I am trying to get back into the game and am looking for opinions on what the current fotm type class is for PVE. Tanking is what I enjoy the most so hopefully I can do that with said class.

Bhakura✭✭✭✭they all have their strengths and weaknesses, it all depends how good you play them.
mag DK probably easiest to tank with, made one myself, but its extremely boring to play
templar is fun but harder, less defensive skills and the few it has are as good as useless
sorc fun too, but i hate running around with toggles so dont like that either
havent tanked with NB so couldnt say, seen some very effective nb tanks though.0 -
amneziac✭✭Best PVE tank? Straight HP stacked sorc by far....like, worlds ahead of everything else.
Seriously tho, roll whatever floats your boat, everyone can get the job done.0 -

Cant tell if you guys are being serious or trying to troll me, lol. Is a Sorc tank actually viable for group PVE? I had heard that they were awesome for solo with the pets but hadn't seen anything about them being really good for group content.0 -
Stannum✭✭✭✭DK = best CC tank (avarage group support)
NB = best DPS+healing tank, bad CC (good group support)
Tamplar = best heal survival tank bad CC (good group support)
Sorc = avarage CC, best shields survival tank (low group support)0 -

When you put it that way it seems like NB would be more my style atm. I always favored the DK/SK type classes in MMOs and if it plays at all like that I may enjoy it.
Do weapon choices matter for solo/tank or can it perform the same with any weapons?Edited by amantvoulub14_ESO on November 3, 2015 8:23AM0 -

Leifnier✭✭✭Best class for pve? Magicka sorc is the easiest, insane dps with overload and can ignore mechanics with shields.
But for tanking the best class by far is DK. Landslide victory. Next best is templar, then Nb then sorc in last.0 -

Do you think the NB idea mentioned earlier would work fine for both tanking/solo?0 -

Care to point me to any guides for them online? Can't seem to find any that are updated.0 -

✭✭You should probably go magicka for selfhealing, and focus heavily on the siphoning tree.
The Double Take from Assassination is also awesome for dodge change and fear is great for CC.
Dont know what you mean by guide.
Basically you want a taunt on your bar and then focus on making the job as easy as possible for your healer.0 -

Leifnier✭✭✭Nb has the ability to tank all current veteran dungeons, it's not as easy as other classes though.
Nb also has the ability to do very good dps (not as strong as others, but you won't be disappointed.)
Though what someone else said was completely wrong, NB doesn't have great self healing in its stamina form, and it DOES have great CC.
If you are going to tank, it's pretty much required to be a stamina based build now with stamina not recovering while blocking anymore0 -

Just google for "Sap tank" may be guides are not updated but you can catch the main idea anyway and then modify your gamplay tactic

For as long as you choose based on fotm you will always be doomed to constantly re-roll. Biggest waste of time. They are fot MONTH for a reason. Not flavour of the year or decade. Time you reach v16 there will be a new fotm. As someone said previously any class can tank so pick whichever YOU like and wont quit after a month.0 -

✭✭Magicka sorc makes 99% of PvE content face->keyboard trvial. Stack your mana and spell dmg, cast shields, and overload for 30k dps all at once.0 -

I really wish that was true. But fotm tends to stay on top way longer than a few months in ESO. Mainly because they wont update and tweak passives and skills on a regular basis, like other MMORPG's do. They only do it to some extent when releasing new incremental patches. But if that patch is DLC/content based, kind if like Orsinium or IC, they wont look into class balance at all really, just fix smaller bugs.
Also why people get so damn salty when discussing class and build balance in ESO, because we all know that any disparity will stick for at least half a year, after the patch goes live.
Last major "balancing" patch we had was 1.6, almost 8 months ago. Meta haven't really changed that awfully much since than. Different variations of stamina builds, sorcs and NBs.
Even better example, look how long DK's where master race of both PvE and PvP in ESO, roughly a year.
So rest assure, if OP makes a shield stacking sorc for Orsinium PvE(current fotm), he wont feel the need to re-roll next month.0 -

I am used to having all classes maxed out and they usually get maxed during their fotm phases. Some people say play for fun but for me, "fun" is being able to min-max as much as possible.0
