Best time to betray Inq to Templar?

Rick777 · 04-16-2010, 05:47 PM

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.

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.

Thoughts?

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

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.

Just my 2c

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

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.

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.

I'll bet most people will have 5 points left in the Cleric line after going down the Str, Agi, and Int lines. You can put it into Holy Avenger if resists are bothering you that much.

Yes I definitely plan on doing this. I'm about half thru 76 now and have 164 AA or so and am only just starting on the Kunzar timeline so am pretty sure I can hit 200 by the time I finish the ROK and TSO timelines/dungeons.

Every level makes it that much easier, the soloing is going much faster now. I don't regret the betrayal at 70 at all as I wanted to make sure I was well practiced in what a Templar specifically does in a group setting. Have healed several dungeons now and feel very comfortable with him. I just can't wait to get to T8 gear because I'm having a hell of a hard time finding anything with crit on it, I'm only up to 30 or so, and forget about any potency/bonus/ or reuse.
