The Most Fun

The_Lex

I wanted to post something a little different today. There are plenty of posts about sustain, BGs, and specific builds. But I would like to hear about your favorite class/character. By now, many of us have leveled up multiple characters to get a feel for what we liked the best. So I ask you, what is your favorite character to date? Not necessary the character with the highest DPS, but which one was the most fun for you? After voting on the class itself, feel free to leave a comment explaining why you found that character to be the most fun.

Why are there no options for hybrid Templar and NB? Because I run those 2 and they work like a charm this patch.

It would have been difficult to envision all the potential combos for hybrid characters.

For myself, the most "fun" is the character I do overland content with, pretending its not an MMO. Just go around doing quests and killing stuff. Its not at all an optimal build (stam nightblade, vampire, dunmer) running all health recovery sets and skills, but I enjoy it.

On the other hand. The character I enjoy playing for group content is a mag sorc. Simply because of ease of use and compatibility with others.

My trial build is a mSorc because of it's easy rotation and overall power. But it's not my favorite, either.

I love my sneaks, and while my magblades do sneak better by virtue of their magicka pools, there is just something so fun about sneaking up for a perfect backstab, and then Steel Tornadoing and Flurrying them to death before they even know what hit them.

Fear my dual daggers of spinning doom!

I'm a glutton for punishment. Stamblade 2h Mace/Bow without an itinerary.

I have a lot of fun with my stamblade. Love being able to choose what targets I fight or cloak by undetected.

Two people voted for Warden already. Maybe I should have added separate enties for magicka or stamina. It seemed a bit early, though.

Only 3 Templars? I would've thought they would be much higher. Not as much fun as it seems, I guess?

Magicka Sorcerer

Interesting you should ask - I nearly answered Stam NB because that's my main, and I really do enjoy him - he plays just about exactly the way I want him to play - mobile, deadly, melee, dangerously squishy

but the truth is, I had to be honest - my Mag Sorc is just...more fun. All the spell damage skills are just...more interesting. Between the lightning line and the destro staff, I get a huge range of potential outputs for my skills, with flame knockbacks, lightning executes - everything the sorc does is flashy and explodey - well, at least, everything MY sorc does, and I can swap between total lightning, flame, and frost relatively easily so that I get all these exciting flashy effects pretty much at will

and then, of course, I can swap resto and heal myself back up, pets if I wanna go that direction - and some halfway decent mages guild skills that seem to thematically fit pretty well as well

in short, my sorc is glowy and flashy and wooshy and as far as pure moment-to-moment OOOH AAAAH effect, I guess my sorc is my winner for pure fun factor

My NB is still my main and always will be though

Magicka Nightblade

Magicka Nightblade.

Started the game with him as a hybrid (because didn't read any information on mechanics), as I started to read more mechanics and had a friend teach me how to PvP as magicka he became more and more like a caster (staff, magicka skills etc.) and I have since then fallen in love with the idea of him being a Soul Magic caster.

P.S ZOS if you're reading this, about that "make Nightblades in PvP more stealth attack based"; don't screw up my soul magic wizard. I'll buy some more Crowns soon, just don't ruin this for me.

Btw, mNB is the only class I haven't tried yet (aside from Warden, but I'll wait in that until later).

All fans of Dark Souls will love the Nightblade class.

Magicka Templar

Warden has been pretty fun so far ... but I've logged the most miles on my dedicated heals.

Probably my Imperial stam Templar tank. (I named her Ellen's Unbearable Lightness of Being but it was too long) 48k health and endless stam from repentance. At least under the Homestead meta few bosses could even touch her health.

So much love for Stamblade.
