My templar is 33 atm. Now my first question is do the 2 reactives as well as the mark of pawns(king, prince etc) all stack?

As templars what is the most used healing spell for everyone? Seems as even tho all my spells are master I or higher for the heals and reactives and etc. I do most of my healing with just the reactives and keeping them up at all times and only throwing out a amelior. or cure every once in a while. So I just dps and let the reactives take care of it. Now I do say this from a non-raid perspective, so the amount of damage the tank has incoming as well as the group is not nearly as severe as a raid.

Last question. Shield Ally, I could spec for it right now but would it be more benificial for me at this point in time then the casting speed and spell crit that I get from the INT line? I see the benifits of it but what concerns me at this point in time is getting a shield that would have good enough stats at this lvl to actually be worthwhile and outweigh the benifit of one of the new 2handed blessed MC weapons. If not when should I be looking into it? I would assume when I start raiding and/or when I get to 70.

thanks for helpin a noob

Your Reactives(if you're talking about the 2 of the same TYPE that you got while leveling), do not stack. That being, you can place a single-target on a person and a group reactive on the group, and they will trigger in parallel. Same with your emergencies(though I don't remember what level you get those at). While leveling, you are much better off going down the STR line and getting Steadfast first as it is a huge boon for solo leveling. Shield Ally is a completely useless ability outside of raiding, so you shouldn't ever bother getting it until you start raiding, at Level 80.

When you reach into the 70s and are in a group you will notice you need to use your direct heals more often as the mobs now hit harder than your reactives can deal with alone, but until then reactives pretty much have great healing capability in groups.

Ok cool. Yes was refering as you said the the group reactive and the single target.
Now a bit of diverson off that. Maybe im just not awake enough yet to get what your saying but eh its the internet so w/e. Since they do not stack, say I put up both and a mob is attacking fast enough to take one down before 30 seconds is up (or most likely have more then one mob on myself or tank) to where the first one goes down will the other go down as well or will it activate as the other goes down? Or is it that since they do not stack, that no matter what a target of a reactive heal will only have one on themselfs at any given time?

I do have the emergancy but I think ive used it a total of 1-2x since I got it lol

I am going get a mirror I think for the str line then, because even tho that is good for soloing I think that the INT line might be a bit more group friendly, yes?

The Group Reactive and Single Target reactive stack, and trigger in parallel. That being, if I have both on a person, and a mob hits, BOTH will trigger.

Ah ok. Thats what I figured but wanted to ask to be sure. Well thats kinda lame I guess lol. That would only help if the tank was taking enough damage to have both of those be effective.

Hey, it's Pinski being helpful with easy questions! I think somebody's bored at work.

In groups, the reactives and Repent (lvl 80 ward) should be your most often used heals. Direct group heal works to to counter a mini aoe. Try to get about 3 Overloaded Heal items in RoK, they're awesome for group content. (Ah, you're level 33.... zeesh).

Um... if you solo level a lot, betray to inquisitor and back to temp at 80 .p

ya im only 33 hehe. I like to learn as much as I can about classes as I play them(usually before I even create the class) to be as good as a player as i can.

Noobs and idiots piss me off so instead of being a lazy ass and being a shitty player I want to know as much as possible. Plus by doing this, it also aliviates(sp?) most questions as far as gearing and AAs and such, because I know last thing we need is another "Hi im new can you tell me what AAs to do?" /facepalm I mean really, is it that hard to use your fucking eyes and brain when reading all that you can and then asking a question?
/rant off lol
thanks for the help.


edit: fuck inq templar ftw

Music to my ears. If you aren't getting enough incomming damage to justify using both your reactives (group and direct), tell your tank to start pulling multiple heroic encounters. If nothing else it will teach them to tank better (or you'll die alot) and ifyou can pull it off the grind will go much quicker.

Quicker and more enjoyable.

I also found it fun where: A group is being kind of safe, pull rest pull, easy heals. I whisper the DPS to go nuts! Pop the group heal and start healing whoever needs it. The tank will be just fine

I also have some questions about templars, especially about the cleric aa tree.
How do you decide between the different paths. I consider Divine Recovery as very useful and with a Wizard as mainchar I'd even say it's a must-have. On the other hand there is Steadfast, which is also a very useful ability especially against Pawbuster f.e. .
If you skill these two paths (Str+Int), there are only enough AA Points left for either HealCrit (Sta) or Shield Ally (Agi).
So what to do??? Skipping Steadfast to get Shield Ally + Shield efficiency?
For a Magegroup DR is of course the best choice, but what else should be skilled and what about the MT Group?
