What's better for solo if I want to play a Nightblade? Magicka/stamina, and is bow/dual swords fine?
I'm not really wanting to grind, just run around and do quests/dungeons/whatever anchors are called.
I haven't tried mage yet, but I know I don't want to play a Dragon Knight or Templar, even if they're better at soloing. I just dislike the way their abilities look so much.

How are nightblades as healers? making a vampire bloodmage sounds way more fun than making any other healer

How do you use bows effectively in this game?

What kind of build would you suggestion to have fun?
>>
>>161280258
their strength is putting on DoT's and AoE's and then switching to a higher damage weapon like dual wield

Fair enough.

What are pledges?

How do I become a vampire?

Why are people always using zone chat to find people for dungeons when they could just use dungeon finder?
>>
>>161285474
>What are pledges?
Daily quests you can take to defeat certain enemies/bosses in dungeons, completing them rewards you with a key that let's you open one of the Undaunted chests that contain random good loot and monster set pieces.

>How do I become a vampire?
Get bitten by another vampire

>Why are people always using zone chat to find people for dungeons when they could just use dungeon finder?
Activity Finder has some issues (every time you use it you get a 15 minute delay until you can use it again, even when a common glitch causes groups to disband/members to be kicked) and you at least know people that respond in zone chat are willing to communicate in some form (unlike Activity Finder PUG players)
>>
>>161285474
Sometimes Zonechat works faster.
Dungeon finder might take up 30+ Minutes, which is kind of long.

there was a period where you started on the mainland and picked up quests that led you out to the islands. nobody ever did them and the islands were completely desolate and pointless.

Also the scenery is so desolate and dull compared to AD and DC.

I'm looking at possibly doing both trials and pvp, alternating between the two or having 2 diff characters.

I've looked at pve stam and it looks like every class is hail, caltrops, and dw light attack weaving, with the difference being made up by whatever ultimate they have and 1-2 of the class skills. Are magicka pve dps the same? I suppose they're all going to have a back bar and a main bar for dps.

I'm currently playing a dragonknight, but I'm not sure if thats what I want or not. I guess I'm asking for a lot but would anyone be willing to provide some resource or briefly summarize how each resource/class combo deals damage or maybe in general where I could find this kind of information?

So I am thinking about buying the tamriel edition since it is $10.

How is the lore? Are there books everywhere? I have read that nothing is level locked anymore.

Is the gold edition absolutely necessary from the get go, or can I buy dlc packs later?
>>
>>161295126
You can do 95% of the content without minmaxing, so no.

But if you want to do the butt clenching hard content then yes.
>>
>>161297724
Lore is shit and will never be fixed
Books are everywhere, even the ones that aren't supposed to exist in the 2nd era
You can go anywhere now, everything scales to your level
Not necessary but the sale is a good deal if you really wanna play.
>>
>>161297724
You can buy DLC later, and I recommend you do. It's pretty fun.

There's a shit ton of lore and books to read. If you complete the mages guild you even get a new menu tab that lets you re-read all the books you ever opened. Sometimes when I'm in the mood I just do that instead of trying to look for more of them.
>>
Internet says the launcher the Steam gives isn't the updated version. Is this true?

If anyone is experiencing error 206, go to the game folder and delete Bethesda.Net_Launcher.Version

Also wouldn't it be a good idea to add the common errors encountered in succeeding OP's?
>>
>>161297724
I'd say it's worth the 10 dollar price tag.

As much as I didn't like gw2 I feel that the 5$ I paid was worth the price, sorta getting the same feeling here.

Game seems to be fairly decent, not great but not the most awful I've played.

Combat is pretty bad but the environment makes up for it imo. The full scale voice acting doesn't hurt either. Then again I'm only level 9 so far

Are tanks the most in demand like every other mmo or are there less healers?

The closest to a constant factor regarding alliances was the thing about AD but they were probably dominate on another server

entirely possible, if you actually read the motif books he's a central figure, embroiled in an entirely awful and absolutely out of character love triangle story that continues throughout them, but even in TES 3's lore he's been doing his Telvanni thing for thousands of years, he could have plausibly taken a vacation to the IC or wherever the fuck that shit was written to be.

never played GW2 but siege weapons can be used by both sides, you can also sneak up and set them on fire, and the world itself is set up with lots of choke points, not just the keeps, so there are commonly battles over bridges and narrow passes, stairways, etc

also, you can break through the keep walls anywhere rather than pushing a gate, I wasn't even grouped with these random shitters, we were just creeping bandits on the hills when someone came along and threw down a bunch of trebuchets, there was five of us but we were through in a few minutes thanks to that

There's also a book about two mages that want to go to oblivion. Psijics wouldn't let them use their gate bla bla. Book ends with them saying they will seek Fyr in Vvanderfel. So hopefuly we get to see him in Vvanderfel dlc.
>>
>>161308101
no, you can be whatever you want to be, a special and unique butterfly in the wind. like any mmo there's a meta once you get to the top geared raids or pvp scene, but for just getting into the game running around questing you can do whatever the fuck you want and make it work to an extent, hell right now I am playing through the assassin and thieves' guild questlines as a stealth templar, mixing light and medium armor with fucking cosmetics that offer no armor but I like the look of, literally no chest shoulders or head armor at all, no belt, assassinating fags with the blade of woe and using knockback spears of holy light to put distance between me and shit I need to run away from and it's working for me.

20% of your missing health
And the fire weakness is a considerable boost in fire damage taken which could be dangerous in some situations
Also mitigation buffs stack multiplicatively so 75% of whatever little is left after your standard mitigation isn't that impressive

>>161313657
well waterbreathing/walking was nice for a lot of shit, especially if you were a showy wizard like me who used speed/jump/waterwalk to skip like a stone from khuul to solstheim because fuck boats son, but the passive for argonians that gives 50% speed increase in the water is actually huge when it applies. it's almost entirely useless outside shadowfen but there it's actually nice for getting away from all the crazy shit that blends into the swamp and hides under trees and shit.

Imagine a minor pvp event like a warsong gulch or something, dres slavers vs a saxhleel village. exclusive waterwalk pots for the attackers, but the defenders have double speed in massive swathes of the map and can appear right under you because they're under the water, not on top of it.

every faction has completely different territory and while I haven't finished any of them, I assume they never converge except for the 'main' story with that fag prophet and the coldharbour shit.

Oh... That's a lot shittier than I thought.

I guess there's very little reason to become a vampire and getting fire resist as a tank then.


Oh a different note, can anyone answer some basic werewolf questions?

How viable is it to use it for fun in dungeons as a stamina dps? Is it hard to sustain or annoying having to feed after each pull?

How do your passive, armor passives work in WW? I assume your equipments don't matter during it right? Do racial/armor passive work despite that?
>>
>>161314450
Healer is fun because you do a lot of damage while maintaining heals. It's also fun in low level dungeons as you level because tanks don't always hold aggro like other MMOs, so you are really important to the group.

Leveling is super easy and more fun than other MMOs, because you can easily throw on a destruction staff and even have enough skill points to max that out along with restoration. In fact, it's recommended that you level those dps skills to help.

All in all, yes, leveling is super fun and easy. You can pick any class to heal and do all content without issue, but the hardest 1% of the game might require Templar.
>>
>>161314219
You used to be restricted by factions. That's no longer the case, but it makes more sense if you stick with your own faction zones for immersion.

Quests depend on the map, but I've enjoyed most maps so far. There's usually a map wide narrative that takes you across the zone, and choices you make actually matter and result in different dialogues/supporting npcs.

Quests are a lot better than TES single player games.
>>
>>161315428
"Tab target" here will not lock you on to an enemy, you still have to aim. But if theres a bunch of enemies close together and you want to hit a specific one, you can use tab to focus that one enemy, and when aiming at that group you can hit who you have focused

Not really.

It's probably comparable to skyrim. Only issue is when you run into a heavy particle dungeon with a group of casters that drop lightnings everywhere.

High Elf Mag Sorcerer or Redguard Stam Dragonknight for a first character?

What would be more easy peasy lemon squeezy and more fun?

>>161320184
Both are fun and easy. Unless you mean pvp. Then definitely not magsorc. Fun, but not so easy.
>>
Do Dragonknights have any heals, as in group stuff of healing in dungeons and shit if i don't want to roll DPS or tank?
>>
>>161320184
Mag sorcerer is probably easier since pets can tank and heal you.
Migh elf sorcerer is very common tho if you care about that.
>>
how the shit can i tell where gathering materials are? im running to every plant i see just to check if i can harvest it
>>
>>161321968
Yeah you can heal with any class. Healers do damage and stuff in dungeons whenever they can anyways.
>>
Why are wood elfs the cutest elfs?
>>
>>161297359
Maybe not "everything", but there's Jute, Torchbungs, two fishing spots, a Runestone, and one or two Iron deposits all within sight of eachother.

I accidentally attacked a guard right after I left the starting building, and while I was on the lamb I completely filled my inventory with the aforementioned loot and some nice magic gear from the skellies nearby.

I walked off the island with everything but enchanted greaves.

I see, probably mag sorc has problems with being squishy you mean?

>>161322186
I might as well roll that sorc if Mag is viable for both pvp and pve ot might be the best option for a newbie.

What about a Breton or Dunmer mag sorc? Would that be viable? Would I lose much dps from not picking High Elf? Are the Breton and Dunmer Sorcs also common?

Should I care what Alliance I'm in? Are the populations balanced? Dont really wanna roll a character in a overpopulated alliance.

A-anon, are you safe? Is someone threathening you to do that? Should we call the cops?

Why is only such a small part of Tamriel available?
How many years are they going to jew this game one little DLC area at a time?
>>
>>161323804
I didn't mean to suggest not to roll a race you like. Breton and dunmer are both fine races for mag classes as well. Altmer is the most min-max mag race, but Breton or dunmer is probably only 3% weaker in end game. As long as you don't go Orc Magicka or altmer stamina, you are fine. Even if you do the opposite combination, you are still mostly fine.

Alliances sorta matter from a role playing perspective. The world is open to you now, but if you want immersion, then you should stick with your own alliance.
>>
>>161324939
The game is massive as it is, tamerial is just huge.

The justification is that not all jarls/lords have joined their respective alliances, so some zones have not opened up to you yet.

if they made the entire continent in the base game a) it would all be 'first attempt' quality and we'd never see the major improvements to world building that we do in Orsinium, Hew's Bane and the Gold Coast, and b) they'd be forced to immediately branch out to retarded untouched shit like Akavir or Thras etc, and basically go full space-goat as WoW did. I'm glad they left themselves plenty of room to expand.

>>161325113
Well I'm absolutely new to the game so I don't know much. I'm leaning mostly towards either Altmer or Dunmer. I'm also considering a Breton but that's mostly because it's a normal human.

I'm wondering about Dunmer though because it seems everyone hates EP from what I read on the forums.

How is EP doing in PvP on PC EU? Does anyone know? I asked about balance in game on AD side but all I got was that EP suck, DC are retards and AD are masterrace. Figures.

Alright you faggots, brand new Xbone player from the free weekend here. Been working on a Nord Dragonknight and loving it so far. Few questions though:

>How does PvP work? Are the campains like side activities you can jump into anywhere or are there designated battle areas?
>Related question: how's the guild system? Is it just basic group of friends or is EVE level dickery/drama allowed?
>What's the best looking battle axe iyo?

If I wanted to go Aedra spear Argonian, would I just max stamina and morph everything to use stamina? I tried looking through some of those videos but it seems like you can do anything you fuckin' want.

That being said, I still want to be a little bit efficient.

>>161335071
So basically skills either scale with stamina or Magicka for damage. Utility or buff skills usually don't scale, so you can use them without investing into them usually.

For any important damage skills, you should match their version with your attributes.
>>
>>161333349
you got to Cyrodiil and you fuck shit up. but mostly you just get ganked or zerged down. fun.

there is no EVE level drama. but there is some drama, mostly between PvP guilds and top tier trading guilds example - TTM vs TTG on PC EU.

Maelstrom Axe. unfortunately, it's a unique style not found in motifs or anywhere else.

nothing is really worth getting. unless it's like a race change or whatever.

Hey guys, I don't know why but j hate having tons of addons/mods in games.

If you had to pick one or two that's YOUR personal favorite or you consider the most important/essential, what would you say?

I'm trying to see if I can get away of using none, but the default UI doesn't even show what buffs/debuffs you have which is ridiculous.
>>
I've been playing GW2 lately and now I keep jumping off high cliffs because I forget you can't glide here. ;_;

Get one of the UI mods like AUI - Advanced UI to show all kinds of stuff like minimap and combat data (buffs, damage etc).

I've been playing since the betas and never used a single addon, and I do veteran dungeons and trials almost sometimes pvp everyday.

>>
>>161338458
>I'm trying to see if I can get away of using none

you can if you want, although I really don't see why

console players don't have addons, they do fine. and zos said they are developing buff trackers for games default UI

addons aren't exactly essential, they just enhance the game, make it less tedious, more "streamlined", etc.

Sorcerers' pets don't scale with Magicka, right?

This might not be so bad. Relatedly, anyone know of locations that are like, crawling with Atronachs?

Stack lots of crit, lots of spell damage and spam Puncturing Sweeps until everything dies
Light armour for extra damage

Destro staff is not necessary, I use dual-wield swords for extra spell damage (not using any dual wield abilities) but if you go full DPS it could be useful on your back bar for the DoTs/elemental drain or something

nope. I mean, you'll be fine for questing and normal dungeons. Forget about doing any more difficult content if you try hybrid
>>
>>161349456
very shit. the only benefit from DW is the last passive that increases all damage by 2.5% per sword. that's why DW is good even on a magicka character. 2h doesn't have that passive.
>>
>>161349598
for a tank it might be, on certain builds. for DD or healer, never

DW is preferably because you can get two enchantments, though.

Is this the kind of autism required to see all the content in the game? I don't think I'm up for that.

>>161349965
So far the only things that seem appealing to me are playing like it's a solo game: pet-using sorcerer with Bow and 2H or DW once I hit lv15. Or, just full-mag Templar.

It sounds like full-mag Templar is the one that will have any kind of efficacy, but at lv 6 it's already super boring.
>>
>>161350147
sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about

>>161350197
>Is this the kind of autism required to see all the content in the game?
just the harder content. you can do what you want in this game, that's 100% true. but if what you want to do is to have a GOOD build, an effective build, a build that's viable to clear the hardest content in the game, there are rules to follow when making such a build.
>>
>>161350587
>you can do what you want in this game, that's 100% true. but if what you want to do is to have a GOOD build
So I'm either stuck with the Templar, or resigning myself to completing the game twice?

I guess I can deal with the latter. Might as well do the "fun" build first then and see if that makes me want to stick around.

how are magicka nightblades in pvp? can they do anything else effectively besides ganking, bombing large groups and running away?
>>
>>161351068
Well unless there's a way to get Weapon Skills to scale off Magicka or something, I might just wind up shelving the game, then.

sure, they can. if you are very good player, they can do lots. but they are pretty much the weakest class in PvP currently, and probably the hardest to play. still, I've seen what good players can do with them and they can be impressive. I've put mine on full crafting duty tho

>>161351306
why can't you just be a stamina sorcerer then, if you want to use weapons?
>>
So I'm browsing through the classes now... Is Nightblade the only class with a Stamina conversion?

It looks like Dragonknight, Templar, and Sorc all use Magicka. And hell even the Nightblade starts by using Magicka.

This makes the weapon skills all scaling on Stamina seem even weirder to me.

Is there just no reason to use weapon skills, or even stamina, outside of stamina Nightblades?
>>
>>161351869
every class can be either stamina or magicka. what made you think only nightblades could?
>>
>>161351975
What? How?

Literally the first thing I asked was whether it would be viable to go 1:1 on Mag and Stam as a Sorcerer, and rather than tell me I had alternative, I was just told "no".

Are you talking about the individual skills that have a stamina conversion, or is there some way to get all my shit to scale on one Attribute that I'm not privy to yet?
>>
>>161352152
All classes have skills which have stam and mag morphs. Go read fextralife.

Stam damage: disease, poison, physical
Mag damage: fire, frost, lightning, magic
>>
>>161352152
once you level up an ability enough, you can morph it to another version of it. some abilities can be morphed from a magicka ability to a stamina ability.

damage is scaled from not only your "weapon damage" and "spell damage", but also from your max resource pool. Meaning, the more total magicka you have, the more powerful your abilities will be, same applies to stamina. that's why you can't be a hybrid. you have to be either full magicka or full stamina, or else you lose a lot of damage for both kinds of abilities.
>>
>>161352270
Well yeah, some. That still shoehorns you into an archetype which may or may not be any good. It looks like only convertible skill Sorcerer has in Deadric Sumonning, as an example, is Bound Armor.

So yeah, I guess I could use only Bound Armor and Weapon Skills, and say I'm a stamSorc, but that's not what I was hoping for.

>>161352698
Bound armour, dark exchange, lightning form has direct stamina morphs

other buff abilities have stamina morphs, as in those buffs benefit stamina, while still using magicka to cast. which is fine. buffs don't scale from anything anyway.

and weapon abilities are the cornerstone of a STAMINA build. of course you are going to be using weapon abilities if you want stamina.

You have very little understanding about how the actual game works, how the builds and abilities work, and you just assume a whole lot of shit, that's pretty apparent. My advice - stop asking here and go play the game. Find out for yourself what works and what doesn't. It'll come pretty fast, and you'll either know that you like it or know that you hate it. Come back here for advice on HOW to build, once you have more understanding on what that even means.

Of rapid strike or bloodthirst: is one far superior to another? I'm wanting to to get some sustain that isn't just strife, but I've no idea what to get.

I either 100% super easily kill mobs, groups or no, or I die near instantly, usually to bosses. advice? I'm feeling pretty shit at eso/nightblade if I'm dying at what should be rather normal content, regardless of how instant it seems to be.

>just the harder content. you can do what you want in this game, that's 100% true. but if what you want to do is to have a GOOD build, an effective build, a build that's viable to clear the hardest content in the game, there are rules to follow when making such a build.

Can =/= should, I figure.

>>161354637
nightblade is the hardest class to play for a newcomer, especially a stamina nightblade, so just keep that in mind when you die to weak ass shit

get rapid strikes for maximum damage this is the morph you should be using in endgame group content as DPS, get bloodthirst for more survivability if you need it
>>
>>161355003
well you can't have everything. unfortunately what you want isn't also a strong build. but if what you want to do is just TES fuckery, you can always ignore dungeons. there's plenty of other shit to do that don't require good builds. besides, you can't mess up your character permanently, so you can always remake your bullshit build into a good one

also, stamina sorcerer is actually a fotm class these last few patches. crazy damage and survivability. and it's cool as fuck to play.

Many thanks, anon. I am very scrubby but also my friends are flakes and made me buy the game then barely play it themselves so i have to solo.

Secondary question for you two, involving respecs and such:
Cash- Is it like most MMOs where the difference from what you aim to be getting at the beginning is such vastly different from what you get at the end that you shouldn't even bother farming/hoarding it until endgame, and just buy what you want, or is it more gradual?
>>
>>161353436
Wrong

If I only like TES for the exploration aspect, will I like this game? The combat looks pretty bad and the lore has always been terrible. But I enjoyed GW2 for example because the environments were really cool, even if the end game was shitty.

Don't buy anything with gold, don't bother with repairs cause you'll always be getting better gear as you level.

Personally I think the only blacksmith/clothing/wood mats that matter are the cp140 and cp160 ones. You could do most vet dungeons with a good set of cp 140 armor and cp 160 weapons. Every other mat can be sold.

Alchemy mats are always important. The purple and gold upgrade mats are important. Provisioning mats aren't that important, they're very cheap to get.

Deconstruct everything not ornate, not for research, and not for your personal gear.
>>
should i get the tamriel unlimited edition or the gold edition

>>161356437
>don't buy anything with gold
elaborate?
cause I bought a horse and a couple soul gems as a backend in case I ever run out, but if you mean like armor and weapons and such, I don't.

never have bothered with repairs in any MMO.
>Alchemy mats are important
shit, i've kind of been eating those even when I have like 7
Provisioning I've just been shoving in guild banks for others to use.

I have been mostly deconstructing, I sold a few things to save up for horse.

Oh-
How is ledgerdemain for cash? Is it based around character level now and such worthless for cash till endgame or is it based on skill level? (will still obviously level it since it's daily, though)

WEWEWE
>>
>>161357008
Yeah, the only thing you should spend gold on is the horse, so you're good.

Because of hirelings, every skill with a hireling makes mats very cheap. However there is no alchemy hireling, so alchemy mats are expensive cause the only way to get them is to pick them off the ground. Recently they added a way to buy alch mats in the IC DLC using TV stones which should lower the price, but nevertheless alch mats are the hardest mats to get except for gold tempers.

Gold tempers can only be gotten from hirelings (rare) and doing crafting writs (less rare but not something you should be concerned with while you're new).

Legerdemain is actually not bad for cash, and you can make some gold by fencing stolen goods which are not based on any skill or char level, but my issue with it is that it give no experience, which you will always want until you reach max CP. You do want maxed legedermain for PvP cause of the hiding passive.

In regards to StamSorc, how would I build for that?

Do I just put points into stam, and use the weapon(s) I like, having shit pets and spells, and letting the skills just sit on my bar until I can morph them?

Or do I go magicka now and respec later?

For general gameplay flow, what do I do? I just hit level 11 and so far I've been dragging ass buying Motiffs and mats for petty crafting, and just generally not spending my time well.

Do I just blast through the MQs to level up, or should I start doing dungeon searches?

How can I get the fun out of a Templar ?
>>
>>161355503
Dude there are two pet skills, both are perfectly fine to use while you level and do quests even if you go 100% stamina. Just put them away in dungeons.

Actually the unstable clanfear is there to tank and heal you, and it works completely fine even for lfg dungeon groups.

Stamina sorcerer gets plenty of sorcerer abilities to use along with weapon skills. You realize you only have access to 5 skills and an ultimate per bar right?

So I want to pick up an mmo I can play casually, leveling in and not really giving a shit about end game I already have several games I am raiding or pushing end game/competitive content in.

Sure, you can play this casually, levelling experience is there, eso isn't about rushing to the endgame.

Stam sorc: hurricane, dark deal, bound armaments, crit surge
Max stamina points.
Why buy motifs or mats for crafting. You don't need to craft. Deconstruct everything.
Since it's your first run just go through each zone thoroughly, get every skyshard, do every quest.
I make money by doing DB sacraments and selling the motifs. Motifs in general sell for good money. I also sell my purple upgrade mats when I get more than 400.

Torchbug aura is probably hist bark armor. Or ebon armor. Or whatever that armor is that reduces magicka costs.

Bosmer stam sorc is fine. Stam tank is fine, literally anyone can as long as they have a taunt and something to not die. Spamming war horn with Tava's is a bonus.
Altmer magicka templar is fine

Of course there are non heavy armors that don't look like shit. I like the Abah's Watch medium armor coloured silver. Dunmer medium isn't bad either. The merc light armors are good too.

Bosmer are shit tanks, only dual wield and bow is viable for PvE. 2H for PvP.

Stamsorc is just a full stamina melee sorcerer that uses sorcerer buffs.

You either go full stamina or full mag, pick a class that has bonuses to the attribute you want.

If you'd do a Altmer stamsorc you would have a bad time for example.

So I want to make a stamina dragonknight. What can I do not to suck at lvl 10 PvP? Are there any ranged attacks or absorbs or something?

I only have a lvl 10 stamina nightblade and I basically get one shotted and do no damage.

How is survival on a sorcerer? I mean in questing PvE? I read that Sorcs are very squishy and don't handle solo play well.

It's either a DK or a Sorc, can't decide really. I'm kinda shit so I'd like it easy if possible.
>>
I just want to be a hardy dragonknight travelling the lands questing and waving hello to anyone who passes by

But the first 10 levels of this game suck absolute monster cock

Why is it that AD has no keeps, no outposts etc but always has the most points yet at the end they lose?

>>161373572
Not more skill-intensive, but if a tank fucks up, it's usually more noticeable and has bigger consequences. Like most MMOs, tanking is technically harder, though it is different. You just have more responsibilities.

Not only do you need good damage to clear things at reasonable rates, even lower level dungeons sometimes require everyone to know the mechanics, or you can wipe on bosses.

Tanks are in higher demands more so because everyone wants to be a badass killer instead of planning out defensive stats on their gear and etc.

>>161373346
Stam tanking is generally easier. How often you can block (critically important), move around etc all uses Stam, and tanking skills tend to be stam based.

Magicka tanking generally requires higher level skills, gears, and better knowledge.

I've not played either but know that DK stam tanking is easier of the two as well.

With that being said, do a google search and try to find links that are not ancient should do the trick.

Thanks. What are magicka based DK's good fr then? Still learning.
>>
>>161376586
>how is breton, comparatively?
Bretons are great for all Mag builds. Generally, so long as you're playing a stam race for a stam build or mag race for mag build, you should be fine. While Altmer is technically slightly better than Breton at magic (like 1%?), it does not matter for 100% of the game. You'd only feel a difference if you compare Orc mag build with Altmer mag build.

>A friend hates thalmor with a passion and wants to mage.
You guys should definitely not do AD then. There's no reason playing a race/faction you hate for that tiny difference.

>fuck that shit I wanna tank the shit out of things and not give a fuck. What's in highest demand?
You can definitely tank the shit out of things.
Dragon Knight are the most min-max tanks, though other classes can tank as well. I personally play a Sorcerer tank which is probably the least common of the four, and it's a blast still.

The game gives you enough skill points for you to max out other skills outside of sword and board, so I recommend going with a class that you think is the coolest/most fun. They can all tank well so long as you wear heavy armor, grab the right skills etc.
>>
>>161376781
The class selection screen is super misleading. The four classes are actually four bases for you to branch out your own builds on. You can generally go Magick or Stam for each of the four classes, then you can be healer, melee dps, ranged dps, or tank with each of the four classes as well.

Magicka DKs are good for ranged dps. I'm not sure if you can go Magicka DK tanking though.

Sorcerer, for example, can be stam or magicka tanks, so maybe DKs can as well?

what specs make the best use of werewolf and vampire?
>>
>>161376771
>Is it difficult to respec
No, you can respec at your faction capital temples.
You can choose to respec your morphs, stats, or all skillpoints.

>should I just be dumping skill points into everything so I can level them all up?
You can, but you might not have that many skill points early on. Just grab the ones you want and level those. ESO is pretty forgiving as far as playstyles go. You don't need to power level anything.
>>
>>161376586
>A friend hates thalmor with a passion

Has he only played Skyrim?
>>
>>161377064
Stam melee dps/tank for werewolves. You shouldn't try to tank for group content in werewolf though because you have no taunt. Personally, I use werewolf for fun while solo questing or exploring dungeons on my tank for fun. You can also melee dps in werewolf pretty well for group content.

Magicka ranged dps for vampire so you can get out of fires easier IMO.
>>
>>161376975
I see, thanks. I'm still learning, mostly just kind of wanting to try something different than what I usually play in MMO's, so either tanking or some sorta melee DPS that might be magic focused or something, idunno.
>>
>>161377129
To be fair the first High Elf you meet in Morrowind starts spouting shit about Altmer Master Race and dirty dark elves
>>
>>161377283
Honestly, the only things set in stone are race and class. You can respec at will all the rest. You can literally level up all weapon styles and what not then just respec and try out different ways to play the class.

A good versatile race that's actually really good for dragon knight is dark elf. They have passives that can go either stamina build or magicka build. So you can easily respec into the other type as you play if you wanted.
>>
>>161377476
Nord any decent for non tanking or just for the tank builds?
>>
>>161377538
Nord's good for tank and decent for stamina builds. The difference is tiny, so you can go for it if you like nords.

They are not great for magicka builds though, since none of their passives help with magicka. You can still do it for fun though, the differences are not big.
>>
>>161377623
Thanks, guess i'll flip a coin between Nord and Dunmer, or maybe redguard.
>>
>>161377129
nah, he played since morrowind (yet not that much of it for some stupid reason) and oblivion was his favorite. I think he hated how they looked quite a lot in that, then they only got worse looking and acting or something like it in skyrim.
>>161376892
>DK is most minmax tank class
can you avoid using spiked armor? I don't even like looking at that on other player characters.
But the main thing that would allow me to tank:
Which tank relies the least upon buffs, particularly with fairly short timers?
I should get an addon that shows them for me, but I'm really not great at keeping buffs/debuffs up anyway.

>>
>>161377858
They are rare at lower levels for the same reason that magicka sorcerers are super common at lower levels.

The class selection screen suggests DKs to go heavy melee and sorcerers to go light armor magic. So most players who are interested in playing casters have no idea that you can go light armor DK.
>>
>>161377823
The spike's part of their skillset, so you should probably go with another class then.

NB feels like blood assassin tanks.
Templar feels like a paladin obviously.
Sorcerer feels like a lightning/dark knight.

Use that as your basis I suppose.
As for buffs go, none of them really do that. You can probably get away with 1 or 2 very obvious buff skills for most of the classes.
>>
>>161378273
You're gonna have to elaborate on how NB tanks, while it sounds cool, i'm not really feeling it.
I think I'll just try a DK, at the worst I'll just only play it when my friend is on and I can ignore it.

>>
>>161379041
gank builds, where the whole principle of it is that you don't get hit. But I run vamp on all my mag characters, and it's not that bad. mobility is just one benefit, the most important one in my opinion is Undeath and to a lesser extent Supernatural Recovery. And Mist Form is godly on something like a magplar or magdk, which lack a good escape skill. less useful on magsorc and magblade, which already got good abilities for that. although I still sometimes use it on a magblade.

>>161384359
fighters guild abilities deal 20% more damage against daedra, werewolves and undead. mostly it's not a huge problem, as not that many players run shit like Silver Bolts. but a lot of players run dawnbreaker, one of the most powerful ults in the game. being hit by a 20% more powerful dawnbreaker won't be the highlight of your day, trust me

however, that alone shouldn't discourage you from being a vamp. their passives are useful and have their place in certain builds. and if you're good, you won't get hit by dawnbreaker that often.
>>
>>161384627
there's plenty of shit to do that you don't need high level for. and chances are that by the time you're nearing the end of that content, you'll have leveled up plenty

good to know. this character will probably never do pvp.

I have vanilla on my cart.

Two questions since I already read the levels scale to you so I can go wherever I want.

Can I do dungeons/raids solo? Like, they scale down to one player.

Are there flying mounts?
>>
does magicka dk get fun or is it just flailing my retarded little flame whip around forever?
>>
>>161385681
you can do some dungeons solo, if you're good enough. pretty much normal mode of every dungeon can be soloed by a competent player. but they are designed for groups of 4 and don't scale down. can't do trials solo. no flying mounts
>>
should I be investing in crafting professions early or should I just dismantle all my gear and sell the materials?
>>
>>161386212
only investment early on should be researching traits, because that shit takes literally months to max. you won't have enough skill points for everything. research traits/decon gear, keep the mats, maybe to crafting writs. also, I recommend NOT refining raw materials, until you have leveled up your crafting and maxed extraction passives. if you wait and refine everything when those passives are maxed, you'll probably make a whole lot of money. depending on how much raw mates you've saved up and how lucky you get.

reason for this is because raw materials of any level, when being refined, have a chance to give you a gold temper. these gold mats are used to upgrade gear to legendary, or can be sold for decent cash. tempering alloys go for ~11k each, drough wax for ~8k rosin for ~4k. you likely won't get any of them without those passives.

>If a guard kills you do the take away all your gold?
They take away the gold equivalent to your bounty if they kill you. (there is no "paying with your blood")

>Is there any way in game to lose all gold?
If your bounty is high enough and a guard defeats you, yes.
>>
I just got off the island. Should I start doing the thieves guild shit immediately for money or do I need some skill points for it first?
>>
>>161386998
you can do it immediately but skill points in legerdemain or medium armor stealth helps a little

Can someone give me a rundown of factions on PC EU? I'm mean in terms of community?

I started in AD and true I didn't get far because only level 9 and still on Auridon but I noticed people are very politically correct there. A group was talking in zone how awesome the AD queen is a "fantastic strong woman, we need more of such in games" then they talked how they liked how the storyline fights against racism and such, then when some Russians started spamming the chat I asked them to speak in English, very politely and then a whole load of English speaking people jumped on me that I'm a racist, to respect their culture and language and over all started whiteknighting.

Are Redguards that much better at being stamina Dragonknights than Imperials?

Is buying the Imperial upgrade worth it?

I'm not sure I want to play a black guy.

Best alliance lore wise for a Imperial would be DC, no?

Or should I just fuck it and go Redguard since its the best stamina class? Would my dps or effectiveness in PvP decrease heavily if I go Imperial?
>>
>>161389201
redguards split the atom with a sword. Go redguard
>>
>>161389201
If you choose imperial over redguard for a stamina DPS you'll miss out on reguards base stamina, stamina regen and stamina regen on hit for 3% of your max stamina. Which is a great passive.

If you have 30000 stamina, you recover 1000 with each it. That is something very valuable for a stamina dps.

It's not worth golding armor unless you're literally swimming in it.

TBS is not the greatest stam dps set. It has 2 irrelevant set bonuses (hp and magicka) and is only the greatest by a small margin IF you have war horns up all the time, which is not happening unless you are in a top tier trial guild.

Night Mother's Gaze has higher DPS than Hundings but your Rally and Vigor will heal for less.

Hundings is still imo the best general stam dps armor.

Yeah I guess I was looking at the crafted sets, it's a common question hundings vs NMG vs TBS.

I guess twice fanged is about 1% better than NMG (seeing as 650 armor is about equal to 1%). But NMG buffs your team's stamina DPS as well because it's armor reduction. So they're slightly different, I wouldn't say one is better than the other.

So if I wanted to play a warrior, a KANG stam DK would be the closest?

and a typical rogue/thief character would be a KANG stam nb?

would it impact much if i want woodnigger stam nb or orc stam dk?

how are aimed attacks in regards to bow skills? do you 420 dopescope people with free aim or is it targeted, shoots in front of you so you just have to align on the x/y plane or what

Dont know wtf is KANG, so cant answer. But aiming works as you'd expect of an MMO. You aim and it hits what you are aiming at. There are no headshots, so you dont have to be accurate, just aim at the guy and that guy will get hit.
>>
>>161407104
kang = redguard

how important is race in regards to what you play?

if I understand correctly going stam = melee or bow, while DK would be a warrior while NB would be a rogue?
>>
>>161407193
Race isnt irrelevant, but how important it is depends on how hardcore about min/maxing you are willing to get. Redguard is the best stamina sustain class. Correct on stamdk/nb.
>>
>>161406868
Either redguard or bosmer is fine for stam, redguards are slightly better because they have stamina regen and so can spam abilities a lot easier.

stam/DK would be warrior-ish, and stam NB is pretty your your typical rogue. Orcs also make fine stam DKs, especially if you ever plan on tanking.

>aimed skills

It's a pseudo free aim. You can aim where-ever, but there's a slight bit of auto-aim to it if your aim is near something you can shoot. If your cursor is kinda near your target it'll correct the aim and shoot them instead of the air five inches to the left where you actually aimed.

>>161407413
Sorta. If you pick up all the skills and gear you could swap them out when you want to change roles, but that'd also mean resetting your champion points as well (a post-50 leveling system that gives stat boosts - obvs a tank wants tank stats there and not DPS ones).

So it's doable but a hassle.

If I wanted to play a warrior, what DK skills should I take? the ardent flame?

you only get a set amount like in GW1 or is it unlimited like traditional western MMOs
>>
>>161407413
You can primarily tank and have dps as a fun leveling set or easy dungeon set. You have enough skill points to level up dual wielding, for example, along with sword and board. You can even grab enough points to level up medium armor for dps along with your heavy armor skills.

>>161407193
Not necessarily. DK can be build to be Mage or tank and melee dps. Same with NB.

Technically the best tank class is DK stamina, but other tanks are viable.

Fun fact, best roguish melee dps right now is actually stamina sorcerer for example.

A Mag or Sta Sorc a Sta DK or a Mag/Sta Templar?

I'm leaning towards either Sta DK or a Sta Sorcerer.

Is it worth it to start the game as a newcomer? I bought it once but the game was just too boring, nobody ever wanted to group and the pvp was just meh-tier?

>>
>>161412386
Depends on what you want to do and what bored you anon. I don't like the PvP but I can't speak for you, people group when it's advantageous to do so (like fighting world bosses or sharing daily quests) but no one is going to group with random strangers for normal questing. Though if you really want to wander with strangers badly you can visit Craglorn which is basically an entire zone of group content.

>what's the point of factions
PvP is still locked to faction. Unless you buy the bullshit that lets you make any race in any alliance a redguard will still be on DC, dunmer on EP, etc.
>>
>>161412535

No seriously, are there maybe any tips to make pvp more interesting? Or is there something special for grouping up in this game? Because no matter where I went everybody just wanted to play alone. I even got insulted once, just because I asked a guy to do some quest with me.

Oh and I think at the start it was rather clear that the races themselves were at war with each other. It was unthinkable that an Argonian would be able to fight with a Breton. Because of the different factions.

Personally I don't get why they changed that? I think limits like these made those 3 factions unique and gave them all something special.
>>

But why give the option anyway? Its just retarded when I see some Argonian out of random and he is on my side all of the sudden.
>>
>>161412870
>It was unthinkable that an Argonian would be able to fight with a Breton. Because of the different factions.
Except for the fact that every zone features bunches of different races, including the ones from opposite alliances. There's even a questline in one of the Valenwood zones dealing with some Argonians who decided "nah, I'm not teaming up with the dunmer who enslaved me" and decided to chill with the bosmer instead.
>>
>>161413083

So? Those were just a hand full probably, no reason to go so far and offer something like that to players.

>>161412721

Okay sounds, really boring... why play a MMO if you just play alone anyway? Might as well just play skyrim.

so I'm 18 now and have never done dungeons because I just screw around in this game like it's any other ES game. are you expected/is it optimal to dump all your points in health if you're tanking? all the guides* I've seen have said to go full stamina or full magicka.

I don't really care if people bitch at me if full magicka is viable, but I would rather not go in and be a paper doll if it isn't.

*all of the guides I've seen have also been absolute shit. I found some decent tips here or there but it just seems to be a dickwaving contest about what build is the best flavor of the month, which is probably par for the course with this level of customization

>>161412386
Might as well give it another shot. After considering it for a really long time, I tried it on free weekend and ended up buying gold edition mostly because I wanted the thieves guild dlc.

I still cannot decide if I like the game enough to play it seriously (and I don't even know what that entails). Leaning towards no. I'm not really in love with the combat but it might just be my class (mag templar). On the other hand I've spent a lot of time on my character even if my level doesn't show it so I'm not eager to reroll either.

Race isn't some elemental alignment or something. There's plenty of room for people to decide that they'd rather fight for a different alliance. For example the EP only has Eastern Skyrim, a western Nord from Makarth or Solitude might decide to throw his lot in with DC, an alliance of Men (and some orcs, I guess) rather than elves and lizards. It's an RP choice.

>why play alone
There's a difference between playing alone and not playing with strangers anon. I only really group with my friends/guildmates. The only time I'm in a group with random strangers is in pub dungeons or to get quests shared for world bosses.

All you're really expected to do is your job (stay alive, keep taunt), I've started doing pledges on my tank and I've done a few veterans on the easier dungeons and I have 40mag 24health, literally wearing green gear and EZmode sets (5plague doctor 2pirate skeleton 5 'of the sun', all with shitty mismitched traits) tanking is definitely the easiest job of all in a non-experienced setting because a shitty healer or DPS bring the team down a shitload more

>>161413954

As I said I never got that far so it was just an assumption that they're only a handful based on that how you said it.

But even if there are whole villages I wouldn't o so far and give regular players such an option. Those Nords you mentioned are probably just a minority, based on the rest of the faction. I kinda get it that it makes them unique in their own right, to be part of that particular faction but I'd also say they are "just something on the side."

Not to be taken fully serious, since they simply are no major party in the current war. Well and you usually have explanations why some races fight for a certain faction or that they fight in that particular faction because they want to fight another race and so on.

So no, I'd say its still stupid and those people who really can't live without something so minor are really just childish. So you are a bit limited so what? Its reasonable. No reason to complain.

Friends/Guildmates like in Real life friends or what? MMO's are supposed to be a way to get to know other players and I mean you all have a common goal more or less, so I really don't see why some people are afraid of "Strangers" in a videogame.

>Those Nords you mentioned are probably just a minority,
So why not allow the players to play that minority? Or even just random unaffliated strangers. I don't know if you ever made a non-EP character but if you did you might have wandered into the Fighter's Guild on Auridon or in Daggerfall and noticed that the guildmaster is an Argonian. There's neutral parties like that, the FG is just interested in fighting Daedra, the Mages Guild in doing mage shit, there's plenty of room for players to be what they want - you know, like a TES game.

The actual number of players you see actually fighting for a faction that isn't their race's faction is small, a minority, because you have to pay shekels for that. Sure anyone can go to any zone and do quests there but most of those quests make sense for anyone, especially any neutral party. I don't have to give two tugs of a dead dog's dick about the Aldmeri Dominion to look at an Anchor slammed down in the middle of a village in Grahtwood and decide "Oh, I should stop that invasion of the mortal realm by fucking demons."

>who really can't live without something so minor are really just childish.
I'd say it's more childish to complain that people can do what they want because you don't like it, t b h.

>Friends/Guildmates like in Real life friends or what?
Yes. Because I like to play with my friends and not some random schmucks. Occasionally a meet new folks but that's typically through guilds, where there's usually some level of filtering (we share the same guild, after all, our interests have to be somewhat aligned), rather than some rando.

Yeah well I think the answer you were looking for originally was that the people who use it are lazy as fuck like me or they just plain don't know what's better.

I absolutely loathe having abilities on my bar that give me buffs I have a set of gold Treasure Hunter
I enchanted both my swords with power glyphs because swinging twice to proc the right sword was too much efffort (I would barely light weave at all if they didn't have those glyphs)
I have magelight slotted instead of the Templar ability I should be using because the duration is too much effort to keep track of
Hell I've slotted Combat Prayer about 5 times in the past 400 dungeons, this is one thing I will defend aggressively though because anyone who gets his team in the buff line more than 70% of the time has absolutely not had the full PUG experience complete with 2 long-range kiting DPS bowmen and a werewolf tank

But the real scary thing about all that is I still put out more damage than the average DPS I play with

PvP is a different story though, I play long range (really fucking long range with the 10 Assault attack range passive and a propelling shield) and not having to throw an offensive buff like entropy or the templar one helps me tremendously with nuking

It was my understanding that before the events of Skyrim they wrote in that Red Mountin erupted and Vvardy sank (basically as a 'fuck you' to Morrowind fanboys). It was also mu understanding that ESO takes place after Skyim, meaning after Vvardy's sinking.

Because funny accents are an easy alternative to actually having a strong theme for your character and an easy way to stand out that is quickly lost when everyone does it but they don't think that far ahead and since most people on an NA server are 'Murrican the first accent that comes to mind is Southern because it's an easy one to type out. It's also why ACH, AYE BE SCOTTISH or BLOODY 'ELL, I'm ENGLISH accents are common. They're recognizable, add flavor when someone lacks anything else to draw interest and they don't take much thought to type out.

Alright well I finally did a couple duels (I'm level 8) while waiting for the daedra spawns outside Vulkhel Guard, and, goddamn, I got wrecked. Hard.

The number to the left of people's name is their level, right?

If so I got smoked by a level 5 Templar whose greatsword was hitting me harder than his damned Magispear.

And my shit wasn't hurting anybody. Like I don't think either of the three people I fought lost a single HP.

One dude was just being cheeky and reved me after. I think he was like lv50-something, but the other two were 6 and 5 and they whooped my ass just as bad.

P2W, or am I just that unoptimized somehow? I mean at level 8 with 8 levels in Magicka my spears ought to have been doing SOMETHING, right?

I figure at the very least they were buffing with food/drinks and healing.

Well the dudes I fought had some ornate-as-fuck armor so that probably explains the disparity.

If it ain't P2W, then I assume it was guild-enabled twinking.

I mean, if they're gonna pick a fight with someone 2-3 levels higher than them, I assume they knew the shit's in their favor, some way or another.

Do some googling please. Stamina sorcerer dps is literally FOTM right now.

Stamina classes will always use 2-3 weapon skills per bar, so that leaves 2-3 class skills/alliance skills per bar to use.

Off the top of my head, you got hurricane, critical surge, dark conversion, bound aramanets to choose from.

For leveling or soloing, you also have summons to tank stuff for you.

Tank sorcerer is also viable, and you can go Magicka or stamina.
>>
>>161455276
>a better build
Dude, we're talking about being level 5-8.
>>
>>161437123
For PvE yes, you go dual wield and bow as a back up. For PvP you can use what you like since stamsorc is very flexible

Medium armor for pve yes but there are plenty of pvp builds that use heavy gear also. As I said, flexible.

I wouldn't recommend a stamsorc as your first character though.

Unless you go full Mag and respec when you have the skills you need.
>>
>>161432202
Both are good to buy IF you need them RIGHT NOW. I think it's better to wait for a sale on them and you don't need it for your first character. Imperials are best tanks though but only that (for min Max)

Hairstyles and Adornments are also a good buy if you like to play dress up.

Then there is the Hist DLC but that you should get at lvl 50.

That's all really. I'm assuming you already got all Gold DLC.

Ah yes maybe Vampire and Warewolf DLC. You don't need it though, just for RP or stuff, it's not OP.

every class will have that. it's called a "spammable" and it's just how combat works. you have a reliable, low-cost damage ability a spammable that you spam in between your light attack weaving, re-apply any necessary AoEs or DoTs. templar's spammable is puncturing strikes. you could swap that to something like force shock, if you're a magplar, but it will be less effective.

A couple of questions regarding builds /tesog/:

I wanted to run a StamSorc but from the looks of it every build uses Lycantrophy or Vampirism. Is it really required?

Is Lyc/Vamp required for every build now?

Do I buy both of them now? Are they that useful for PvP?

I wanted the StamSorc because the gameplay looked fun but if warewolf is required I might pass on it, dont want to make my first character too complicated.

Also are StamSorcs effective even without proc sets? Will I be fucked and need to reroll when they nerf or change them?

Fuck I like the magick assassin/warrior gameplay but afraid I'll end up with a useless Redguard StamSorc in the end.

tl;dr Do I need Lycantrophy on a StamSorc and are they good even without FOTM builds? (Like after a nerf, will I still be able to be more or less effective?

>Fuck I like the magick assassin/warrior gameplay but afraid I'll end up with a useless Redguard StamSorc in the end.

that's always a possibility in this game, where fotm/meta changes so fast. just half a year ago stamsorc was the worst class to be. you just never know what kind of dragon dildo will ZOS choose to fuck you up the ass with when they release the next update. could be one of them small ones, or it could be the extra-large Hanns The Mandake. need to be prepared that your chosen class will be considered bottom tier at some point.

Then that's good I think I'll try StamSorc out then.

Well as long as bottom tier is viable for solo and group stuff then its okay. As long as it's not "delete that character" tier then I'll manage.

See I'm asking because there is a major patch coming early next year jan/feb so I dont want to build a character and then it instantly becomes shit.

I really dont care about FOTM and being OP, I just really like how StamSorc gameplay looks like and the fact that I have so many weapon choices.

>Oh Why not ?
becuase you can literally get werewolf/vampire for free. that crown store shit is scam for new players. and it's a one-time use as well. and you can't have both at the same time, obviously

if you want to be a vampire or werewolf just ask in zone chat especially bangkorai, rift, reaper's march or ask in guild, or even here on /tesog/, just mention your server. you will get one for free or you'll end up paying a couple thousand gold at most.
>>
>>161466684
magblades are currently the worst DDs for pure damage output. they are also one of the most difficult classes to play well because of the need to micromanage more than other classes. shame, because they are fun.

they really need a buff

>>161466610
>As long as it's not "delete that character" tier then I'll manage.
that never has been and never will be the case for any class. even the absolute shittest build on the bottom-tier class will be perfectly fine for solo content and normal group content

there aren't enough skill points to get everything, so not a good idea. but you can respect them at any time in the capital city temples. cost is 50g per 1 point.

Is Stamplar nord tank in heavy armor (with SNS or something) good for running solo, or is it too slow?
should I be a magicka and/or non tank build instead?
I still want to run nord for that bit of extra survivability, though.
>>
>>161467376
If you went magicka tank I think you'd have the best time.

Only two templar skills morph into stam, templar tanks love mag abilities like sun shield, healing, rune focus etc., and nords extra stamina will still be appreciated for 1h+s skills/blocking.

Then you could also go magDPS or even healer if you wanted, but trying to do all three will really spread skillpoints out. Sticking to DPS while soloing and still being able to tank if you want to would be your best course of action imo.

Literally nothing wrong with a Nord; HP, stam and damage resist are useful for everyone, just means you wouldn't get absolute top dps but neither will shit players who minmax, so who cares

Hm, alright.
I'll probably stick to DPS i suppose, then, since I'm mostly soloing. wish I actually played with people, particularly ones I know. most aren't into the same mmos.
When I'm soloing, should I be running light armor? The passives seem too good for magicka builds to pass up at all, it's why I was thinking stamtank was better.
>>
>>161469259
>soloing

I don't run with a guild and only have a few ingame friends, none of which I really run dungeons with, and I tank, dps, or heal whenever I like. I only recommended magicka tanking/dps because it's the fastest and IMO the most effective way to templar tank. If you want to go stamina you'll probably have an easier time tanking and stamplar dps is still quite fun, just slightly less impressive self heals.

Until you put skills into armor, use whatever is best and level all of them. But yes, magDPS/healers use at least 5 light armor, stamDPS pretty much always use 7 medium armor, tanks use at least 5 heavy armor

>The passives seem too good for magicka builds to pass up at all, it's why I was thinking stamtank was better.

Spell crit and spell penetration aren't that useful for tanks, but both are super important for dps and spell crit is excellent for healers. Tanks also don't need to worry about dealing damage anywhere near as much as healers do, so the focus is on heavy armor.
Likewise stamtanks won't use medium, they'll also use heavy. Surviving is more important than weapon crit.

If you want to tank, give it a shot. If you don't like it, or don't succeed, templars make great stam or magicka DPS

Thanks for hat, you saved me lots of crowns.

>>161466832
Thanks. I think I'll roll that StamSorc then.

Only question is should I level him as magicka till I get enough points and unlocks to have a proper stamina character or go for stamina from the beginning?

How hard will it be in solo PvE?

Also a question about stamina Dragonknights - how is their AoE? Is it decent for PvE?

Are they fun in PvP?

StamSorc and StamDk are the two classes I;m considering.

So is the assault on Coldharbor supposed to happen only after you finish your faction questline across every one of your faction's provinces?

It's very easy to level stamina sorcerer or sorcerers period because you have pets. That unstable clanfear will get you very far tanking for you against hard enemies.

Remember for the first 10 levels or more, your stamina and Magicka are barely different, so your Magicka spells are gonna be perfectly okay as far as scaling goes until you get the stamina morphs.

I personally leveled a stamina sorcerer since the free weekends, and I'm level 47 now.

I initially grabbed tanking gear and skills until level 15, then I grabbed a 2h sword and started putting points in that too.

I get bored sometimes, so I respec 2h into DW and back whenever I feel like it.

In dungeons, I tank, and I pretty much use dps stuff for questing. Pets' damages don't scale because I'm stamina, but they are still very useful for soloing exploring.

Dungeons give A LOT of experience for both the daily bonus and the quests in them. I've done all the dungeons at least once at this point since tank queues are instant.

Don't sweat it though, because you can only do those quests once a day, so you will eventually get those dungeon quest experience. If you have not, make sure to do a random dungeon at least once a week. The bonus daily lfg experience alone levels my guy fully.

You shouldn't do them solo leveling. That's only end game people in trial gears.

You also miss out the daily LFG experience, which is half the reason to do them for leveling. Just queue yourself up as dps

Why did ZOS make the main story about a daedric prince invading Nirn which is just basically rehashed TES:IV story? Why didn't they skip all that crap and just make ESO all about the war between alliances. I mean, THAT was what the Interregnum was established to be all about. No leadership in Cyrodiil, the Second Empire falling, widespread anarchy, everybody going stupid and crazy, and wars breaking out left and right.

I think it could have been a lot better of a story. Currently it feels like the war is just happening somewhere in the background, and Interregnum, probably most violent and bloody period in the history of Tamriel, has a pretty fucking peaceful atmosphere. And not once did it feel like Molag Bal was actually fucking Tamriel up. Like there's the anchors, but you show up at one, straight outta Stros Mkai or wherever, dressed like a hobo, and close that shit right up, no problem.

Pretty disappointed desu. I wish they take alliance war story further somehow, with DLC or whatever.

No comment on Molog Bal, but have you done any quests, anon? 90% of the quests on the map are about factions fighting each other.
>>
>>161476183
Pretty much most of it. You can do all he quests and exploring yourself or with strangers in zone chat. Lfg groups are fine for all except the hardest content. You can probably still just make a group with strangers for those.

Biggest thing you miss not being in a guild is probably the guild trader. There are no auction houses in the game except guild auction houses. So trading guilds are good for you to just trade wig everybody. It's not critical though.

>90% of the quests on the map are about factions fighting each other

I've done every single quest in the game. 90%? Try 10%. Of those MAYBE 10%, I can recall only a couple quests that had my interest, where I though "alright, cool, now this is something". Start of EP. That one AD quest where you had to rescue a DC deserter. And those were side quests of no significance and barely any resolution. The meeting between alliance leaders before final assoult on Coldharbour was a joke.

I'm currently a cat stamblade for my first run and while I'm having fun I was wondering if it's possible to make a samurai-ish char here. I played a samurai class in a MMO in my teens (which took me 2 years to achieve but anyway) which was a morph of Thief, Warrior/Knight and some Martial Arts class.

Historically speaking wouldn't be very accurate, obviously, but I was wondering how I'd go on about this.

Is there such thing as a tanky dps or should I focus in only one? If so which one?

Was thinking of going health-stam (not sure about the ratio) DK Nord, primary 2H greatsword, secondary bow; r8? I've seen "go mag" here and there b-but Samurai were focused on speed and defense which I interpret as Stam and Health...
>>
>>161478594
Why would you lie on a Korean origami board?

The entire first and second zone fight the DC. Do you read the dialogues in quests? I know you hate reading but come on.
>>
>>161479914
2H/bow is a good combo in PvP, but in pve dualwield/bow blows it out of the water
regarding being a tanky dps, that's not really achievable without gimping your dps, so I don't know what your end goals are, but you have to really commit if you want to run serious pve content
Also, check out akaviri crafting style, it looks like samurai armour a lot
>>
>>161480102
>The entire first and second zone fight the DC

I remember now that EP started out fighting DC for a while, even after starting zone, which I already mentioned. The fact that I forgot only shows me how entirely forgettable those quest were. And the fact that you brought that up tells me that you haven't even played other faction zones yet and seen how entirely absent of any alliance war quests they are, aside from a few even more minor ones.

Playing DC for the first time you might even forget that there even is a war.
>>
Compilation of things this game needs new:
>Fix PvP
>More locations/DLC
>More classes (so far I've seen Bard, Barefist class)
>Ability to dye weapons and hair
>More cosmetics/appearance options, whether bought or free
>More voices/ability to change pitch
>Fix your fucking quest bugs
>Lower or remove 15min group finder thing
>Russian zone chat

Any other to add? This is what I've seen and some of my own.

>moving the goalpost this hard.

I have a very specific example on how 90% of quests are about the alliance wars. Other zones also feature tons of alliance war quests. I have never tried to argue that they're awesome, since that's all subjective. I've personally enjoyed the quests comparing to other MMOs.

So first two zones of all starting areas are about alliance war? And later zones go into their politics? And you fight a lot of other faction NPCs... THAT'S 90%!!!! of the game's quests?

Ok. You've only played EP, that much is clear. Why would YOU lie on a Korean origami board?
>>
>>161481172
>First two zones of all the starting areas
no, they don't only EP has that. DC is all about wild necromancers and dream people in their first two zones. 3rd is vampires, 4th is necromancers again, and some imperials, 5th is imperials and crazy bretons again. AD is Ayrenn being shit at her job in both zone 1 and 2, no other alliances involved. zone 3 was just total bullshit, I don't even know what the fuck was going on there. bosmer, man. zone 4 I don't remember, I think it was more bosmer dream bullshit, zone 5 was khajiit being on drugs and choosing who leads them based on who does drugs the best or something.
>>
>>161481583
>only EP has that

Which is why they are the best faction for story
>>
>>161481583
>>161481331
You're right, I forgot it's about blood thorn faochu stuff.

Fine, 90% is an exaggeration, but frankly that'd be incredibly boring. It also won't make that much sense if EVERY zone has only alliance war stories, since the invasion forces should be engaging mostly on the front lines.
Point stands, however, that a significant amount of quests are about alliances unlike what that anon initially suggested.

>>that a significant amount of quests are about alliances

unfortunately, there isn't. although that would depend on what you think is significant I guess. at later zones there are basically no quests at all about war. EP had the most war quests of all alliances, and they didn't get that much aside from the start.
