TL:DR: I am trying to improve my experience with ESO by trying to make it more like Morrowind instead of worrying about all the kiddies with biggest baddest damage potential and "The Meta". For me I looked over the old school pre-made classes and said okay ...I like spellswords take a look below for my input and questions.

And as always....F*@! the Meta.

Hi everyone,

been fooling around mostly with all the different classes (Sorc, Templar DK and NB) trying to get the flavor of each class.

I am finding each class is very fun overall and each really makes the game different in its own manner.

My favorite role to play these days is more of a support role and traditionally speaking enhancing myself to become stronger in melee (also dual wielding swords or 1 hand sword + spell other hand...or Gandalf style staff + sword which I cant do...)

To give an idea of a familiar specific class it would be like the Mesmer from guild wars 2...Melee based...Greatsword + Dual Swords.

Supports his teams with portals, utility but also does a lot of DPS.

I see each class to be very specific and has traits similar to a spellsword...however I am confused which one best fits the theme.

Dragonknights
- Destruction skills - fire based - makes sense
- Self buffing makes sense
- Melee based and good synergy

Templars
- Restoration skills for support
- Good damage
- Literally casting a spell while fighting in melee (Reflective light)
- Jesus beam!!!!

Sorc:
- Most obvious
- Lightning and overload AWESOME
- PETS AWESOME
- selfbuffing armor and crit surge awesome!!!
- not much in terms of melee synergy

Nightblade
- alteration magic
- Good synergy melee
- Not really "spell-y"

What does the community think?

I cannot make up my mind at all and feel I am just going to go back to GW2 simply because I feel I cannot decide to get the class I want.

I have gotten each class to 20 and have a BASIC (limited) feel for each and what to expect however as much as I hate it - it will change eventually as the meta evolves endgame where in Vet content I cannot use perhaps dual wield or I cannot use what worked while leveling.

Its both good and painful sadly.
