff less than what they have? Wouldnt you lie to say you have better gears?

Now Iceyyyy will likely argue that "not everyone is as op geared as.... " However I can name a pile of temps who ARE as op geared.
Cherish, Utilities, Yroama, SoBy, Envi, KnightDreams, and several others that I cant think of right now off the top of my head.

All of the above listed temps are hitting in EXCESS of 20k auto attacks. Some much much more. Im looking at you Envi with your 44k auto attacks on 65% dd. Lets just say that single weapon dmg drop average is 65%. Templars running around with 50% atk speed on their maces, another 30% from their lion, and blunt mastery gives them what at least 20% atk speed? So rough guess of 470atk speed? So roughly 2.5 atks per second at 20k dmg per hit. That means in 4 seconds they are putting out 10 hits => 200k dmg in a matter of seconds.

Even vit characters are getting ripped in a few seconds. Vit dekans can stand back and ffs/dffs a bit outta AOE range however I have watched cherish drop a dekan with about 280k hp get wrekt in under 10 seconds thats also them using holy wine, and tear drops.

So, that was a little longer and more drawn out than I anticipated. I have also tested out just my 82% dd axe. Some of these temps are still hitting WELL over 12k auto attacks. Sure, its not ALL of them. However there are more than enough that are hitting hard as hell. So how do lower tier characters have fun in the front lines where temps are? I mean if the game is only going to be temps, dekans, wizards, and priest with some REALLY geared out dhans running in and trying to grab someone.

100% dmg drop lets some guards run into the cut and have some fun without fearing temps for once. Does this mean they are immortal? Far from it. Dhans, and Dekans can still rip my. Even on my defender with over 130k hp many dekans 1 shot him.

I feel that overall the majority of the belly aching is coming from temps because they are unhappy about the fact they are not longer able to kill anything and everything because they feel like it.

This means that they need more tactics involved than just hit hit hit hit "LOL YOUR SO BAD DELETE YOUR CHAR FAIL"

100% DD completely makes temps useless vs that character and its nice to not have to walk out and have some tallentless class wreck you because they can

However I can walk into PVP start my combo OS and build up enough dmg that I can KS someone for 40k + dmg and they cant do anything about it.

So in conclusion. Templars now require more than just templars to win the fights, adjust and adapt to the new things. Just because they have because something has been one way for so long. Doesnt mean that when it changes it's bad. Templars are completely outta whack I remember when the concept of 99,999 dmg per auto attack seemed like an impossible thing. Now templars are hitting that with self buffed + alm others with scrolls, and empower are hitting that.

So for anyone playing a templar, to cry that something is unbalanced is simply laughable. Shut up and let other classes enjoy a bit of power for once. When your class gets completely dumpstered. I might feel sympathetic to your complaints. Honestly, once temps get balanced, next needs to be dekans. Many of them are able to one shot any character on the server except for other dekans and even then many of them can get triple fatal and one shot other dekans.

Long story short, if temps want anything nerfed they should look in the mirror before looking at "op" stuff around them and crying about it.
