I've been thinking of playing this again, I haven't played since before any of the DLC expansions came out. Is PC still where everyone plays, compared to PS4? And do people find it best to buy the DLC, or subscribe for it?

Sub if you plan to play a lot, buy DLC if you prefer to play little by little over long time, I don't think there's other consideration. Crafting bags? ESO is pretty popular on PS4 so "everyone ", I don't know, but PC isn't dead or anything

IMO way more goons play on PC than PS4/XBox. And yeah, sub at least one month, then try out all the DLC. If you're a crafting sperglord like me just sub outright, the craft bag is way too drat valuable than what we're paying for right now. So much free space. Also, I can confirm that a self-sustaining tank with Stalwart Guard and a magblade can easily two-man dungeons now. There's a period of 10 seconds when pulling off Aggressive Horn that just lets the magblade just absolutely melt everything in sight.

Now that there's quite a bit of DLC out, and craft bags, and the general crown stipend, I would say that subbing is probably the way to go if you're playing the game on the long term. If you just want to check it out there's plenty to do without a sub, of course.

I wouldn't sub until getting level 50, the DLC zones are scaled but are endgame relevant but the vanilla zones aren't scaled so you should enjoy them while you can.

Have builds changed significantly at all in, say, the past 6 months? Thinking of jumping back in, but only if stam builds are now interesting.

Stam builds actually got a pretty hefty buff with this last update, including an actual universal Physical damage ultimate (Dawnbreaker). Really the only class that still suffers from lack of stamina viability is stam sorc, mainly because Surge also got a gigantic nerf.

Scyantific posted:Stam builds actually got a pretty hefty buff with this last update, including an actual universal Physical damage ultimate (Dawnbreaker). I haven't updated my gear on my Stam Sorc yet so it is quite few levels lower than what it could be. I made minimal skill changes with the update. Yet, I have found he is running better than he used to. I think it might actually be the buff on weapon enchantments. I run all Stam absorb runes on the weapons. He seems to have much better sustain than he used to. I have never really worked out burst damage on any character. I am also using both of the heal attacks from dual wield a fair amount. Mostly I haven't had to obsessively run rally or vigor. When I do have rally, vigor, surge and the DW heals running he is very viable. It's very sustainable single target. Of course Brawler is stupid good for large AoE and Reverse Slice is really useful now. I am running it instead of Execute. They shortened channel times on Flurry (added a heal morph) and Wrecking Blow. I find the shortened times improved my dps on both. Ennuid once told me that the Craglorn bees are a good place to test a build. There are two hives with a lot of bees right outside of town, so I have been doing that. My Stam Sorc chewed right through them and can basically run around killing anything that is not an actual group event in craglorn including the critter bosses, lizards and such in lower. No Stam problems thus far testing him various places. I need to run him through some group events. He is not set up for pvp at all. I plan to make all my chars a basic impen pvp set at cp140 until I have everything for 160 and maybe a better idea of what I might want their end game gear to look like. Those two go together since I want to supplement with some monster helms and such. Think I want engine for my dk, but don't really know for the others. It's different than it was before the Surge change, but really viable and lots of fun, in my opinion at least. The surge change means you get a flat heal from crits rather than a heal based on damage. Base is 3k. When hitting more than one target it goes up to 4.5k. Can't remember how often it ticks. It's interesting. For a burst damage build it is worse because you also lose burst heal and Stam builds often lack that. If for whatever eccentric reason developers were thinking people might actually run hybrid builds of some sort changing it so that you get flat damage would seem like an improvement. It still works well enough, but isn't the sort of panacea it could be before. I never did understand exactly how it worked with shields where you can't crit, but now I imagine you get a flat return even if the crit did no damage and unaffected by all the strange damage capping and halving in pvp. I went to test my magplar on the bees last night and kept dying. Wtf? Did they stealth nerf something into oblivion? No. Actually assigning your champion points seems to be a good idea in order to have your build work. He was fine after that. I am paralyzed with indecision about continuing eccentric Magicka builds on my dk or switching him over to vomit knight. My stamplar is just sitting around crafting stuff and farming. I find I enjoy my magplar a lot more. On a side note I started making poisons last night just to see what they were. Most seem geared to pvp, but there are a few health steals that look like they might be very good for tanking. I am thinking tanking because I don't think they will really add much dos or be worth the enchantment trade off, but a lot have nice non player debuffs (maims and fractures, movement, etc.) combined with the poison and a decent life steal. My own pitiable attempts at tank builds weave a lot of regular attacks for resource and I think this would be an interesting addition. Need to figure out what stacks with other debuffs for how long and such, but might be cool. Fun and occasionally disastrous runs with (v drunk) goons doing Rando late last night with me pretending to heal. Sogol fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jun 5, 2016 |

So I'm getting itchy and wanted to play this again rather than reinstalling Skyrim for the ninth time. Is the new content soloable, or do I need a solid group for it? Just wanna dick around pretending to be a thief, occasionally stabbing people in the throat. ES is more a chill-out game than something I wanna do hardcore.

Well it's mmorpg so quite a bit of depth and quest complexity are traded for ability to play with others and if you don't, you won't have a comparable experience to best singleplayer games. But is there lots of good soloable content? Yes

It's also super-chill, and the latest DLCs have made it thieving/murdering heaven. I just.. cant stop murdering innocents. They are also heavy on solo play (which is great (sorry Scy <3)). e: yeah grouping with goons is also stress free and neat. Maybe if you're sober too. valuum fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Jun 6, 2016 |

Cheers, that's neat. Don't really have much interest in raids, or whatever equivalent they have, so if I can dick around it'll be cool. Can you respec your attributes now, or is dumping everything into stamina still a good idea?

Dumping all your stats into stamina is a great idea for stam dps and stam tank play styles. Also trials (raids) are super chill and don't require dedication like other mmo's but yeah, you can play most of this game solo if that's your thing.

Yeah, you can respec attributes, skill points and morphs of those skills all in one convenient location in your faction's capital (Mournhold, Elden Root, Wayrest) at any time. Stam is what you'll want if you're using weapon skills or a specific class build like a stam DK or a stamplar or something else I ain't finished my coffee yet gimme a break. There's lots of good solo content in this game. LOTS. You won't have any trouble enjoying that. Just be aware you can't become a demigod super easily like you can in most TES games. And eventually you'll wanna try doing group stuff. You will, believe me. It'll happen because goons are cool and chill and helpful. I started off playing this solo and now most of what I do is running around killing stuff with other goons. And you know what? It's a loving great time. Also, if you need gear or advice about a build or whatever else, hit up @ennuid, @Scyantific or @thefloobyest (that's me) and we can get you set up with whatever you need.

The main content in ESO is competely soloable, hell I think the Main Quest is almost 100% personal instances apart from a few exceptions. However, there are a few exceptions that don't affect the story. There are group delves, which are just big dungeons you're expected to group up to do, or piggyback onto a different group since it's not instanced. Then there are dungeons, which pretty much need a group to do, and higher level goons will often rally a band to do pledges. Last there are trials which goons do occasionally but are basically dungeons for 16 man groups. Imperial City is completely group oriented, as is Craglorn. You can solo quests in the PvP area Cyrodiil, but PvP itself is generally a zerg activity. All other DLCs apart from stated ones are soloable.

It's still a weird time limited window to get infected by an NPC but the game's been out for so long by now that there is usually at least someone around to give you a bite. You can also buy vampirism/werewolf from the crown store (don't do that).

Thanks for this. Any benefit from running a Stage 2 vamp, or not worth it? You get the mag and Stam regen from supernatural and health is even with unnatural resistance. With the changes staying at stage two for an entire trial is no problem as long as you aren't using any vamp skills.
