Rockborne Reporting in... OGRE templar on lavastorm.. I am the hardest to kill healer there is in full vanguard armor!
My templar is a Barbarian. I feel special when I do a "/who all barbarian templar" and it only lists 5 people And on serveral occasions, being a Barbarian, my groupies mistake me for a tank. I love it when someone says "Hey, we need a healer" and I say "What do you think I am?" Fun times.
I'm a High Elf Templar (Lvl 21), it just seemed natural to take a High Elf as a Templar. However, I saw the coolest thing the other day; a Troll Templar. In all my wanderings I thought I would never see that, but I have and was impressed. Just really cool, kinda against nature and what you normally would expect from a... GASP...TROLL.
barbarian templar, and ive never seen where race comes into play, people only ooc templar LFG now i have seen groups looking for a tank turn one down if their ac wasnt up to snuff.
I too play a Barbarian Templar. Early on there is a noticable disadvantage to being a barbarian as they start with 18 wisdom and High Elves start with 30. I have a guildmate who is a high elf Templar. We stayed on par as we leveled and always had simlar equipment but since he was starting at a higher base wisdom he always had more power then me and I was running out of power a lot in group battles. However, I managed to save up a few gold pieces and really upgrade my equipment from the blackmarket. Now, I have very good wisdom for my level (as much or more than most Elves I meet), plus I have high strength and stamina. Combine that with a very nice 2-H weapon and I am very happy with my ability to solo or act as an emergency tank. I think my Barbarian Templar is now very effective both in melee and spell power.
I play a Dark Elf Templar and I love it! The first Racial ability I picked was to increase my max power. Message Edited by Jools on 12-26-2004 10:34 AM
I plan on having my female gnome priest go templar.....she's only 8th level right now but just as fun as my 15th level kerra warrior.
