Aldmeri Dominion.

I ran out of things that I could find in Auridon so everythings got me going to Grahtwood.

I finished killing the veiled queen and it was sending me to Grahtwood, same with the fighters guild. I couldn't find anything left to do before going there.

It's not so bad but I do feel a bit underleveled and like I can die a bit too fast if I'm not careful, which I'm not to used to having to be.

I don't know what delves are or how you do them, have no idea where all the skyshards are, also don't know what toothmaul gully is.
>>
>>151440670
Delves are little torches on your map, they should be black if you haven't finished them. Each one has a skyshard inside, plus theres more scattered about.

Toothmaul gulley is a cave near the coast by Tanzelwil, and its a Public Dungeon, which is like a slightly more involved Delve that also gives you a special kind of new emote as a reward

What's the best gear for Magplar? Currently using Magnus and Torug. The survivability is nice but when I run into 2 good players I die. I don't want to die, ever. Should I switch to heavy armour?

What should I focus on, generally? Currently trying to balance spell power and magicka regeneration.

Thinking of making a Templar. No idea how to build one though, so I guess I just need recommendations for a leveling build.

I want to make him an Argonian but I feel as though I would be better off as a different race due to racial abilities. Can anyone give me some advice?

Are the previewed armour sets in character creation locked to the class they're displayed on?

Breton/High Elf have the best looking Templar/Dragon Knight armour but I'd prefer to make a Redguard for the racial passives.

Class and race. If you can find the motif books you can make a redguard wearing breton/high elf heavy/med armour traitor

>>151478412
The armor in the preview is in the native style of each race, but every race can learn every crafting style. You can wear whatever you like too, no restrictions on what class wears which armor type.

Did I do alright?

Will I get dicked on if I try to tank with Redguard? Seems like Imperial/Nord/Orc are the primary tanking races but I saw Redguard gets a bonus for shields.
>>
>>151476169

Anyone? What race should I pick if I plan on ultimately being a tank? Should I just pick a different class if I want to tank?
>>
>>151480880
As someone who is creating their first character >>151480789 and knows basically nothing about the game, Imperial, Nord and Orc seem to be the minmax tanks with Argonian and Redguard being ok (???) tanks

I imagine Argonian would make a pretty good Templar since they get bonuses to both healing AND receiving healing.
>>
>>151480880
Nord or Orc. Imperial's a decent one and Redguard's a possibility if you go stam tank cause of their sustain game. Argonian would be better for a mag tank because of self heals
>>
>>151480789
>Redguard
They're good Stamina tanks and Adrenaline Rush is redic, but you shouldn't be too swayed by the first passive, experience bonuses aren't that great, you'll max everything eventually.

>>151480880
Dragon Knights are the best tanks
>>
>>151481067
>>151481137

Apologies for all the questions, I'm rather new to this game.

As far as I'm aware all I need for leveling is just sword and shield + Puncturing Sweep, right? If I decide to go Nord which is appealing to me because I want to be a hulking brute of JUSTICE am I going to be making a mistake or should I just pick a different class like >>151481226 suggested?

I'm also extremely indecisive about this kind of thing and I don't want to regret anything later

One more noob here. Is magsorc good for UNLIMITED POWAH and dps?
>>
>>151481696
Surprisingly lightning seems to favor stamina compared to summoning and dm but overall yes, you can go unlimited power. Dps is where they shine since templar's can best them in heal
>>
>>151481282
Depends on if you wanna minmax or not, or how much minmaxing you want to do.
>>
>>151481971

I mean, I want to be good, but I know I won't invest the time to be the absolute very best. All I really want to know for now is a templar leveling build as well as what race to play. I don't have access to Imperial, either.

Templar leveling is like this;

>start researching traits as soon as you can for your preferred armor type and weapons
>deconstruct armor that you don't need/can't be put to research

I'm sure I'm missing some but there's a rough idea.
>>
>>151482796

Thank you.
All I need to do now is figure out what race to play as. Any suggestions?

Should I just bite the bullet and buy the imperial?
>>
>>151482882
Nord's are a safe option because they don't have passives that influence stamina or magicka. Just health though their last one kind of makes them the best tank by negating 6% of all damage, I think. Argonian would be good if you go magic templar. Orc and Redguard for stamina templar.

Oh forgot something, you can pretty much get away with just throwing most of your points into your preferred resource(mag/stam).
>>
>>151483024

Which of the two (magicka/stamina) is better for the tank role? Again, apologies if this is a stupid question, but I'm new to this game and I'm still figuring out how it works.
>>
What class is best suited to using a great sword? Or does it matter much?
>>
>>151482882
Stamina Templar isn't in a great place (and may never be), and Imperial is pretty much a stamina race.

Do whatever you want.
>>
>>151483085
They're both good. Going by what >>151483094 said magic would probably be the better of the two.
Honestly they're both fine, it depends more on how you tank and your class trees than the resource.

>>151483087
DK? Probably.
>>
>>151481696
Yea. But stamina sorcs do more damage than magicka atm, and you're more like Raiden from MGS than the emperor from SW.

how exactly do you tank?

So far out of the three DK paths and the 6 weapon paths, only 1h+shield has a taunt related ability and it's single target.
>>
>>151486306
There's a ranged taunt in the undaunted skills. But it's also single-target. There are no AoE taunts. Which means you gonna have to actually do work as a tank.

I understand that Craglorn is supposed to be a group zone. But obviously, it's super easy to solo as far as enemy difficulty goes. Right now I've completed a few delves and quests, but on one of those quests there was this bullshit, clearly intended for a group of at least 2. I managed to do it solo as well, though it took a bit longer than I'd like.

But that made me wonder if there are quests in Craglorn that can't be solo'd and definitely need at least 1 other player? Because if so, I'm not going to even bother. Impossible to find anyone who wants to run quests there.
>>
>>151492194

Fuck it. What gear sets are best for tanking? Should I just bite the bullet and start the research for all my Nirnhoned stuff in order to craft armor master?
>>
Is there anything in particular that is a "must buy" with your starting 500 crowns or is it best to just never spend them?
>>
>>151495517
there's nothing that you can buy with 500 that would be worth it. if you know you will never, ever buy crowns or subscribe, then you may as well spend them on whatever you want. otherwise, save them.
>>
>>151495517

Did you not get the Crown Edition of the game? gives you 1250 to start with if you enter your code, then you can get the starter pack with mount etc.

With just 500 however, as this anon said >>151496480

I do plan on upgrading to gold though when that's possible.

>>151494678
>be a DK, use volatile armor
>get 5pc Tava + 2pc Bloodspawn
>5pc of what ever you want
Ebon alright but I think most high end tank will be moving onto "of the dragon" pieces now. You job as a tank isn't just staying alive in this game, you expected to also buff the entire group with warhorns every other minute, some shielding, maybe a self heal and unless your doing some brute damage trial boss, you're expect to pull some dps while you're at it.
>>
>>151496725
Because bloodspawn give you 5k when it procs and volatie armour gives you 5k when it up, you have maxed out both your resistance with buffs. I know bloodspawn say it got 6% chance but really it feels like it up like 75% of the time.

>>
>>151497659
I can see why. all those upgrades must take like half a year to finish.
>>
>>151510413
well here's an important question, are those horse upgrades account based or are they character based? cause if it's character based, probably would be a good idea to make a character of each class just so I can have them all training at the same time just for when I want to play a different class in the future I wouldn't have to start that from scratch.
>>
>>151510712
they are character based (but apply to all mounts used by that character)
>>
>>151482645
Don't forget to pick the correct class.
>>
>>151511051
Guess that's what I should do then, just make characters for the other classes now so they can all be training together, save time.
>>
>>151511051
So wait, if your characters use the same mount for everything would said mount get the bonuses and unintentionally share them between the characters?
>>
>>151511817
not quite, think of the training as making your character a better rider, not the horse a better mount. Your characters can share mounts but their individual riding/stamina/carry skill applies when they are riding the mount.
>>

Do abilities morph more than once? I've noticed with abilities that they have continued to rank up after morphing just a lot slower.
>>
>>151515875
Nah, sadly they don't even if I would love the concept of even more evolving abilities.
>>
>>151515875
You can't morph them twice, you can just level them up to IV again. (IV fills instantly)
>>
>>151515875
They only morph once, but each rank improves the effects of the skill

Thanks guys, shame though! it had potential.

Once morphed how would you change your mind and switch to the other version?
>>

You can reset all morphs or all skill points in general at the shrines in your alliance's capital city
>>
>>151516698
Ah okay. Just wanted to know. I don't think I've been to the capital yet. Not really sure where it is actually, I'm AD.

Got a couple skills I'm skeptical on whether I picked the "right" morph for.
>>
>>151517118
The AD capital is Elden Root, in Grahtwood. Its the next zone after Auridon level/quest wise, though you can take a ship from Skywatch to Haven and then walk to Elden Root at any time.
>>
>>151517118
You may as well level all alternatives while you're levelling up anyway so it's not "wasted" so to say.

It's funny but I've been playing since released and realized the other day that I only have rank 2 in Equilibrium.

Just bought the game and waiting for it to download. I was going to ask what magic class I should go with but apparently there's only 4 classes, and only one of them is a caster. Do they have advanced classes or something?

ah cool. yeah I haven't been there yet, farthest i've been in grahtwood was haven.

>>
>>151518320
that's not quite how it works. Every one of those 4 starting classes can be either a caster or melee, magicka or stamina. it's how you build them

I'm guessing Sorcerer is still the best pick if I want to go pure caster?
>>
>>151521172
kinda for the most part. you could still go melee dps or tank, or even healer as a sorcerer though.

They took that sort of, everyone can do everything kind of design. There's still optimal choices for different roles but the lines are very blurred.

>>
>>151521172
I guess that depends on your definition of "pure caster". A nightblade can be pure ranged caster. So can a templar, technically. Dragonknight would be more of a close ranged caster, but still a "pure caster". Sorc would of course work as well.
>>
>>151521172
Templar is probably the best pure caster atm. They do both good DPS (for magicka, anyways) and are the best healers so you can easily go back and forth between both pew pew DPS mage and healbitch.
>>
if I'm going for DW swords on my mag build, what traits do I want? Both sharpened? Sharpened and Precise? or what?

>>151521970
I meant a ranged caster. I guess I'll make a sorc and a templar and see which one I like the most.

Probably sharpened. You're using dw solely for the passive buff to your casts
>>
>>151523116
maybe skill bars? The game is kinda dumbed down with the whole 5 buttons and an ulti, or with weapons swapping, 10 buttons and an ulti.

pretty simplistic. I wouldn't even blame consoles for it either, FFXIV doesn't have that problem.

>>151523451
I wouldn't say less skill bars is "dumbed down", in fact I'd say it's the opposite t b h. Having limited space on the bars means you have to actually think about what you bring to a fight instead of just flipping through bars casting your rotation or finding the one spell you need to, available to you whenever you need it.

>>151524720

You have options, it's just you have to be careful about which options you put on your bar at what time.

It's more about thoughtfully making your build (though honestly most builds are just copied) than having a shitload of keybinds

The main problem is not enough of the skills do different things.

Guild Wars 1 had a great limited action skillset. GW2 and TESO don't have as good of one because they homogenized all the buffs and debuffs. So skills have less variety in what they do. GW1 there were hundreds of skills to choose from and choosing the right secondary class and right skills provided extra synergy in your builds and made them more effective. A spiteful spirit necro would have more than 1 "punishing" hex, doing damage every time an enemy used a skill from multiple sources.

In GW2, they make all those same types of skills stack confusion on the enemy, so it's just one source of damage, homogenized. TESO has the same fucking problem. Why would you carry more than 1 skill that does the same debuff? You don't, you carry the one that uses your preferred resource and also is the "best", which leads to fewer options, which to start off, GW2 and TESO have FAR fewer skills to choose from than GW1.

Limited action skillset can work wonderfully you just need a huge amount of skills to choose from and make them different enough to make for more interesting builds and synergy.
>>
>>151526131
well yeah i mean, gotta keep it simple after all. wouldn't want them to have access to everything they have, that would be overwhelming. better just make them pick the 5 they really want all the time, that'll make it easier for them. they won't have to think as much.
>>
>>151526458
"simple" isn't the word I'd use when making your build, exactly because the bars are so limited. I find myself constantly switching out abilities for different encounters, always thinking of what will be useful for this particular boss or situation and what won't work at all. I can totally see how on the surface it might seem that less ability slots means less complexity, but when you get down to it, you'll probably see how it's actually the opposite. And not having access to every single ability on the fly makes for a more challenging experience.

That's how I see it and to me it certainly doesn't feel dumbed down. Then again, ESO is the only MMO I've played that has so little ability slots, so maybe I'm wrong and just don't know any better.
>>
>>151526131
I think TSW, despite it's boring combat, probably has the best example of the limited skills where you have to plan your synergy, as it utilizes (much in GW1's spirit) unique buffs instead of a generic +20% crit or +20 weapon damage, focusing more on amping up individual skills (of which the game has an absolute fucking *truckload*, something like 500+?) or categories of skills (all "bursts" or all "blasts", etc.) so that when you take such and such skill or passive, you pick ones that compliment it.

You don't really get that in TESO, if I have a skill that gives me Major Bruality I don't need any other skill that does (unless it provides it cheaper, or does something really good that makes it better than the first skill I acquired that has it) because it's generic. Drab DPS skill, grab my buff skills, maybe a heal or defensive skills if I need sustain. Good to go.
>>
>>151526458

Go play Guild Wars 1 for awhile. You'll see what I mean.

Builds and particularly team builds make it more fun and important.

In Games where you just have every skill available all the time and you just have a lot of keybinds, every single player of the same class has the exact same build and rotation of skills. Half the skills aren't even different they're just the same skill just your other skill that does the same thing is on cooldown.

Skill A: Does 100 direct damage, no other effects
Skill B: Does 150 direct damage, no other effects
Skill C: Does 90 direct damage to 5 targets

In WoW, Skill A has a 4s cooldown and low resource cost, and Skill B has a 12s cooldown and high resource cost. Skill C has a 6s cooldown and high resource cost.

So you use Skill B unless: it's on cooldown, which then you use Skill A, or you're conserving resources which then you use Skill A also, and if there's more than 1 target, you use Skill C.

GW2 there are no resource costs, so you only use skill A if skill B is on cooldown, and you use skill B off cooldown all the time, in the cooldown for skill A you'll use skill C even if it's a single target because why not? Just use all the skills off cooldown.

TESO has no cooldowns, instead you manage resources.

So you spam B without ever touching A or C unless there's multiple targets in which you'd spam C until there's just 1-2 targets left, and A wouldn't even be on your skill bar.

GW1 you have both cooldown and resource management, and...

Skill A: does 100 direct damage, low resource cost 4s cooldown, causes cracked armor on target, causes deep wound on weakened targets
Skill B: does 100 direct damage, high resource cost, 12s cooldown, does 200% damage on targets with cracked armor
Skill C: does 90 direct damage on 5 targets, high resource cost, 6s cooldown, causes bleeding on targets with cracked armor

So you'd use A, then B, then C, then a teammate uses a skill that causes weakness on a bleeding enemy..
>>
>>151528687

and then another teammate casts a hex that does damage based on each condition the enemy has (Fragility), then another teammate casts a skill that does extra damage to hexed targets..

Etc. It all synergizes.

Your skill rotation isn't based on just energy management or cooldowns, but also on how that skill synergizes with other skills you or your teammate uses.
>>
>>151528687
I have played them. It's quite similar to guild wars, which I didn't mind too much. I didn't like it mind, and found it pretty dumb and simplistic, but it wasn't enough for me to not even give the games a chance.

I know people where that is the case however.
>>
>>151530216

I actually found GW1 more complex than WoW.

WoW I just picked a talent tree and ran through the same 5 skills most of the time. I had a few emergency buttons but that's really about it, and every single rogue next to me was the exact same build doing the exact same thing.

GW1 for different elite areas there were different builds that were effective, no one build was best at every instance for most classes (except Imbagon and the UA/HB monk healers), most people had to change up based on content they were running and certain team builds were better at some instances than others. For DoA it was ritualist Glaiveway spiking (and even there, 1 of the Ritualists was a different build and performed a different role, generating spirit turrets and clearing hexes from the Imbagon and buffing them with splintered weapon), for UW it was Terraway, for FoW it was Manlyspike, for HM BDS farming it was Assassin Snoway
>>
>>151531606
wow only got less complex over the years because they started giving everything to everyone and homogenizing all the skills.
>>
>>151532290
>giving everything to everyone and homogenizing all the skill

>>
>>151532290

... and here I was talking about Vanilla WoW.

I stopped playing when Wrath of the Lich King hit.
>>
>>151533315
In that case I don't agree then. Vanilla wow and even to some extent TBC and WOTLK had a ton of diversity.

Some classes were pidgeonholed into one "viable" spec, but that wasn't true for all of them. Mage in vanilla for example was able to choose between frost or fire, and also had a hybrid elemental build, all of which worked great whether in pve or in pvp and all played completely differently. Arcane was gimped though.

Yep. The difference between bronze, silver and gold key is how big chance it is you get a shoulder.

They almost did this in ESO, but it's not so bad.

People were complaining "duh well my class doesn't have a gap closer!" "or my class doesn't have a CC!" or "duh my class doesn't have a ranged DoT"

People wanted all classes to have the same mechanics. Same moves, different names. I know this, I saw people posting on the official forums.

They seem to have somewhat avoided that trap. I think it is stupid how easy it is to gap close and get in someone's face in this game (it rewards people who have bad positioning skills and situational awareness) but, that's probably never going to go away, and the game is still fun.

Nah you're right. I haven't played MMOs in ages either and it does feel a bit slow to begin with. Once you get into the 10 + content it isnt so bad.

A lot of anons here know that you can get max level in 5 hours ( literally, theres a guide ) but I've avoided using it because I like to take my time on my first toon and explore.

What builds are viable for mages? I want to play an Imperial because I got the Imp Edition, but apparently magicka got shunted for stamina?
>>
>>151614854
DPS, Healer, I've even heard of magicka tanks though I don't know how that works. Magicka is inferior DPS than Stamina atm, but that doesn't really matter much unless you plan on doing Trials or maybe Vet dungeons, anywhere else you'll be fine.

And you can always go Templar so that switching between DPS and healing is just a matter of what gear you wear and what skills are on your bar.

Just got to Stormhaven after doing 100% of Glenumbra so I'm level 22 and overleveled it seems.

Should I do the missions anyway? as I've not skipped anything yet, would the next village have higher level quests? do I need to do Koeglin for them to chain together?
>>
>>151615613
If you're doing zones 100%, you'll be overleveled until the end.

A lot of quests are part of a story chain, but many of them aren't locked. So you can skip ahead, sometimes unknowingly. In Glenumbra, for example, you can do the entire Wyrd tree quest chain without saving the lumber mill near Daggerfall. And once you go to the mill, the Wyresses act like there's still some kind of danger and the earth is still being corrupted or whatever, oblivious to the fact that you've already dealt with all that.

Basically, if you care about the story and find the quests interesting, you should do them. Some of the bigger quests reward skill points upon completion I don't mean just main story and sometimes other cool shit, like collectables and polymorphs. At least in EP.
>>

Well lets face it, Argonians are basically the indian-mexicans of Tamriel. Wierd sex rituals, sacrifices to the hist tree, and the Xanmeers are carbon copies of aztec/mayan pyramid and temple complexes.

If they also draw their demise from history, then its more than likely that something with magic happened to fuck up the Xanmeer Argonian city state life that collapsed their economy
>>
>>151620174
I forget where, but one NPC mentions that the Hist basically told them to live in mud huts and not make Xanmeers anymore. It probably isn't the sole reason - something probably happened that the Hist decided this was the right course of action - but it's a reason why their society is how it is now.

Yeah, they said on ESO Live that they plan to add more smallscale PvP, like battlegrounds, but probably not arenas thankfully

Though there's pretty much no ETA on that, so it's not coming next update or anything. Gonna be a while.

I do enjoy ganking in imperial city though. Not exactly "structured", but a lot more fun than sieges are for me

>And you can always go Templar so that switching between DPS and healing is just a matter of what gear you wear and what skills are on your bar.

Actually, any DPS gear would also work as healer gear. Might not work the other way around because healer gear almost always comes with things like "4% better outgoing healing" and things like that.

Reasons:

>High Spell Damage
This means you will heal harder. Spell damage works on healing spells.

>High Crit chance
Heals can and will crit.

>High Crit Damage
See above.

The only DPS magicka gear that wouldn't help are things that boost elemental damage, but you're unlikely to use those since all Templar class skills use just straight magic damage.
>>
>>151636028
Agreed. Arenas should never be implemented. Small scale objective driven battleground matches on the other hand...

>>151645850
nvm I guess it's just buggy as shit. soon as I left the manor and came back in it was a cakewalk.
>>
>>151645850
Adds don't spawn infinitely. What you see in the room is what you have to fight. Equip a resto staff, heal your ass, use LoS if you have to. And don't forget that block exists. Even on a magsorc it can be useful. Hardest part would be avoiding all the lightning, and that's not even actually hard.

But I agree, it should have a stealth kill option. Don't know why they force us to go in full rambo mode.

As for the actual difficulty of the fight, it's a DLC that's designed with veteran players in mind, so cp160+. That's why it isn't such a complete faceroll with a low level character it is, actually, but I'm not trying to make a point of "git gud"

We wiped twice in the entire thing.

Nord Templar here. Seeking advice on how exactly to play Stamina DPS.

A few questions:

1. What are the big differences between dual wielding and Two Handed? Is one more AoE based while the other focuses on single targets?

2. With the (Relatively) recent buffs to heavy armor, what are the downsides of choosing to use heavy armor over medium?

3. Should I be focusing on getting my Weapon Crit higher, or my base weapon damage?

4. What Gear sets would be best? Is there a universal tried-and-true?

5. Any way to not rely on Biting Jabs? I simply don't enjoy that skill, but it seems like it's a central part of being any form of Stamina Templar.

1. Pretty much. Dw gets a real good aoe midway through in it's tree and one other but it's doesn't have the multihit that 2h starts out with. However dw is single target king
2. your stam recovery and stam gets kneecapp'd if you go whole hog heavy over med
3. Don't worry about it til fifty or 160. You'll strive for crit in the end as dps
4. Alkosh, Viper, Nightmother's, Mephala there might be one or two more that rise from the lot of them
5. Start using a bow? Not sure since I don't mess around with templar that much.

Rapid strikes on the Dual Wield skill line, though it may only be better with the proper Maelstrom weapons. Not sure.
>>
>>151652928
What about if I'm Two-handed + Bow?
>>
>>151653285
You'll never be able to realistically contest dual wield dps, and Biting Jabs would probably remain best. Though of course 2handers have all kinds of fun skills.

Bows are a meme weapon for the most part. Their weapon damage and passives are just plain bad. You can get good single ability damage with Lethal Arrow, but it's cast speed is slow enough to make its dps garbage. Then there's Poison Inject which has become a cancerous PvP staple. People use volley and arrow spray, but I've never seen them be particularly useful. Middle skill is meh and has a terribly short range. All around, bows are meh. But they are a ranged weapon, so they are useful.

I find the sub to be a pretty good deal, at least up until you get enough bag and bank space, just for the crafting bag. You start at like 50 inventory slots, it's suffering for a new player, no room for anything crafting related.

I think these are pretty low numbers all around. Take a good look at your armor set choices.

Your crit is good though (crit matters for healing), and your magicka pool will be better with food, but your spell damage is far too low. You need more like 2000 spell damage. And your magicka regen, also very low. You'll need more like 2000 there too to keep the heals going.

I'm colourblind and have been struggling to see boss AoE attacks on the floor as they appear. Anything I may not have spotted in settings that might help? Literally insta killed by bosses as NB.

So I do my first heist, forget to have the quest tracked, steal 2/3 of the items then follow my marker right back out of the dungeon, forgetting it wasn't the active one being tracked.

No color blind mode in the game. If you'd be on PC, you could probably get a SweetFX preset that'd work for you. Probably not an option on a console. Fuck with your TV's colors, maybe?

No. I'd recommend doing them asap.

Hold off on doing all dark brotherhood. You can complete tg just save the boxes they give you since they spit out leveled gear. To make thieves even easier get BoW from db.
>>
>>151760024
doesn't matter too much, the better gear is crafted anyways. but yeah BoW is worthwhile, and you get it straight off.

Does anyone here use any decent SweetFX? ESO has pretty good graphics for a MMO, but I kind of want more. Problem is, the few presets I've tried were oversaturated shit. And they made text look low res. And I don't know how to make my own, nor do I feel like learning.

Melee dps, sharpened is the go to most of the time. Same for magic actually regarding the staff. Not sure about dw magic and whether nirnhoned would be better since you're just using dw for the passive.

I was thinking Orc or Nord Dragonknight, but then I realized that last point kinda negates Orc, and Nords are just strong humans. Why would you want to have sex with just a normal human when you have access to fantasy races, right?

Hel, looking at the lore a bit deeper, Nords are the MOST human out of TES races.

What race/class combo would fit my, uh... "Needs."

Undaunted spamable stamina skill that do shit damage but gives you a buff connected to said ability, and said skill do more damage the more buffs you have. If you don't use the ability on the enemy within x secounds the buff vanish. So you will go from doing absolutely no damage to doing a fuck-ton towards the end against really strong bosses, and it will be fairly useless outside of bosses or bigger enemies.

Another member can use a synergy that gives them increased damage from Undaunted skills for x secounds.

Have two morphs, one magicka (still melee range) and one stamina that cost less.
>>
>>151794590
They're altmer, you can but they'll be imperial sized. Yes for large fantasy tiddies. Light armor is much better looking on big tiddies so that's a plus. You can even give them a nice ass and good hips.

I mean a pet that can be programmed to respond in different ways to events in combat situations. Like casting different abilities or positioning or engaging different targets based on what is going on around the player.

Though a Serana bumping into me all the time has a certain appeal itself.

I just got into it last week myself.

Honestly the games first impressions aren't all that impressive, and it runs very poorly. But it's not bad, it's alright.

No idea about end game stuff, but the questing so far has been fun. It's pretty cool how they voice acted literally every interaction, and you actually get to make choices in quests at times, like letting a person live or die or whatnot.

It's basiclly co-op skyrim if you just explore and quest in the open world. The same systems like going into caves, getting chests, finding stuff, etcetera.

Other than that:

>Dungeons

You've got Normal dungeons that anyone could run just for the fun of actually doing a casual dungeon, and then you have Veteran dungeons that will take you being max level and having decent gear on every member of your group while also knowing boss mechanics.

>Arenas

Basically, Horde mode. There's a single player arena that just lets you go ham on mob asses and two multiplayer arenas that require you to play as a group.

>Trials

Basically raids.

They're timed missions meant for a group of 12. Think of it like an extra large vet dungeon that's really hard and has a time limit.

Probably more to do with the fact that I'm off from college than how good the game is but I am enjoying it a lot so far. I like how "interactive" the combat is, like how I can manually attack, block, and dodge. The world is huge, graphics are pretty (for an MMO) and the music is really good. I love exploring because of that. The voice acting is also great, but I recommend the slow dialogue mod, personally I have a tendency to just read the text and skip the voice acting but that mod makes me listen to them.

I wish I could change my guy's hair and beard without paying the crown jew though
>>
>>151733678

It could work because of the stamina regen and poison damage resistance. Basically you would be a heavy armor/vigor build.

It's sad, Craglorn was released like two or three months after 1.0 launched, so most people have done it and out leveled it.

In the months after that it got nerfed hard because it was the original "end game PvE zone" and therefore ripe for XP and loot farmers. Back then, nirncrux was extremely OP and very coveted. Then they raised the level cap a few times, nerfed nirnhoned stuff significantly, and added new high level DLC content.

So that's what happened to Craglorn. Farming mats is still okay there. Lots of easy to get nodes.

TG initiation quest is a stealth mission that takes place in a seperate zone from the main world, but other than that it's all wayshrine travel. But it really doesn't matter. Do them when you want. Except maybe DB, because Blade of Woe is pretty awesome no matter the level.

How do you chug invis pots? from what I see they only give you 3 seconds with a 45 second cooldown.
>>
>>151865972
>3s
You are maxing them alchemy passives right? Nirnroot, blue shrooms, and spider eggs can be combined together to make longer invis. Medicinal use should also increase it further
>>
>>151866151
No I'm low level and new.
>>
>>151866567
That's why. Invis pots benefit greatly with points put into alchemy though the cd is garbage.
Doing the tg before the db makes db easier because of the guild passive about decreasing detection range. Interestingly getting BoW makes the tg mq easier.
>>
>>151866567
Well then it's probably because you're drinking low level potions. Higher level potions have longer durations.
>>
>>151866721
I've been having a good time with both of them it's just my sorcerer which was and currently is my main hasn't really felt like she's been fitting in and it makes me wonder if I should have gone nightblade. I've been messing around on an alt nightblade and they've both gone a lot smoother.

Kinda wondered if the whole master of stealth thing and sorcerer was like fitting a square peg into a round hole.
>>
>>151866913
Kinda? Nightblades have a much easier time doing it solely because of their stealth thing. Magblades especially. I'd suggest kind of holding off on db until much later so that you have an easier time overall and an easier time in fights if you get spotted
>>
>>151867095
Kinda putting them mostly on hold besides daily stuff to level them up.

Mostly wanted the BoW which was really early.

Need to get myself leveled up anyways, they are starting to want me to go to areas I've never been yet. I'm still early in the game, only just got into Haven in Grahtwood recently.
>>
>>151867408
Definitely go complete the main quest then. You'll be around or above fifty and the gear you find will be better as a whole
>>
any tips for learning recipes you don't know for the daily crafting stuff? for example I need to make a chicken breast, but I have no recipe for it, I also need like blessed thistle whatever that is, and a jode potency stone which just seems random.
>>
>>151866913
Nightblades, especially Magicka, will have a MUCH easier time doing all the TG and DB stealth shit than other classes, simply because their shadow cloak have an indefinite uptime. With enough recovery, of course. And they are better than magsorc overall, in my opinion. Still plays like a mage, if that's what you want to go for. Like a sneaky, shadow mage, or warlock.
>>
>>151867864

pillage cabinets and such. usually find a lot thieving.
>>
>>151867864
Buying recipes from guild traders is the fastest way. most of them are cheap, like >100 gold.

Blessed Thistle is an alchemy ingredient, collected from nodes all over the world. Also available at guild traders.

Potency runes can also be bought from guild traders, collected from nodes, or the simplest way would be to just buy them from Enchanter NPCs next to enchanting tables.
>>
>>151868094
Yeah, I went magsorc, cause I wanted to be a Necromancer, but Necromancy isn't an option.

Found out later that it's garbage, at endgame right now but that's whatever.
>>
>>151867864
Blessed thistle is just an alchemy ingredient, just walk around the wilderness and you should run into some, it's pretty common. Looks like a bunch of stalks with some green leaves. You should look around in guild stores for the chicken breast recipe, it's ususally pretty cheap. Or you might get lucky and find one to steal in random containers (trunks, wardobes). Look in NPC houses.
>>
>>151867864
You can buy the low level recipes from NPC chefs and brewers.
>>
>>151868374
>>151868446
>>151868546
>>151868706

Thanks anons, didn't know the crafting vendors sold them, found the chef and he had chicken breast. I've never seen blessed thistle out in the wild before, maybe it's my area but I'm about to leave it soon maybe I'll find some in the next area.

Didn't know enchanter vendors sold the stones, that makes it a lot easier to complete these.

How important is the DLC?

Is there DLC I should prioritize getting before some others?
>>
>>151892547
Orsinium is kind of a top priority since it brings endgame top tier gear via maelstrom and more crafting stations. Beyond that, Cyrodiil for pvp. Tg and db are mostly flavor though getting tg lets you use thief troves. SoH is really only two endgame dungeons. You could always wait to see if the thing about gold edition is true. The bit where it might be possible to upgrade to it in the in-game store netting you all five.
>>
>>151893071
Neat, how long do I have to wait for a gold edition announcement?

I might just get orsinium is why.
>>
>>151893294
2nd friday of september is when gold comes out as a game. Truthfully the thing about the in-game upgrade is, afaik, a rumor so don't hold your breath that much. Orsinium is definitely the big one considering it's the most expensive but adds the most, if nothing else you could probably get through most of the mq before 9/9 and see if you still want them.

Not really. If you're having a hard time finding stuff, turn off grass.

>>151918530
I'd say so, at least in the beginning. I personally don't use them any more, because I've played for so long that I can spot all the regs without it. Well, mostly. And I always run HarvestMap to farm, so I know where they should be anyway.

Also, endgame material nodes (cp150-160) are colored red, and the best place to farm them is Wrothgar, which is 70% white, so they stand out even without keen eye.

Alchemy benefits from keen eye the most, by far.

You will definitely notice a few more nodes with them than without them. It's not a huge benefit but you will get enough skill points in the end to have every crafting passive. Of course, if you're still leveling and don't have enough points to spare then don't take them yet.

Mag in general is worse than stam for dps these last few patches. It's fact. Doesn't mean that mag, especially a magblade, is worthless. With proper cp and gear you can do upwards of 35k dps, which is pretty damn good, and more than enough for vet trials and anything else in the game.

Most players can't pull those 45-50k numbers you see people like Alcast doing. You actually have to be good. Just rolling the meta class won't get you very far. So if want to play a magblade instead of stamblade, do it.
>>

I think mag is perfectly fine. It's only worse than stam if stam is using maelstrom.

I'm pretty new to this game. Is there a viable tank / damage dealer build for Templar that involves a two-handed main hand and a sword and shield secondary?

Stealth archery is right up your alley

Is stealth archery even viable?

I wouldn't mind if it was, being a Boomer, but DW just seems so much better.

>>151962226
She is, she's got such a nice figure. Such a petite and sexy mer.

>>151961889
stealth archery is possibly viable in endgame. In that the bow is semi-competent. Teso is the one game where stealth archery isn't the strongest thing.
>>
>>151961889
In PvP, oddly enough. In PvE it's shit.
>>
>>151964009
What about for single player pve mmoing?
>>
>>151964435
It will work. I mean you will still be able to do normal dungeons and the worst thing that will happen is that someone more experienced will roll their eyes behind their screens but that's it.

But you probably won't feel like a stealth archer since you won't be killing enemies as easy as in Skyrim or Oblivion. You won't be going around one-shotting enemies as easily.

>>
>>151964435
Bow is only good as a back bar weapon in PvE.

This means your bow bar will have your buffs, along with volley and poison arrow, which are 10 second DOTs.

Your main damage bar should be DW because it's straight up better than everything else at the moment.

>viable tank / damage dealer build for Templar that involves a two-handed main hand and a sword and shield secondary

Equip s&b on main bar. Equip 2h on secondary. Pick abilites and morphs you think you'll find useful as tank. Build done.
You will never be a tank AND a good damage dealer both. It is expected that tanks and healers also do some damage, of course. Which you will do just by using your abilities.

I am building stamina nightblade, just started playing like a week ago. Most of the nightblade spells say they do magic damage. Does that also scale with stamina? I have been dumping all of my points in to stamina, am lvl 14 now. Thought i was going to have to reroll.
>>
>>151968361
most of them get a stamina morph.

Also I have been using 2 Hand sword and speccing in to the 2h skill tree to use stamina abilities.
>>
>>151968361
>>151968479

While not most don't have stamina morphs, the most vital ones for a nightblade dps are.

No, Cyrodiil is just fun for me.

How much should I be investing in weapon abilities and how much should I be using my class abilities? I don't know whether or not to level up my health, stamina, or Magicka as I am not sure what I'll be using most.

>>151970248
If you're set on using a 2h, then you must be a stamina templar. Which means all your points will go in to stamina. Which also means that you will mainly rely on weapon abilities for damage. You will use a few class abilities, but entirely for buffs and defence.

What's the trick to Nightblade? I'm struggling in fights my sorcerer breezed through. Survivability seems the main issue.

I'm not really familiar with all the skills or which ones I should be using, I'm probably using the wrong ones or something.

Doing stamina and dual wielding.

Part of me wants to reroll an Imp DK, but considering how much time I've spent on this character, should I? Does the Red Diamond passive even matter in the grand scheme of things?
>>
>>151969153
>That's not very fun for me and I dont like having more than one character in MMOs since I'm not in highschool anymore and managing one is enough work.

I'm the same way. I've respecced my single character (Nord Templar) into being a Healer, Magic DPS, and Tank. Working on getting a Stamina DPS set together.

This game is the most friendly MMO I've seen to single-character players. You pretty much get to do whatever you want.

>But aside from cyrodil, I don't see any other PvP option besides faction vs faction. Did I overlook a battleground system?

Kinda? You would probably enjoy the Imperial City.

It's basiclly a PvP map with open-zone PvP in there. You'll be fighting this fuck-huge boss when all of a sudden members of the other faction drop in and start trying to take the boss from you.

>Fun is what I'm looking for but after 50 levels of straight questing and dungeons if there isn't anything else that's a shame.

Alright, then in that case, how do you feel about just exploration?

We're going to get a patch in a few days called "One Tamriel" that will open up the whole game map to any faction and any character at any level.

Basiclly, each zone will scale you to max level. You'll then roam around doing whatever the fuck you want. You'll be able to group with max level players, quest in max level zones, and just all-together bypass questing as a whole since you'll be able to just level off of exploring in caves/ruins/etc.

Once you've fully explored one zone's delves, just run up to a diffrent area and explore there.

Fight whatever world boss you want to, explore whatever cave you like.

Hell, under the new system, you could even level while just roaming around looking for a shit load of hidden chests in the world and lockpicking them for EXP. (Though, that would take a while.)

>>151976073
Stamblades have it rough. You're not going to have a lot of health recovery or main heals. Killer blade, siphon, vigor helps, but mostly you're gonna need to stay out of red circles and scream at your healer to pay attention to you while you kill the boss
>>
>>151976216
>It's basiclly a PvP map with open-zone PvP in there

Typo. I meant to say:

>It's basiclly a PvE map
>>
>>151976073
survivability for stamblades is pretty shit, especially at low levels. Get Vigor asap. And dodge all the time.

I started as maglbade, later switched to stamblade, realised that compared to stam, magblade is practically immortal and switch right back
>>
>>151976364
I'm just solo questing, sometimes world bosses or some quest mobs can be a struggle on my hp.

Was hoping I was missing some kind of buff skill to make me tougher or something, like lightning form.
>>
>>151976510
I was going stam because I heard mag was just trash.

Maybe I should switch.
>>
>>151976725
The mag is trash is probably related to endgame raid dps or endgame pvp where you want to minmax out the ass. Non-vet raids are doable with magic
>>
>>151976725
>>151936856
>>
>>151976725
It's as much a matter of gudgit as anything imo.
You're gonna push a lot more dps as a stamblade, the tradeoff is you're a glass cannon.
>>
>that feel when fought a nightblade (he had veteran alliance rank as far as I remember) and a sorc at the same time on my maggblar yesterday and killed them both
Feels good man, looks like I'm finally making it.
I don't even use any tanky gear, I'm sporting Magnus and Torug sets with mostly light armor.
>>
>>151976829
I guess I should switch then, I just want to do solo stuff anyways and just wanted the character to be that sneaky wraith that's never seen unless I want to be seen Dark Brotherhood kind of assassin. Master of stealth and all that.
>>
>>151976829
>Non-vet raids are doable with magic
So are vet raids. Mag is worse than stam for dps, but it can still do very well. It can't pull 51k on Mantikora, but it can do 30k+ much more easily than stam can, provides more utility and doesn't need sharpened Maelstrom DW to do it. Although Maelstrom staff will help, of course.
>>
>>151977029
>sneaky wraith
Magblade fits that to a T with how the stealth active works
>>151977214
Well I stand corrected then.
