Templars are perhaps the best solo class in the game 2nd only to Rangers. Templars are a "Jack of all trades" class. They are able to fill the role of Tank or Healer, and can provide minimal dps. Many players choose a hybrid path for their Templars allowing them to fit any role at a moments notice. In order to truly fill the role of tank or healer specifically you may need to spec deeper into the corosponding trait trees. While the game description states that Templars can dps, the players tend to disagree. The amount of damage a templar can do is often insignificant compared to any other class. Perhaps the best attributes of the Templar class are their buffs. A templars buffs can make a significant contribution to any party or raid group. Templars can use any armour in the game although most tend to stick with chain mail until level 40 and then switching to plate mail after level 40. They can use a variety of 1 or 2 handed weapons, and may carry a shield. They are limited to throwing axes for ranged weapons. With a high armour class and ability to self heal, templars are often very hard to kill. They are a welcome addition to any group. Below are the Righteous, Warden, and Reprisal trait trees for the Templar class.
