132K + Magicka Templar PvE Build ESO | Endless Archive U40

HELLO everyone and WELCOME to my Build Guide for the Magicka Templar ready for Infinite Archive Update 40! The Templar is stronger than ever, being one of the absolute top options for damage in content. This goes 10 fold for boss fights with nutty execute phases, like the encounters we've seen in recent content. Not only is this class strong, it has one of the most interesting and dynamic rotations of any options! Truly such a great class!
Be sure to check me out on all my socials for more content like this and more! Make sure you join the DISCORD for the full written guide! I only have so many characters on KZbin, so the condensed guide you'll see below offers a lot of info, but not everything that I have for you! The full written guides for all of my builds are on my discord!
A special thanks to ‪@ryESO‬ for providing this MONSTER of a parse! Click that name and go shoot him some love! He does not have NEARLY enough subscribers for the content he's putting out, let's fix that!
A huge shoutout and thank you to my current Patreons, Sir Clydus, ZeKt Reeferchik, Flugmurker, and Joseph, thank you so much for all of your support my friends, it's because of YOU that this video is possible!
As always if you have any questions, let me know in the comments section below, I WILL get back to you as soon as possible :) Thank you so much for all of your love and support, I appreciate each and every one of you, and I'll see you in the next one!

Quick Update, a couple of Dyslexic moments in the video XD Siroria gives 630 weapon/spell damage, not 360 lol Radiant Oppression Procs Azure, Jabs does not Thanks everyone!

Muchas gracias y saludos desde España 🤗💯👏🏼

I would swap ritual of retribution for caltrops. Or are you getting major breach in an area I am not seeing?

[@harveygardner6916]

Does the fact that jabs don’t proc azure mean it’s not as useful anymore or can it still be used as effectively?

[@Michel-hr3tu]

Dude listen to me. "FIRED AS A CUSTOMER" Well played ZoS, well played. For those of you who are unfamiliar with that terminology, that means ZoS has taken it upon themselves to track down any Microsoft account that I have and ban me from any game IP that is affiliated with Microsoft and/or Zenimax/Bethesda. So permabanning me in ESO isn't enough, I pissed them off so much that they are trying to ban me from gaming in general rofl Like Jesus christ Imao Sure ban me from ESO, it's well deserved, but this seems quite personal. I'm actually impressed by the lengths this PATHETIC studio will go to silence anyone who actively calls them out on predatory microtransactions, poor game design, and lack of competency to listen to their community. At the end of the day, it's just a game, but this speaks VOLUMES about the people in charge at ZoS. If any big streamers or content creators like Asmongold caught wind of this, you would see immediate change. Oh well lady's and gentlemen, we tried. Flew a little too close to the sun on this one. But rest assured, I have plans -Crux

Appreciate the great information dude. Stopped playing this in 2019 and came back to it a couple days ago and my dps is so trash 😅 but this helped a ton... although i was a stamplar it still really helped 😁

This is huge, i recently started doing dps office hours, which is basically "ask me anything about any class, if i cant answer ill find someone who can", so of course i got 4 plars come outta nowhere asking me about the class ive never even had two 5-poece pve sets on 😂 Preciate you🙏🙏🐐

[@oaksf9252]

One of the best comments I’ve gotten thank you :)

[@Timmy9384]

When I saw the duration of time I figured, okay he's covering everything. I'm redoing my Templar. I thought I was a boss temp, but after watching this, I realized my guy was kind of a mess. It's not a total disaster, but a mess needing clean up. Currently stam but going mag. I feel like I'll have more fun and easier sustain with mag, for me anyway.

[@lecantogeometry5962]

Well done as always. If I could request a video that hasn't been done, it would be a "How to Pre-Buff for a little extra damage" video.

Something I’ll look into!

Much love pups happy holidays bro

[@jessfarris2461]

Gg buddy!

[@v.beggar8544]

Very good! Just one correction, you do not need to stand in the rune for major resolve. Standing in the rune is only for the increased healing... I'm in the game right now because I wanted to double check before I said anything about it. I appreciate the work you put into these guides. I watch them even for a class I know well to see what else I can learn, and often I do learn something new. Thanks, man!

[@eigh1puppies]

Thank you for pointing this out!

Badass ty

[@ColbyCadwell]

Oh ya. As someone alrdy said. Azure doesnt proc off jabs anymore n beam actually does. Seen some good current logs from azureplar on bahsei using spear as spammable tho

[@eigh1puppies]

Oops

[@exoib]

First! Thank you again mate.

[@jimimckenna7431]

This video is helpful, and I appreciate this. I do t believe I will be able to replicate his parse on console though because of the pre buffing. On PC you can have multiple skill loadouts saved and switch on a dime out of combat. The first two skillls used were Templar rune, which provides mana regeneration, and forward momentum, which provides steam regeneration and major sorcery and brutality for 40 seconds which allows him to delay degeneration if he wishes. Then he quick loads his parse setup and starts with ult and trap. Also I don’t see a practice use for this in content unless healer is wearing symphony and DSA resto, because he mags out before execute during the parse. I do love how informing this video on great sets to use and food tips, race etc.

[@eigh1puppies]

I went over the entire prebuff and how to do it on console :) shouldn’t be more than a 1-2k difference if you choose to skip it, so you for sure can beat it with good crit!

[@michelleoakes6318]

Very informative video, I may have missed this since I was in brain overload as a newer player, haha. But if I wanted to Vet Maelstorm, trying to figure out what set up to use with all the options talked about here. In the Arena Weapons section was that to just say these are good sets and where you get them or those would be recommend if doing an arena. Sorry for any stupid questions! :) Thanks!

[@eigh1puppies]

No such thing as a stupid question! There are situations in the game where running an Arena Weapon can make sense, and that section is to describe both when it does make sense, and what to run if it was a matter of preference if that makes sense :)

[@michelleoakes6318]

@eigh1puppies Thank you very much! :)

[@conorjones93]

Im rockin orders wrath and deadly with that mythic amulet atm but looking to change orders wrath.

[@eigh1puppies]

Orders is solid, but something like Pillar or Aegis would be an easy upgrade!

[@EliteAirShadow]

Great video as always I have questions, What would be the best set up for vet dungeons for console?

[@eigh1puppies]

On my Templar for four man I’m running either sul xan/mech acuity/deadly + WM depending on the fight. I stream four man on the Plar on Sundays come stop by :)

[@EliteAirShadow]

@@eigh1puppies awesome, thank you! I will definitely check your stream out! 👍🏽

[@vossboss220]

If you're using two perfected trial sets is the overlap on minor Slayer really that big of an issue? I thought the point of the perfected version is that you get another stat line as the five-piece bonus. So when did that in theory make up for the overlap? Genuine question I'm legitimately unsure

[@eigh1puppies]

Would it make up for the overlap, sure, but the point to consider is “do you get more damage from the 5th piece of a second trial set, or the 5th piece of a dungeon set + the extra stat line” Every sets 5th piece listed is so close in dps output, that it’s rarely worth missing the stat line. The Plar is the only real exception.

[@vossboss220]

@eigh1puppies Oooooooooooooh, ok I don't know how that didn't click in my head thank you 🙂

[@Ho0pxr]

Just hit 120 on the plar from 115 after watching. Thanks as always pups.

[@cash5675]

I’m new to the game and very confused, What skills would be best to swap if I have dual wield on front bar and lightning staff on back

[@eigh1puppies]

Nothing for dual wield on front bar, take off stampede for Elemental Blockade and take off Carve for Caltrops on the backbar

[@elifuenmayor8359]

Hey quick question, I'm deciding if I should ge ESO is the pve raiding and dungeons relevant?

[@eigh1puppies]

Very much so!

[@stevewasdf]

so 86k-126k kinda all over the place according to you’re video 1:06:19 interesting don’t care about a dummy hump but the build looks like fun and ill copy it thank you for you’re build dont like templars but i need it for javelin for frost vault.

I’m misunderstanding what you mean by 86k?

[@TW2711]

Hiya mate. If I've missed it, i appologise. I don't like running 2h on back bar. If i run bow or staff, what would replace stampede and carve?

Hi, why power or of light instead of purifying? If scale on magika should do more dmg? No?

[@eigh1puppies]

Purifying and Power of the Light both scale dynamically these days!

[@zedasprata]

Actually using Whorl of the Depths + Deadly Strikes + Zaan (dont have access to velothis mythic at the moment), suffering with sustain issues. Any advice?

[@eigh1puppies]

Plar is tough to sustain in general. If you don’t want to bother with the prebuffs that people are using to get by with sustain, you can just run ghastly at maybe a 2k dps hit!

[@zedasprata]

@@eigh1puppies Thank you very much mate. Im using Siphoning Spells from red champion point trees to solve the problem while cleaning trash. In bossfights, sustain is really an issue, but i dont want to lose so much healthpoints by using ghastly eye bowl, I fell i`d be squishy. I fell i must rely on the healers sinergies to maintain sustain. I thought using channeled focus + magickasteal/major breech from destro staff + 5 pieces light would solve the sustain, but not. I really need something else.

[@eigh1puppies]

In content a lot of people run masters bow for more Stam based skills. Hardly a loss and far better sustain!

[@joshferguson5153]

Can I use rele and deadly and still get good damage? I already have those sets to work with. Also what's the discord link?

[@eigh1puppies]

Yeah you totally can! Discord link should be in description!

[@vossboss220]

Which front bar staff would be better lightning or fire

[@eigh1puppies]

Its neck and neck for the Plar but I would guess lightning

[@geraltgrey-mane695]

Can I take this build into other places? like solo worldbosses vanilla+chapters/dlcs and vet/normal dungeon + solo arenas?

[@eigh1puppies]

The goal of the video was to present the 21 mil setup and offer gear/skill alternatives to build a more productive dungeon/arena build if that’s your goal! If you have questions happy to help :)

[@Ho0pxr]

Quick questions. Would non perfected siroria be worth it over pillar or does the extra mag from the bonus 5 make it that much better? Its the equivalent to 100 spl/wpn dmg right?

[@eigh1puppies]

I can’t say I’ve tested it, but I’m pretty confident siroria would still be stronger

[@xboxgamerz22]

What is best craft or can get from dungeon for one bar that is not monster set? As two best set to have for all classes.

[@eigh1puppies]

Order Wrath is a really strong craftable set. Pillar of Nirn and/or Aegis Caller are extremely competitive dungeon set options

[@xboxgamerz22]

@eigh1puppies alright I'm going to try order and one of the two and thank you very much and also you think new moon set worth it?

@@xboxgamerz22 new moon is okay but it’s def not a go to for damage imo

[@danielmcnabb9634]

Does ur mag n stam add to wepon n spell damage?

[@eigh1puppies]

No it doesn’t add directly to you weapon and spell damage. Increasing resources does increase damage though, and what got lost in translation somewhere in the community was the comparison: 1,000 max mag = the same dps increase as roughly 120 spell damage, not 1,000 max mag = 120 spell damage

[@eco9807]

Hi, im new and im wondering what exactly are ulti pots that you mention at 38:26?

[@eigh1puppies]

They restore mag/stam, give the major stam/mag recovery buffs, and offer minor heroism. Which gives extra ult over the potions duration! You can craft by combining Dragon Rheum, Dragon’s Blood, and Columbine.

[@eco9807]
