Well, the temple knight is a Light Elf. If you are a male Light Elf, I feel sorry for you. If you are a Male Light Elf and a Temple Knight well......
They are a bad class, but be prepared for a long slow grind. They are pretty rare, and can take alot of hits, but dont expect to go into a fight and PWNZR people.
I am not saynig it is a bad class, you just wont be the killer when it comes to pvp. As far as lvling, tanks just dont have the damage output to lvl as fast as dd's, its a simple fact.
Are you looking ot be the killer in pvp, if so, go the nuker/archer route. If you prefer to stick to melee, Destroyer or a Dagger of some sort. Thoe are your best chances for buffed PvP killing.
I have NO IDEA what gecklar is talking about, TK's are a fine class, fun, and if you play it right quite fast in lvling. And whats wrong with male LE's? Cept for the fact that they are feminise.
TK is indeed a rare breed in this game, but if you know how to play one the class isn't bad at all. In pvp 1v1 we have a fair chance of winning due to our insane shield def rate, healing cubic <yes, the cubic isn't so bad if you Entangle your victim and kite them while you regen 400 HP a heal>, Root, and Tribunal.
- Skills, what we ain't got-
Yeah, but as you grow up in lvls you start to notice that all Tank classes have alot of skills that you don't Ie Everything a Pally has that is good, Lightning Strike from Sk, Force Stun <well till lvl 77 and it only lasts 2-3 seconds>, a Dark Panther, Horror ... the list goes on ...
- Skills, what we have-
Lvl 60 Shield Aegis= 360 deg. Shield Def - very niice-
Storm Cubic = Saves you about 3-4 normal swings or a crit atk with normal buffs. At 74 My cubic will hit low M-def mobs for 750 dmg ... not to shabby as Add dmg ;D
Life Cubic - A pretentious little [censored] sometimes but sometimes it can save lives. With no dedicated healer in party HP cubic is GOLD. At my lvl 400 Hp Heal is made with no MP Cost and given to the lowest % of HP party member =D The range on this bad boi can accualy span the land of Aden .... I once was in Forest of the dead and healed someone in the Monster Derby Track lol
Holy Aura - not to bad of a skill AOE Shackles undead mobs ^^ but is overshadowed by Pally's AOE root the know world =(
Guard Stance and Shield Fortress - At lower lvls you learn Guard Stance. Their are only 2 situations in which you need to use it .. 1. PVP against high DPS Chars ... you don't win by out DMG them you out Def them with constant Dmg. 2. When you have more than 2 mobs on you ... toggle it till there is one or 2 mobs left .... saves more HP than the MP loss ...
At lvl 64 you learn a skil lcalled Shield Fortress .... it's like a cheap Guard Stance. But not cheap in effect !!! Only in mana conumption ;D This bad boy skill/toggle is amazing. While not increasing P-def it makes your Shield def and Power reduce dmg done to you like Mad ... normal arrow hit with no toggle = 170- 200 .... Shield Fort. 107 -130
High lvl bleed, Poison, and HP regen Magic - We can heal all of our wonds at a cost of MP nuff said ... and at 74 my heal <with Empower> = 624 HP ... and my cubic likes to go with my self heal sometimes and that = 1024 HP healed in Seconds ^.<
- The Grind-
is insane but I didn't make a SE till I hit 62 caus Solo after that is teh sucks ;D I spent alot of my 40-52 in Cruma Tower, but those grps kinda don't exist anymore =( Most of the time you will indeed be soloing unless you have a constant raid party till 52 < note that please don't ONLY raid till 52 caus that makes you a R-**** tank caus the only aggro you know is from RB > or you have a Bd fall in love with your charm ;D <.< >. >
TK BD duo with SE buffs <pref PP to for haste 2 and zerk> is insane +16 !
I have NO IDEA what gecklar is talking about, TK's are a fine class, fun, and if you play it right quite fast in lvling. And whats wrong with male LE's? Cept for the fact that they are feminise .
I think ill play the Temple Knight..it look's like something i love to play..can someone help me on info about armor and dyes? was the best weapond for this class?

Here is what I used =D
- C Grade- Compo Armor and a Storm Bringer .. untill I could afford a Sword of Delusion with HP SA and a FP set.
- B grade- is a toss up ....If you plan on "Tanking" go with Doom heavy set and Art of Battle Axe HP SA. Also you might want to consider using a Sword of Damascus Focus SA ... which IMO is the best PVE Sword caus it is the only Focus Sword till 76 ..... I even use it as my main weapon 90% of the time due the the insane cost of SSA ;D and don't think it dosn't deal a nice amt of dmg.... When I Xp with my BD friend I keep aggro from her +8 Kesh*Kesh caus I am mad crit machine.
-A grade- I've tested all A armor for atleast 3-4 lvls each. Dark Cystal = for some reason they made DC lower P def than all other A Armors but the armor makes up for it with the 18% increase to shield def. 4% increase to heal is not noticable. 50% increase to Para is .... mehhh s ok armor for Parties, Raid Boss, and it is the sexiest of the A armors.
Nightmare PA - This armor is like a crappy version of the Magestic armor IMO Sure the increase to resist sleep and root is very nice and so is the +4% P atk, but the Magestic set is more apealing to the LE life style =D and the NM reflect dmg is teh sucks ...
Magestic PA- This armor is very good for PVE and dealing with Pesky Humans. The +50% Stun resist is gold in Catas with stun mobs, Archers, and Human Tanks. The +3 to Acuracy is very very very niiceee and you still get the same +4% to P atk that you get from NM and both sets give the same P-def .
Tallum PA- I love this set so bad ... the +8% Atk Speed boost is lovely. It's like you Temple Knight is on crack and if you take Tallum off you are jonsen =D The 80% bleed and poison resist is only good in PVP Vs. a DE or Dagger but in PVE nothing is better from 65-75. The +2 Str -2 con is good to.
-My Personal Tat set up-
Tats -2 dext +2 con, +4 str -5 con, +3 wit -3 int and <from Tallum> +2 Str -2 con
=
42 Str 33 Dext and 31 con
This set up with VR and Dances = My def and over powered atk keeps me very very alive while "dmg tanking" a mob. And with HP cubic out it seems like it does alot of healing ;D
I know this is a DD set up but when I put my DC set on with a HP weapon I do just fine ;D <and tks to the Atrox that gave me the DC helm as a drop>
