All of these things are largely build dependent. PvE DPS shines when focused on either magicka or stamina exclusively (on my stamblade I don't have a single piece of gear or use a consumable that assists in magicka totals/damage in any way). PvE tanks tend to need resources from both pools, and thus stack both magicka and stamina to some degree whilst keeping their health total high. And as you mentioned, plenty of PvP builds make use of both resource pools.

It can also be situational. Plenty of folks use tri-stat food on a magicka character while doing Maelstrom Arena due to having to dodge roll a bunch.

Why does a stamtank want magic?

Typically because of number of the skills they use cost magicka and have no stamina variant. A PvE Dragonknight tank in a 'meta' setup is a good example. They need plenty of stamina of course for blocking (more so for end game trials and vet stuff), but they tend to also slot Fiery Grip (for pulling enemies), Dark Talons (for rooting trash) and of course their group-wide damage shield. All of those cost magicka, hence the need to have a half decent pool of it and be able to somehow sustain it's use. You get more versatility and group support from being a hybrid tank than you would as straight-up stamina.

EDIT: A good example of a meta DK tank build. Although he needs a bunch of stamina, the majority of his slotted skills use magicka.

At least we're not the Thalmor (yet)
In line with the time of year and the Fallout announcement earlier today, it's time to attempt once more to bring up a minor tradition:

Watch the Bethesda Press Conference in the Chill Bros Chat Lounge Guild Chat With Chill Bro Goons
Featuring such entertainment as:

1. Goons being goons
2. Scy probably criticizing whatever ESO content is revealed.
3. Me bellyaching that we're getting ANOTHER Fallout game before TESVI.
4. Not many people showing up (but maybe a lot will!)

It starts at 9:30 EST (6:30 PST) on Sunday, June 10th.

The $9.99 option is just the Morrowind Chapter, for which you will need the base game to play.

There was also a PSN+ discount, which is how I got the full game + Morrowind for less than $10. It'd be nice to have some folks to play with and a guild to join, feel free to hit me up @ kaptainkaffeine.

Don't forget battlegrounds give XP towards assault and support, and AP. I think like 5 or 6 matches took me from 3-4 on my 25 templar. And i got a sweet dragon staff style motiff. I think it's kind of fun, but I hate crazy king or whatever with the flags. It always seems like two factions will fight over one flag while the third just takes the free one.

Been playing a lot of Elder Scrolls: Legends and thought I'd give this a go to learn all the lore I'm missing. Could someone throw an invite to @Jeditojanen, please.

Also, can I just check I'm doing Argonian naming correctly?



E: a couple of n00b questions.

1) I got Morrowind with the base game, and all my characters start there. How do I get back to the regular starting area?

2) Where are the Undaunted in Vivec City?

I saw a lot of Argonian names around like Breaks-Wind-Painfully when I first started, so I just assumed it wouldn't actually let you use the word fart. So many opportunities, squandered.

I think a lot of people are working around the vulgarity clause, but I very much doubt there'll be a problem with something as mild as "fart" unless a complaint is received - maybe not even then. Worst case I get a brief holiday and a free name change, about which I give no shits because I'm not subbed. :shrug:

On the other hand, I'm sure someone has got into trouble for using Smokes-Weed-Everyday.

Do you plan on crafting? ESO+ is for you

Otherwise it's not as necessary but it is really good if you want to give the DLC a shot without having to pay for it

Crafting is fairly essential if you plan on sticking with the game since you need to drop a fuckton of cash on upgrade mats (getting everything gold will drain your bank, especially without the passives to make it cost 1/2 mats to upgrade)

But yeah, if you aren't sure if you're sticking around, or just want to try, I wouldn't go ESO+ yet, but if you liek it and plan to play, definitely do it.

ESO+ in general is not a bad deal, you get 1500 crowns which is same as the $14.99 1500 crown purchase, but also craft bags, 10% exp/crafting exp/gold, double furnishing in player houses, all dlc

most importantly you lose nothing what was the vanilla launch game, everything eso+ is additions, if you just want to put around like it's a single player game it's perfect, but it's highly recommend if you want to do anything end game

like its possible to do endgame without craftbag, we did it for years before that but uhhhh would not recommend

What governs the tier of resource nodes you find?

I have the capability to craft using beech (woodworking) but I can't find any in the world, it's all oak.

When I played this game about two years ago, one of the best builds for Templar was a simple enough rotation that I was able to set it up with a one-button macro and just hold down a thumb button on my mouse anytime I wanted something to die.

It healed me and melted enemies. I loved it.


Is there anything like that still? I'm googling for 1-button builds but nothing looks recent, for any class. People are talking about bar swapping and poo poo, it sounds like a real pain in the rear end.

Every node pings 50/50 your level, and your rank in the particular skill. For example, a max level character with 0 ranks in crafting, will find half and half Jute and Ancestor Silk. But a max level character will full ranks will only ever find Ancestor Silk.

EDIT: Haha turns out I had a ESO key from a humble monthly bundle ALLLL ALONG! :suicide: Seriously though, I am only out $20 and that includes the Morrowind expansion, so it is not the biggest financial mistake I made. I'll figure out what to do with the other key later. Though if anyone here wants it I am willing to give it away, but I am pretty sure it is vanilla game only.

I would say yes, those 3 + daily random (grab pledges and do daily random first unless you're trying to get double keys for everyting by doing vet/hm) are good XP to get you CP and keys for monster sets are big
