Best class for Veteran Ranks?

Mhylton44142

With all the buffs and nerfs, I don't want to waste my time playing a character and trying to level it up to the vet ranks if it isn't viable. I know people will say any class is viable, but I've been reading where this is nerfed or that is no longer any good or the other thing is way over-powered. Currently running a bow/2H stamina NB; is this going to be viable for veteran content, either PvE or PvP? If not, I would like to know which one would be worth the time to build up; I have a magicka based templar healer (which looks like they nerfed healing a little bit), I've also got a stamina based DK, a magicka based sorcerer, and a magicka based NB. I like playing all the characters but would like to know which makes the most sense for the late-game stuff. I mainly do PvE and group runs, but want to start dabbling in PvP once my character gets strong enough (I know about battle-leveling, but want certain skills before I jump in). Any thoughts anyone?

Any class is viable. All stamina builds are basically cookie cutters of each other regardless of the class. They all revolve around either wrecking blow (2h), snipe (bow) or steel tornado (dual wield).

Magicka builds are more varied, but all classes have a strong magicka build. A good magicka nightblade in IC right now is very hard to kill since they can choose when and where to fight.

If you wanted to play your templar healer, they're still the meta healers because of breath of life. Few skill swaps and a PVE templar healer becomes a very good PVP class with high CC and dps.

Play with whatever playstyle you like, magicka nightblade is the flavor of the month right now, but might not be so much after they nerf cloak.

If the PC is any indicator. You really wont see that many Magicka NB's. The damage is rather low compared to stam builds. But the survivability is pretty good.

Does it actually say anywhere they are nerfing Cloak? I don't see why, it's easily countered by 10 different ways.

You can make any class work. Just play whatever you feel like playing. Asking for build advice and the like is totally understandable, but wanting to make and level a class based on community feedback? Scary.
Oh, and DK. Just do it.
