Why did I get a bunch of attribute points and skill points after the update?

>>144849669
nah, the short duration doesn't bother me actually
I never got used to the longer version
also when I got bursted by a vet sorc a few times in a row I realised that I have lots of magicka and some instant cast abilities to spend it on - it's fun using a shitload of spells in a few secs and see enemies wondering where they hp has gone :^)

>>144854431
With the removal of veteran rank and 16 veteran levels, level 50 being the max level now, they decided to spread out the stats and skillpoints so you get them from level 1 to 50 instead, 2 points every 5th level and 3 points every 10th level.

>>144852790
Redguard.

Or Khajiit for the Crit %, if you're willing to be completely team reliant on sustain.

>>144855126
Are you on the US server? Because in EU it's the exact opposite when it comes to what classes people play, with DK being in the top and sorc in the bot.

Oh, I see, will mobs be easier then?

>>144855694
>weapon damage that high
How

>>144856223
Mobs in non-veteran areas are surely the same as before. In veteran area they scale by CP now. I noticed that the two NPCs I always kill while thieving in Rawl'kha have more hp after the update; went up from 17k to 21k. So veteran area mobs may be a bit buffed.

>>144857893
Gold weapons w/ gold weapon damage enchant, Hunding's, Kena 2-piece, agi set with full weapon damage enchants, weapon power potion and 501CP.

It could be 200-ish higher if I had daggers with a weapon damage 2-piece bonus, like Leki's, but I crafted Nightmothers before I farmed the Kenas (all that farming when I could have bought them in cyro fuck me), and I cba spending 150k on new daggers.

>>144858572
gold weapon enchant? what a waste

>>144863440
Weapon enchants only scale with the quality of the item on dropped gear. I crafted the daggers so I had to use gold enchants, unless I wanted lower stats, which I don't.

Anyone know where I can find the latest weapon damage calculations? I'm trying to make my tank character a little faster to level and everything I'm finding is old enough to be incorrect.

>>144860081
He's so wrong I don't know where to begin.

This is add thing but I'd love if you would make some sort of schematics in the game, being allowed to see what your gear will look like before you craft it. Because those tiny icons are useless.

>>144865814
I'm not talking about them being gold, I'm talking about it being a weapon damage enchant, such shit

>>144871047
Are you serious?

Weapon damage enchants are and have always been the preferred main hand enchant, as for PvE DPS they are by far the biggest damage increase.

I have no idea why you think they are less efficient than other enchants, let alone shit.

Pick either stam or mag.

You can't be good at both.

>>144877192

When you say 'I want both to work' what do you mean exactly? You want to play something that uses stam AND magicka and works well? Also what style of play are you looking for? It's actually possible to use stam/magicka mixed (to a degree) builds but they're usually aimed at tanking or survivability. There's a couple of high armor sorc builds that have come out the woodwork since the shield patch that are heavy armor centric and generally revolve around having reasonably balanced pools (generally more magicka based with and and aimed at having higher spell than weapon damage).

>There's a couple of high armor sorc builds that have come out the woodwork since the shield patch that are heavy armor centric and generally revolve around having reasonably balanced pools (generally more magicka based with and and aimed at having higher spell than weapon damage).

Should note that this is generally for PvP.

>>144877693
This, I actually just use magicka for tanking hits using boundless storm, and hardened ward, then I use lightning flood for AOE. I basically just want to be able to cast these but have mostly everything on stamina since I use a dual wield on one bar and two handed on another bar mixed with magicka.

>>144878231
>https://youtu.be/N2VyHGU4500

Above is a link for a PvP based survival/tank build that I saw on the forum the other day. Looks interesting even though is does have a fucking pet (though I haven't tried them out for a while desu) and I've got fuck all else to do on my sorc so may give it a bash. He's still more magicka/spell focused but with decent stam and uses a sword and board on one bar and a destro staff on the other. One of the advantages is that you're able to go for Willpower jewelry without having to get arcane (which usually cost a fuck ton). The only thing that'll take a bit of effort is the Black Rose set though there may be alternatives for this sort of build.

I've no idea what the state of tank Sorcs is in PvP save for the fact that the shield nerf will inevitably mean that they'll need to change tactics/build. Sorcs weren't exactly great tanks before the DB patch anyways. Shields will not be just quick use for any big incoming damage that you can't avoid rather than throwing them up all the time.

>>144879308
>I've no idea what the state of tank Sorcs is in PvP

Meant PvE

That follow the streetlamps quest in wayrest was a lot of fun

I took the money

>>144879308
Thanks bud I'll give it a try, right now I'm using an all purple mix of 3 sets, using the briarheart set, sithis, and the 2 piece bloodspawn set. Not even going to lie might keep this set going, since it heavily keeps my alive and the sithis set is the only one I might replace since I'm only getting 4 of its bonuses. I'm working with around 310k of gold so I can't afford the expensive gold set pieces.

>>144874413
Dunmer is a QT!

>>144874413
CookeryWiz is the best for provisioning.

You can queue any amount of different recipes anywhere. The queue is saved if you quit the game. Cook when your at a cooking fire. Stop cooking and continue again at will.

It shows all recipes that exist. Filters recipes by unknown/known/quality/level/text search/favorites. Three favorite categories to save recipes into.

It's most useful when buying ingredients at a guild store to cook. Look at what's for sale while looking at your recipes. Buy ingredients and set a queue for them to be cooked. Now you don't need to remember what the ingredients you bought were for, just go to a cooking fire and start cooking after redeeming the stuff from your mail. If you're buying thousands of ingredients at once and cooking them all for selling to vendors then this is the only way.

>>144886598
Really? They go to 3600?

Where could you even put all those points?

>>144885546
Same as always, 5 seconds on a 10 second CD.

>>144886695
You don't get points after 501.

>>144888663
You mean, you don't get to put out points after 501

>>144892213
Ah, so it's like that.

I wish there were little caves to explore without quest or purpose, like in Morrowind.

>>144892412
try delves? they pretty much fucking pointless cookie cutter shit caves, you'll love 'em, they have like little item started quest in them but that about it, they only real reason to go is run halfway through to grab the skyshard and then fuck off again.

>>144843997
Okay, /tesog/ sell me on teso. What makes it stand out?

>>144894185
Everything you're heard about it is false.

>>144894185
Should really have a detailed explanation for these questions in the OP or something.

>>144893790
I know them, there's also a small boss at the end, but they're all the same and too big.

>>144894443
But I've heard nothing except that it's good but not exceptional. If you play the game then sure you can tell me more? Just generally how does it compare to other big titles?

>>144895008
It's the only MMO i've played.

>>144894185
The combat system, flexibility among classes and abilities and PvP is the most fun I've ever had in a mmo. There's a siege at this very moment that have lasted hours on the EU PC server on the non-champion points campaign, between the pact and the covenant. The winners will probably be the ones who go to bed earliest. If you like the lore in Elder Scrolls there's a lot of it in ESO.

>>144896041
> The winners will probably be the ones who go to bed earliest.
The losers, obviously.

>>144894185
Things i like about eso:
>leveling
Of course its quest running and such, but there is more exploration and freedom then any mmo i've played.
>classes
as unbalanced as they are, you still have so much freedom in doing your build. There are the "min/max" builds but if you play like a sane person and build what ever the fuck you want it gives you the tools for that. Think skyrim, but not as free
>pvp
once again unbalanced when it comes to classes, but it still is the most fun i've had since i first started pvping in mmos
>quests in general
every quest is voice acted, and they are pretty innovative. Best ones i've tried so far are the thieves guild ones and i havent even touched most of them.
>combat
its simple and somewhat unique but still nice

cant really give an opinion on trials(raids) or dungeons since i've only tried 2 dungeons so far(im lvl50 cp41).
If you don't need mmo to be polished from top to bottom and can overlook a few bugs here and there then its mmo for you.

>>144896041
>>144896282
Cheers, guys. Sounds a lot like GW2 when people tried to get me in and I loved that game. I'll probably give it a try as soon as I have some spare cash.

>>144896485

>>144884872

They'd better not fuck it up but I anticipate it'll suck. I actually want housing to be fairly limited (not some shit like instanced housing for all) and actually have some proper customisation for both interior and exterior. I also want it to actually be in a place out in the world and not just plonked in 'housing area 501' or some shit. That said I'd be fine with instanced 'districts' that are limited in number but can actually look different from one another. You could also throw in some 'tavern rooms' or apartments for less limited housing so everyone can have a personal little space they can customise and pleb about in.

There's shit loads of depopulated cities/towns after we've finished questing so it'd be neat if they actually used those. Take somewhere like Camlorn for example, it's a big space that does fuck all after you've done the quests there. Why not have the option of repopulating it after you've cleared it out? I also hope we get shit like player run shops (not just the guild traders) and that sort of thing.

>>144896041
you mean BWB? that feel when played like 7 hours today and got myself to the top ten the first time :3

>>144897370
Nah, Azura's star.

Thieves guild quests ain't half bad

>>144899827
It's fun in BWB because I get that cosy feel. When I log in there in AD I often see familiar faces farming AP and yelling in chat.
>Tfw got 6 in the leaderboard today
>Tfw AD as usual raped in the ass and pushed into their innermost keeps
Still fun :3

This champion point thing is a real boon to those of us with lots of alts. In addition to my main, I have a number of abandoned characters I didn't want to spend the time to level, a lvl 50, a lvl 46, a lvl40, and a lvl 19.

>>144910336
I wish it was shared between servers...

>>144910336
It is. It's great because levelling alts won't be a pain in the ass anymore. You're never really losing progress by playing on an alt. Before I didn't want to level an alternative charather. But after the changes I'm considering making alternatives because why not.

>>144905884
Azura is skewed enough that it's essential the pact fighting on two fronts against the two other alliances, it's fairly rare you see daggerfall vs aldmeri forces battling it out.

Need some suggestions on what DLC should be good to buy on the long run. I used to be able to maintain eso+ but dont have the money for it anymore, and i got few spare crowns left of it. I pvp mostly so is IC a solid choice or...?

Is playing without the dlc any good at all? Am I missing out on some amazing stuff or anything like that? I have an urge to play the game again, but I stopped at around level 15 I think.

Is vampire bite from the crown store a waste of crowns? I have a bunch from subscribing but there's not really anything else I want to spend them on.

Is vampirism a bad choice for a templar tank?

Now get a friend and get Pack Leader or whatever it's called + Devour and that skill that gives you more time each time you get hit.

So much face-eating. A shame it doesn't have the over the top kill animations like Skyrim though.

>>144926051
hahah, already got it. We both went pack leader morph so we end up with six wolves total ripping into stuff.

>>144924302
Not really. I mean, at the very end game you're missing out on content other people have, and you won't be able to craft certain stuff because those crafting stations are only in DLC areas, but if you're only level 15 there's no reason outside of actual curiosity on Orc culture or you really want to be a member of the Dark Brotherhood to bother with the DLC's until you've done everything in the base game. It's not p2w.

The only one that matters in any way before the end game is probably the Dark Brotherhood since you get access to the Blade of Woe, allowing your to instantly kill trash mob humans from behind if you sneak up on them. But we're talking about enemies that you would be able to kill faster by just doing it the ordinary way.

About to start playing this game, do I have to roll a Nightblade to enjoy the Thief/Dark Brotherhood content?

>>144933519
You'll survive the main story and each characters main arc but daily hiests are hard without being a nightblade. That goes for both DLC's.

Nightblades make the dailies a lot easier cause they can cloak. I also have a sneaking gear setup that I use when I do them (remove movement penalty for sneaking, decrease detection radius by 2m). If you're one of the races with the sneak passives (Khajiit, Bosmer) that helps too, or have the vamp sneak bonus.

I just started and I'm playing stam NB, and was just wondering about the attributes. So far I'm splitting between stam and health at about 3:1 ratio.

Should I go full stam?

Did they fix the dungeon finder yet?

>>144950510
The idea is you want to go everything into stamina as long as you have at least ~19k HP so you don't get one shot. Since I'm at max CP I can go full stamina in just about everything.

Also attributes are the cheapest to move around if you're trying to get 19k HP, no need to buy robust agi rings when healthy is good.

If you just started I wouldn't worry too much. Just try aim for 5 hundings, 4 night mother's and 3 agility jewellery and that's good enough gear to do every PvE content except vet maw of lorkhaj (which I personally haven't completed yet and if I were to try I would do it on a magicka build).

Enchanting, Provisioning and Alchemy are really quick to do. I have the provisioning writ foods in my inventory so all I need to do is return it each day. Also, there's an addon for automatically crafting the writ items when at a crafting station and automatically taking writ items at your bank.

Equipment crafting requires mats which require either farming them every day or buying them so they are more time-consuming.

>>144959065
These dubs

>>144959298
Enchanting is easy wat?

This shit is taking me forever

>>144959459
Once you have enough runes, yes. All I do is craft the glyph, visit my bank, return. With your hireling and the writ reward giving you, on average, more runes back than you spend it requires no effort. Also doing pledges + random dungeon everyday gives you glyphs which means more runes.

While we're on the topic of crafting, for someone just starting out should I be crafting while I'm leveling or is it better to just wait till I'm max level or close to max to get into crafting?

>>144959701
while you are levexing of course

>>144959701
Ye

As you play, you'll be getting equipment. You should deconstruct them but sell the ornate pieces.

>>144959701
For equipment crafting, if you ever want to be able to craft all craftable sets in the game, you want to start researching traits immediately and level your professions until you have the research passive maxed as fast possible. It will take about a year to get all traits researched for every item in one profession.

A simple, quick and relatively cheap way to level equipment crafting is stealing items from vendors, laundering them and deconstructing. Unlaundered items give almost no inspiration whatsoever so laundering is a must. Depending on which faction you are in this is easier to do. In EP there's a good vendor for woodworker and blacksmithing items in Davon's Watch and really good vendor for clothier in Stormhold. In DC Wayrest has a good vendor for clothier. AD has only crap vendors afaik. The more items they have on display and the easier they are to steal the better.

Provisioning, Enchanting and Alchemy can be leveled as you level and gather mats and recipes to craft. Though enchanting is the hardest to level. You either need someone to craft you glyphs to deconstruct or buy them from guild stores.

>>144894185
>what makes it stand out

From some one who played from beta to about 6 months ago, who had 2 VR16's, over 550 Champion Points, Rank 25 Alliance, crowned emp multiple times... Nothing, really.

The quests are mostly boring, the main story is just running down a single instanced corridor, combat is better than the typical MMO but it's still shit and the animations are some of the worst in any MMO or TES game, the design of everything has a weird scaling where everything is gigantic like they shrunk the size of the player down to make the world seem bigger, brown and bloom everywhere, no imagination or thought put into the world at all and so many copy paste textures and objects everywhere, the PVP aspect of the game (it was heavily marketed as a pvp focused game at launch) is in shambles from over 2 years of neglect and the servers still lag and spike ping to 999 whenever there's a battle with ~20 people in the area, they scrapped bounty hunting, spellcrafting and any future pvp updates. It's supposed to be an MMO but they removed all the big features from their development focus and just release PVE story DLC now so it's like a watered down single player game that you have to pay premium price for if you want the latest content.

The vanilla game without the DLC suffers the most from the problems I listed but some of the DLC content has actually improved the world. Wrothgar is so much better than the rest of the world it's ridiculous. I haven't played much of Thieves guild and I got Dark Brotherhood but haven't played it. I really only stuck around because it was the best pvp game with the most customization and build variety. I quit to play Black Desert and haven't looked back because the servers are still a mess and I know they will never do anything about it because the community for that is long dead.

>>144924302

Deconstruct. It's FAR cheaper than buying crafting materials. Just buy a fuckton of stuff from the guild stores, and maybe a psijic ambrosia potion, and you can get all your non-enchanting craft skills to super high within half an hour for cheap.

>Why did you stick around?
Read the post.

The pvp WAS fun but they neglected it too much.

The pve was always dogshit.

there weren't any other games out worth playing and believe me i tried - wow, ffxiv, tera, gw2, archeage, they're all shit and marketed worse if you're looking for something with fun pvp

I held out for so long because there was hope with the "re-release" of the game to console and such that they would improve server performance and lag in pvp or that Imperial City would be good; but they didn't and it wasn't. The performance got worse and IC was a disaster of lost potential and clearly abandoned features like the entire upper portion of the city eg. It was supposed to have capturable objectives that would impact the rest of cyrodil to give people a reason to fight there, but it was a ghost town only a couple weeks after the DLC launched.

I'd actually go as far to say that all those attempts at WoW "open world" pvp were better than IC because people actually did them and they gave decent rewards. They're still all bad but I remember having some fun in Wintergrasp at least.

>>144971969

Odd thing about wow world pvp, and I don't know if they changed it after I stopped playing, but they put all this effort into say the northrend expansion's pvp zone and next expansion it's a ghost town. I played the expansion after that one, and never really got to see the zone in action.

I hope that if they add any new pvp anythings to eso, it won't be possible to out-level it, or outlevel the rewards, or whatever it was that stopped people looking at the outdated zones in wow. The same applies similarly to pve content - so much content sitting there and people don't have a reason to visit it once the next expansion hits.

>>144973359
I've never actually experienced bad lag in cyrodiil, so I can't say I've seen it unplayable. Although admittedly I've never played in USA peak times where the server can get full in the dinky little non cp map I play on.

So, which faction should I avoid if I want to go full PVP? Which faction sucks the most?

>>144976171
Blue are OP, nerf blue. Red are okay.
T. Yellow.

>>144976171
No faction sucks at PvP. Ebonheart has the biggest population (at least in EU PC) so they're the best at zerging. Daggerfall struggles with numbers but they have really good small group PvP. With Aldmeri I usually end up fighting 1v1 1v2 2v2 and so on but they have good grouping too. It's not about the people you meet in there, it's about the people you go there with. The only thing where it's crucial are party leaders, often people who run for the emperor. If they sucks, then the whole faction is kinda screwed.

>>144976171
On EU, DC seem to fight pretty hard but balanced, AD seem pretty agressive against both factions and EP seem prety strong defensively

Probably a magicka NB with a destro staff, maybe some hybrid to get into a bit of melee dps, more other stamina speed.

>>144973881
Well, it just became out-dated content in wow, because they added something new and "better"
i really cant see that happening in eso, since cyrodiil offers so much. And on top of that theres IC(havent tried it) its just that most of the pvp players in general are crying cause they have lag and the classes are unbalanced. Neither of those things have stopped me from pvping, ever. The lag is something they are working on and if they realize that people dont pvp(like its starting to happen in eso) they will stop putting efforts in it. The funniest thing is the class balance. There has never been mmo or even a moba with good balance. A things i'd like to see made to pvp is that, cyrodill performance affects the world outside of it in some matter.

>>144973881
Not really. I mean, Cyrodiil is *the* PvP area. All other kind of PvP they possibly add, like duels and small arenas, will be just extra. The devs can control the population with the alliance point currency and how much you gain where.

>>144978914

I know with Oblivion, that was what introduced the "generic medieval fantasy Cyrodiil", but what are some other examples from both Obliv and Morrow that are equal to or greater than some of the egregiousness of Online?

>>145012876
Biggest offence in Morrowind ought to be how they turned the Hist from a tribe of slightly smarter argonians into timber.

>>145012876
Read the Warp in the West for an account of the massive retcon they implemented to turn the world of TES II Daggerfall into the world of TES III Morrowind. They didn't even try to be subtle about it. Compared to that and the retcon of the Tamriel jungle any discrepancy in TESO is both minor and typically provided with plausible support.
The idea that TES lore is and always has been immutable is itself a retcon of sorts. On the contrary, it has always been adjusted as necessary for the benefit of the next game in the series.

>>145013862
The Warp in the West was necessary given DF's end.

>>145014028
Exactly, because they wanted to continue the series. They even changed the scale of the entire world to fit the new game world paradigm.

Not really. It's so easy to get alts to max level now that the only real reason people would even do it in the first place is if they really wanted to keep the same character or if they didn't want to rebuy/regrind for gear (assuming it's even suitable for the class you 'respec' into).

On a map of Tamriel, the Daggerfall world is roughly the same size as Skyrim which you can run across in about a day.
The game world was large but mostly empty, so you fast traveled everywhere. Obviously that didn't fit the sort of game world they wanted to create for Morrowind so they changed the scale of the world to suit their needs.

people bring this up a lot, but I'm not sure one can say it's 100% accurate at least to developer intent.

Remember: default timescale in Skyrim is x20 realtime, and x30 in Oblivion and Morrowind.

This means that the time it takes to travel across the maps, in-game/in-universe tend to be several days, even weeks, so it could be that Bethesda opted to simply use a sped up timescale than try to convey the geography as so large in-game.

I could be wrong though. Actually, maybe I'll ask on the Bethesda forums themselves.

I think the loremaster actually talk about this on an ESO live episode, that it's a matter of characters (including player charathers) perceptions of things, that there's some places where there's a distinction between lore and gameplay, and that mapsize is one of them.

Imperials have really great racial skills for tanking. They get extra health and stamina, both used when tanking (when you block you drain stamina instead of health). Red diamond also means that the little hits you may get in when you're not holding up your shield have a chance to heal you.

Here's a list of em all, should be updated.

http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Racial+Skills

However more important than racial passives are that you feel comfortable playing said race. If you dig redguards, get a redguard.

That''s not what it means. It simply means that one irl day is 20 in-game days, not that one in-game day is 20 in-game days.

okay, so, yeah, Tamriel is apparently supposed to be at least as big as North America with the different provinces begin about the size of large states or Canadian provinces. Right?

Still, it would be interesting to see Bethesda maybe just do a promotional thing to show about how big some of the cities are supposed to be. Actually I think they did do that.

Otherwise, I think there's this, which is supposed to be a city from Morrowind.

I like Bretons, Redguards, Khajits and Dunmers. Which class and build should I pick for each of them

Make the Breton a Templar as a healer due to their great magicka bonus, then make the Redguard as a stamina-focused Dragonknight tank due to their stamina, the Khajit as a stamina-focused Dragonknight damagedealer for their bonus to critical damage, and the Dunmer as a magicka-focused Dragonknight due to their bonus with fire damage.

It may sounds like I'm joking but this patch have fucked over the balance so hard that there's no reason to not play a Dragonknight. You see, the Dragonknight is best in every role except healing, there they're merely the 2nd best class.

> The "bad guys" simply don't want to build an empire and go to war with the rest of the world, going so far as to try to kill her just to stop the war

Oh cool, thanks

I'm considering getting this game. How active is the NA playerbase?

Is endgame PvE content rewarding and/or challenging?

Is there open world PvP? How prevalent is PvP in general?

Most places I've checked say that it's nothing really new or innovative and that I should only play if I'm interested in the lore, which apparently is also fucked in this game.

>>145051192
Endgame PvE content is only challenging if you're brain dead retarded, which half the playerbase is.

>>145051192
The pvp is kind of open world. Theres one big ass zone for pvp which focuses on sieging keeps. Theres also Imperial city dlc that focuses on pvp but i havent tried it.

You know, I can't help but have my doubts Nazi Germany was the first country to ever have a "they are lesser people and therefore must be eradicated" ever in history.

With all the nut jobs humanity's produced and how many nations have risen and fallen in the past, you'd think there'd be one or a dozen more idiots in the universe.

Include me in those idiots. I am not against some individuals but jews and sand niggers are cancer. Both of those are raised in such an idiotic and proud cultures that they wont do things that would be necessary to advance. Niggers for one are just stupid and harmless, very fitting for slaves desu.

>>145051192
The combat and it's speed and flexibility is probably the biggest reason along with the lore, that I'm still playing. Dungeons are fun and decently challenging dependant on your group and their levels/champion points.

>>145053446
They were obviously not the first ones but I found the argonian part really fucked up compared to what the other factions are doing in the war. The "least" bad guys I've came across are probably the pact but I can't guarantee it, been a long time since I played trough the faction stories.

No, the count is number_of_sales / number_of_items_sold. That is, if you sell a stack of 200 of something it will add 1 / 200 to your count.

>>145039367
kc stats you filthy pve fuck

What can I do with blue set items (mainly from PvP) that I have no use for? Deconstructing/researching them seems kinda like a waste, and selling for 40 g is a joke.

>>145063626
Issue with Pelinal set is while it uses your best weapon/spell stat for calculations, it doesn't affect your resource pools. And because each 10.5 stam/magicka is worth one 1 weapon/spell damage respectively, your abilities will do less than you'd expect because you won't have 40k magicka as a stam build and vice versa.

Also, because of champion points your spells will deal less damage if you are a stamina build because you'll have points into mighty instead of elemental expert and vice versa.

Whats with people trying to get into veteran dungeons when they're below 160? Literally every time I que for a random vet dungeon both the DPS is always below 160 and some one else ends up leaving because of it. Some of them will even make their own groups for gold and expect people to carry them.

Yo NA PC guild, do you guys do dungeons together? I want to try doing them but haven't had much experience. I've got over 250 CP

>>145066828
Because among the majority of players, "damagedealer" doesn't mean "damagedealer" but "not tank or healer".

Any tank here has make the math to know if is more effective innvest on an reinforced armor + shadow ward or sturdy armor + hardy/heavy armor master?

It seems to me that the numbers are pretty much the same to me. But i dont know the actual math behind.

The second option works pretty well for a dps off spect.

Also. Stamina and magica regen. Whats a good number to start with?

Hey guys, just bought this terrible game and from what I've watched it seems like it's really, really easy to completely fuck up your character and not be viable in PVP or PVE. I'm scared

>>145086989
You can respec senpai

>>145086989
Character development is complex, but you can respec for gold, so if your build isn't working, you can tweak it as you go.
Also, the way food armor/weapons and enchantments work you get a lot of variability from these.

>>145086989
I've fucked up my char badly. I wanted to make a 2handed stealther, and well now i have one. Its really bad but fun. I just make builds as I please. Not gonna start min/maxing. Thinking of doing a build around summon shade next. Idea seems cool but don't know how it will work out.

wtf, was just playing and then I got sent to the login page and when I tried logging on it said account is already being played.

Had to restart the client to log back in.

I have a question,

I developed character ADHD in Skyrim and it carried over to ESO. I have been constantly restarting, but I just started playing mag sorc even though it got nerfed, and I am having the most fun yet.

I have been reading though that sorcs are a liability and everyone does stuff better than them, etc. Should I re-roll? I like magicka builds better than stamina, so if I re-roll what should I go?

I bought ESO close to a year ago and have yet to reach lvl. 25 on a character

>>145089014
If you are so autistic that you've gotta get the best results, i would say mag templar or nightblade
but my recommendation is that you play what you like yourself, since buffs/nerfs change every patch. Next one might be the patch of sorcs.

>>145089014
The meta keeps changing. Last year sorcs were OP, maybe in a couple months they will become OP again. Play what you enjoy.

>>145089345
what the meta now?

>>145089345
This desu. Overall the game have improved over the year when it comes to balance. I remember when Nightblades were so buggy they were borderline unplayable.

>>145086989
Honestly it's probably more simple than you think. A rule of thumb is that you either put your points in magicka or stamina, and choose weapons and abilities around your resource pool, since your stamina abilities will scale with your stamina pool and your magicka abilities will scale based on your magicka pool. That info alone should help you out the first hundred hours before you get comfortable with the system.

>>145095997
DK as tanks and damagedealers, Templars as healers, Nightblades for PvP, Sorcerers as a laughing stock.

Hello guys!

I am playing as a altmer templar however instead of going for magicka templar I am doing a stam templar and needless to say I feel like I am kind of fucked because of squishyness.

So I invested in stam and nothing else but like I said I am squishy and I can barely 1 vs 1 unique monster spawns half my level, should I invest in some health as well? How do I stop being so goddamn squishy I wear heavy armor for fucc's sake.

I wasn't sure if I should include that I am a casual ESO player but it is kind of scary not to include it because of potential heavy duty bully

>>145037104
This is definitely Balmora, the first big city/town you travel to after Seyda Neen.

>>145105774
stamplars are very bad atm.
You should invest in magika to get anything done.

>>145105774
I wouldn't try to go all stam for a low level character.
Make sure you're using food.
If you have a crafter, better gear with the right set bonuses and enchantments can help a lot. If you're wearing dropped armor, your choices are limited.

I have a few characters across EP and AD personally, but if pressed I'd say I'm more EP than anything. Dunmer/Nords are my favorite (with Khajiit being a close third) and both Skyrim and Morrowind (the places) are really cozy for me. I guess Argonians are cool too, but that's just a bonus for me.

>>145105774
You could invest in Magika, or alternatively you could kind of ignore your class bullshit and invest more in your weapon and armor skills or something. I'm new as well but have been pushing through content fairly easily with a hybrid build (that I'm sure is super non-optimal) and just kind of swap between my magicka and stamina based abilities when I run out of juice for one.

>>144847987
No, a dps would die.

>>145106805
>>145107192
I invested in two hand + heavy armor but I think I fucked this build up. I don't care much for min maxing but this one just won't work, bunch of AD quests have double final boss situation going on even though they are regular ass quest mobs and sometimes below my level I am having extremely hard time killing them like I had to ask help from a guildie to finish a side quest after dying like four times.

Which should've been my wake up call t b h.

>>145106981
I craft my own armor with the same character and I have armor bonus traitor but I guess it is not good enough. Also I found some outdoors workshops for set crafting but I have no idea how those work at all.

Those can give you extra bonuses, but you have to have a certain number of traits researched per item to use them. Look up the special sets online and check the bonuses they offer and which ones you have access to. You might be able to get a bit more health that way.
Really though, don't try to go all stam with a templar at least until you can morph the spear ability to stam. That spear should be your basic attack ability.

>>145105774
I'd never bully a casual. It's an Elder Scrolls game, playing it however you want is one of the charms of the series. I don't know how many hours I've spent on activities giving me next to no gold or experience points simply because it's fun or comfy.

>>145076752
A sorcerer in EP, a nightblade in DC and a Templar in AD. All Argonians. I like to think they're all egg-siblings who reacted differently to the Ebonheart Pact and send letter to each other written in Jel.

>>145108832
I am going to check out those crafting options and I think I am going to drop two handed altogether and invest completely in armor and class skills (I can use stam spear atm). I should probably invest some more in self healing as well.

>>145109034
I spend a lot of time playing lute in comfy cabins and go through books I collected.

I'd take long walks on the beach as well if it weren't for all the stinking deadra.

So what class is the best dps class? I played NB when the game first came out (got him to some low lvl vet rank before I got bored with cadwells gold) but it bugged me that every patch I'd need a respec because they changed something so that a build would be useless (desu it was only like this after they changed the spell scaling) but my DK friends could either play tank or dps and would outdamage me if I wasn't paying attention to my rotation.

>>145112284
Stamina DK

So like every class can dps, tank and heal but some classes do one spesific thing better than the others like templars have a dedicated heal skill tree, dk's are better at dishing out damage and taking punishment, sorcerers have a lot of utility and nightblades can deal damage but their damage dealing involves a lot of shenanigans and generally useful in PvP.

My question is am I going to get conked out of end game content because I am not following the latest minmax class-skill-race meta?

>>145118729
> My question is am I going to get conked out of end game content because I am not following the latest minmax class-skill-race meta?

If you're thinking about pug content where you just join a bunch of randoms to clear a veteran dungeon or take part in a siege, then no, no one will bother with what you're doing as long as you get the job done. No one will bat an eye at your Bosmer sorcerer healer as long as you keep people's health up.

Someone else will have to let you know what it's like in guilds and trials (this games version of raids) because I'm not part of a raid guild.

>>145119462
Not in one myself either but I've heard that at least one guild on EU want you to send them screencaps of your damage reports to make sure you can do 25k+ dps, before they let you in

What sidejobs should I be leveling up? I'm a nightblade high elf, alchemy seems like it would be useful

All types of crafted items are necessary at high levels. Whether you decide to buy them or craft yourself them is the decision.
If you try to level all crafts from the start such that your crafted items will be useful to you as you level, you will be short of skill points.
If you intend to craft armor, clothing and weapons you should start researching traits now.

No. I have an Argonian stamina nightblade and magicka nightblade DPS, and I've completed and gotten leaderboards on pretty much every trial and PvE content that can be done in ESO except Vet Maw of Lorkhaj.

I think racial choice matters 5%, and the rest is skill (rotations) and gear.

Just finished veteran imperial city prison as a stam sorc tank. Shit was intense. We could really really need to be able to cast Dark Heal while holding up our shield.

They probably already are working on the next Elder Scrolls. But we won't see it for many years. It may take so long we'll actually get spellcrafting into ESO before the next TES.

>>145126756
I actually think zenimax could make a better Tes single player game than Bethesda. Even if there are many things that have been done differently lore-wise. They know what they are doing and i think its well done. Also the depth in character building in an online game is amazing to me. Just imagine if they made the next TES.

I mean I'm levelling an alt in DC and a lot of quests so far have been branching. I think there's 4 ways you can solve the one involving the noble werewolf. There's several ways you can solve the one involving the Silver Daggers and the harpies.

I'm not sure what quests in Skyrim were branching.

>>145128505
And there are many similar things in AD quests aswell. eso seemingly has overall more depth than any elder scrolls so far.

>>145127630
---->this >>145128505

Questing in ESO is much better than what Bethesda did with TES. There are short comings to ESO lorewise but it is still much more intricate and in many cases interesting than TES quests.

What is good and interesting is very subjective and as a MMORPG ESO must have good quest lines it is the foundation of the game but Oblivion and Skyrim were RPG games and they had so much bland questlines. Not even talking about lack of freedom of choice, they were bland save for few questlines. (Oblivion dark brotherhood and Dragonborn expansion pack for Skyrim for me are the exceptions) Also flavour daedra quests were always neat as well, Bethesda done that right. I left Morrowind out of this rant because I think they did everything right with what they had back then, quests and lore were very "exotic" and interesting for me.

If they fuck it up with TES game it'll be a shame really, TES lore is beautiful and full of potential.

>>145132401
DESU Morrowind's quests were mostly pretty bland too. The setting gave some interesting window-dressing to it but a lot of it was generic go place, kill thing, come back.

They do get bonus points for limiting which guilds you could advance to the end at the same time though, all the little inter-guild conflicts and exclusions were great and they did actually have some interesting and unique stuff at times. The pilgrimage stuff for the Temple was incredible.

All of it is worth a watch simply to get an understanding from what approach they're writing the characters and quests in the game.
