A Paladin type class?

DabbleDabble Member Posts: 1,043
in Age of Conan: Unchained

I haven't checked the fan sites in a while, but I seem to recall a Paladin type class in the game.   Basically a healer/warrior hybrid.  I understand that there was a reduction/combining of classes.  Was this type of class lost?

Thanks in advance for the responses.

    The crusader was combined with the Dark Templar. They call it the dark templar.Why do they need to call it dark is beyond me,The order of the templars was a secretive society of elite soldiers who answered only to the pope.They amassed great power and wealth serving thier own self interests. so imo the name dark templar is like saying wet water.

    Well here is what this site (http://www.conan.ch/conanonline/lore_classes.htm) says about the Dark Templar:

    Dark Templar



    Wearing heavy armor and carrying a shield and blade, the Dark Templar drains the life from enemies while attacking. Like the Crusader, the Dark Templar is able to augment the team with a single aura. While able to transfer life to the team, the Dark Templar suffers for this, although with life draining abilities this is rarely a problem. However, the Dark Templar is susceptible to soul corruption effects more than most other classes because of powers they traffic with.



    Specialties:

    tank, heavy armor (not full plate), one handed edged, aura for one group buff, team life transfer, lifetap

    So I'll assume that they haven't updated the description yet?

    Tarib, the guy who originally ran and kept conan.ch updated has officially been hired by Funcom as a community manager. As such, he's been unable to update his site for quite a while.

    Here's the official class descriptions: http://community.ageofconan.com/conan/frontend/static/classlist/

    They may have not been the best role models in the world, but so what? The fact of the matter is that the Templars were far from evil, and they were a force in maintaining peace, order, and justice in Europe. The fact that justice was rather skewed in that time period is hardly their fault.

    From what I can tell the only thing change in the description is the last sentance which states that this is the only soldier class that has healing spells.

    What I find confusing is when the word Dark is used in these games, it relates to damage, not healing.   In fact, the description states that this class will suffer from using its magic.

    Therefore, am I to understand that the Dark Templar takes damage whilst healing?  Wouldn't that negate the healing?

    The Dark Templar uses a vampiric sort of healing. Either he's siphoning life from enemies to himself, or sacrificing his own health to heal his allies. Also, like most magic users, the Dark Templar will have to worry about the effects of soul corruption.
