Summary
The Templar is the game's tank: sword and shield, with Provoke, Shield Bash and Shield Assault to hold aggro and Shield of Warding, Seal of Protection and Comrade's Protection to cover the group. Punishment, Judgement and Annihilation give it enough damage to level alone. Its stigmas revolve around shields (Shield of Doom, Double Armor, Nezekan's Shield) and the Executioner's Sword finisher.
