Spell Resistance: How much spell damage your armor mitigates. Spell Penetration: This determines how much of your spell is mitigated by a target’s armor score. Spell Critical: The percent chance your spell will do critical (50% extra) damage or healing.

Spell Damage: The base amount of damage you deal (or health you heal) with your spells. The philosophy of maxing out your Maximum Magicka spills out into virtually every other part of this guide, so it’s an important concept to understand early.Īnd on that note, here’s why the Spell Damage, Spell Critical, Spell Penetration, Spell Resistance stats are important. Reason #2: Your Maximum Magicka score directly affects how powerful your spells and Destruction Staff attacks are. Reason #1: Higher Maximum Magicka means you won’t run out of Magicka as quickly in the heat of combat. There are two reasons you want to do this. The sole idea here is to max out your Maximum Magicka stat. When you build a Magicka-based DPS character like our DPS Magicka Templar, you should comfortably pour all 64 attribute points into Magicka. These are earned during the journey from level 1 to 50, and though you may be tempted to spread them out, that’s not ideal. Attribute points can only go in three directions in Elder Scrolls Online : Health, Magicka, and Stamina. In ESO, you get a total 64 attribute points to dole out over the course of a character’s lifetime. Each of the equipment pieces, items, and skills referred to throughout this guide are specifically geared to ESO characters of that level and Champion Rank, or higher. If you have the hunger for holy justice and are looking to create the ultimate DPS Magicka Templar for PVE content in Elder Scrolls Online, read on!ĭisclaimer : This guide expects that you’ve leveled a Templar to level 50, and have achieved a Champion Rank of at least CP160. Apply Max Magicka and Spell Resistance liberally, grab a Destruction Staff, and you have yourself a DPS Magicka Templar that can pack a serious punch - either solo, or in dungeons and trials. It’s possible to create any kind of Templar you’d like, whether that be a gilded warrior who also keeps the party healed (like a traditional paladin), or a swaggering rogue who also wields the destructive power of the sun.īut how does one create a DPS Templar archmage with the damage-dealing capabilities of Mehrunes Dagon in Elder Scrolls Online ? By the Eight Divines, it’s simple! Just dump as many points into Spell Damage, Spell Critical, and Spell Penetration as you can. As with the other playable classes in Elder Scrolls Online, the Templar is entirely configurable to your playstyle.

The ESO Templar is no stranger to Restoration magic, but this class is far more than a run-of-the-mill paladin lookalike.
