Greetings everyone,
This is probably my favorite build that I have come up with so far. The idea behind this build was to create a highly versatile fighter capable of medium to long range damage dealing, along with substantial survivability. The build uses both Bow and 1H+Shield and full Medium armor, giving the character a very "celtic warrior" feeling to it. It is primarily an AvA build, so some skill swapping may be needed to sustain dps in PVE situations.
The major flaw of this build is resource management. Templar does not offer any sort of magicka regen, so this may be a problem.
As always, your feedback is appreciated!
Race: Bosmer
Base class: Templar
Armor: Medium 7/7
Mundus Stone: The Shadow - increases critical damage
Stat Selection: 20 Magicka/9 Health/20 Stamina
Bar 1 - Bow
Slot 1-1: Poison Arrow > Venom Arrow
Slot 1-2: Piercing Javelin > Binding Javelin
Slot 1-3: Sun Fire > Vampire's Bane
Slot 1-4: Arrow Spray > Bombard
Slot 1-5: Volley > Scorched Earth
Slot 1-U: Nova > Solar Disturbance
Key points: This bar can be used for either PVE or AvA DPS. It provides single-target and AOE DPS options at any range, as well as ranged knockback and snare. Scorched Earth does AOE fire damage over time. Solar Disturbance snares all enemies in the area, deals damage and lower's all target's damage output.
Bar 2 - 1H/Shield
Slot 2-1: Puncturing Strikes > Biting Jabs
Slot 2-2: Low Slash > Deep Slash
Slot 2-3: Power Bash > Power Slam
Slot 2-4: Rushed Ceremony > Honor the Dead
Slot 2-5: Restoring Aura > Radiant Aura
Slot 2-U: Radial Sweep > Crescent Sweep
Key points: This bar serves two purposes, to keep the warden alive and to provide group support. Bitiing Jabs can finish off low health targets quickly. Deep Slash lowers the damage done by targets. Power Slam disorients targets for a long duration. Rushed ceremony is for emergency heals. Radiant Aura increases health and stamina regen both passively and actively. Lastly, Crescent Sweep deals high AOE damage to nearby targets.
These abilities, along with the passive bonuses to blocking from the 1h+shield skill line, will make the Warden very hard to kill in one-on-one combat.

Aedric Spear: All Passives (8 points)
Dawn's Wrath: All Passives (8 points)

Note: The skill calculator links don't include the racial skills. For some reason ESOhead doesn't save them.
