ESO needs a reboot in 2026 with a rollback of Subclassing

ZhuJiuyin✭✭✭✭✭Subclassing isn't the problem, balancing is.
I'm actually quite surprised that ZOS hasn't yet used class sets and class mastery as a means to balance subclassing, given their significant potential. If using pure classes increased the effectiveness of class sets and class mastery by 50% or granted additional buffs, it would definitely increase the appeal of pure classes. Even without using pure classes, class sets could serve as a way to strengthen a single skill line, instead of being essentially useless as they are now."是燭九陰，是燭龍。"──by "The Classic of Mountains and Seas "English is not my first language,If something is ambiguous, rude due to context and translation issues, etc., please remind me, thanks.0 -

Yes, Mrs Lincoln, other than that how was the play?

✭✭✭Yes, please make a pre-U46 server, so all the complainers can have somewhere to play by themselves. All 100 of them (khajiit is feeling generous) - server probably could be a beowulf cluster of a half dozen 486s running Tiny Core with a 14" CRT.

No need for sarky responses.
As has been pointed out repeatedly in this thread, if you chose to go for score pushing & high end game trials, you will be told by the raid lead what to bring. You can’t just rock up with whatever you like & go for trifectas.
Now they tell you what to bring including the subclasses - what is the difference?
And subclassing is fun for those not pursuing such things. So why get rid of it?

From about 6 allowable builds per role to 1 - the opposite of build diversity.
Subclassing needs to allow build diversity at all levels or it needs to go.

From what I recall from guildmates doing harder stuff over the years, that really does not hold true - their raid leads were always very specific about the exact builds required.
So it seems it is the raid leads & not the subclassing per se that is the issue?0
