Magicka Templar Solo Build - ESO 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%
• Deadly Cloak - this ability deals damage around every 2 seconds for 20 seconds and grants you Major Evasion for the duration, reducing your AoE damage taken by 20%. It's crucial because you need another Stamina ability to reduce the strain on your Magicka pool
• Ulfsild's Contingency (Bleed, Lingering Torment, Force) - 22 second DoT which also grants you Minor Force, increasing your Critical Damage by 10%
• Flawless Dawnbreaker - an ultimate we'll keep slotted to activate the Slayer and Banish the Wicked passives which increase Weapon and Spell Damage by 3% and generate Ultimate on kills. You can also use it towards the end of the fight if it's obvious you won't get enough Ultimate for another Shooting Star
• 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
• Luminous Shards - a 10 second ground DoT which will grant you a synergy which restores 3960 Stamina and Magicka when used
• 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% and it will also apply Minor Brittle for 4 seconds if you were on your Ice Staff bar while the Chilled effect procced, and Ice Staff will be part of the Instanced gear setup. Minor Brittle increase Critical Damage taken by 10%. The Chilled proc will also synergise with our Elemental Blockade
• Elemental Blockade - this ability will constantly apply your Weapon Damage enchantment. If it's the Ice version, it will also constantly apply Minor Breach to enemies who are Chilled, and they'll be Chilled thanks to Elemental Susceptibility
• Solar Barrage - a 22 second DoT effect which deals damage around you and increases your damage done with class abilities by 5%
• Shooting Star - a powerful ultimate that deals damage in an AoE and grants you Ultimate for each enemy hit with the initial blast

Deadly Cloak and Solar Barrage are the first skills that have to go if you need to slot situational, 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.
• 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. It replaces Ulfsild's Contingency because it also provides Minor Force
• Ritual of Retribution - a decent ground DoT which cleanses 2 debuffs when cast. It wasn't strong enough to make it into Regular setup but it becomes worth it whenever a fight has some important debuff you need to cleanse
• Barbed Trap - an alternative source of Minor Force which can replace Ulfsild's Contingency. It does more damage, but because of the Stamina cost it becomes unsustainable in fights where you have to dodge roll and/or block anything
• Wield Soul (Shock, Druid's Resurgence, Maim) - a spammable which replaces Puncturing Sweep in fights where you have to stay at range
• Soul Burst (Bleed, Lingering Torment, Courage) - a 20 second AoE DoT which grants you Minor Courage, which increases your Weapon and Spell Damage by 215. It becomes crucial in Ranged setup, because that setup cannot use Deadly Cloak, so it needs another Stamina ability to reduce the strain on Magicka pool
• Consuming Trap - a very weak DoT which replenishes your resources when the affected target dies, it can provide you with a lot of sustain in fights which constantly spawn weak adds
• 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
