Build Setup – Stamina Templar Build

Lets take a look at the Stamina Templar Build. Below you will find things like Sets, Skills, Champion Points, Buff-food, Mundus Stone, Potions, Passives and Attributes. These are all important aspects of the Stamina Templar Build.

5x Perfected Relequen, 5x Berserking Warrior, 2x Selene on an Orc with Artaeum Takeaway Broth food.

• Unbuffed: Out of combat, buff-food active.
• Buffed: In combat, Buff-food, Raid target dummy buffs, Weapon Damage Enchantment, Weapon Damage Potions.

Gear for the Stamina Templar Build

You will find 3 different setups here. Setup 1 is the preferred setup. For people that do not have all the gear yet can use the Setup 2 which is easier to obtain and beginners can use Setup 3.

• Setup 1 is with Trial Gear
• Setup 2 is without Trial Gear
• Setup 3 is for Beginners

There are a lot of good Stamina Sets available, you can find more viable stamina dps sets in this Stamina DPS Sets Article. I also elaborate on specific sets that are often used in this article to give you a bit more insight as to why they are used.

Gear Setup 1 – Stamina Templar Build

You can also run Deadly Strike as a replacement for Berserking Warrior.

Gear Setup 2 – Stamina Templar Build

This setup is for those that did not have the chances yet to step into a trial. You will deal slightly less damage than with the tier 1 setup, but not by much. Overall, the gear here is easier to get because you aren’t required to enter a trial.

• Briarheart Dagger: There is an unique Dagger “Materre’s Bodkin” that you can get fairly easy, instead of buying it expensive in the store.

Gear Setup 3 Beginner – Stamina Templar Build

This setup is dedicated to people that have not had the chance to farm the necessary gear for the maximum damage potential. All the gear here is either craftable or cheap to get in a guildstore.

Make sure to ask a friend to craft Hunding’s Rage and Night Mother’s Gaze. Agility jewelry can be obtained in the Guildstores. I do recommend having around 18k health (with buff-food). You can buy cheap Agility jewelry with healthy trait to reach this value if you want.

Where can I get the gear?

Berserking Warrior: Hel Ra Citadel
Perfect Arms of Relequen: vCloudrest
Arms of Relequen: Cloudrest
Perfected Thunderous Volley (Maelstrom Bow): vMaelstrom Arena
Thunderous Volley (Maelstrom Bow): vMaelstrom Arena

Skills

The skill setup for the Stamina Templar Build is very focused at maximizing your damage in your group.

Camouflaged Hunter is only on the front bar to increase our overall Weapon Damage through Fighters Guild passives.

Champion Points for the Stamina Templar Build

In this section you can find a distribution of the Champion Points system for the Stamina Templar Build. If you need optimized defensive Champion Points for a specific trial I recommend checking out my Maximize Damage Mitigation in Trials Article.

• Calculator: In case you need help distributing your Champion Points, make sure to check out the Champion Points Calculator!

Champion Points [810]

Please note that the Piercing perk in the Champion Points Ritual Tree depends on your raid setup. Always ask your raid/group leader how much points you should place in Piercing. This depends on many factors such as debuffs and buffs, some raids may have more and therefore need less points in piercing, or the other way around.

Attributes

All into Stamina

Resource Management

As a Stamina Templar the most important thing is to keep up your Restoring Focus. This will increase your sustain and damage mitigation.

Repentance can be used to drain dead bodies for resources.

Energy Orb will always be present in a good group. When you get close to the Orb you can activate its synergy to regain resources.

Potions should always be used on cooldown to gain the maximum benefit from them.

Heavy Attacks help you restore Stamina, if you drop low on resources do a few Heavy Attacks between skills to refill your Stamina.

• Restoring Focus
• Orbs or Spears from Healers
• Heavy Attacks
• Potions
• Repentance

Rotation for the Stamina Templar Build

Please check out the “Weaving Beginner Guide” which explains how to weave light attacks between abilities, aka animation canceling. This is important to reach the maximum damage potential.

Endless Hail > LA > Ritual of Retribution > Weapon Swap

LA > Barbed Trap > 8x Biting Jabs > Weapon Swap

Restart

• LA = Light Attack
• Activate Power of the Light whenever it exploded, keep it up all the time if possible.
• Deadly Cloak should be reactivated after it runs out.

Area of Effect Setup

This setup here is focusing on an AoE setup, this way you can be more effective when fighting trash packs or just a large amount of monsters.

Gear Setup

Skills

Note: You can also check out the Two Hander version of the AoE setup in case you want to run Dual Wield for Single Target and Two Hander for AOE like most players do.

Maelstrom & Vateshran Hollows Arena

Please check out the Solo Stamina Templar Build for specific Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows Arena setups.
