subject: Aion Templar Introduction [print this page] With the mighty beginnings of a warrior, Templars are considered as the ultimate tanks of the game, thanks to their high defense rating and HP, further enhanced by a balanced combination of offensive, healing and damage reduction skills.
Role as a Templar
Templars are hardcore frontline fighters whose main role is to protect his party members by taking most, if not all, of the enemies' brunt. Their unrivaled defense rating, HP, healing and protective skills ensure that Templars are one of the toughest and most resilient classes in the game. As tanks, they serve as the party's "meat shield", drawing enemy aggression towards himself while dealing continuous damage in return. This will allow the party's ranged and spellcasting members to safely provide support at a distance and decimate enemies. Templars can also heal themselves and party members; though it won't be a necessary replacement for the healing skills of clerics and chanters, it provides added sense of security knowing that an extra hand can make emergency heals when things get hairy.
In conclusion, Templars are one of the most preferred classes in any party. Their real strengths lie in protecting others; their role and value to any party is simply priceless and not to be simply overlooked at.
