Magicka Templar Solo
Welcome to my Ultimate Magicka Templar Solo PVE Build for ESO. The Build is designed for players that prefer to play Solo, challenging themselves in any type of PVE content. You can use it to defeat Overworld Bosses, farm Public Dungeons, complete 4-man Dungeons in Normal or Veteran Difficulty and Solo Arenas like Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows.
Thanks to the Templar’s unique skills, the build offers great survivability with several tools that can help you heal yourself and destroy your enemies. If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Templar Beginner Guide. For an all around Magicka Templar PVE Build take a look at Holy Fire. You can find more Builds in the Templar Builds page.

Magicka Templar Solo Build Setup
The following Build will help you complete almost every Solo activity in The Elder Scrolls Online! From the easiest Overland content to Solo Arenas and 4-man Dungeons alone! You can use the Law of Julianos set for a starter, more beginner approach, or the (Perfect)False God’s Devotion for better sustain. The Ring of the Pale Order is a great Mythic Item you can use for better healing. Mother Ciannait is a good alternative for Templars as well!
