HEAVY ATTACK TEMPLAR SOLO GUIDE

When it comes to solo PvE, you need both damage and survivability so pretty much all races have useful racials.

The best race for dealing damage is Khajiit. While the Critical Damage from Feline Ambush can sometimes be wasted due to Critical Damage being capped at 125%, it will never happen in solo content, because there will be no tanks or healers providing you with the Major Force buff.

The best race for survivability is Nord. The Rugged racial will provide around 6% damage mitigation.

For overland content you should use The Shadow Mundus, which increases your Critical Damage.

For instanced content you should use The Lover Mundus, which increases your Penetration.

For extremely difficult dungeons you should consider switching to The Lady Mundus, which increases your Armor.

You should use the Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl. If you need a cheaper alternative, Solitude Salmon-Millet Soup provides only slightly lower stats.

Other decent foods:

• Orzorga's Tripe Trifle Pocket provides Stamina Recovery at the cost of Maximum Magicka. It will lower your damage, but it’s very useful for fights where you have to dodge roll a lot.
• Orzorga's Smoked Bear Haunch provides Magicka and Stamina Recovery at the cost of Maximum Magicka. It will lower your damage, but it’s very useful for fights where you have to both dodge roll a lot and spam your Hardened Ward.
