Which character do you find hardest to play?

NightHawkRaven
I have characters in magic and stam versions in all classes, but for the life of me I can not Tank. It's not the mechanics, it's because I have absolutely no sense of direction. The map seems to confuse the heck out of me, it feels in reverse and I end up going in every direction but the correct one. The tank usually leads the way..... Hmmmm, not my role at all. LOL

    None are particularly hard, but templar is my least favorite. Sorc used to be my least favorite until they got hurricane and such, and that made sorc much more enjoyable for me.

    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies

    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    I dont think any of the builds I have are hard to play. They just play differently and so require me to approach a problem differently. My Sorc and Magblade require me to stay at a distance for the majority of a fight because Ill otherwise get burned down rather quickly. My Magplar is probably one of the easiest though since It easily transitions between upclose combat to healing making it rare for me to die on that character regardless of what Im facing. My Stamblade cuts through just about everything and while its a single-target heavy build Ive learned to use things like Hysteria to really control the flow of the battle so I can quickly and mercilessly cut down my enemies. My MagDK is probably the slowest to get through anything but its because hes a very heavy tank with just enough DPS to solo through content without dying of boredom. My Stamplar is probably the most difficult right now because I really havent put in the effort to actually make the build work. But even then, I still rololololol thorugh the content.

    I cannot play as templar at all. It is not because of how hard or easy it is, but the constant urge to vomit while using that bs class.

    Other, normal classes, I would say that stamina NB is pretty unforgiving in solo PvE, followed with mNB. Then both sorcerers. Then the class I have most hours spent on, mDK. And I do find sDK pretty easy to play. This is completely subjective, I simply spend a ton of time in ESO as DK.

    For me the hardest would have to be any form of DK. I guess this is because my 1st character I played past level 20 was a Templar, which had great self-healing, then going to a stamina DK without Vigor and not using 2-hander.... it stank. lol

    My easiest characters are magplar & magblade. I'm sure ppl say magblabe is hard because I'm not playing mine in a 'meta' form or for/in end-game stuff... but I find the way I play magblade to be dead easy in PvE questing. lol. Only difference really is magplar has better AoE than the magblade... but both have great healing and survivability for me.

    Meanwhile I still can't seem to play DK, either magicka or stamina. I know this is an issue with me, since I just can't my head around how to fight as a DK while self-healing. I knowe they do have ways, but they just seem ... not so great options for me. And yeah I know, don't need self-healing if you kill everything first... but I also can't play like that. lol

    Stamina NB w/o vigor can be rough, since it's healing is either gash since you don't have much magicka (so heals from swallow soul, refreshing path, etc are bad), or relies on you killing things fast. Health back by killing is ok in groups of normal foes, but 100% useless against tougher foes, sub-bosses and bosses (PvE quest bosses are usually alone). Sure you can mitigate some more damage by increasing your resists all the time, but that only goes so far.

    In all the pvp games that I play, I'm bad at dps kinds of characters, especially those that are melee ranged. I'm only good at support characters, and I think it's all mostly because I find playing a support role more enjoyable so I find it easier.

    Changed my magblade from PvE to PvP as im finding it easier to play on there.

    Magblade is horribly difficult to maintain efficiently for people who arent always on their magblades, screw up the rotation and well you're done for that fight.

    I have a 50 stamblade and a 50 templar. I've had my templar since day 1 launch so it is a bit easier yet I still think I prefer when I have ran it as stam rather than magicka. Stamblade is new thinking that I could do better with it than stamplar and took my templar back magicka and have done better in dungeons like that but not sure for PvP yet. The playstyle kind of bores me though.

    Debating flipping their gear sets and going magblade and stamplar again.

    I've only got 2 max level templars and a mag DK but the templar (mag) is so mind numbingly easy it just turns me off from playing. I mean when all I do half the time or more is puncturing sweep, sweep, sweep, finish the fight with full health, where's the skill in that? My mag Dk on the other hand is very challenging, especially when I heal.

    I've also got 1 of everything and I find stamina much easier.

    But mostly, tanking. It's all about tanking. I'm considering turning all 8 of my characters into tanks.
    Tanking is awesome.

    I don't know to be honest since I only have a melee magblade (edit: who used to be stamblade bowtard until I hit V10, then went hybrid and turned fully magblade around 1.6).

    I was tempting to start a Templar and I got her to lvl 20 and so far no difficulties. But I stopped as soon as I heard about warden.

    So my hardest is Magblade and is also my easiest one. I'm not an altoholic but I do want to try another class someday.

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Im honestly confused about how people are finding Magblades so hard. My Magblade set up is simple and the rotation is easy to follow. And if I find myself getting tossed around a bit theres always my heals and shields on the backbar.
