Ok 1st off healing is not something a templar does in fact its not something a priest does either (exception: perfect healing). I know its there I know players COULD use it but you got 100k hp/mp heal every 10 seconds and 100k hp heal every 20 seconds nobody is healing these days. Secondly defenders have their CC AND they have DPS. Are they king of the hill for DPS? nop and are templars king of the hill for CC? absolutely not. All classes have unique abilities that are great for pvp and people get so caught up on the DPS factor that they dont wana try it out. You think temp is OP dps? what happens when a warlock comes and takes away 80% of your attack speed, cuts your DMG in HALF, removes 30% HP off the top and goes for the 60% all stat nerf because nobody carries detox anymore? But nobody wana play warlock ****s OP. That priest tanking 1/2 of rohan with her teardrop holywine perfect heal spam? what happens when mike the ranger hits her with the silence shot and the antipot? fking dead is what happens. Every class has a use all the talismans should be is making them better at it. No talisman is going to bring class diversity thats a mentality problem and people need to realize that if they had at least 1 of every class in a pvp at the same time some key targets would get gimped the **** out. I mean you hate templars so much and the 2nd most popular class (priest) counters them, a single warlock can counter them, a single predator can counter them and the more unique disables you have the better.
WTF is self proclaimed best templar in rohan gonna do when you hit him with frozen ice (-60% attack speed), prevent pet (-20%), slow (-60%) AND heavy weapon (-70%) ???? *longest CD=heavy weapon at 120 secs with 70 sec duration*
WTF is self proclaimed best templar in rohan gonna do when you hit him with transformation? (60 sec duration 120s cooldown)
WTF is self proclaimed best templar in rohan gonna do when you hit him with vacuum? (45 sec duration 120s cooldown)
They got 2 options: spend 10 gs to buff ohn's blessing (75 rps per cast) or get a debuff removal totem (but only idiots let a totem stay up).
I know you have not been on ran in a long time but pvp with a templar is a ticking time bomb. You are spaced apart from the enemy guild charging your chrono to max you got 3 reflects (including using it without chrono) to kill 2 sometimes 3 UPG priests (and 1 gets away scott free with shelter lvl 7), and as many people as you can before its doom time and you cant hit ppl or you are getting gimped out the ass with disables or you are focused and killed. If there was more class diversity pvp would be a whole lot easier for everyone but people have the same broken mentality as you which is oh if it doesnt kill like a temp its useless.
