So....anybody try the str line?

Just curious if the str line debuff and the end of the line interupt/stifle immune is worth it.

It seems it would be nice to be immune to stifles and interupts.

Godly for PvP. (Steadfast, Extra HP, Bolt of Power) Quite good for the solo templar, or pick-up-group templar. For the raider? No - not worth it (unless you typically have adds beating on you) with so many better choices (Agi, and your choice of int or Sta)

Depends on what role you fill in the raid. I am never the MT templar, I am in fact the mage group templar. For me the STR/INT line combo ROCKS. For instance being immune to interupts on Avatar fights or hell just most EoF mobs that do AoE stuns, you keep casting your spell you were casting even when you get hit. So if you were casting a group reactive/heal/cure it still goes off. This has saved me now quite a bit. Also the extra health+focus has made a bit of a difference. The biggest thing I wanted from this line though was the spell proc, with blessings on and 8 points in it its at 50%. Combine that with the Smite Wrath line, a troub, and a warlock with propagations and I pull 900-1600 dps AND keep my lil squishies alive.

I'm not specc'd with it at the moment, but I loved it as well, and quite likely will go back to it at some point.

It may not be the best choice for a raider, but for my group/small group/solo play its great. Especially when you pull aggro, or the tank dies and the mobs come for you... you can make sure you're able to get your heals fired off without interruption, it can prevent a wipe. Plus the added focus in the line make the focus penalty when using yaulp negligible or nonexistant (depending on focus gear and how many points you put into it).
