Can You Help Me Decide A Class?

Ok, so hello everyone. Im finally deciding to switch to PC from Xbox One, and im curious as to which class I should level first. The main thing im looking for is a class which can grind very effectively (to level quickly) and also a class which is pretty good in PvE (to get my undaunted shoulders and helmets). I would prefer a stamina class, however magicka wouldnt be too bad. Thanks :)

    That is almost true... Stamina Nightblades are likely still better in Pvp. XD

    I'm a fan of Magicka Templars its a pretty versatile class good heals etc.. a good all around class and puncturing sweeps isn't bad when it comes to grinding. I would recommend Magicka Sorc but it sad to see them gut the class.

    Magicka Templar has Sweeps, heal as you damage AoE. Nothing beats that for leveling. Stam Templar with Repentance is also good.

    Magicka Templar because we're fun and versatile! I prefer the ranged magic skills though as opposed to the melee stabby stab, but if you're a fan of melee already you can go either way with Templar. Plus having heals and buffs is awesome too. :)

    Templar levels really easily, and is rather effective as stamina or magicka.

    Dragonknight would be my second suggestion, but in my experience they do level slower than Templar, and you listed speed of leveling as one of the things you wanted.
    Why be normal when you can be better?

    DKs are best at everything, except healing.
    Either you go stamina and become a god among DPS or Magic and become one of the best group supporters in the game while still being a strong DPS, you can't go wrong, not to mention they're the best tank class in the game.

    Ok thanks guys, I think I'm going to go with a Stamina Templar firstly, to gain my 160+ champion points (which I could do in roughly a week) and then begin levelling one of each class so when they hit level 50 they will all be the equivalent of v16. Thanks to all for helping me out and voting :)

    I like your picture and even appreciate the feeling, but don't advise a new player to make a character they won't enjoy playing once they are done with questing please... ^^

    Started one a month ago and it seems really good for PvE especially if you can stack healing recieved plus good DOT use and it seems like the only class to synergize with argonians which is rare

    I know the feeling. But hey, DK rules! I think everyone can agree on that.

    At least to quest nothing beats my sorc. It is my first character and I'm only 110 CP though. I tried them all with the exception of a DK and everything... is.. just... so... squishy. Even a fabled templar died in two hits against common world bosses. I have no idea how it will work at end game though, so I will refrain to vote on the poll. I do dislike sorcs throwing two ground based AoE DoTs since bosses just run around which makes it a waste, but since all magicka classes use Blockade it is moot.

    If you want to be mediocre in solo PvP or have to run 6 damage skills simultaneously between weapon weaves for PvE dps then mDK is the right class.

    Personnally I went for Stamina Templar because I just like the playstyle. It's a strong AoE class which do benefit from a lot of bonus that can really turn it into an efficient DPS. It's not as good as the DK is but overall I just prefere that class.

    Personnally for best overall performance I would still choose a DK but Stemplar is always nice to play and a good group addition in most situation.
