Written by _leonis · last updated Oct 2, 2026

Highest TEMPLAR Dps available in the game.

Build has Levelling and Early/Mid Game setup.

I'll edit this a week or so after release especially if there s big changes happening.

EDIT 1: We only have 4 Stigmas available at the same time, setup fixed and added a swap to safe option for tough fights.

EDIT 2: Daevanion board updated (tip: Prioritize getting skills at lvl12 rather than completing the board or getting the corner keynodes)

Anyways, check my YouTube for more: @xleonis
Full YouTube video guide explaining how the build works, showing the Macro, what to prioritize when it comes to Skill lvls, Stats on Gear and so on!

Levelling

Levelling setup for Main Story Quest.
Spam Pummel, Templar · Skill and Macro.
