Best time to betray Inq to Templar?

[Rick777]

<p>So I rolled an Iquisitor with the sole purpose of leveling him faster and eventually betraying to a Templar.  I'm not a dps type healer, I'd rather stand my ground and heal the best, then if I have a bit left over I can DPS. Eventual goal is to be a great group healer and raid healer, I completely hate soloing and am only doing it to get to the good stuff in the game.</p><p>I'm wondering when is the best time to switch over to a Templar.  Especially in relation to soloing, which is the main reason I went Inq first.  I'm currently 67 with 130AA's so can max out most of the good melee/spell AA's.  I'm wondering if I should wait a bit more, I was thinking maybe 80 when I get Repent and when I would be starting the epic quest.</p><p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>Unless you have friends willing to grind you up to 90, solo your inq to 90 and betray then.</p>

<p>Meh, it's not that bad.  Since the stat consolodation, Temps aren't as difficult to solo to 90.  I leveled my Inq to 72 and then betrayed, and encountered almost no problems (other than the occasional guildie who wanted a chance to best their guild leader).  Since then (about a week ago), I've mostly soloed my way through the questlines in Kunark and SF.  I'm 85 now.  I haven't had many problems at all and I'm honestly surprised at the DPS I can do, even as a Temp.</p><p>Just my 2c</p>

Its not that bad, but still slower and more annoying than playing an inquisitor.

<p>Well I betrayed at 70 and at first it was bad, but after I got to 72 and got a set of MC armor/weapons it was much better.  I'm halfway thur 74 now and if the mob is blue or white it dies just a tad slower than on my inq, but if it's yellow or orange it's noticeably slower.  One thing I notice greatly is power, the inq used to go thru power like no tomorrow, even with points into fanaticism, etc.  The Templar can actually chain pull mobs for quite a long time before he starts to get low.</p><p>The main thing that stinks though is resists.  Seems my DD spells get resisted a ton, certainly more than my inq CA's got parried/blocked/missed.  It seems pretty uneven IMO.</p>
