Most popular class in PvE?

Popular as in who do you see the most of?

Great endgame DPS and tanks, I'd figure they'd have the most.

I see more templars in PvE than any other classes. Then sorcs

Actually according to other polls a lot of people seem to have little interest in the class.

Ultimately they may be popular for a little while after morrowind launches, but I think it'll die down when people realize it's a jack of all trades class, not a master of all trades.

Yes, while it is a fun class to play, we do badly at nearly everything.

Deal small amounts of damage and die quickly. No real way to heal.

I am playing my sorc more and more and there is no comparison.

Nightblades

I love my stamblade but she's mostly doing tradeskills these days.

RT_Frank

Dragonknights​

I only use my nightblade for thieves guild and dark brotherhood crap. I don't even gank on it because my sorc does a better job in pvp.

Honestly, sorcs are just such a solid class for trials, dungeons, and vma but I imagine there's gonna be a lot of dks running around when morrowwind drops for all the dark elf RPers. That and warden of course...

I've noticed an insurgence of not only Sorcerer DPS characters, but also healers. I'm led to wonder why.

At least I'm one of the nightblades that is on all leaderboards except vMoL with it

I actually like my magblade the most of all my chars right now... Followed by mag dk.

I see sorcerers everywhere, which is why I voted for them.

I think the number of NBs in trials has more to do with Sustain than anything else. In all other forms of PvE, I see a pretty even distribution among the classes. NBs just have bad sustain, but have awesome burst. They can burst down mobs just fine. But going up against a 6,000,000 Health Boss, things get dicey for them.

Um, what? Siphoning Attacks is pretty much the best resource management tool in the game. NBs don't make a frequent appearance in trials because they deal less sustained DPS than the other classes, and all of the orbs flying around makes their sustain less necessary.
