So should I be deconstructing or keeping all this set gear i've gotten. I'm only level 20 and have pretty much just been keeping what I like for any alts.

Should I do the oldgame quests first, or does it not really matter with this level scaling stuff? You can play wherever you want, but the Morrowind story is part of an arc started in DLC and continued in Summerset, which is separate and set after the core arc in the oldgame.

It’s a long shot but if there is anyone else still playing on PS4 add me on PSN: “literallygary” All of the goon guilds are basically dead but I have a pretty good guild I found on Reddit that does a lot of group content and PVP.

I think there's a little bit in the Dark Brotherhood DLC, and there's an intro quest set before Morrowind called The Missing Prophecy that was available to everyone as a teaser.

That's if you're doing crafting (I recommend it because you REALLY need to skill that reduces the amount of honing mats for when you improve your gear to gold)

Is there anywhere decent that has good skill/build guides? With all the options for armor and weapon and class skills, I'm kind of lost. Currently running a Dragon Knight, and just putting points randomly wherever.

Summerset is pretty, but man does it have you running around a lot. Go here, go there, go back to that site. Here's a map with some breaches to seal. Also, does the mages guild quest line give skill points? I skipped it on my main because I thought a DK was a non-magic user (which is kind of silly.) I was going to run it on an alt, but if the line gives skill points, I'll keep at it on my main.

Currently running a Dragon Knight, and just putting points randomly wherever. Alcast is a solid place to check out. He tends to have builds for every conceivable PvE role for each class, and plenty of PvP builds as well. As with any build though, I recommend using it as a guideline rather than an absolute meta. ESO is different in regards to gear and such - your preferred content and individual skill more so determines your best-in-slot gear rather than it being the same for everyone. On that note, ESO Sets is a great site for going through the multitude of sets available in the game.

I took a look through some of those build guides but it's almost complete gibberish and way too much info for a newbie like me. Can I respec later on, when I have a better understanding of the game? I'm a Templar and I've just been putting points in what looks cool, I take it that will suffice for levelling through the content and questing etc? E: oh, the Dottzgaming ones are a bit more comprehensible. I'm not sure what they mean by 'front bar' and 'back bar' though Bardeh fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Jun 18, 2018 |

At level 15 you unlock the ability to equip a second weapon with its own bar of five abilities. Front bar is your primary where you'll start a rotation, back is your secondary with less used abilities or the ones that are later in your rotation. When you're getting started and you don't have a lot of stuff to put on the back bar, set abilities in lines that you'd like to level up. When finishing quests, swap to the second one to funnel xp into that bar so you can level more skill lines.

Something I would add to this is that you will probably progress faster if you go back to the main story instead of doing morrowind first. You can start main story at any time by just going to a base game area and some guy will walk up and give you a quest. Basically almost every base game main story quest gives a skill point when you finish it, while morrowind skill points are more spread out. Morrowind also requires a lot more long distance travelling to work through the story. Also mundus stones dont exist in morrowind which isn't a big deal but something to keep in mind. End of the day doesnt really matter but if you want to speed up progression probably better to do base game first.

Just got the game, do I really need to respec everytime I want to switch from pvp to pve? Most other games let you have at least 2 different skillsets you can switch between.

My one complaint with my skill selection so far is that if I want to keep my clannfear and winged twilight when I enter punchmage mode or switch to my secondary weapon then I need to have those skills slotted in all three bars, which really hampers what I can actually do on a regular basis. They're good and I like using them so whatever, but it sort of limits where I put my skill points since I only have so many attacks I can actually use.

I believe that’s what most people call, “balance.” Choose a pet or choose a different ability; it may be annoying, but Sorcs would be even more insanely powerful if they had access to those slots plus pets. Could be worse: Wardens lose their Ultimate slot if they go with a pet (and their pet isn’t even as good).

I really dig the warden aesthetic. Does it do okay as PvE mag DPS? Nobody has really written a guide that I can find that's newbie friendly at all. I have been messing with a Templar. I throw dots, drop elemental blockade, and spam sweeps. I was just wondering if warden had the same kinda self sustaining approach since its got a healing line.

Alcast has a PvE DPS mag warden build. It can work, but I'm pretty sure consensus is still that it's the worst class for magicka DPS. Every class except Warden has more than one DPS-related class skill tree, so you're not left with a lot of options. Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Jun 19, 2018 |

I find that if you want a caster Warden, a better route is to go tank. You’ll use a lot of the same abilities, but be much less worried about the damage they do and more happy with the effect. Hybrid Warden tank is totally viable, at least until you hit the end game stuff. Healer Warden also works well, but that’s a whole different set of skills.

Any particular pointers? Never really done tank before, what skills outside the class ones should I be aiming at? Do I have to frost staff like the game seems to want or do I have any flex there?

I haven't played this game much since launch, but I got a key for the expacs so I decided to jump back in. Just a few questions.. 1. are werewolves still considered a joke? I can only go off what I saw people saying but apparently it was trash? Mostly asking cuz my original character was a vampire and that was fun so I wouldn't mind trying the other option. 2. Are Wardens any fun? Seems neat but I dunno if class balance is good or bad in this game.

1. Werewolf is really not particularly good for PvE group stuff. You can probably do better DPS without it, and it takes up an Ultimate slot. Unlike vampire, though, simply having it doesn't affect anything, so you're not sacrificing anything (except skill points) by trying it out. I'd say if you have the skill points to spare, do it anyway for fun, but not because you expect it to be useful. 2. I feel like Warden has fewer abilities that are generally useful than other classes do, and less synergy between its skill trees—the opposite of Sorcerer basically. I'm working on a DPS/healer bow warden right now and enjoying it, though. In terms of having fun DPSing I'd rank the classes Dragonknight > Sorcerer > Warden > Templar > Nightblade, and I do not expect a single other person here to agree with me on that.

Never really done tank before, what skills outside the class ones should I be aiming at? Do I have to frost staff like the game seems to want or do I have any flex there? You can use ice staff or sword & shield, or both. For non class skills, you’ll definitely want to get all the taunt skills available if you go the tank route (puncture in sword/shield, inner rage from Undaunted). Also one or two attacks from each weapon type you choose. Sword and Shield should get puncture and maybe either low slash or defensive, Ice Staff should go with elemental wall and maybe crushing shock. As far as class skills: Definitely the frost cloak and polar wind, the netch and healing vines. The shimmering shield is also useful, as is gripping ice shards. I think most of the fan sites have builds available for Warden tanks now, so you may want to give them a read. Tanking is something you’ll either love or be extremely apathetic towards (I don’t think anyone really hates tanking, just more of “bleh, I have to tank for this group?”), but it’s worth trying.

It really is amazing the lengths to which PC gamers will go in order to not use a gamepad. Use an Xbox controller, reassign Ability 3 to left d-pad and stick your least-used skill there, put bar swap on red face button, and have fun bar-swapping while strafing and not missing a beat.

All the builds I see online are from the perspective of a cp160 character at least, so it helps to have it explained like I'm five. Last mmo I played was launch era WoW. Kinda weird getting back into things and ESO has an unorthodox character system too. Really appreciate the guidance.
