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.

    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 am Queen of Typos. If you don't see "Edited by BlackSparrow" above this line, please assume my account has been taken over by scamps and react accordingly.

    My Girls:
    "Elsweyr, yay or nay?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "If circumstances try to drive me there, maybe. Right now, it just sounds like a lot of sand in my boots."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "The simple thought of it dries my scales. I ventured into Elsweyr long ago, but I may be getting too old to make the journey again."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "This one looks forward to seeing her home sands again. Perhaps she will make her home village many fish sticks!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "I could do much with a good dragon hide."
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "I see little need to muck about some ancient tomb. Too much work to do elsewhere. No, that was not an intentional pun."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton thief: "Stealing from the Ban Daar is always a fun challenge. Sometimes, they steal their stuff back!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "While I try to stay at Swum-Many-Waters' side, the whispers of an undead threat worry me."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "Perhaps. The lady Mephala spins many webs, and I can see there being benefit in sending me into the path of an undead invasion."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hear there will be dragons. I would be a disappointment to my Nord heritage if I did not try to slay them."
    Madam Argentia, dunmer aristocrat: "I have little desire to waltz across the desert for weeks at a time. It's terrible for the complexion."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'm kinda busy up in Wrothgar, sorry!"
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "The Khajiit usually throw some nice contracts my way. I'm sure Jimila will have something that will take me there."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one is happy to check back on her homeland after grand adventures drew her away! Let the kittens call her -dra instead of -daro now!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "My lady Meridia does detest the undead. I may need to sneak out on my duties on Artaeum to address it."

    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

    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. :wink:
