I just came back and I've got a free respec. I'm a level 17 Dark Elf Nightblade Vampire. What's a quick down and dirty build my scrub rear end can use to effectively level?

Morph funnel health, as that's your main weave, and go kill everything while you heal yourself and others with BLOOD MAGIC. Post your @account name and we'll invite you to goon guild and I'll make you things.

I noticed you mentioned staves as both weapons even though I'm a Nightblade... Are optimal builds really that far removed from class archetypes? If so I still kinda want to stick the the assassin motif with daggers as primary and bow as ranged even if I take a hit to efficiency/effectiveness. Unless the alternative will level me MUCH quicker... Happy and grateful to accept any help/gear you're willing to offer, to that end, so thanks in advance!

Rollersnake posted:I tend to use Assassin's League (exactly what you used there), Akaviri, and Dwemer shoulders for this reason. They go down the arm and don't stick out super far, so they're easier to integrate into costumes that shouldn't have shoulder pads. There's also some epaulets like Breton, Glass, Trinimac, and Xivkyn that aren't shoulder armor at all. The limitations are frustrating, but I've still been able to make a lot of decent looking stuff working within them. The Abah's motif light shoulders are pretty good too if you want something minimalist. On a couple of my rogue-ish costumes I also use the Trinimac light and Yokudan light ones. Yokudan medium chest and legs with the light shoulders actually looks pretty badass. Mr Scumbag posted:Thanks, I'm already in the guild as @Mr_Scumbag.

If you prefer the dual wield/bow route, put everything into stamina, wear primarily medium armor. Buzzsaw your way through the game.

Every class can be either a stamina or a magic version. Dunmer, racially, have all bonuses to magic and none to stamina, so I assumed you were gonna be casty. You can still totally be stabby. In which case, everything in Stam, wear at least 5 medium, use two daggers, and a bow on your back. Morph flurry to Bloodthirst, and the bleed to the morph that heals you.

They get a 6% stamina bonus, but that's about it. They absolutely do shine more so in a magicka setup. My main (stamblade) was a dark elf originally, but I went Redguard after a while because the sustain was like night and day.

Minor nitpick, but something that wasn't clear to me in the original post is that DLC and expansions are two different things, and that ESO Plus doesn't cover expansions. Not a big deal, but I did spend a whole $15 on my old ESO account thinking it would get me Summerset.

If you wait a year for the new expansion you'll be able to get Summerset included in Plus  The OP was written way before Morrowind and Chapters were a thing and I haven't bothered to update it beyond adding the Goon Discord info.

So I played WoW for 10 years. My main was Rogue/Warlock. Looking at either a Stam Sorcerer or a Magicka Nightblade. If the game hooks me enough I'll be doing far more Pve, mostly solo(until endgame) as I have a crazy schedule, than Pvp, any suggestions on what I should start with?

Stamsorc is really fun. I've no experience with magblades other than people saying they're hard to level as your first class.

I made a magic dragon-whatever and I like it a lot so far but I'm only like level 21. Im not sure what weapons and armour setup I should have but I've been running with a 2 hand sword and fire (destruction?) staff and mostly heavy armour (and 1 of light and medium)

Magplar or Stamsorc imo. Both are extremely easy with magplar being the easier, both fun, both extremely extremely good at making you feel like you can easily solo the world.

I've tried just about everything at this point and found petsorc and magplar to be particularly straightforward. Also magplar is actually fun.

I've been leveling basically Fire Mage Templar and it's fun and good. Has a some neat spells that do stuff beyond just "does some single target/aoe/damage over time" like the one that absorbs and then releases a bunch of damage, the one that damages enemies every time they attack and then explodes, and the death beam that ramps up as enemy HP drops. Also mixes well thematically with fire staff spells, meteor, etc. You can easily switch over to magic spear attacks if you feel like stabbing things. Also you get a single target heal that instantly heals 80% of your HP lol

Inzombiac posted:Hey now! Stamsorc doesn't really get going until you have Surge. Essentially you're a super stabby berserker that's aiming to have as high a crit % as possible, who hits as many times as possible, and stays alive by healing from crits. I think stamsorc is a really neat build, even if it ultimately wasn't my thing. Ranged DPS is just more fun, IMO. The only thing I think I might end up liking more than mag dk and magsorc is bow warden. Finally I'll be able to dodge-roll to my heart's content.

Stamsorc is slow to start, but once you master it you're essentially a supersonic avatar of death and destruction. Blatantly plugging my lovely comp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snUEEJmJoHU

Switched to the heavy Assassin shoulders, and I'm mostly happy with it. A bit too shiny, but it doesn't make me want to scream any more. And a new one, while I'm here:

I fooled around with the Nvidia Freestyle beta which allows you to apply filters and change various visual settings with a pop-up menu during gameplay. Holy poo poo does this game look way better now. At least on my monitor everything looked very washed out and low contrast but after bumping the vibrancy everything pops and looks nice without being oversaturated.

You can also change SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS to -3 in \Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\UserSettings.txt to get much sharper textures. Remember to make it read-only.

I don't think you have to do the read-only thing anymore. They seemed to have fixed it so the game doesn't wipe your settings on load. I had to uncheck read-only when Summerset came out, to let it update some ini settings, and I left it unchecked... and it never wiped that setting. Been playing for weeks without setting it to read-only and it's still sitting at -3.

For people who are relatively new to this game, if you like making tons of alts like I do, I want to give some quick advice that I wish I had known from day one: #1: Always log out next to a stabelemaster. Log on every character every day to train riding. Even if you have way too many characters, it only takes a few minutes. Even if you're not really actively playing every day it's good to make a habit of it. I've just made it part of my daily routine before work... make coffee, check email, log on ESO and train riding... It's especially nice for alts I don't play much, because when I get around to eventually doing stuff with them, their skills aren't garbage. I'm a really casual player but I have some of my characters fully trained now. My strategy is to max speed first, then put maybe 20 points in stamina just to keep random dudes from knocking you off your horse, then max out capacity (which is way more useful really), then you go back to working on stamina cause you might as well finish it up. #2: Get the Lazy Writ Crafter add-on (DO NOT sleep on this, or you will feel like SUCH AN IDIOT later), do crafting certification immediately on every new character, and do daily crafting writs early and often. It took me forever to figure this out, but it is insanely useful. Why? Because even at really low levels with NO skill points in any crafting skills, you get about 2,000 gold per character per day for doing the 6 basic dailies. 2,000 gold can buy you over a week's worth of mount training, so if you do the dailies about once a week on each alt, you can fund their mount training forever even if you never log on them for anything else. Do it two or three times a week and they'll have some pocket money too. With that add-on you can sleepwalk through all the dailies in about two minutes. (Vivec City is still the most convenient spot I think.) You also get fat bundles of crafting materials with each daily turn-in, so it's mostly self-sustaining. The "survey" maps you sometimes get as random rewards will give you materials by the hundreds if you bother to do them. (It does kinda take an initial investment in a decent stash of low-level materials, just so you're not constantly running out in the beginning.) As a bonus, you also get XP, crafting skill-ups, and intricate gear to deconstruct out of this deal... That's not really the point though. It's good to have one main crafting character who you actually invest skill points in, but all your alts can be sending your crafter piles of intricate gear to skill up faster. I have like 12 characters at this point. In terms of actually questing and stuff I usually focus on just one for days, weeks at a time... but my alts don't just sit on their asses, they are getting money, getting skills, and getting prepped for the spotlight. I've got multiple characters sitting at like level 10 with riding speed and capacity maxed, and I didn't have to blow a bunch of money in the crown store to get them there. It's just a couple minutes out of my day to keep that gravy train rolling.
