Magicka Templar Solo Build - ESO U50 PTS Guide

• Puncturing Sweep - a spammable that will heal you for 25% of the damage done and deals full damage in an AoE
• Radiant Glory - an execute to which you should switch when your enemy is roughly at 25% HP. It'll heal you for 15% of the damage done
• Power of the Light - an ability that deals a lot of damage and applies the Sunder status effect. Sunder applies Minor Breach and grants you 100 Weapon and Spell Damage for 4 seconds. Power of the Light is also going to proc the Illuminate passive, granting you Minor Sorcery for 20 seconds, which increases your Spell Damage by 10%
• Luminous Shards - a 10 second ground DoT which will grant you a synergy which restores 3960 Stamina and Magicka when used
• Traveling Knife (Poison, Assassin's Misery, Brutality and Sorcery) - a skill that increases enemies' chance to get affected by Status Effects by 100% which is a decent DPS boost for you and your entire group. It will also grant you Major Brutality and Sorcery, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 20%.
• Everlasting Sweep - an ultimate that deals AoE damage around you and continues to deal damage for 10 seconds, increasing by 2 seconds for each enemy hit.
• Channeled Focus - an ability that places a rune on the ground and grants you Major Resolve for 25 seconds, which is an extremely important defensive buff. It's also going to restore your Magicka and heal you for 2% of your Max Health every second, which increases to 6% if you're standing inside of the rune
• Ulfsild's Contingency (Bleed, Lingering Torment, Resolve) - a 22 second DoT which will also grant you Minor Resolve, increasing your armor by 2974
• Elemental Susceptibility - an extremely strong ability that does a multitude of things. It's completely free to cast so it'll help you sustain. It applies Major Breach, which reduces enemies' armor by 5948 which is a massive damage increase. It also applies Burning, Chilled and Concussed status effects at the beginning and then every 7.5 seconds. All of these Status Effects deal decent damage, but Concussed will also apply Minor Vulnerability for 4 seconds, increasing enemies' damage taken by 5%. Chilled will also apply Minor Maim for 4 seconds, reducing enemies' damage done by 5%
• Blockade of Fire - this ability will constantly apply your Weapon Damage enchantment
• Vampire's Bane - a 32 second DoT that grants you Major Savagery and Major Prophecy
• Shooting Star - an ultimate that deals damage in an AoE, leaves a ground DoT and grants you Ultimate for each enemy hit with the initial blast. It is only used when you enter a fight with a lot of Ultimate saved up. Everlasting Sweep is the main ultimate in this build

Ulfsild's Contingency is the first skill that has to go if you need to slot situational. If the situational skill needs a front-bar slot, replace Luminous Shards, unless the situational skill specifically says it's replacing something else

• Resolving Vigor - use it for fights where there's a lot of damage happening in a short burst. The HoT from Resolving Vigor is short but very strong, so casting it at the right time can help you survive such mechanics. The Minor Resolve it provides will also reduce all of your damage taken. It can also be used in fights with invulnerability phases where you can't heal with Ring of the Pale Order, Puncturing Sweep and Radiant Glory
• Silver Leash - a chain ability that you can slot in trash packs to stack enemies and get through them faster
• Razor Caltrops - a source of AoE Major Breach which can be used instead of Elemental Susceptibility in AoE fights
• Ulfsild's Contingency (Bleed, Gladiator's Tenacity, Force) - a different script combination which trades the DoT from Lingering Torment for the mitigation from Gladiator's Tenacity. Use it in fights where you need more damage mitigation.
• Luminous Shards - the front-bar skill you replace when a situational skill needs a front-bar slot
• Revealing Flare - slot it for more difficult fights where you need more damage mitigation. It's a skill that passively grants Major Protection, reducing your damage taken by 10%. It will also trigger the Magicka Aid passive, which increases Magicka Recovery by 10%
• Race Against Time - snare removal which will be crucial for some fights
• Ritual of Retribution - a strong ground DoT which cleanses 2 debuffs when cast. It is not in the regular setup because that setup keeps Ulfsild's Contingency for the armor potion setup, but it is still useful whenever a fight has an important debuff you need to cleanse
• Precognition - an ultimate that breaks you out of some otherwise unavoidable stuns, you'll need it to get around some mechanics which are otherwise impossible or very difficult to solo, like for example Inferno's Hold in Zaan the Scalecaller fight
