Suggestion on templars minion skill and talent change

[Wuuzurd 15]

 

 

Currently the skill has many issues mostly coming from it being locked behind spesific builds and setup times that ruin any chances for templars to be proper damagers in pve spesificly.

The current skill needs more mixed damage instead of locking half of the skill for spesific builds, the current talent  Furious Protector is also in need of some changes as this talent locks templars even further in theyr build choices. 

Changes:

 Particle of Life: An attack that deals physical or magical damage to the enemy in the amount of P% of the character's physical or magical strength and summons a monster to the enemy for T sec. The monster deals physical or magical damage to the enemy in the amount of D units and A% of the character's physical or magical power. The damage chosen for this skill is based on the weapon the character is using, Physical damage if the character is using a mace and magical damage if the character is using a staff.

The values of the skill would need to be changed a bit depending on the damage type, but this would allow templars more freedom of choice in theyr build while also not losing the use of half of the skill.

 

Changes:

 Furious Protector

Now the "Particle of Life" skill summons two monsters to the enemy (max 2 in the area at the same time) , and the range of its attack is increased by 2 yards. Instant skill damage reduced by 100%. The lifetime of the summoned monsters is reduced by 40%. The maximum health of the summoned monsters has been reduced by 15%.

This change would help templars get a more consistant dps instead of being forced to wait the super long cooldown of the skill, this would also help with templars being forced into going full physical if they go to the "stronghold of fait" talent branch. Every other summoner type class has a way of getting more than 1 summon at the start of theyr skill trough talents. Templar alone is stuck getting only 1 of them so i think it would be fair to let templars do this too.

 

Changes:

 Particle of Life +: Increases skill strength gain from character's physical damage by 5% and skill strength from character's magical damage by 5%.

This should also be applied to both damages from the "particle of life skill" as it currently only gives physical damage to instant damage and magic damage to the minion damage (with the new change idea i have here"

 

Templars are generally weak compared to every other class in the game, id even say theyr the weakest pve class currently in the game out of all the "damage" classes. Most low damage classes have a lot of healing or other support skills that they have instead of just damage so it makes up for theyr own low damage but templar has no pve support skills so they are stuck being full damagers for pve and not getting even close to any other damage class in terms of dmg. These changes to the Particle of Life skill and its talents would give templars a easier time keeping up with other damage classes. (Templars pve problems are so bad that people dont even build pve sets on them currently, since theres no point when a +8 of any other damage class can outdmg a +10 templar as long as that +8 class has talents. Current templar basicly has no pve talents to speak of so they are left very far behind every other class)

 

 

Theres no real problems with this talent but it would be nice to see it changed into something that affects templars minion skill too since its in the "minion" branch, Every other class that has these types of minion skills have a whole branch fully dedicated to theyr minion skill while templars one is just 1 talent.
