New templar questions

[ShinGoku]

Heya guys, I finally decided to roll a healer toon and here I am!!I'm really liking my templar (just hit lvl 10) but I'm having a major problem learning my toon I guess:How do you make your concentration better so you get interupted less?  The reason I ask is that even when fighting lower leved things they still interupt me!  I try to debuff em as best I can (sign of pacification and scorn) but cant get it to work right!Any suggestions to what I can do to improve my toons casting ability?P.s.  I have [Removed for Content] my toon and he holds a buckler for protection etc, does agility make any difference to my ability to cast?Thanks in advanceBowiey Stardust <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

Focus reduces your chances of being interrupted. <div></div>

lol aye, but how do I increase my focus!! <span>:smileywink:</span><div></div>

[Quijonsith]

getting hit while trying to cast will trigger skill-ups of focus.  besides that, at lower levels i'm not even sure if there's gear with +focus.  Substantial amounts of interrupts are something we templars (and likely inquisitors too) have to put with when it comes to fighting groups of mobs.  Hopefully one day this will be addressed satisfactorily.<div></div>

In short, spend some time soloing. Getting hit while casting is the only way to increase your focus so if you are determined to raise that skill then find something you can fight for a while without dieing, or kill mass numbers of greens (they will hit you less so there are diminishing returns).And yea, call it focus because concentration is something else (see the yellow bar up by your health and mana?); and before you come back to ask how that gets raised, it doesn't - it's there to limit the number of maintained buffs you have up. It forces you to make strategic decisions.Hope that helps =)<div></div>

Even with maxed focus you will get interrupted a hell lot of the time - just get used to repeat click your buttons until you get one through - rinse and repeat. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
