A Templar's PvP preset on Vakron and Aulamus: Doom Shield in, Executing Blade on the knockdown, a Punishment that ignores block and always crits, and Status Effect Resist on every armour piece.

A Templar doesn't win a PvP fight by out-damaging anyone. You win it by getting to the one person who matters and not letting go. Everything you have works at 4 metres, so the whole preset is about two things: closing the gap (Doom Shield, Shield Rush, Poach) and keeping them there long enough for Executing Blade and a full Punishment to land.

This is a second skill preset, not a second set of gear. Each preset remembers its own skill and stigma levels, so the PvE build stays exactly as it is. The gear is the Vakron and Aulamus you already tank in, rerolled for players and fitted with Abyssal manastones.

What changes when you switch preset

Flash Rampage goes. It only hits a staggered target, and players can't be staggered. Its points go into Survival Willpower, which is the passive that decides how long you stay stunned. Then a handful of picks swap from damage to staying alive, because in PvP the Templar who is still standing after the first burst is usually the one who wins.

Skill	Level	Picks in this preset
Punishment	18	Ignores block and evasion and always crits, and heals you for 10% of the damage
Judgment	18	Extra damage and no cooldown, the same engine as in PvE
Poach	14	Follows a target that has used its break, and cuts its Status Effect Resist by 20% for 5 seconds
Debilitating Smash	15	Their healing drops by 60% while Debilitate is on, and the hit can't be blocked or dodged
Annihilate	15	Back 10 seconds sooner, and 20% more likely to knock them down again
Shield Smite	16	Stuns for a second longer and comes back two seconds sooner

A fight from the first second

Doom Shield
From up to 20 m. A 75% knockdown on a player, a small shield on you, and Judgment switched on. The point is to make them spend their break on this, not on what comes next.
Annihilate
The moment the knockdown lands. Doom Shield resets its cooldown, so it is ready. If they already broke free, skip it and go straight to the next step.
Poach, then Shield Smite
Once their break is gone. Poach pulls them in front of you and roots them, Shield Smite stuns them for four seconds and lights Judgment again.
Executing Blade, then a full Punishment
While they're stunned or on the floor. Executing Blade cuts their defence by 30% and leaves them Exposed, far easier to hit; the charged Punishment can't be blocked, can't be dodged and always crits.
Hold the two lines
Basic attack held down, the Judgment line and the Annihilate line doing the rest, Warding Strike coming up on its own every 25 seconds.

Your four stigmas

Stigma	Level	What it does for you
Doom Shield	10	Gap closer and knockdown, resets Annihilate, +200 block for 5 seconds; every 30 seconds
Executing Blade	15	Every 30 seconds instead of 45; Exposed on everyone it hits, and it always crits
Second Skin	10	+15% PvP Damage Tolerance for 14.5 seconds, plus 20% more block; it's a buff, so shield breakers can't touch it
Noble Armor	10	More max HP for two minutes on a two-minute cooldown, so it never drops, and nobody can dispel it

That is 80 stigma points, which a Templar who has been doing their weekly content has long since collected. Executing Blade is the one to push first: at 15 it has its shorter cooldown, its Exposed and its guaranteed crit all at once.

Where the big levels come from

What the gear is rolled for

Piece	Lines	Manastones
Sword · Aulamus Longsword +14	Status Effect Chance, Accuracy, Weapon Damage Boost, Combat Speed	PvP Attack ×2, PvP Critical Hit, PvP Accuracy
Guard · Vakron Guard +10	Status Effect Chance, Accuracy, Block, HP	As the sword
Armour · Vakron Helm set +10	Status Effect Resist on all seven, HP on most, Block or Critical Hit Resist, and a survival passive	PvP Defense, PvP Critical Hit Resist, PvP Accuracy, HP
Earrings and necklace · Aulamus Earrings +10	Accuracy, HP, Block or Combat Speed, and a passive	As the armour
Rings · Aulamus Ring +10	Accuracy, HP, Judgment, Punishment	As the armour
Amulet · Fierce Battle Amulet +5	Fixed: 15% PvP damage	—

Accuracy comes before everything else on the jewellery. A Templar that misses Shield Smite has no fight left, and players carry far more evasion than any monster. Status Effect Chance on the sword and guard is what makes your stuns and knockdowns stick through their resistance.

Passives

Survival Willpower reaches 18 here: more Status Effect Resist all the time, a little more every time you're hit while stunned, and a short burst of PvP Damage Tolerance once a minute when a stun lands on you. Ironclad Defense sits at 17 and Enhance Health at 18, the other two passives that matter more against players than they ever did against a boss.

What breaks your combo

They use	What happens	Your answer
Gladiator Tenaciousness, Cleric Salvation, Sorcerer Hibernation	Three seconds (Hibernation five) immune to damage and control	Wait it out; don't throw Doom Shield or Punishment into it
Gladiator Blade Toss	Breaks shields and cuts your healing	Second Skin is a buff, not a shield, so it stays
Assassin Spiral Slice, Spiritmaster Seize Magic	Strip your buffs	Noble Armor can't be stripped; Second Skin can, so use it after their dispel
Sorcerer and Ranger keeping their distance	You can't reach them	Poach first, Doom Shield only after their jump

Azphel

The PvP board opens at 45 and runs on its own crystals, 36 from Ereshkigal's Monolith and 110 from the Abyss Shop over the season, so it takes nothing from your other four boards. This preset holds its first 23 nodes: PvP Attack, PvP Defense, PvP Accuracy and PvP crit, HP, the first PvP Damage Boost node and two Status Effect Resist nodes. None of it works against monsters, which is why the PvE build leaves it dark.

Swaps to carry in your bag

Where to go from here

Doom Shield to 15, then 20
It resets on a kill at 15, and at 20 its knockdown always lands on a player.
The rest of Azphel
Every core node first, then the Status Effect Resist nodes.
