Templar Class Overview

The Templar Class is an extremely powerful way to play in The Elder Scrolls Online. Templars have powerful Class Skill lines great for DPS, Healing, Tanking and playing Solo. Templars are a great choice for any build due to their many great damage and defensive options.

For a more detailed guide be sure to review our ESO Templar Class Guide located here.

Best Stamina Templar Leveling Sets

First, Spriggan’s Thorns is a fantastic base game set that increases Weapon and Spell Damage, Max Stamina, and Penetration – perfect for dealing more damage and leveling up faster!

Next, the Witchman’s Armor set is a great option for the Stamina Templar class to increase your Stamina sustain and healing, as it generates resources whenever you use your Ultimate ability.

For the final two pieces of gear on this build Armor Of The Trainee is recommended for the extra Health and Magicka.

Stamina Templar Leveling Build Gear Setup

Stamina Templar Leveling Build Attributes

Most of our skills cost Stamina to cast, so putting all of your Attribute Points into the Stamina stat makes the most sense.

Stamina Templar Leveling Build Race

Dark Elf is a great option for any Templar build, allowing you to easily change focus from Stamina to Magicka if needed. For more details on all ESO Races and passive bonuses be sure to check out our Full ESO Race Guide.

Stamina Templar Leveling Build Mundus Stone

The best Mundus Stone for leveling in the Elder Scrolls Online is the Lover Mundus because this increases your Offensive Penetration, allowing all of your skills to do more damage. Offensive Penetration can usually only be obtained through Light Armor Passives and rarely on gear sets, so boosting this stat early through your Mundus Stone will make the biggest impact, helping you kill enemies faster and thus level up faster! Review our complete Mundus Stone guide for more information.

Stamina Templar Leveling Build Food/Drink Buff

Dubious Cameron Throne is the best food or drink buff available when leveling up a Stamina build in ESO because it provides Maximum Stamina which boosts your Damage, Stamina Recovery which helps you sustain your skills and Maximum Health which improves your survivability. This drink scales with your level and can be crafted or purchased from Guild Traders.

Stamina Templar Leveling Build Potions

Basic Stamina Potions are fine for leveling up as a Stamina build in ESO. Keep these on hand to restore your Stamina and increase your Stamina recovery when running low on resources.
