Ideal Character Race & Faction:

Yes, it is true, some Character Races and Factions seem to excel better with the class training then others. What this means is that certain character races and Factions will receive a race and/or faction bonus that goes towards gaining trait exp.

The ideal Race for the Dark Templar Class are:

Pict (+4 Vitality, +1 Templar Trait)

Tribal Himalian (+8 Survival, +1 Templar Trait)

The ideal Faction for the Dark Templar Class are:

Cold Embrace: +1 Templar Trait

However, you do not have to be one of these races or faction to be a Dark Templar, you can be any you wish.

Dark Templars specialties include:

Wield unholy magic to empower your attacks,

Focus on tanking or dealing damage,

Can drain their opponents' life to replenish their own and their allies'.

Dark Templar Class Traits:

The class traits system allows you to customise your build to match your fighting style.
For the Dark Templar Class, the following traits are recommended:
Level 10 Templar

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Templar = 1.5% Lifesteal and damage reflected on attackers per level = You need to use one-handed weapon +shield to level it.

Level 5 Ranger

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Ranger = 4% Increased ranged damage per level = You need to use a ranged weaponry to level it.

Level 5 Shaman

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Shaman = 2% Decreased mana cost per level = You need to cleanse debuffs or have less than 25% mana to level it.

Level 5 Barbarian

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Barbarian = 5% Increased one-handed damage per level = You need to use one-handed weapons to level it.

Level 5 Demonologist

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Demonologist = 15% Sorcery Damage per level = You need to deal damage with sorcery to level it.

Level 5 Guardian

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Guardian = 1% Bonus damage prevented & 2% base damage taken returned as health per level = You need to take damage while wearing heavy armour to level it.

You can only earn 35 trait points, in total. So it is recommended that you lock the following trait lines, so you don't start accidently leveling them up:

Necromancer, Conqueror, Priest, Herald.

You can do this by going into your inventory screen, and clicking on the EEWA button/icon on the left of your hotbar. This will open up the EEWA menu screen.
Navigate to the traits section, and click the lock icon next to the traits you wish to lock. This will prevent you from leveling those traits and allow you to only level the ones your class will benefit from.
This is something only you are be able to do. If you chose not to lock any traits, you risk not earning enough exp to get the most out of the Dark Templar Class.

Dark Templar Attribute Points:

As your class level increases, you will be rewarded with extra attribute points in the areas that will be of the most benefit to you and your class training.

However, to get the most out of your Dark Templar training, I recommend that when you are allocating your naturally earnt attribute points, that you aim for a minimum of:

50+ Vitality, 50+ Accuracy, 30+Agility, 30+ Strength.

By putting your points in these areas before the others, you will increase your stats faster, and higher then what you could as a default character with default attributes.
