Most Forgiving Class

EdgarLecter · December 2016

Most forgiving, easy, op, etc.. Whatever you name it. What i mean is a class build that wont punish you when you don't look at your resources, a build that wont punish you when you are out numbered(cloak, streak, etc.), a build that doesn't necessarily do high damage with low affort but can put out below decent damage with little to no affort.

Of course a player who needs a build like this doesn't search for 1vx situations, so being a little bit useful in zergVzerg situations while surviving is this person's aim. What are your suggestions ?
Thank you.

Forgiving?

Hmm.... Magicka Templar has massive heals, so possibly them.

In the past I would've said Magicka Sorc due to shieldstacking, but those shields are not what they used to be. Two half-decent players can tear you to pieces if you don't CC/LoS them.

Draxys · December 2016

Probably magicka Templar/stamina sorc atm

leepalmer95 · December 2016

Mag templar easily.

DannyLV702 · December 2016

Shield and sword stamDK

incognito222 · December 2016

Magicka Templar dan Stam Sorc for sure

EdgarLecter · December 2016

What do you think of magicka nightblades ? I know they don't have resource and escape problems but do they have enough self heal ?

They can be very powerful played by a skillful player.

Not exactly forgiving at all imo though.

Agreed, difficult to play but extreemly rewarding if you´re good at them in PvP

WuffyCerulei · December 2016

Magicka templar, stam sorcs, and stam nightblades, all very forgiving in solo play and pvp. Magicka templars just need to be calibrated right for pve dps tho.

Magicka nightblades can be great if you play it right, check out the latest vid @KenaPKK did, great magicka NB and he explains everything

Edit: turns out kena is banned lol, you can probably search kena eso nightblade and find him

Rilmarshim · December 2016

No doubts it's magicka templar.

This is the video you mention, I suppose.

What is you guys' suggestion on weapon choice for magplar. Dw or destro ? Why?

Lore_lai · December 2016

Depends - Mag!Plar has good burst heal, yes, and purify (though people forget how many debuffs even ONE person can put on you nowadays) - but if you really put a mag!Plar on the defensive that's all s/he gonna do - fully defensive mode until either 1. they run out of resources OR 2. their friends show up.

Oh yeah - there's also the option that the people you're fighting are really newbie then maybe you can go defensive for a bit then fully offensive and smack them, but that is a big IF and 99.99% of the time that requires Vampire and not all of us choose to get Vampire because we think it's easy mode/selfish.

You tell me when is the last time you saw a non-Vampire small scale Magicka Templar run around in Cyro? I can only think of ONE regular PvP'r on PC/NA doing that.

Also - Sorry - but if you get killed in Cyro by an "immortal" Templar that can "face-tank zergs" then it's definitely l2P. lol
***
PvP aside - I would definitely say that stamina has a very steep learning curve and I would NOT recommend going Stam to a new player.
If you're just faffing around in open world and starting out, then either magicka NB or magicka Templar for starters. Although I personally think that Magicka DK has a really good spot too. Mag NB would definitely be my first recommendation because of how the skills are set-up as you level-up and better sustain.

Once you are there and have decent CP then Stamina Sorcerer is just easy-mode. If you have really good gear then it's utterly face-roll.

Basically - it all depends on what you want to do. Just don't forget, whatever you do - always have fun!

I have to disagree with "stam nightblade"... depending on your build, those can be super squishy. Awesome fun, but not forgiving for an unskilled player.

I recently started a stam sorc alt, and with heavy armor, she's pretty much untouchable even at low levels. So yeah, add my vote to that one.

Words of wisdom right here.

Yep, the most easy way is magicka templar, but as a magicka templar you will soon realize how few defensive tools you have and how clunly and unreliable your damage is.
Easy to start, hard to climb the pedestal.

Tormy · December 2016

Stam dk

geonsocal · December 2016

I'd have to do with DK also...really good shields, nice self heal, helpful root move and a good knockdown ability...

they can be super hard to kill...

WuffyCerulei · December 2016

I find a lot of stamina nightblades nowadays, especially khajiit, khajiit, and more khajiit. Tiz rare to find a non-khajiit stamblade...

Strider_Roshin · December 2016

Magicka Templar is stupid easy to play as.

olsborg · December 2016

Magtemplar in heavy armor is by far the easiest class to recover from bad situations and bad choices in combat. By far.

thankyourat · December 2016

Heavy armor sword and board Stam dk. Nothing even comes close

What about the sustain though? Will it be enough with channeled focus and 5lich ?

Chrlynsch · December 2016

Hybrid stamina templar with werewolf.

driosketch · December 2016

Not nightblades.

You can excel with a NB, but if you make a mistake you can be dead very fast. If we are talking solo questing, group content, or pvp, the other classes provide good opportunity to survive mistakes and still win the fight.

JkahrrRadnar · December 2016

Magplar is super chill to play in a zerg; Useful to the group since you keep others alive and easy to play since you can keep yourself alive too.

Grunim · December 2016

I find magicka templar healer to be difficult to play in PvP group situations because you are the first to be targeted so for me this is anything but a forgiving class. I can only play it if I am with other healers or am teamed with players who will protect you.

For me stamina sorc is the most forgiving, though some players might make fun of you for choosing to play it because some in the community consider it easy mode nowadays.

a1i3nz · December 2016

Magplar for sure. Then stam sorc.

alephthiago · December 2016

Magplar
Stamplar
Stamdk

Stam sorc is easier than any other stam class IMO.
