About this build

The common group-PvP stigma set: Shield of Protection and Taunt go to 20 first, Comrade in Arms redirects damage from focused ranged allies onto the Templar, and Doom Shield engages onto a target. Control actives (Poach, Shield Smite, Annihilate) and tolerance passives keep the frontline stable.

Endgame gear at level 45

Endgame gear at level 45

The highest item level each slot reaches at level 45. Crafted pieces exist for both factions (Elyos · Asmodians) with the same stats.

The best Item Level each slot can reach at the level cap. Weapons, armor and jewelry are the Item Level 102 pieces with five soul lines, made by Transfer crafting from their Item Level 94 versions, so craft those first. Bracelets come from the Sanctuary or Substance Morph (Item Level 86). The belt and the amulet come from Substance Morph (Item Level 65); the amulet differs between PvE and PvP. Runes come from quests and chests (Item Level 40).

Medium confidenceRead from the client's items: the highest item level a player can obtain for each slot at level 45.

Assumed: every Regional quest and Seal dungeon of your faction done once by level 45, at its recommended level (Asmodian Seals on the speedrun route at that route's level, never earlier). Levels alone give 136.

The goal is every node. Leveling pays for part of it, so the order decides what comes first: the nodes that raise your core skills, then these keystones.

Keystones marked Board 6 cost Daevanion Crystal: Azphel, which leveling to 45 does not give: they come after the cap.

Our suggestion, read from the client's stat descriptions: no player data covers level-45 keystones yet.

The group-PvP set is a projection not yet proven in play; mastery levels are our reading of the EU skill text.

Mastery levels above 10 and stigma levels above 20 come only from bonus skill levels on gear and progression boards: a later goal.
