I experimented with beaming more and mostly dropping Cloak, Trap and Ritual after 40%, but I would run out of Mag so I had to swap to the Radiant Glory morph lol. I would try to only use Cloak or Trap if I need to barswap while PotL is still ticking. It seems to work well. I'm not sure if it's equal if not better than keeping up the DoTs tho.

I didn't test a lot of builds so I'm not really sure what's technically BiS, but I really like this setup. I know the bow/bow plar hits harder, but I like my Jabs lol. I also didn't crit farm for very long (30-40 minutes) so this setup could maybe hit higher? Though this parse did have some decent beam crits.

What's new in Update 41:
- Status effects got changed quite a bit in Update 41
- Poisoned and Burning (from enchants alone) are about the same if not slightly less dps (~1K)
- Hemorrhaging is down 3-4K (due to Trap's Bleed chance nerf) unless you invest in a lot of Bleed attacks
- Direct Damage status effects like Sundered now do ~105% more damage. Sundered now also gives 100 Weapon/Spell damage. This is pretty nice with PotL's guaranteed sundered change.

Why Nirn/Precise?
- TLDR: I think it depends on the build, but I found Nirn/Precise to be slightly better for this setup. Nirn/Charged gives roughly the same results.
- Long answer: Charged/Charged is probably going to be the new Single Target meta for many classes. For the Templar and Arcanist (with Beam) though, I'm not so sure. I'm unable to test Arc since I don't own Necrom on PC, but for Templar I found Nirn/Precise or Nirn/Charged to be better, at least for this setup, probably because we get guaranteed Burning and Sundered from Zaan and PotL, respectively. Charged/Charged could be better if we didn't have Zaan.

- - - ❓️What options do I have for raid setups? ❓️ - - -

For "full damage" Stamplars in raids, you'll typically want to use Relequen, but sometimes you can get away with Coral Riptide, especially in vAS and vCR if the fight is fast (less than 3 minutes).

Deadly Strike is the most commonly paired set, but Aegis Caller, Advancing Yokeda (aka Berserking Warrior), or Pillar of Nirn are also good. Tzogvin and Sul-Xan's Torment are also great sets but pretty niche.

Velothi mythic amulet has been standard for a while now on templars, but Mora's Whispers is also pretty good.

A typical setup I see in high-end teams nowadays is:
5x Relequen (body)
5x Deadly Strike (front bar)
2x Master's Bow backbar (or VMA Greatsword, or VMA Inferno)
1x Velothi
1x Slimecraw

On PC, you can run bow/bow for most bosses, but on console it's usually better to stay in Dual Wield so you can Whirling Blades in add pulls.
