And you'd be right in a lot of ways - but there are diminishing returns on Sword and Shield crits: their cooldowns are already extremely short, and they tend to knock down the enemy and have long animations. In other words, and since knocked down enemies can't be hit by autoattacks, with as little as 25% crit you're never NOT using an active ability.

 

On paper, it's good; it just doesn't compete in practice compared to high base damage, stagger on hit, attack and armor reduction, provided you get your crit source somewhere else. Again, this is from the point of view of a Solo sword and shield Warrior maximizing personal dps; if you give all your rings to rogues, of course you're going to want some crit chance on your weapon, because the cooldown benefit from the first few crit% are noticeable.

 

So do you think that might make a 1h sword the best? Get roughly about 25-30 percent crit and flow of battle to shave just 2-3 seconds of your cooldowns, so you can go some like this: Lunge and slash, shieldbash, wack wack, payback strike, and repeat. Swords can hit em on the ground and have higher base dmg anyway, so you can always be using an attack ability, and get in a couple wacks while they are the ground to regen the scond or two you need for stamina.

For me, wrath of heaven and spell purge combo is always the way to go Imao. Wear something like amulet of 2nd wind or death syphon and use masterwork explosion on kill. Get your crit up and you can do the combo all day long

 

What I do: charge in, wrath of heaven, purge, roll around, charge again, wrath of heaven, purge, rinse repeat.

Chip in a war horn and whirlwind inside static cage every now and again to get your guard up. 

 

Templars who don't spam wombo combo are not true templars!

Stone Breaker. Personal favourite.

I made this thread mainly to discuss a 2H Templar, but damn son, you guys convinced me to go SnS.
So which 1H/Shield is the best for crit/ offense

[Evelynne]

Unfortunately, it looks like total ass.

 

Cheat Engine can fix that for you.

[HEROx Divine]

Xbox one cheat engine? I wish

[Evelynne]

 

Seriously though. Chromatic Greatsword basically gives you an extra swing with every attack. No amount of stats (in this version of the game) are going to match that.

[HEROx Divine]

This thread has me leaning towards SnS. It seems like the Templar survives a lot more and still does decent damage for soloing.

[Evelynne]

Well the reason for that is Wrathpurge usually if I'm not mistaken (having played nothing but mages I'm not really that overwhelmed by it but w/e).

 

I've not really used 1h swords since my mage took over tanking (lol) but Masterwork Tevinter Longsword isn't bad.

SnS definitely doesn't die as quickly, as far as templar goes,for me the spell purge is just so useful on nightmare trials. An elite mage is the toughest opponent I've faced, and stacking dispels with 600 percent weapon damage helps a lot. I'm biased though, I originally was a 2 hander but when I saw Ser Barris charging around with his tower shield I immediately respeced and choose the path of templar lol. Not sure on the best weapon load out myself either.

Charging Bull and Combat Roll is a must if you solo. CB allows you to cast a free WrathPurge

I am really struggling with damage on a SnS.  Shield Bash is great if the enemy has guard, but drilling through Walk Softly'd barriers and huge life pools is horribly boring.  It leaves me wondering about masterworks and what not. 

 

Right there with you. Was loving the SnS Champion until I got to JOH. There's a fade rift on the river that spawns 3 or 4 Pride Demons. Wouldn't be so bad except you are confined to a tight space with the way the Rift is situated. I simply could not do enough damage to them to kill them before they killed my entire team and forced me to use most of my health potions. I just got the Prismatic Great Axe schematic from the War Table and am contemplating re-rolling as a 2H Templar.

You should use 2H champion to do it. Actually with a 2H champion you can solo all the Pride Demons. TTD, combat roll, WF, HOV, charging bull, that's all you need. 

[Bigdawg13]

Not sure about tcun but needed more taunts than what you normally get with 2h champ. I prefer party play.

Been there done that- was trying for a different warriror play through this time around. I usually play something for 3-4 levels and then re-roll.

I tested out a 2H Templar via soloing and surviving over a extended period of time is difficult. SnS has consistent damage and it's very easy to tank mobs over a 2H. You out damage a Champion in most cases due to buffs and WrathPurge.

Did you go the templar route and get an enhanced amulet of barrier after killing fiona? 

 

Soloing nightmare with trials without an amulet of barrier on your warrior is pretty arduous. 

[Bigdawg13]

Just remember damage taken with a barrier active negates all armor value.

I have been one shot by so many elite archers lmao. 

 

But yeah, overflow is usually deadly. And the warrior doesn't really have a way to close distance quickly like a rogue which makes soloing as a 2 hander dangerous.

Nope! I dedicate my amulets to increasing stamina and lowering cool downs. I am not a fan of barriers on a warrior due to increased damage/amour negation.

With the new toggles and gear a two handed templar is quite viable. The chromatic 2H weapons give you the necessary damage, the new whirlwind can effectively lockdown group of mobs and you do not need WOH for normal human enemies, war horn will do that for you just fine. Against demons WOH is better as a massive damage aoe.
