Keep this ratio all the way from 1 – 99 (From levels 51 – 70 add 5 Int 1 Vit odd levels and 4 Int 2 Vit even levels)

Other Skills:
Other skills to consider getting would be:
Incarnation AND Resurrect – From my conversations with people on JP Rohan, this is useful in Town Battles.
Euphoria – Good for soloing
I don’t like the damage / recharge on Marea’s Anger so personally I wouldn’t get it.

Weapons:
Templar is a very expensive class! You will need to maintain several weapons to be effective.

Options: Spear of Roha (Weapon Attack)
Stats (in order of importance): Magic Attack, Int, Vit

Wand:

I also have a Buffing Wand which just has the option which reduces MP required to cast.

Buffing Blunt Mastery (AKA Why Blunt Mastery damage is NOT Bugged)
Many people say that Blunt Mastery doesn’t do as much damage as it should and that it is bugged but from my experiences, it works pretty much the same way that it does on JP Rohan. The trick to getting the most out of your mace is how youbuff . When you cast blunt mastery, it goes off of your CURRENT Magic Attack. Therefore, you should do what you can to get the highest Magic Attack rating. Here is the proper way tobuff Blunt Mastery:

1) Buff Inteligence Blow on yourself
2) Buff Brain Blow on yourself
3) Switch to your Staff
4) Buff Blunt Mastery on yourself
5) Switch back to Mace

Your current Int value also affects how much damage your mace does, so make sure to keep Brain Blow on!
