Why do I keep hearing that templar is the best?

[Sinister100]

I keep seeing people repeat templars and clerics are owning it up in either CN/korea, can't remember which, could anyone shed some light on this? And is it china or korea aion this is happening in?

How is templar in abyss pvp over there anyway? or are they talking about 1v1 duels?

it's all a bunch of psychological masturbation, imo.

The theory crafting monster rears it's head once more!!!

I dont know I saw some pvp videos of a gladiator in china (Team Devil) and he pretty rocked the **** out of templars.

I like Glads, but i did see a 45 Templar win a 3v1 against a 43 sorc and two 45 Glads. I dont know gear differences but that shouldnt matter much with those odds. The clerics are good but they get nerfed 1.2

[Raves]

I t all depends on the players behind the chars. If you have a really good player behind the templar and not so good players behind the other three then it is possible for the templar to beat their asses. XD

Mostly it's in 1v1 duels, but the Templar is a solid class in higher levels. Well equipped and played properly Templars are extremely hard to take out.

The skill is in the player, not the class, as usual.

Someone says something, and you can be sure that several dozens of people will repeat it forever EVEN if they don't have access to the game itself.

It frustrating because, obviously those those tournaments were organized (with special rules, number 1 was NO flying and small area), players were ultra geared etc. Doesn't happen in "usual" abyss pvp.

Not being able to kite effectively or not being able to get away in order to recover CDs is bs ...
So stop making assumptions, play on C or Kr release, get some gear and you'll see all, yes i said ALL class perform well in good hands and in perfect conditions.

So yes in small areas where no one can get away Templars rock and destroy but if you want to flee or kite them to death in flying mode it's gonna be easier. (and i play a 44 templar on a Chinese server)

Of course, it's all about 1 vs 1, not something easy to get nowadays.

Just to point out KnightOfMine. You are saying Templar FTW, but your sig is a pic of a Gladiator. Just thought that was funny.

If you meant this about my post then I'd just like to say this was ingame and there was flying. The sorc was flying/kiting but as soon as he got pulled to the templar he died. The rest not so much because glads are melee also so it was head to head. The templar used his heal and prly some other defense stuff and then killed both the glads. He ended with about 25% hp.
Templars are a powerful class, but in mass pvp games the healers and the tanks need to be a little more powerful so they arent useless imo. Templars can be beat, especially when their cooldown skills are down, but generaly equal gear and skill the templar comes out on top. Clerics beat templars in 1.1 but I know they get nerfed a bit so I'm not sure how they stack up in 1.2

The tournaments actually make the glad look pretty good since no one can get away. =)

No it's a general comment concerning all those whine threads about the Chosun tournament and the "[insert class] is OP i've seen it in this video" :>.
