How much of your class abilities do you use?

Chieve

I'm a sorcerer, and I heal, so on my restore skill set I have none...

And on my dps side I find I use more destro staff skills over my class skills

Lightninvash

I use a lot of mine im a Templar healer/dps would say a minimum of 2 on each bar

Hope499

80% easy.

Brrrofski

On my sorc, only thing I use that isn't from my class skills is a restored staff heal, force pulse and dawnbreaker...

Almost complete opposite to you.

On my Dk, my tank bar is all Dk skills except the shield taunt.

Dps bar is mainly two handed, but I do out chains and talons in there for dungeons. Not so much on pvp

kurioskurion

I'm pretty high too. about 80%

Chieve

I'm just curious, I'm not sure if I should be using any class abilities. The only one I have on my restore staff line are my ultimates. I know for the resto side, I shouldn't use any...because I don't have any class healing spells lol but on the dps side I feel like i should be using more of them

Cillion3117

I have a Templar that has nothing but 2H abilities on his bar with WW for the ultimate. He's lvl 35 now and doing real good.

LameoveR

In PVE questing i use 3 bars with sorc class abilities.
Single target:
Crystal Frag
Power Surge
Boundless Storm(or whatever magicka morph is called)

AoE:
Liquid Lighting
Shattering Prison
Hardened Ward

3rd Energy Overload bar for world bosses:
Clannfear
Crystal Frag
Power Surge
Hardened Ward

Templar here, when healing it's like 50-60%

When in IC, almost 100% (Entropy I think is my only non class one)

When questing.. almost none (as that's when I throw whatever I need to level on my bar, whether it makes sense or not lol)

AlnilamE

On my sorc's destro bar: 3 class, 2 destro + MG Ultimate (or atronach sometimes)

On the resto bar: 4 class 1 resto (plus random ultimate - soul magic one right now)

When she's healing then her resto bar gets 3 resto 2 class.

My NB right now is 4 class + Mage light on bar 1, and 3 or 4 class + Mage light on bar 2.

Yuke

3 out of 12.

stam "dk" op

Bfish22090

On my sorc, every ability I use is class. 12/12

Stam dk. I use ferocious leap and reflective scale

Callous2208

Stamplar here. Main bar, 2h, only 1, sometimes 2 depending on ult. Swap bar resto or bow, atleast 3.

If your build is working overall you don't necessarily need any class skills, but it may be handy to level some up for situational use. For example I just started leveling Rune Prison (CC) on one of my sorcs. Don't know how often I'll use it, but it turned the last WB fight I did (3 bosses including a healer and a summoner) from "difficult" to "pretty easy".

Depends on the character and the build. While I'm still leveling the class skill lines I typically make sure I've got at least 1 skill from each of them on my bars. After that, it totally depends. I've got one NB who currently hasn't got a single class skill on one of her bars - it's Evil Hunter and 4 different skills from the two-handed skill line, with the WW ultimate slotted (the other bar is a bow bar and has 3 class skills and 3 bow skills slotted, including ultimate). Then I've got a Templar who has a healer setup in which one bar is nothing but class skills, and the other is a mix of class and resto staff skills.

So it totally depends. I also have some of my characters set up with training skill bars using Wykkyd's Outfitter. So I save a set of skills based on what I need to earn XP in, and swap to that set before handing in quests.

Van_0S

For magika sorc 90%, stam sorc 20%, magika NB 60%, stam NB 45℅.

ADarklore

For my Stam Sorc, I only use three class skills... Clannfear, Critical Surge and Hardened Ward, all the rest are weapon abilities; Bow and DW along with a couple of Fighters Guild abilities.

r.jan_emailb16_ESO

5-6 + ults, magicka dk

Sithisvoid

Nightblade- I use at least 3 per bar

EDS604

running stamina templar. jabs + repentance + toppling charge. rest is all weapon skills and vigor

leepalmer95

Stam dk, i use 2.

Tomato

2/12 for DK

Chieve

Alright thanks everyone all this info has been really useful

Forestd16b14_ESO

Well I do use 4 of my draconic skills for the elder dragon passive. Boost health recovery the more draconic skills you have slotted so volitile armor, reflective fire scales, green dragon blood and take flight perfect for a tank set up.

Dracane

As a Sorcerer I only consider 3 abilities worth slotting. Crystal Fragments, Hardened Ward and (since 1.7 argueable) Bolt Escape. The rest is some other stuff

slumber_sandb16_ESO

Stamina DK tank.

1h + Shield:
Ransack
Unstable flame or Heroic Slash/Deep slash depending on the situation
Invasion
Molten Armaments
Flames of Oblivion

2h weapon:
Critical Rush
Carve
Executioner
Rally
Flames of Oblivion


If the situation calls for it I'll switch out Invasion with Absorb Magic and Unstable flame/heroic slash with Immovable Brute for more defense.

Anhedonie

Healplar here

1.Extended Ritual
Breath Of Life
Luminous Shards
Mystic Orb
Repentance

2.Lingering Ritual
Breath Of Life
Luminous Shards
Structured Entropy
Channeled Focus

So 2 non-class abilities + shooting star/agressive warhorn as ult.

Aelthwyn

It varies between my characters. I've built some around weapon skills, some around class skills, some around guild skills, and then some are a mix.

Same!

Thymos

6 out of the 10 are class skills on my Stam NB. + one ultimate.

On my Templar Healer/DPS. I use 4 total, 2 on each bar.

On my old first character Sorcerer, I use 7 class skills.

Mojmir

About 80-85%
