Last Build Update: January 24, 2025 – Update 44
The Magicka Templar class in The Elder Scrolls Online is an interesting choice for PvP, as the class is not the most powerful at the time of writing this article, but its tankiness and survivability still make it a very good option for players that are either new to PvP, or want to stay alive for a long time while dealing ample damage. This article contains two builds that are going to be good in all PvP situations.
