Battlemaster Armor, max health bonus, guard bonus, mele defense bonus.

Blessed Blades with Lights in the Shadow.

Grappling Chain with Give Them the Boot.

Weakening opponents, leaving them vulnerable to all attacks.

Not only do you have a variety of damaging attacks to pull from, you can also weaken your opponents and break through their armor, causing them to take more damage from all attacks as battle progresses. Quality armor and gear will be important for this Templar. It just wonвЂ™t be quite as guard focussed as a traditional Templar. This build is different in that it throws out the idea of tanking to focus on a DPS approach to Templar.Дon't worry though, the usual Templar buffs will still apply as well as some guard for survivability. Cassandra is an excellent example of that in most peopleвЂ™s parties. Many Templar builds focus on sword and shield combat, balancing damage and armor. Having a Templar in your party is noticeably helpful during fights to close fade rifts, and when fighting rogue apostates or blood mages. The Templar is the warriorвЂ™s answer against magic and demons.

Best Staff Schematic/lvl, damage bonus, critical bonus, elemental bonus.

Superior Seer Cowl, reduce cooldowns, increase magic.

Refined Battlemage Coat, ranged defense, health bonus, willpower bonus.

Easiest mage to build and run, even for new players.

Access to all elemental types to surpass resistances.

Balance of single target and AOE attacks.

It is balanced and works well on its own, but there is no reason to to get creative and add more with specialty classes later on. This build can also be used as an excellent base for later additions. If they are resistant to one, then just use something else. The elementalist gets around this by having access to every element. Many enemies in the game have resistances to certain elements that mages use.

This is excellent if you prefer to take the story slower and focus on side questing, as it will take you longer to unlock specialty class options. This is the most versatile mage build in the game, and can be achieved without the use of specialty classes.
