The Templar class in The Elder Scrolls Online is widely regarded as having the best combination of Tank and Healing-oriented spells in its toolkit among the game's six classes. Templars are good at dishing out damage, too, but where they really shine is in being able to keep their allies alive through damaging-and-buffing hybrid abilities.

Though Templars tend towards the Heavy and Light armor sets available in The Elder Scrolls Online, some Medium armor sets also confer good bonuses that the class can take advantage of. The most useful armor set abilities for Templars tend to focus on the class' Tanking and Support potential, whereas Medium Armor tends to be all about DPS.

The Medusa armor set is an extremely useful set for Templars who spend most of their time upfront, dishing out blows as often as they receive them. With two, three, and four pieces of the set equipped the player gains 657 Spell Critical with each progression, and with five items the Templar gains a further 892 Spell Critical. Additionally, with a full set of five, the player gains the Minor Force buff at all times, increasing damage dealt with critical hits by 10%.

Though it doesn't necessarily play fully into a Tank or Support build, the Spell Critical increase makes it very useful for hybrid Templar builds. The Spell Critical increase makes healing and ally buff spells crit more often, and the Minor Force buff can help keep up a DPS onslaught on the side.

Look for the Medusa set in the Arx Corinium dungeon in Shadowfen, where pieces drop from the dungeon's various bosses and minibosses.

The Sentinel of Rkugamz armor set is a monster set that can only be found through the Undaunted questline and associated areas. It is split into two pieces, a Helmet, and a Shoulder piece. With one piece of the set equipped the player is given a 4% bonus to Healing Done, and with two pieces equipped every healing ability will spawn a Dwemer Spider that heals and restores resources for 8 seconds.

In terms of playing Support as a Templar, there are few armor sets more useful than this. The Templar has plenty of ways to heal and buff allies, but can find it hard to heal in an area, unlike say the Warden class. The Sentinel of Rkguamz set is, unfortunately, not very useful if the Templar is not specced specifically as a Support.

The Helmet of this armor set can be found from the final boss of Veteran mode Darkshade Caverns, while the Shoulder piece is found in Mal al-Ragath's chest with the Undaunted.

The Brands of Imperium armor set is a fantastic Tanking-oriented armor set with bonuses to health, healing, and a party-wide shield ability. With two and three pieces equipped the set confers 1206 Max Health to the player each, and with four pieces it increases the player's Healing Received by 4%. With five pieces equipped, though, it grants an incredibly powerful shield to the player and all allies in an area around the player for six seconds, an effect that triggers every 12 seconds.

Some encounters can be tough to Tank, whether through DPS mismanagement or a mistake like pulling too much of a room. When the encounter would usually seem impassable, though, this set keeps allies alive and lets the Tank Templer keep taking blows in their stead.

The Brands of Imperium armor set is found in the White-Gold Tower dungeon within the Imperial City, where it drops from the dungeon's bosses and minibosses alike.

The Earthgore set is, like the Sentinel of Rkguamz set, a monster set only acquirable through the Undaunted made up of two pieces: a Helmet and a Shoulder piece. With one piece equipped the set gives a 4% bonus to Healing Done, while with two pieces equipped the Templar gains a special ability when healing targets under 50% health. A pool of blood will spawn beneath these ally targets and heal the lowest-health ally within its area for 10219 over 10 seconds.

It's an incredibly useful armor set for Support Templars, as the amount healed is on-par with fully-upgraded class skill and Restoration Staff skills – although the healing is over time, not instantaneous. Nevertheless, it's a must-have for players in the Support role, not just for Templars.

The Helmet of this armor set drops from the final boss of Bloodroot Forge on Veteran mode, while the Shoulder piece is found in Urgalag Chief-Bane's chest by using an Undaunted key.

The Hunding's Rage armor set is a craftable armor set that gives a variety of Stamina-based stat enhancements to the Templar. At two and four items equipped the player received 657 Weapon Critical, boosting critical hit chance, while at three items equipped the set gives 1096 Max Stamina. At five pieces equipped, it grants a flat 300 Weapon Damage bonus to the player.

Craftable sets in The Elder Scrolls Online are, for the most part, made up of passive bonuses rather than active ones — there's no chance involved in getting a bonus to Weapon Damage. The set is put to best use by DPS-oriented Dragonknights, though Tanking Dragonknights can give the set a try if they trust their Support enough.

The Hunding's Rage set can be crafted at the Broken Arch in Reaper's March, the Trollslayer Gulley in The Rift, or the Wether's Cleft in Bangkorai.
