Spent about an hour crit farming this setup. Had a couple other 161s.

I wanted to try a Templar build that mostly keeps the Templar identity but with a bit of subclassing. So, like a lot of people, I stuck with Aedric Spear and Dawn's Wrath. For the third line, in terms of meta, we basically only have 2 choices lol: Arc's "Herald of the Tome" or Nightblade's "Assassination". Assassination is a little better overall, so I went with that.

As usual, I used ult pots here, but Weapon pots should be fine (with Heroism on banner) since this build isn't as mag-intensive as the more hard-hitting Arc/Blade builds. You may or may not need Spell pots in exe to sustain Radiant though, if you do go with Weapon pots.

Like many of the other meta builds, Tide-born would be very good here too; only a couple K behind Highland for direct-damage-intensive builds.

I also recommend checking out @skinnycheeks's "Burning Light" Templar build which seems to perform slightly better than this one but with DK's Ardent Flame instead of Dawn's Wrath. (skinnycheeks.gg/burning-light)

⚠️ Opener ⚠️
Optional: if using ult pots, prebuff Vamp Bane on another dummy to start the parse with Major Savagery/Prophecy. You can also prebuff Trap on another dummy to start with Minor Force.

Prebuff: cast Solar Barrage at a distance, wait until Barrage hits 19-20 secs remaining, then walk forward (without Light Attacking) Shooting Star - Trap

Opener: (start Light Attacking now) Stampede - Power of the Light - Merciless Resolve proc - Vamp Bane - Jabs spam

⚠️ % Thresholds For Dummy ⚠️
- At 26% start using Radiant Glory instead of Jabs; reapply Trap and Vamp Bane one last time if they're about to run out
- At ~20% cast Solar Barrage one last time; stop casting Merciless Resolve and Power of the Light unless you need them to barswap
- At ~15% cast Stampede one last time if there's less than 5 secs on it
- Under 15% spam Radiant Glory and use Incap if it's up

⚠️ Note for execute ⚠️
Technically, if you want to potentially squeeze another ~1K, swapping to Spell Power Pots from Ult Pots in exe is a little more ideal so you don't need to cast Vamp Bane in exe, but I was too lazy to spend time waiting for the pot cooldown before every parse and just did parses back-to-back.

If you want to try it, I believe the optimal pot timing when you're hitting 150K+ is starting the parse either with the pot ready, or roughly 5s until it's ready (i.e. 0-5s left on cooldown), which is ironically the pot timing I started with for this parse.
