In each of those discussions, multiple claims were made (typically by Timaarit or Bigmak, among others) that Templars were actually lesser healers than Furies.  This leads to more perception that Templars are a weak class.  We're not.  However, the perception is out there and it's affecting players.

I know I am wasting breathe on you, but this post is aimed at a wider audience of course.

You can indeed quote me all these forums over giving the same message; I am, indeed, highly consistent in this regard.

The highlighted text says it all. You still ignore all of the posts from hundreds of people, all of the data, observations and comments, and INSIST that because you in your protected guild groups are 'alright', that the rest of us have no cause for concern.

You remain, as you have always been, fundamentally and totally wrong in this regard.

It is not mere 'perception' that Templar is a weak class, it is a FACT that we are a weak class, and that includes me, you and every other Templar player, and non-Templar players are realizing it too.

Yes, in the right sorts of raids and hardcore guild groups, this class can hold its own, noone has ever said otherwise, but I am not talking about those circumstances, indeed, I naturally focus on the arena/playstyle that I play in myself - soloing, duoing, small groups, and full groups on normal content, in more casual (some would say "easy") settings. And in those circumstances (circumstances YOU do not play in, do not respect and and downright ignore), we are so relatively weak compared to other priest classes, that we feel like a burden on our friends, and this was not true prior to LU13.

Templar *is* relatively broken right now. Hundreds of us can see it, and there is an excess of evidence for it on these forums, and that's why so many are abandoning the class, across many guilds, on every server. They don't leave due to a few messages on some forum that most players never read. They leave because they see their Warden and Fury friends doing everything they can AND doing a lot more damage and bringing a lot more utility to their groups.
