True, but Zenimax has the power to rectify that issue by letting people unlink their accounts and letting them use the stand alone launcher.

I apologize for anything bad I may have said about DPS mag warden in the past. I still wouldn't recommend it to a new player, but it can work well, offers more possibilities than I originally thought, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. It allowed me to do this gimmick build:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsrKJ957q3M

Behold, the most ice-centric build you can have without being a tank. No frost staff, of course, but I'm using both the Iceheart and Winterborn armor sets, using Force Pulse as my spammable because Winterborn procs from cold damage abilities, and getting as much offensive use out of the Winter's Embrace tree as I possibly can (Winter's Revenge, Arctic Blast, Permafrost ultimate). It works well enough that I can just wander up to a random group boss I've never fought before and be reasonably confident I can solo it on my first try. (I'm a vampire and this boss uses fire attacks, so it was a bad choice, but I still made it, using only one potion.)

Sustain problems could probably be mitigated by going with Northern Storm instead of Permafrost and actually remembering to resummon Blue Betty. I'd also like to have Ice Meteor at some point, but ugh, lorebooks.



I like this character so much, I got him a mount to match his outfit. :toot:

I too have become enamored with my Warden (stamina variety though). I put her in Relequen and Ravaging sets, use the bear ultimate, and voila! Consistent 44k+ DPS and an absolute blast to play.

Speaking of warden, I'm topping out at 90k on my bear ultimate self buffed. This is on an argonian, so I'm pretty sure a Dunmer/Breton/Altmer can easily push 95k+ on that thing.

I only wish you could unsummon the bear when not in combat without swapping your skills around. It's really good, but I don't want to use it because it keeps getting in the way when I'm trying to loot chests and stuff.

Maelstrom Arena was kind enough to just give me a full set of Hunt Leader while I was grinding for Winterborn, so I'll definitely be using the bear when I get around to my stam warden.

There's a comment saying this set procs from the Animal Companion skills that I wouldn't consider pets, like Cliff Racer. Is that true? Because if so, holy poo poo.

You can! On your character screen if you right-click the bear under your "Active effects" list it unsummons it. I found this out by accident, nowhere in the game does it tell you about this so don't feel bad that you missed it.

I didn't realize there was a goon trade guild, I'll take an invite if there's a spot, ign is @Heimdall-Ulf. I have a ton of stuff eating up bank space that I'd like to get rid of.

There is this addon which allows you to keybind a dismiss pet button. http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1314-PetDismiss.html. Anytime you are playing the game and think "I wish I could do . . ." there is probably an addon for it with this game.

To what degree does faction matter these days? I'm probably going to roll an Ebonheart Pact race either way, but I'm curious.

Also how many lore-related sins would I be committing if I made a dunmer templar

Neat.

Okay, I'm either going to start with a magicka Templar or a magicka Nightblade. I gather with Templar I'll also have a very strong healing option available to me. What about with Nightblade--is healing an option there? Or respeccing to do some tanking at max level, perhaps?

Yes and yes. Nightblades are extremely versatile, with a ton of healing (self and group) and a passive damage mitigation. They don’t have all the group support options that Templars do (cleanses and buffs).

Nightblades are probably the most "active" class, in the sense that the vast majority of their damage comes from weaving light attacks in between each skill, and if you miss even a single light attack your dps can drop dramatically. Personally it's my favorite class, but at the same time it also ruined all the other classes because now they feel so slow. Just something to think about if you think you will enjoy that style of gameplay, you might want to try some other classes first so you don't end up like me and only play nightblades (not that that's a bad thing, considering right now they are top dog in dealing damage)

Playing as a casual and getting back after a break, I am resetting my sorcerer skills for the first time. How come I can't upgrade a skill in one go? For example, trying to get Shrouded Daggers but it only let me put one point into Hidden Blade. Same with other skills, for example class skills, even if I have max level in that tree. What do I need to do to fully upgrade a skill on respec?

Each skill has to be leveled to (fully filled) level 4 individually before it can be morphed, even if the tree is maxed out at 50.

I can hear a second of music and that's it. Tried usersettings from my friend and skipping intro videos.

I remember playing the beta with no issues.

This is the non steam version on an i5 with a 1080 on Win10

Tried the repair and reinstalled multiple times,same thing.

No clue, but usually when there's an issue at launch that's not because of usersettings or a damaged file, it's because you're running a driver for something that it doesn't like. Graphics driver should be the first check, but peripheral drivers can cause problems (Razer's poo poo especially).
