Trying to figure out what I should do, but I am confused.

Soafee

New player here. I'm trying to figure out what I would like and I'm a bit confused on the way things work with characters in game.

I enjoy playing a healer but would like to be able to quest with out dying a lot. Which class would you suggest I try in game? Is one of them a hybrid class that can heal but do decent dps while soloing? How do I make them? What would you suggest?

Do you think I would have more fun with a pure healing class with spells? Which one does that?

I like the Imperials, I have the white horse that fits perfectly but I don't understand the class selection I guess? Could use some help. Thank you!

Oh and one more thing. If I skip the tutorial, how do I get weapons in the beginning?

If you skip the prison, you still get a few weapons starting gear. You'll just have no money. Also, since you can't skip it until the second playthrough, hopefully your first character can help gear your new character.

And any healer can solo 1-50 content. Just mix in some other skills when you are soloing. Save the 100% heals loadout for when you are with a group.

Are they in my inventory? I made a mage and skipped the tutorial and I had nothing, I was using my fists. LOL

Yes, you should also have a box with an armor piece in it.

If you would like to heal, choose a Templar. (My character is a Redguard Templar, healing focused, and I enjoy it very much) They have one skill-line focused on healing, whilst two others more focused on dealing damage (one more melee, one more ranged focused). And of course you can use any weapon of your choice too.

The way the game is set up mechanical wise, it's usually preferable to focus on either magicka or stamina, not so much both. To that end if you'd like to be a heal (which uses Magicka for skills) you would be best served when dealing damage to focus on skills that also use magicka too. Of course there are exceptions, but that is the general rule.

Class selection for the most part is primarily for flavour. Each race has a couple of passives that can help a little in some areas of combat/game-play, but they will not make or break any type of character class you want to play. If you like the Imperials then have your character as an Imperial!
