Hey guys!
"TL:DR" - Sorc or Nightblade / Altmer or Dunmer - which is better as a class endgame for skills and which is the better race for racials for the class - cannot decide between the two"
Thanks for taking 2 seconds to read this post!

I would like to start off by saying I realize the "proper way" to play / enjoy this game and by proper I mean proper way for ME to play it.

I am so used to RUSHING to endgame, almost a "GO GO GO GO NOM NOM NOM" type of mentality (Guild Wars 2, Rift, Aion, WoW, Tera) and really not stop and enjoy the game for what it offers (exploring to explore, ignoring some of the flaws like public dungeons etc.)

I am a massive TES fan (Morrowind & Morrowind Game of the Year edition) were my deepest passions for years even post-oblivion.

Now about my situation:

- I have leveled a DK to 22 (Dunmer Dual Weild Heavy Armor)
- I have leveled a Sorc to 28 (Dunmer Dual Weild Heavy Armor focusing on Crystal Frag, Deadric Curse, Flurry combo + Bound Aegis + 1 Pet)

I am now starting a nightblade to try it out to around level 20 before deciding my actual main.

My problem is with the VR content because I know that the replayability will be BRUTAL to grind 1-50 then V1 - V10 for multiple classes for simple class abilities....absolutely insanely stupid....

That being said I prefer to have 1 main class.

I love my Sorc because its a close range Crystal Frag, Curse Flurry heavy armored tanking battlemage and the Lightning warrior really shines with me...

I love the CONCEPT of a nightblade being either a typical "assassin" or a bloodmage (Similar to Shadowpriest / Warlock combo in WoW)

My question is this:

At endgame are Sorcs more "loved" then Nightblades?
Are Sorcs for PVE focused while Nightblades PvP focused?

I will be focusing more on PVP to be honest (im 25 years old and own my own small business and don't have time for mega raiding like I used to)....

Lastly I know everyone says PLAY HOW YOU WANT TOO!!! but I need to ask....I love Dunmer because of my past with Morrowind (Vivec, Sotha Sil, Nerevar and things like Balmora and the Telvani - but the Altmer look GREAT in this game!!!

Also with Racial Stats - I will be going 5 Heavy Armor + 2 Light Armor for my build - would I want the racials of Altmer or Dunmer to compliment things?

I do not take into consideration the weapon leveling racials as that is not a major concern for me..

Sorry for the long post - but I actually like this game and would like it to be my main focused game for a long time (God willing)

Your friend and see you in the servers

    I know this is not what you want to hear but for a month I was like you, worrying about racials and class and all that stuff. After a month of that I decided I was gonna play what I wanted with no worries about numbers. I decided I was gonna play my favorite race. And guess what? I never looked back, I am having more fun then ever. Hopefully someone can help you with what you want.

    That kind of makes sense MetalPunks....thanks..

    Sigh - I cant then decide between Sorc and Nightblade then...

    Do I want a "Lightning Warrior" that can go to a traditional Mage later on..
    -or-
    Do I want a "Ninja" that can go to a bloodmage / Bloodknight later on....

    I guess NB might be more me...but still.

    I love Altmer - and the dominion - but now I feel I am betraying Morrowind for some unknown reason :(!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    FML....

    DAMN YOU ZENIMAX!!!! YOU MADE A DAMN GOOD MMORPG!!!!!!!!

    FUUUUU YOUUU!!!!!!

    i suggest you stick with sorc. it is what i am using i can still take groups of three in vet. areas with a bit of luck but i would change to light armor it gives you so much extra magic and you will need it also i suggest you put fire resist on some rings and wear them it has help me out so much also it is good in pvp against dragon night because most of there skills are fire based

    Sounds like you wanna be in the ebonheart pact. Just do it.

    As for nightblade or sorc here's my opinion.

    I always play the nightblade type. I love it. I played a nightblade almost to level 50 and got bored quick. The skills just didn't do it for me. I decided sorc and am happy I did. The great thing about sorc is it has passives in the skill trees that effect everything not just the skills. Stuff like cost of stamina and magic skills, love it. Nightblade is terribly broken I know but even still I just didn't like it. I can tear through enemies with my sorc, stuff I couldn't do with my nightblade. Go sorc!
