Build Viability (Trials/Arena/Dungeons)

Trials:
Sanctum: Mantikora will be tricky, unless you are using standing and nuking tactic. All other bosses + trashmobs will melt.
HRC: As long as tactics are Close Combat you will have high DPS.
AA: High DPS because Bosses mainly stand there doing nothing. Last boss you need to be Melee though otherwise you will get bad dps.
Arena:
This build is the Master of Arena. Biting Jabs has ridiculous high dps because you can spawnkill mobs and Jab through 2 Mobs at the same time.
Dungeons:
Undead/Daedra: Da whot? Where did the mobs go? Camohunter +this build and mobs will disappear
Non-Undead: Crazy DPS output due to Steeltornado and Biting Jabs.

Give some feedback to the guide so I can add information and make improvements

Champion System

194 CP atm. There might be better options but that is the setup I run at the moment.

The Tower
-Warlord – 31
The Lover
-Mooncalf – 34
The Ritual
-Mighty – 59
-Piercing – 0
-Precise Strikes – 5
The Steed
-Medium Armor Focus – 1
-Spell Shield – 23
The Lady
-Hardy – 30
-Elemental Defender – 20
-Thick Skinned – 14

Race

Redguard if you have the choice, Adrenaline Rush is way too good to pass on.
Adrenaline Rush passive: lets say every 3 seconds 700 Stam. So a Fight with a duration of 99 seconds it will tick 33 times, means you have around 23k free stamina from that passive. So I hope all get the importance of that passive.
Imperial would be 2nd choice.
Woodelfs also offer some good stamina bonuses

Mundus Stone Comparison (DMG of 1 Jab)

Warrior Mundus= 2976 noncrit/ 4643 crit
Shadow Mundus= 2884 noncrit/ 4816 crit

Cunclusion: If Weaponcrit is higher than 50% use Shadow, if its lower then use Warrior.

Stats and Set combo

These stats are with no pvp buffs. (pact ftw >.>)
I used Silverside perch pudding Foodbuff for Health+Stamina. +(3,8k health+3,5k stam)
Also, I am a WW for the 15% extra stamina.

Armor Parts= Glyph of Stamina
Necklace 1x = Glyph of reduced feat cost (skillcost reduction)
Ring 2x = Glyph of reduced feat cost (skillcost reduction)

Ravager: It procs of biting jabs and caltrops, that means it is up around 90% during a fight
1x Sword Precise + 1x Mace Sharpened (Gave me the best Results in case of overall DPS)

Other possible Setcombos (With Beginner Setup)

[spoiler]Always try to 5x Med and 2x heavy. The extra armor and spell resistance is nice.

Armor Parts= Glyph of Stamina
Necklace 1x = Glyph of reduced feat cost (skillcost reduction)
Ring 2x = Glyph of reduced feat cost (skillcost reduction)
The reduction is very important for your sustainabilty!

Here are some possible setscombos you want to go for.

Ravager: It procs of biting jabs and caltrops, that means it is up around 90% during a fight
[/spoiler]

Importance of Potion

Potion cooldown is now at 45 seconds. And potion is active for 43 seconds. So make sure you always use a potion. Weapon Damage potions give the same effect as for example Rally from the 2hander tree. If you do not use potions then you have to use Rally to get the Extra dmg buff.

Skills

2 Setups: Dualwield/ Bow — 2Hander/ Dualwield
( For some Bosses like Manti/Serpent/Stage 10 VDSA I use slightly different setups, I usually use there Rending Slashes and POTL)
Master Bow – If you have one use it, preferably INFUSED one. When you reapply caltrops/ulti you can shoot a poison injection at the enemy to gain a short 10s damage increase buff from the Master bow Enchantment, even works on dualwield bar)

Dualwield/ Bow setup: (weapon damage buff from Potions)

[spoiler][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gnFU5Wu.png[/IMG]

Bar 1

Quick Cloak – Reduces enemy AOE dmg by 20% and you get 40% speedbuff for 4 seconds.
Steel Tornado – One of the best AoE skill atm because of its 11m range. Crits for 12k on low health mobs.
Biting Jabs – This is your main damage skill both used for AoE (8m range) and for single target. 1 cast gives you 4 hits and this skill also procs Valkyn Skoria set.
Blazing Shield - Great ability to protect yourself.
Camo Hunter – Crits for up to 12k on mobs if it procs, has to be up all the time./ Repentance – Slotted for the 10% stam recovery bonus if you have stamina sustain issus.
Ulti: Flawless Dawnbreaker – Increases your Weapon damage, if you cant get your Shooting star ready in time, you can also use this ulti it does good damage.

Bar 2

Poison Injection – Start using this skill at 50% of Bosses HP and only use it when you switch to 2nd bar for Caltrops or Ulti.
Anti Cavalry Caltrops – Has to be up 100% of the time, deals very good DoT damage.
Scortched Earth – In AoE situations 100% uptime.
Blazing Spear – I only use that skill if i can throw it before mobs spawn or when Tank needs spears
Evil Hunter – Evil Hunter – Crits for up to 12k on mobs if it procs, has to be up versus Undead all 24/7 and on other fights I activate it at the start.
Ulti: Shooting Star – Make sure the boss stands still when you use it, best damage Ulti atm.
[/spoiler]

2Hander/ Dualwield Setup: (Use this setup only if you prefer 2H over Dualwield! It is weaker than Dualwield)

[spoiler][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/f0oJKt2.png[/IMG]

Bar 1

Rally – Boosts weapon damage by 20%. If you do have Weapon crit potions that boost Weap dmg, you do not really need this skill, put smth else there
Critical Charge – Gap Closer
Biting Jabs – This is your main damage skill both used for AoE (8m range) and for single target. 1 cast gives you 4 hits and this skill also procs Valkyn Skoria set.
Executioner – Start using this skill at 25-20% of enemies health it deals crazy damage.
Repentance – Slotted for the 10% stam recovery bonus. Also good to regain Stamina if your healers too lazy to slot it :/
Ulti: Flawless Dawnbreaker – Increases your Weapon damage, if you cant get your Shooting star ready in time, you can also use this ulti it does good damage.

Bar 2

Quick Cloak – Reduces enemy AOE dmg by 20% and you get 40% speedbuff for 4 seconds.
Anti Cavalry Caltrops – Deals very good DoT damage and procs Ravager set. (Aggros all the mobs so be ready)
Steel Tornado – One of the best AoE skill atm because of its 11m range. Crits for 12k on low health mobs.
Repentance – Slotted for the 10% stam recovery bonus. Also good to regain Stamina
Evil Hunter – Provides critical buff.
Ulti: Shooting Star – This skill is the most powerful ulti in 1.6. Deals crazy AoE damage.// Solar Prison – For more defensive situations like in arena you can use it because it deals good damge and reduced damage of enemies by 30%. [/spoiler]

Valkyn Monster Set + Camouflaged Hunter

[spoiler]

Valkyn Monster Set: It is only worth using if you have caltrops. Otherwise get yourself another Weapon damage bonus. DPS Varying between 500-1,4k.
Make sure to use Valkyn only if you have 2 MEDIUM Pieces. Because you already have 2 Heavy pieces with Ravager you need 5 other Medium pieces.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Hsdkmaf.png[/IMG]
Camouflaged Hunter: On Non-Undead fights you still get approx 2k+ dps from it so make sure it is up 100% of the time. Also, sometimes it stays activated for 2h+ for some strange reason. On undead mobs you will get 5k+ DPS from it.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zSPaI7C.png[/IMG]

As you can see, even on Non-Undead Monsters Camohunter does great damage(with caltrops)
As you see, it did 300k damage (2nd best skill) on the fight. USE IT!!!!!

Daedra/Undead Mobs

[/spoiler]

Stamina sustain and Stamina Recovery

Stamina Recovery – Templar has the advantage of the 10% stamina rec buff from repentance or radiant aura. Currently I am using Radiant aura because healers use repentance.
I am also using 2x Bloodspawn because it gives 117 Stamina Recovery bonus and nice protection. With Bloodspawn set and Potion buff or Radiant aura buff(both give Major Endurance buff) I am currently at 1,2k Stamina Recover with dualwield compared to 1k with 2hander. I really feel the difference of the 200 more Stamina recover it is pretty nice.
Stamina sustain – You and most of your teammates rely heavely on the healer due to Spears AND the most important skill repentance. If you have stamina builds in your group and your healer doesnt use those skills slap him in the face and tell him to use it on dead mobs!

Changes to skills in 1.6

[spoiler][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tb3L94P.png[/IMG]

Biting Jabs scales off Stamina now and dmg has been increased by 40%. That means that it finally can compete with other skills. Also gives a 10% Weapon Crit increase for 8 seconds. (Same buff as Evil Hunter provides)

Burning Light passive now scales off the higher stat which makes it deal crazy dps And check the FTC dmg picture where it is on the list, it is one of the higher dps ability on the FTC meter that is crazy!

Evil Hunter has changed, Now it gives you additional 10% Weapon Critical.

Piercing Spear is a powerful passive and now that Biting Jabs has been boosted it is really helpful.

Power of the Light is now a instant cast ability which makes it a good skill for every Templar. Also reduces armor of enemies.

Shooting Star is the best Ulitmate in game at the moment, it deals great single target damage and it also does crazy AoE damage. [/spoiler]

Rotation

Biting Jabs: Jabs // HA: Heavy Attack // LA: Light Attack // Caltrops: Anti Cavalry Caltrops

Single Target:
First of all, jabs is your main damage skill, it is kinda up to you what else you want to use, here is an example of a easy rotation.
100-25%: Caltrops(recast every 30 seconds)>Jabs>LA>Jabs>LA…
25-0%: Start using Rending slashes every 10 seconds. (if you have it slotted)
Ultimate: Use Shooting star whenever it is ready and the boss does not move around too much, because you want the AOE effect of Shooting star to keep hitting the boss.

DPS

Single Target:
Sanctum approx 16-17k — AA/HRC approx 16-25k.
AoE: My AoE DPS is between 15-40k, depending on how many mobs are around.
