What do you think is the all around worst class in the game

The implication being, it's some kind of badge of honor for you to enjoy the worst class in the game cuz you just "got the X factor" that makes it excel despite its shortcomings. Epeen, pure and simple.

I vote ZOS buffs NB/Stam so it is as powerful and as utilitarian as the current top class. After the buffs, you can lower your gear to maintain your pride of making lemonade from lemons.

To the first part... well no, not a badge of honor per see. I just don't give a f*** about being the top scoring player, if I can do the content that's good enough for me.

To the second... well, if they gonna buff NB I'll not complain.

I voted by my preference in play. I think nightblades have the worst of the game but I still like them hoping to unlock their secret set of powers. They have to be somewhere. They have to be! Um, but for me personally, I find the templar the most boring play of all the classes. Its very easy to play and use. There's nothing at all wrong with it. But it feels like such a chore to have to play one. Thankfully, I don't. So now I can get back to finding that one crack that will finally unlock why nightblades are so hated by ZOS yet loved by the players. Its there. I know it!

You probably won't like what they said during ESO Live on Twitch this last session...they mentioned that Sorc's are too powerful. If anything expect a nerf (this was not mentioned, just speculation).

Nightblade, easily, which sucks because it's been my main since day 1 on pc launch. Dragonknights have the best tanking tools, templars have the best healing tools, sorcerers have the best damage tools. Nightblades have always been marketed as a damage dealer, but they have poor sustain (which is getting even worse with morrowind), poor top end dps compared to any other class right now, poor survivability compared to other damage dealers, they have nothing to let them fill the role they were intended for.

This mostly comes down to the fact that the devs tried to make them entirely based on stealth and burst damage, which has absolutely no place in pve. Sure, they might be half decent gankers in pvp (until they cant one shot the target, and then get owned because they have no defense, sustain, or survivability), but that same kind of playstyle is completely useless in dungeons and trials.

I think a big part of the problem with this game's pve content is that crowd control is unnecessary. Look back to the world of warcraft days: on each pull in a dungeon, you wanted to hard CC at least one target. A rogue would sneak in and use sap, a mage would use polymorph, so on and so forth. In ESO, everything is just aoe'd down. Enemy damage isnt enough to worry about, healers can easily outheal everything, tanks can easily outtank everything, and enemies are soft enough that aoe damage can easily bring them down.

The entire design of pve in this game is fundamentally flawed because so many balance changes have been based entirely on pvp content.

templar

I know enough good guys on every class.. But there is a difference between PvE and PvP...
In PvE only Nightblades will be weaker then any other class for sure.

I vote for PvP and think about this:

Templar are the only class without good cc class skills and escape... heals give good survivalbility, but you get nearly all damage before.. with enough burst and cc in right moment are every Templar easy targets..

Nightblades have the lowest defense, but good escape and cc with burst. Haeavy armor weared nightblades are horrorble strong and magicka Nightblades can bring enough pain in short time..

DKs are fine. I think atm they really dont need great changes.. An escapeskill would be nice.

Sorcs have all you need: Good survivalbility with shields, best cc from all classes, good burst and an escape. In relation to all other classes i dont wonder why so many Mages show easy going 1vsX Videos....

A month from now we need to redo this with warden.

nightblade

For me I think Nightblade is the worst because If I am going to build a stealthy character I will focus on stamina while all my abilities are magicka based, doesn't make sense.

Also I feel that the nightblades abilities are garbage overall. In the end I made a nightblade with no class abilities just dual wield xD

100% worst is MagSorc cos they get blamed for too much crap on here by bad players that can't manage them.

I assume you mean bad by being poor, however it has many contents and Sorc Hate / Prejudice does make them suck

Dragonknights make you think, "Awesome powerful swordsman." But 98% of it's skills and morphs are Magicka. Dragonknights lose their appeal drastically when you're forced to use a Staff in order to make full use of the class.

@ArchMikem
This right here.

None. All of them have their strengths and weaknesses in different game types, roles, builds etc. There are too many variables to consider one better than the other.

For example nightblades suffer in end game pve but excel in pvp. So do they suck or are they good? Well, both... depends on the situation.

So yeah, pointless and generic poll, no offence

I almost never see any good nb stam or mag on pvp, I see only gangers who arnt to skilled and nonstop I see skilled especially sorcs, dk's and just healbots

May I ask what is considered a "good stam/magblade?

Warden. What a boring weak class.

Elvenpath

There is no worst class imho. There are bad players and playstyles.

someone who have no problem to kill any class in open fight in pvp and in pve someone who is able to do without problem any trials with hm but unfortunately almost no one want to take any nb to hm trials because of his lack in everything so we almost never see any nb in hm trials groups

In PvE at least the Warden is underwhelming at moment, but ok, leave the number crunchers some time to lvl and test one for several builds.

In fact everybody with some brain could guess already on the PTS and according the skill descriptions, that he is no new demi god.
