Moving from a Templar to an Inquisitor?

[Cablejunky]

Heya All! I am a level 70 raid Templar looking for advice moving to an Inquisitor. Last night during the our weekly raid in to Labs, we looted a lot of Inquisitor stuff. After the third or so very nice piece of Inquisitor loot droped, I shouted out "f&*k this, I am betraying!" I was joking, but two guildies took me seriously and said if I were to betray they would help me get some master spells. As for armor It looks like the only piece I would have to replace would be my Plate Helm of Ether, and I have already done the class hat quest (And I have already sold that hat). There is probably no way to do that again, is there? <b>I would assume Wisdom and Intelligence are the 2 primary stats I would use?</b> <b>As for AA lines I went Int/Sta (Faster Cast/Heal Crit) Is this the most optimal way of going?</b> <b>After betraying does your character do a full respec? </b> I would like to play with my resists and I originally took the more mana option over the mana regen option. <b> Will I have a chance to choose master 2 choices again? </b> <b>If so which choices should I take?</b> <b>Being on a limited Plat. budget which would be the first spells to get Masters? Are there any spells under 57 that I would need? </b>As a Templar I stil cast Reverence (52) an Sanctuary (55) I belive if I remember correctly these were both T6 Ancient scrolls.<b> </b> One of my main reasons to switch is there are 2 other Templars in the guild, One is always main group because he was lucky enough to get all his reactives and group buffs at master quality, so I am always relegated to the "back of the bus" (DPS groups, secondary tank group) now I don't mind this, but the problem is that me and the main group Templar often "waste mana" on our single target reactives and (same quality), now due apparent lack of Inquisitors on BB I really have never grouped with a 70 Inquisitor (eq2census.com shows like 40, level 70's, there are at least 3 times the level 70 Templars on BB) or have seen one in action, or talked with one... I do not know what spells would overwrite a Templars. I am also a level 56 Weaponsmith, I assume this will not change. I also assume I should strip my bank/vault/room clean of my collections, for sale and status items? Will my bank be accsesable after I betray? So if I store my house Items in my bank while I am betraying will they be there when I become a citizen of freeport? I probably have somewhere in the range of 300+ items in my house and on the broker atm. Is there any walk through on the Betrayal Quests? Is it a long quest, I know my guild is going to need me during raids so If I do this I am going to have to do this in less than one day. I know this is a lot to ask, thank you in advance! ~ Grump<div></div>

Wow, really glad someone started this post. I'm considering betraying my level 70 DE Templar back to an Inq. Recently I've been trying to push my melee DPS higher and higher, and this seems to be a good option.One additional question I had: does anyone know if betraying break the Claymore quest line in any way?<div></div>

[ericshaitan]

Ya'll Drunk?  No one actually "wants" be be and inquisitor.   Just remeber this, the grass is always greener.  I have played both templar and inquisitor and they are almost exactly the same.  I would recommend staying a templar. <div></div>

[Cablejunky]

Well my guild tag edited by one of our officers does read:"Am I drunk or [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]? Your guess is as good as mine!"But seriously, I do want to become an Inquisitor. We have way too many Templars in our guild and all that shiny Inquisitor loot is going to rot.<div></div>

[Cablejunky]

I am hardly, if ever in MT group, like I said I am "the back of the bus" guy <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> (DPS groups, or Secondary Tank group) <div></div>

Our single target reactives still overwrite one another just as if its 2 Templars casting. Our group reactives will fire serially. Our buffs don't stack fully but parts of them do. For example, our single target HP buff a person will get the HP benefit from one spell and the +Mit and the +dps from both.For your Betrayal questions I would ask someone directly in tells who has converted.</div>

<DIV> <DIV>Hey Grump,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just wanted to chime in. It looks like Graxnip answered most of your questions well. The only thing I would add is about your spells. Heresy (52) and Fervent Focus (55) are the two <57 spells that dont get replaced. Also the INQ is a great class to play. They have and do things that TMPs just can't. And vice versa. Neither is better. I enjoy playing an INQ cause they are more uncommon generally and add alot of things that are unique. The buffs are similiar to a TMP except a few that make the TMP just better for MT grp. The INQ adds more to a DPS group.  The TMP as I understand it looking at spell charts etc. has more potential raw healing power than an INQ, but like i said neither is better: add the fact among other things that an INQ has a power proc'ing buff makes them last much longer in extended fights, all other things being completely equal, its not about who is better, its about having special abilities that no other class can put together. I'm beating a dead horse here, and ppl will argue till the world ends and beyond that about who or what is better. Take a class, enjoy it, and kick some [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] with it. In some cases a TMP would blow the INQ out of the water, and in some the INQ would kick a TMP's [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn].  Hey, a good player is so important too. I would take a well played TMP over a INQ with a [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] behind the wheel any day of the week ( and vice versa <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )  Given the fact that you don't have any INQ's in your guild i would really go for it.  Alot of people will thank you later <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> My favorite part about being the only class in my guild is I get ALL the masters for that class post 57 LOL. It makes it easy when ur whole guild is helping you stay equipped just like you are them.  There are alot of things I could tell you about the INQ that I think you would like. But it's a complex class to play, it would take pages, as would most other classes. I think you should just check it out. I can promise you one thing, you WILL NOT be dissapointed <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Madrael "Hawt Chick" Ankhti</DIV></DIV>

<P>I shelved my DE templar that I had played almost every day since release a month after LU 13.  She was in her mid 50s, I dusted her off and got her to 60 just prior to being allowed to rebetray back to FP.  All joking aside from my "don't come over here, we prefer to remain a small few" bretherin, there are a few concerns that you should know.  It is somewhat more difficult to heal as an INQ vs a templar.  Where temps had all of the proc debuff heals, heals on a mobs death, etc Inqs don't have any of that, just our direct heals and reactives.  We trade most of that for better debuffs and a motly assortment of random, situational nukes.  That all said, it is not impossible to heal as an inquis, I solo heal most areas just fine.  Being a firm believer in the 'battle cleric' an inquis fits me much better because I can actually lend some, note the some, DPS to the fight as well as keep everyone alive.  Now in response to your questions.</P> <P> </P> <BLOCKQUOTE> <P></P> <HR> <P>Cablejunky wrote:<BR>Heya All!<BR><BR>I am a level 70 raid Templar looking for advice moving to an Inquisitor.

Someone mentioned Convert and I think it's a great idea to get that to a master. True it still only does 200 points of healing but that's an extra 200 points on everything you cast.  Debuffs, buffs, and other heals all get that extra 200 points of healing automatically with a limited use of your power pool. I'd suggest trying to first get masters in your heals but Suffering Penance is very expensive (12-20p on Mistmoore server).  If you respec you can get a Master II of it's lower level equivalent which is equal to  the Adept I of Suffering Penance (I think).  Also, the other freebie spell at 64 is a master of one of your debuffs which will decrease their MIT on all forms of attack by 500+.    Healing and debuffing are the inquistors main roles so stick with those. But, be sure to get at least adepts of most of your DPS spells since those also put on a little extra debuffing.  Finally, if you get those maxed out don't forget about the group buffs which increase DPS of your melee people and the MIT and STA of the group as a whole.   Consecrated Aura gives a HP boost and DPS boost to individuals and the one that steals power from the oppoinent as a person lands hits is best used on a group member who throws a lot of hits. However, it does seem to cause aggro when it's triggered.

Buffs?  so you do 200 more points of healing while waiting to kill the mob?  Unless you want to spam group buffs in the middle of combat I guess for some reason.<div></div>

[jago quicksilver]

this seems to be a pretty hip thing to do these days. I am also betraying over to inquis.and chilling inquest COULD potentially steal aggro, but its very doubtful, if im not mistaken, power gain draws as much aggro as a heal does, so its less than 1 point aggro for every 1 point of the regen, so you would have to be borderline taking aggro already.

[scivias]

<div></div>Being an inquisitor means you are the battle version of a templar. We don't have power issues .. and yeah, while you still might run low on rare occasions .. trust me .. every other healer has gone oom long before.. so it's still no big thing. I couldn't care less about a missing power/wisdom buff.. hell why would I want to be anattempt of a templar clone and give up anything of dps capabilities instead?All in all templar and inquis are basically the same class, just flavoured differently. Templars have some gadgets that gets ppl in mt groups thrilled, and inquis get gadgets that get dps groups freaked. Myself I like the versatility .. I can go dps and reached 950 dps on ascentx2 on trashmobs .. I can heal any groupinstance as the sole healer without any problem whatsoever .. I can switch on convert, enjoying the shear thought that I have some of the strongest, fastest heals in this game .. as cleric I can take some beating, too.Shamans may have the debuffs and buffs, along with wards as a superior method of healing, but they can't do any of my tricks alone, neither can they perform in a raidsituation in their own. Druids may have neat toys like open aes, selfrez or tree-rezzes and a better groupheal.. but again they can't acomplish anything rock solid on their own.An inquisitor is reliable .. you can trust it to do basically every job, in some we excel, in some we are bested by other classes.. an inquisitor is the wrong class for you if you are likely to get envy about other classes .. if it suits you that other classes envy you for one thing or another, you are fine.<div></div>

as for betrayal quests.. when you talk to the dark elf in antonica. clicking one of the bottom options will reveal a bounty quest.. he will give  about 20-25 of these that take you all over cl ant nek ts etc etc killing bounties that will spawn only if you have the quest for betral.  the last of the few are in qeynos and then in that zone in antonica north of stormhold.. in an instance. ogaming has a run through i believe. took my level 10 pally a day to sneak around and get this all done ( bounty mobs scale to your level also so they are easy) granted with the location discos from el and such she was a lvl 13 when it was all done.. but a level 70 should be able to do it in a few hours.

[jago quicksilver]

what i did, is i just kept selecting the middle option, the one that had to do with the different factions in qeynos. i kept denying it until he gave me the one that dealt with the Celestial watch, and i finished all of my faction grinding within about 45 mins.its pretty much running back and forth between a zone off of NQ and the dark elf 12 times.

Oh and if anyone was looking master Convert dropped in pof from a named cyclops <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

The 64 M2 selection should no doubt be Fanatical Healing.<u>Forced Obedience</u> has an increase of +1 from its M1, that sucks and is not worth it at all.<u>Compelled Repentance,</u> another good debuff but definetly not a great one, maybe if your solo it helps out, but the increase from M1 to M2 is just not enough to woo me.<u>Act of Conviction</u> is a great spell for increaseing group DPS but it is not constant, the buff really only works a percentage of the time and that is not worth wasting an M2 on. Honestly the fact SOE makes this one of our selection is like a slap in the face. Why choose a spell to be our best of the T7 line that is not even a constant buff. At least give us one of our Invocation lines a M2 choice, or our heat DoT.<u>Fanatical Healing</u> heals for about 1400 at M2 ( don't know the exact number since im at work) But its our biggest heal and can save somone in a raid or solo situation almost everytime. Not to mention we are healers and having our heals at the top should be our priority. .....Also since I am on the topic, our Reactive spell line gets an M2 choice at each Teir, quite sure T7 is the only time we do not (correct me of im wrong). But my point is its our main heal, it is why we are clerics, no other healing class gets the reactive line. No wards are not reactives so dont say other classes do. The fact is this is our bread and butter and needs to always be the best! So not taking M2 on this when the chance is given is not a smart idea at all. Our buffs and debuffs are good, but thats it, our Reactive is the best we have and should be the best it can be.....Would also like to say our T7 M2 choices are by far the worst selection we have had yet, thanks SOE!<div></div>
