Introduction
The Templar is one of the four original classes introduced in The Elder Scrolls Online at launch. The Templar has been known as the original healing class of the game. With that being said, the Templar has always been able to produce some great DPS and clutch kills in PvP. Over the years with the direction of ESO going towards “Play any class any way you want” makes the decision of wanting to play a damage Templar even easier. A lot of players will tell you playing a Templar in PvP is their favorite way to play the game. So without further ado here is our ESO Stamina Templar PvP Build.
Overview
Race: Khajiit (best choice) or Imperial (also a great choice)
Food: Orzorga’s Smoked Bear Haunch (Best in slot food but very expensive, use Jewels of Misrule if gold is a problem the difference is small)
Mundus Stone: The Shadow (increase critical damage)
Vampire Stage: Vampire Stage 3
Consumables: Essence of Immovability, Tri-Stat Potions, Resistance Potions
Attributes: 0 Magicka, 15 Health, 49 Stamina
Gear
The best in slot options for this build would be considered “meta” and it is advised to try and stay to the best option as best as possible. We are balancing the sets with the most damage you can obtain on the front bar while using a tanky back bar.

Skills
Front Bar
Front Bar: Biting Jabs, Power of the Light, Binding Javelin, Radiant Oppression, Camouflaged Hunter, Dawnbreaker of Smiting
Back Bar
Back Bar: Honor the Dead, Living Dark, Resolving Vigor, Restoring Focus, Race Against Time, Temporal Guard
Rotation
Buff Rotation: The buff rotation is as follows. Restoring Focus, Living Dark, and Race Against Time are the buffs you want to keep up during fights. Resolving Vigor is a strong heal over time. Honor the Dead is the “oh crap!” burst heal. And Temporal Guard is the defensive ultimate that can reset the fight if really struggling to stay alive.
Damage Rotation: The damage rotation is simple. Power of the Light to open up the fight, Binding Javelin will stun while you spam Biting Jabs. When you get them about half health or less Dawnbreaker of Smiting is a strong burst ultimate and finish with the execute Radiant Oppression.
