Either dual wield or two-handed would work for you, so I'd just go with the one that appeals to you the most. If you wanted to do bow/bow, though, Warden is the class most suited for that, with its class skills favoring ranged DPS.

If you wanted to do bow/bow, though, Warden is the class most suited for that, with its class skills favoring ranged DPS. What is the benefit to having 2 of the same type of weapon? I thought the whole point of having different types of weapons was to access different skills. I assume you only get stat benefits from the weapon you are currently wielding, since when I swap sets I loose the set bonus this random dagger is a part of, so what does double dipping on one weapon type bring to offset the lack of skills/passives from other weapon types?

The warden-specific answer is that you have that excellent Advanced Species passive, which will boost your damage by 3% for each Animal Companion ability you have slotted. So your main bar will have, say, Cutting Dive as your spammable, Subterranean Assault, Bird of Prey, and the Feral Guardian Ultimate for a 12% damage boost, plus an 8% damage boost from the Minor Berserk granted by Bird of Prey. The 5th skill slot should go to either Expert Hunter for the Major Savagery buff, or Bull Netch for yet another 3% damage boost. So you already have one optimized bar set up for long-range DPS, with no weapon skills at all. If you use something other than Bow for this bar, you'll have to be at close range for light and heavy attacks when you would otherwise have no reason to. You could make a case for using either Dual Wield or Two-Handed here for their passive skills (and the Twin Blade & Blunt passive from Dual Wield would definitely tempt me), but you'd want to be using your class skills regardless. Bull Netch, which will be either on your front or back bar, is your source of the Major Brutality buff, which negates the need for Hidden Blade (Dual Wield) or Momentum (Two-Handed). And Endless Hail (Bow) is the best DoT skill you have access to, and you can't put it on your front bar without sacrificing some sort of damage bonus.

If you use something other than Bow for this bar, you'll have to be at close range for light and heavy attacks when you would otherwise have no reason to. Ok, so you'd fill one bar with max Class abilities from Animal Companion (for the passive buff) and the 2nd bar with all your Bow weapon abilities? Do you still get the damage buff from the Animal Companion passive when using the 2nd, weapon filled bar? Also, I was looking at a leveling build thing, and it recommended trying to get a set of this gear:  Is that something I can ask someone in the guild to make? It also doesn't mention the gear's level, so wouldn't I have to be getting higher-stat pieces of gear every couple of levels?

Advanced Species and skills like it only apply to your current bar. The equipment is no big deal, and you shouldn't worry too much about optimizing it while you're still leveling. You'll be fine if you just use the good stuff you find and keep it relatively current, but the amount of resources needed to construct equipment below level C160 (where equipment maxes out) is pretty trivial, and a lot of goons would be happy to make it for you.

Inferno has one of the most useless morphs of any ability I've ever seen. The one that also boosts weapons is okay for StamDK, but who on earth is going to take the healing morph? To what build is that useful?

FactsAreUseless posted:I have not and also what is that. I'm just a DPS and I wanted Inferno to have a morph that would add more damage or DOTs or something. I mean Major Savagery just for having it slotted is nothing to sneeze at, not to mention that it's got Major Sorc too as a little bonus. Plus it's a better skill in general than Expert Hunter.

For the FREE ESO Plus thing, if I don't own the game can I still download and try it out? I'm interested in playing ESO, but don't want to buy the game yet and was happy to see a free trial was announced.

The event starting on Thursday is for people to try out (and probably get addicted to) the optional sub.

I've been spending some time wandering around the world taking stupid dumb selfies at various Striking Locales, and collected a few of these into a quiz. https://www.sporcle.com/games/Oceanbound/tamriel-trailblazer If you can get all of these right then I'll be suitably impressed.

"Arrogant" would be a more accurate name for the personality than Heroic. As would "I Am Ashamed of My Body" for Melancholy. Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Nov 15, 2018 |

Heroic is also good for a fat orc tank that never stops eating, drinking, being winded, tooting his horn and yelling incoherently with the help of the Custom Idle Animations add-on.
