Learn about how you can create a one-bar solo Templar build using subclassing in Elder Scrolls Online to breeze through regular content.
One-bar PvE Build for Update 46 (Image via Bethesda Softworks)
This Templar build utilizes subclassing to create a powerful combination of synergizing abilities that can surmount veteran dungeons, world bosses, and even some trial bosses with ease. What adds to the build’s appeal further is its simplicity, with only one bar of skills to use in straightforward rotation. The build can serve as a base to build on if you are playing with a team or facing a particularly difficult boss.

Subclassing
Aedric Spear, the best soloing Templar skill line, is complemented perfectly by the boatload of damage brought to bear by Merciless Resolve and Soul Harvest Assassination skills. The primary reason behind using Animal Companions is the Deep Fissure debuffing skill, dealing magic damag,e which is increased by the War Maiden set.

Primary:
Fetcher Infection
Deep Fissure
Radiant Ward
Puncturing Sweep
Merciless Resolve
Soul Harvest (Ultimate)
One bar spell rotation:
Deep Fissure > Fetcher Infection > Puncturing Sweep > Light Attacks > Soul Harvest > Merciless Resolve spectral arrow
Start off the encounter by dealing consistent area damage and applying Major and Minor Breach to damaged enemies. Fetcher Infection debuffs the enemy with Minor Vulnerability and Puncturing Sweep is a spammable that slows the targets while providing healing. You have to reapply Fetcher Infection around every nine seconds. Once 10 stacks of Merciless Resolve are available, unleash the spectral arrow after Soul Harvest for massive single-target damage.
