magicka templar dps guide
Updated for the Deadlands DLC
Remember to treat this as a base to work from…
Always adjust as needed for your specific situation!
the build basics
top races
Bretons and Orcs are very strong too
Really any race is fine unless you are trying to min/max every last %
mundus stone
The Thief is generally the strongest for PvE
food/drinks
Bi-stat Health + Magicka is the best if you can sustain with it
Ghastly is great if you don’t mind being a little squishier
Clockwork + Witchmother’s are a little less damage but are a nice middle ground of health/sustain/damage
potions
The Essence of Spell Power Potions are highly recommended for Veteran content
If you are running trash potions instead, make sure to have Degeneration (or a support casting Igneous Weapons) for Major Sorcery and Inner Light for Major Prophecy
champion points
Fighting Finesse > Backstabber if you can’t flank
Thaumaturge > Backstabber or Fighting Finesse if you are over the crit dmg cap
Thaumaturge > Deadly Aim for AoE heavy damage encounters

notes
The Harpooner’s Wading Kilt with a 1pc Slimecraw will generally be a slight DPS improvement over a Monster Set when the fight allows for it
Deadly Strike over Kinras’s Wrath whenever building and maintaining stacks for Kinras’s is difficult or the fight is over too quickly
Burning Spellweave moves up to low Tier 1 if using the static 12s rotation
Advancing Yokeda is strong if you can keep it up but could be difficult as only your melee light attacks will build/maintain the stacks
Light Armor pieces will be stronger where slottable if under the penetration cap, otherwise Medium Armor pieces are stronger
LOTS of AoE Options coming up here. You don’t need to have all of these configurations
Take a look at see what might work best for your situation
For short burst scenarios using a Monster set
Inferno staff if using Pulsar as your spammable / Lightning or Swords if using Blazing Spear as your spammable
Light Armor pieces will be stronger where slottable if under the penetration cap, otherwise Medium Armor pieces are stronger
For best results, try and dump some magicka before the pull begins since we have Bahsei in this setup
For short burst scenarios using a Mythic
Inferno staff if using Pulsar as your spammable / Lightning or Swords if using Blazing Spear as your spammable
Light Armor pieces will be stronger where slottable if under the penetration cap, otherwise Medium Armor pieces are stronger
For short burst scenarios using a Mythic and a Monster Set
Inferno staff if using Pulsar as your spammable / Lightning or Swords if using Blazing Spear as your spammable
Light Armor pieces will be stronger where slottable if under the penetration cap, otherwise Medium Armor pieces are stronger
For medium to long AoE scenarios using a Monster Set
Inferno staff if using Pulsar as your spammable / Lightning or Daggers if using Blazing Spear as your spammable
Light Armor pieces will be stronger where slottable if under the penetration cap, otherwise Medium Armor pieces are stronger
For best results, try and dump some magicka before the pull begins since we have Bahsei in this setup
For medium to long AoE scenarios using a Mythic and a Monster Set
Inferno staff if using Pulsar as your spammable / Lightning or Daggers if using Blazing Spear as your spammable
