Templars can Use 2handers and Dish out Damage?

[Tro]

Can Templars Dish out damage, or are they always a tank?

[Aquarius]

I'm sure that they have it balanced so Templars can produce enough damage. They just wont be able to do as much as the Glad.

I say if you like defending then go with the Temp but if you like killing go with the Glad.

Honestly though I think someone else can better anwser this (perhaps someone who will go one of these classes)

Templars will more than likely focus on defense and damage prevention. One skill we've seen is a shield bash that has a chance to stun the opponent, though the Templar video specifically shows his using a two handed sword at the end for a powerful looking attack.

Templar will not have as much damage output, but all the classes will be formidable in damage, apparently.

Templars are neat.

Also on the other Sub-forum there seem to be a thread with Knight Skills.

Knight Skills are the baseline Skills of the Templar and the Gladiator, or is the Knight a whole new class?

[Cyroth]

knight is just a branch in the tree as far as i know, you be able to choose between templar and glad at a later level in the game

Remember guys, the more damage the Temp takes, the more he dishes out.

[knite16]

Well in that case... HIT MEH!

[Tro]

so what are all the primary classes? that you can chose from the start, before you branch off?

Next time feel free to use the ASK A QUESTION GET AN ANSWER thread.

But, before that, always check ULTIMATE FAQ first!

Lol in comes lyan with the usual FAQ post

To answer your questions Tro:

1) Templars are said so far to be able to dish out more damage than the usual tank. However, remember there must be a balance within the classes, so don't expect to outdamage a Gladiator, Ranger, or Assassin anyday when comparing melee classes. However, their defense will help them last longer in combat which gives them more time to deal damage, so in the end it may win in a PvP. But we will find that out with release~

2) You start as one of the four general classes in Aion, and at Lv.10, you choose a further class, which can be one of two within your general class. For Knights, we can choose Gladiator or Templar. For Scouts, they can choose Ranger or Assassin, etc~ In total there are 4 general classes, thus 8 classes to choose from as a Daeva

Templars are known to suck really bad on PvPs in korean forums right now. About every range class can pwn them. Only thread I remember ever reading that said a templar killed something was a lvling thread and vs chanter..

[Endrance]

That's a well known issue in many MMOs. Sounds like Templar should have something to suck people in range. Something like a Provoke Skill, which actually forces people to attack you for a certain amount of time.
I've always been for a skill that deals damage depending on how much you've gotten in the last, say 30 seconds as a tank (not dealing all of it, but a certain amount, maybe depending on other skills and how you use it). Original, adapted and effecient.
Just being almost unkillable doesn't help if you can't reach your opponent.

So does the Templer has a thorn skill to reflect damage? or berserk state, like he takes it in all and quiet but it reaches to one point where he cannot hold it back and bursts it all out.
Sounds a bit like real life lol

A well-geared Templar will never dish out as much damage as a well-geared Assassin, Sorcerer, or Gladiator, or even Ranger. They'll still be able to do decent damage, but their primary focus is on taking damage, not dishing it out.

[Calindor]

dishing out damage means nothing, tanks in l2 dishout crap damage, but they can beat almost any char in a 1v1
