Hi everyone! I've return to Tamriel already. I have not played eso since patch 1.3 and I want to know a couple of things.

Nightblade - It's finally a good choice for stamina builds in both pve/pvp environments? It will be on update 7? Can be good for solo players and small battles? I love bow and DW.

Sorcs - Still a mess class with low DPS and messed up things? Last time I checked, the class suffers from many things and it's not on pair with the rest. Still only "good" as magika user? Can play stamina builds?

Templar - Similar to Sorcs but was "the" healer. How is doing Templar dps atm?

Dragon Knight - I suppose they wiill remain as gods, as usual.

Thanks guys, too much to rediscover with the latest patches.

    Most of the bad stuff from beta has been fix. NightBlades now are really good with stamina AND magicka. Sorcs are a beast in pvp, amd yes as you have seen.. Templars are awesome as well. Best survivability.

    Yes, Stamina NIghtblades are mighty currently, stronger than Magicka Nightblade. But it's safe to say, that Magicka Nightblades will be superior with the coming update

    Few things changed here. Sorcerer dps is still far behind other classes.
    Stamina Sorcerer improved definately. But other stamina classes perform better as it seems.

    Templars are much better dps wise. I remember, when they were really bad dps wise in 1.3. Templars now have Radiant Destruction, strongest execute in the game, procs at 50% health.
    The best DPS I know is a Magicka Templar, but people claim stamina Templars are better DPS, which I can not confirm. But for pvp, stamina Templars might indeed be better.

    Well, people learned to handle them better, that's it. The nerf to reflective scales it barely recognizeable unless you don't have 10 projectiles incoming in 1 second. But DKs aren't gods anymore.
    DK tanks are as good as unkillable in pvp and DKs in PvE reach the highest dps of all classes. This has been the case since the game exists and did not change.

    And when I'm talking about DPS and so on, I'm saying this from a PvE perspective. I think that's what you were asking for.

    Ok guys, thanks for your answers. Just a single more question. How are NB ability for soloing pve nowdays? Are they capable to match dk/templar/sorc? I remember sorc with pets were gods soloing VR content, like bosses and dolmens, even delves bosses. DK/templar were almost immortal, but NB can't kill *** by himself. Not because don't have good damage, but self heals.

    I see some VR14 videos doing well in Craglorn as NB MAG or STAM, but that's VR content with good gear, what about level 1-50 and else?

    I love more NB for the ganking style, and their awesome skills like fear, ambus or SS. I love sorcs too for bubles, teleport and good burst. Which one is the right choice for pve/pvp in update 7? Yeah I know they are all, but lets be honest, someone has to be more "easiest".

    No class should have the slightest problems with soloing pve content. It depends on how good you're playing your class.
    But solo pve stuff really shouldn't be a problem as soon as you can control your class :)
