Most/ Least Popular Class-Role Combinations

Dumac

So, out of interest-
What do people think are the most popular/ least popular class and role combinations?

For instance- Do you see millions of Stam 2H Nightblades and hardly any Magicka based Templar Damage Dealers?

Also, what race/ class combinations seem most popular? Orc Sorcs? Altmer DK Mages?

Fleshreaper

Most popular is going to be based on the cookie cutter builds. Class/Race/Spec.

Rook_Master

Some of the most popular:

Imperial Stamina Nightblade
Altmer Magicka Sorceror
Anything Khajiit(this game really brings out the cat freaks/furries)


Least Popular:
Orcs - Ugly and bad passives
Non-Imperial Human Races

I would also propose that Dunmer DK (of various roles) being fairly popular.

Least : Khajiit stamina templar

Lord Xanhorn

Wood Elf Magicka Nightblade tanks are everywhere! Geesh

Anhedonie

I have something even better. I can describe whole DC faction on EU with 3 words. Breton templar healer.
Can't even find dds or tanks in 500 members guild. That's just ridiculous.

Magic Based Templar DPS here.

I don't care about FOTM, or Min Maxing. As long as the mobs die before I do, life is good. Pun intended.

@Rook_Master
So that's every race covered except Argonian. How are they in popularity?

Sylvyr

Argonians are the master race, right?

Least popular is any role for sorcerer that isn't Magicka DPS.

Sorc still has tons of issues as a class and only shines as a magicka stacking build.

The terrible cooldown on critical surge persists and the skills is disgustingly expensive even for a magicka build. Tank sorcs, stam sorcs are stymied in almost every way.

With a sorcerer you have to go magicka or go home. And have everyone call your class insanely powerful and OP because of ONE build.

Meanwhile there is another class that is:

The highest sustained DPS/
The Highest AOE DPS
The best tank
Arguably the 2nd best healer

but nerf sorc.

Sorcs are a "non sense" class.

The only way to get into a group is as magicka DPS, sorcs tanks and healers are universally considered "crap" and won't even find a spot in 4 men pledges.

Having only one viable role would suggest DPS sorcs should totally rock. But sorcs can only do 14-15k DPS whereas DK/Temps can easily do 18-19k DPS. To make things worse, even with maxed magicka saving enchants, sorcs tend to just last up to 75% of a boss fight then they run out of magicka.

Honestly, I have no idea why anyone accepts a sorc in any group. They bring in inferior DPS and no valuable tank / heal spec.

I've got a Breton Sorc Healer. I dare you to try and burn all my magicka up! You definitely don't need a templar to heal vet pledges.

Well when something this good is allowed why not use it...

Magicka templar can solo the entire game easily including world bossed, group dungeons etc... and more importantly, it can do it easily with just 1-3 buttons....

Its by far the most popular.

I think that one of the more unpopular ones is stamina sorc... as they are not that good after the recent nerfs BUT its getting buffed(or so they claim) in the next major patch so you might see a surge(hehe) then.

Haha yeah I rolled a sorc tank on my main after 1.6 urinated all over my build. I've honestly never had it easier, hardened ward is a minimum 10k shield, when you stack that with annulement and thundering presence, you can too easily mitigate 20k+ without ever getting so much as a scratch to your health or your stamina. Being a tank you arent running max spell damage, so magicka managment becomes so much easier blah I've DPS'd after 1.6 with "awesome" DK tanks, and all it takes is a poorly timed block and they go squish, but as a sorc all you do is fart around spamming HW and taunt. If you get hurt REALLY badly... keep farting and spamming lol. And we all know how soft sorcs are in PvP

Would you agree with me when I say: (left to right)

Tank: Sorc, DK, NB, Temp
Magicka DPS: DK, Sorc, NB, Temp
Stamina DPS: NB, Temp, DK, Sorc
Healer: Temp, DK, Sorc, NB

Sorry I am obviously biased as a tank, DK's do have amazing sustain though, especially against the little stuff. Even after 1.6 they are still a really strong class to play

All of the combinations will work, even the sorc stamina combo... (there's a build out there that's super strong )

Worstluck

I've switched my NB back to magicka melee, and I've seen like two of us recently (I am one of them). This is in Cyrodiil ofc. I don't even bother pve'ing as magicka melee, it's stam bow/dw/2h NB or gtfo.

Magicka ranged NB just doesn't have the dps it used to. It's not terrible for pledge groups as it provides good support, but the dps just isn't there (compared to my DK).

I did the vet crypt of hearts pledge with a templar healer that just spammed BoL and nothing else and guess what he ran out of magicka.

The fact is any class can fill any roll and be successful in the hands of a good player with the right gear.
