ok having some time to play with it i will say i am actually really enjoying the new stone giant as a spammable it hits hard and has great effects and feels thematically in line with DK just being a fire/earth class and slamming the ground staggering everything and tossing flaming rocks knocking stuff down is pretty cool definitely cooler than last i played and the direction seemed to be "spam vomit breath" not poison damage though but eh having flame of oblivion, obsidian shield, and stone giant all up swirling around does look cool though

I just picked this up on sale and started playing for the first time. I am having major class indecision though and have some questions. 1) How hard is it to respec from magika to stamina on a character? 2) Is respeccing from dps to healer to pvp builds on one character an easy thing to do? Or do most people have multiple characters for different roles? 3) I've heard that magika necro is really bad in pvp? Is that true or are they just not flavor of the month so everyone is exaggerating? 4) Is stamina warden healing an actual thing or not really? If I wanted to solo stamina and heal some dungeons as stamina would I get booted from the group? 5) Can you tank with a pure stamina build or do you need to respec and actually put points into health? 6) Are there any classes that have fun magika dps, can dungeon heal, and are good in pvp that aren't Templar?

1) Very easy - but then you need to level up skills for whatever you haven't done before. Once you level them up you can respec multiple times simply by paying gold. 2) Most people have separate pvp characters if they do it often and properly simply because gold costs are annoying, changing gear, selecting all the spells etc are annoying. Can be done but takes longer etc. 3) Magcro is decent, but there are other better classes right now. 4) You can stamina heal in dungeons (unless someone is doing achievement runs etc and wants to be anal). You won't be able to stamina heal in trials etc as a healer, but you can be a dps running some heals. 5) You can tank on no hp builds easily. But most groups running trials will ask their tanks to be proper tanks. In dungeons etc you'll be fine. 6) Magsorc, magblade etc.

Go with dark elf as your race, they do well as both stamina and magicka characters since they get the same bonuses towards both play styles, a spell/weapon dmg increase and a magicka/stamina increase.

Orsinium has Maelstrom Arena, which is still probably the best endgame solo content, but I've always felt iffy about the main Orsinium quest and region because it's so sprawling and inconvenient to navigate that it just feels tedious. Maybe not something to get now, but definitely to get later. Murkmire and Thieves' Guild are my favorite small chapter DLCs. None of the dungeon DLCs are worthwhile until you're C160. Unless you're absolutely dead-set against subscribing, it's better and cheaper to subscribe than to buy the DLCs separately.

You won't be able to access those regions anymore, but otherwise no. You can still use any equipment or whatever that came from the DLC areas. There are also quite a few cosmetic items you permanently unlock just by traveling to DLC areas/dungeons, which you can do while you're subscribed. Like, Moon Hunter Keep is one of the hardest DLC dungeons you're not going to want to do for some time, but be sure to port there once to get your pimp hat.

Clockwork City seems interesting so far. I subbed and was excited for Murkmire as an Argonian. By the time I got the Hero of Murkmire achievement, I was done with that zone for a long time. I think it was the hard-to-avoid fights that would happen because the monsters were so well hidden in the weeds. But those drat Broodmother bugs has to be the worst, most annoying enemy I've had to fight in the game so far. Just doing a slow, casual tour of Clockwork, enjoying the lore.

morrowind then diving into clockwork city is probably the best content arc in the game imo, especially if you like tes3 thieves guild and dark brotherhood are probably my other favorites, if only cause the story is very "local" and low stakes. you're basically there to be a member of the guild and not out saving the world or anything, but you do have to be morally gray (thieves guild) or a bad person (db) for either of those so ymmv depending on how you play orsinium is a big chapter sized dlc on its own

I was thinking I’d probably save thieves guild and dark brotherhood for an alt. I can’t imagine getting into those when I think of my nord as a more upstanding sort of treasure hunter.

If you like dialogue changing based on your video game choices, definitely do Dark Brotherhood or at least join it before doing Murkmire. A couple of quests react to you being a sithis worshipper in a land of sithis worshippers.

new content usually considers old content pretty well and you'll get a bunch of different hooks usually depending if you met someone before or did this or that older content though, ehhh it gets pretty dodgy especially the old vanilla stuff i have no idea how well doing elsweyr, or dragonguard or upcoming greymoor gel skipping the entire OG main story and doing it after. i think i heard at elsweyrs release they redid some lines to account for it but i never actually bothered to go through the work to look myself this is why they should give people the option to pick tutorials/starting areas, and also probably some in game story progression guide cause a lot of the dlc can be kind of done in any sequence but some stuff (morrowind>clockwork city>summerset) probably gets real weird if you do in reverse

Yeah I was pretty happy to hear things like "I know you're Altmer, but you're new to the island, so..." in Summerset. Was a big difference from the Morrowind quests largely ignoring the fact that I was a Dunmer.

DB and TG lines are very fun. Lower stakes than “save the world” and I love how they turn cities into play spaces with risks and obstacles. I still need to knock out the Clockwork City quest line at some point. Just don’t love the biome - all kinda tan (intentional, but not thrilling). Maybe I just need to make an outfit that gets me In The Mood

If I plan to play what looks cool, how can I build my character to be one that is both very capable in melee combat, extremely capable at stealing (if stealing is as cool as it is in other TES games), and has some fun mobility skills? Sounds like the assassin/thief archetype I guess, but I also really appreciate being strong defensively instead of a glass cannon-type.

Nightblade is gonna be the most straightforward answer to that Q. They’re the only class with straight-up invisibility which is super helpful for stealing and sneaking past enemies. They get some very fun damage options, and between the class’s self-heals and defensive spells from other skill lines you can survive a hell of a lot. Mobility wise, they lack the free-aim blink of Sorcs but they have a teleport strike that’s really fun, and several other skill lines offer charge/engage moves as well. You can also juice up your dodge roll with a few perks to make it more powerful.

Agree. Nightblades aren’t glass cannon more like Pyrex or obsidian. E: and there’s no reason you can’t wear heavy armor.

Yeah you can always splice in heavy armor or a few defensive skills to get more durable. Lately I’m using the Psijic meditation ability and shield passive for that with Combat Physician set. Enough incidental shielding that I usually have some kind of barrier up. E: NBs also have Veil Of Blades which is a wonderful AOE that protects you and friends while shredding bad dudes.

Degs posted:Is magsorc healer bad? I'm trying to think of things to do with my magsorc now that I know I don't particularly like magsorc dps. Can be decent if you do it right, not as solid as templar or warden but still pretty up there. Bird heal is ridiculously strong. However, we probably have differing opinions on what exactly it means to heal.

Probably, I'm still suuuuper new to the game, the sorc is the only 50 I have. Just reading through the thread and what not my main concerns in ESO healing would be people missing mechanics and the general sustained damage, which seems like pretty basic healing stuff. Not like WoW / SWTOR healing but more akin to GW2 healing. But do Warden/Templar have better class-based tools for that? Or I guess they have buffs sorcs don't have or...something, not sure. I see in here and on poo poo like reddit people do all the content with a magsorc healer but wasn't sure if I'd be gimping myself. The other option is to make it a stamina dps but I assume I'd want to race change away from Breton if I did that. Degs fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Apr 9, 2020 |

Am I right in thinking that once I hit 50 I'll still have quests to do to earn Champion Points or whatever they are called? I've been jumping around a lot and sometimes purposefully leaving quests in area's because I want to come back and do them. I'm loving the exploration and freedom of this game! I'm sure all the quests I haven't done still remain active right? I saw some guild chat a few nights ago about running through some lower level dungeons and unfortunately I couldn't (was helping family in between quests). I really want to start doing some with you guys and learning that part of the game. I'm now level 36, haven't followed any guides, just enjoying my journey!

Think of this game as having 210 levels with Champion Points being levels 51 through 210. Gear maxes out at CP level 160 which can be reached quickly using the XP boost scrolls when turning quests or doing you daily random dungeon. After CP160 you can still earn spendable CP all the way up to CP 810 but that is a very long term goal. Just focus getting up to CP 160 and go from there.
