Easily one of the most powerful classes in Dragon Age Inquisition, the Templar can both tank, and deal large amounts of damage to enemies, especially demons! No other class overpowers the demonic waves of Rifts like a Templar. Even as a Sword and Shield tank, the Templar still draws from it’s specialization skills that really know how to bring the pain!

This guide focuses on how to build your class using a combination of standard skills from the Vanguard, Battlemaster, Weapon and Shield skill trees, and new active and passives from the Templar specialization.

With about 15-20 points to place, you can put together a very powerful Templar that has everything it needs to dominate on the battlefield.

In Weapon and Shield, take Shield Wall / Payback Strike (unused) / Turn the Bolt / Warrior’s Resolve / Shield Bash / Turn the Blade

In Battlemaster, take Grappling Chain

In Vanguard, take Warcry

In Templar, take everything including upgrades. Be warned, you will be overpowered. For a little more challenge and less faceroll, consider not upgrading the abilities here.

Basic opener – Warcry, Wrath of Heaven, followed by Spell Purge. This will stun the enemies, and then combo, dealing massive amounts of damage to ANY TYPE OF ENEMIES! If anything is still alive, use Blessed Blades, throw in a Shield Bash and some basic attacks, and thanks to the rapid cooldown with Blessed Blades, you’re probably ready to combo Wrath of Heaven with Spell Purge.

When faced against large enemies like Sledge Hammer guys, Pride Demons or Dragons, that Shield Wall is definitely going to come in handy. Shield Wall is also good for deflecting projectiles. Each block also adds to generate Guard.

If using for AI, remember to set the Behavior settings to Follow Cassandra

Set Warcry, Wrath of Heaven, Blessed Blades, and Spell Purge to Preferred. Disable Grappling Hook for enemies such as dragon fights, since it won’t work on them.

Dragon Age Inquisition is one of the most popular role-playing games of recent years, offering players a vast world to explore and a deep, immersive story to uncover. One of the key components of the game is building and customizing your character’s class, and one popular option is the Sword and Shield Templar Tank.

The Templar Tank is a formidable warrior who specializes in protecting their allies and absorbing damage in combat. With their sturdy shield and trusty sword, they are able to withstand even the toughest opponents and provide valuable support to their team.

When building a Sword and Shield Templar Tank in Dragon Age Inquisition, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First and foremost, you will want to focus on abilities and talents that enhance your survivability and ability to draw aggro from enemies. This includes skills like Shield Wall, Turn the Blade, and Adamant.

In addition to defensive abilities, it’s also important to invest in skills that will help you control the battlefield and support your allies. This can include abilities like War Cry, Blessed Blades, and Spell Purge.

When it comes to gear, you will want to prioritize items that increase your defense and health, as well as those that provide bonuses to your tanking abilities. Look for armor with high armor rating and accessories that boost your guard generation or stamina regeneration.

In combat, your main goal as a Sword and Shield Templar Tank will be to keep enemies focused on you and away from your more vulnerable teammates. Position yourself in the front line of battle and use your shield to block incoming attacks while dishing out damage with your sword. Keep an eye on your health and use defensive abilities as needed to stay alive.

Overall, the Sword and Shield Templar Tank is a powerful and versatile class build in Dragon Age Inquisition that can make a valuable contribution to any party. By focusing on defense, support, and battlefield control, you can create a formidable tank that will help lead your team to victory in the game’s epic battles.
