Which spec/class do you think the devs play the most ?

vpy

As the title states
It is a light hearted post mates

Qbiken

Magicka Sorc

Magsorc because of reasons....;)

Blacksmoke

They don't play the game

Turelus

Well in the case of Rich we know because he shares his character names/classes in tweets etc.

As for others I am not sure. I would guess a mix though, it's easy to do the tinfoil hat thing of "this class is best because devs play it" however I am pretty sure you normally get sacked for pulling that kind of stuff.

Vapirko

Magicka Sorc

but the devs playing it is definitely not an indication it's the best tuned class. No, it needs bigger shields and more burst and also stamina class needs to lose its mobility and no more stam gap closers and and and wahhhhhhh.

Everybody knows they don't actually play their own game. ESO would be a much better place if they did :^)

But like... a number of them do and they talk about it. Rich and Brian have both spoken about PvP play before, Rich also does dungeons via the group finder on PC NA.

I would imagine the others simply don't wish to share their character names because they don't want all the abuse that comes with it. If they're playing in their spare time to enjoy the game they make they're not going to want whispers from people demanding sorc nerfs.

I know two of the devs pretty well irl (I'm local to the studio)... they are definitely vested in, care very much about, and indeed do play around in the game

Subversus

Magicka Sorc

Always easy to answer these questions. You have to look at what class is still stupid OP even after the supposed "nerfs".

Also I'm pretty sure ZOS players keep getting killed by magblades, that is the only thing that would explain their hatred towards my class

Dr.NRG

Magicka Sorc

not sure if the most or least but class is definitely not on par with the other ones.

Mz_Jo

IF they play it"s called MAG SERVER

FloppyTouch

Magicka Sorc

I think it goes without saying

GreyWolf_79

None of the above. If they're smart, they play as guards.

Morgul667

Stamina DK

It actually feels like they dont play the game, but id say DK

subtlezeroub17_ESO

Thinly veiled nerf magicka sorc thread. I see you OP.

ccfeeling

Magicka Sorc

Don't let ZOS know the answer , they are promoting something "Diversity"
Are they

Aisle9

Magicka Sorc

well...

MLGProPlayer

I can say with confidence they've never taken a magicka warden into PvE endgame. There is no way you can release a class so astronomically underpowered if you've tested it.

Jitterbug

Stamina Sorc

Im pretty sure @ZOS_RichLambert plays a stam sorc and that @Wrobel plays a magicka one, but thats all the info I have.

Feanor

I do think they play, albeit not that much. Otherwise the glaring bugs wouldn't take as long to get fixed as they do, and it's pretty clear they often have no clue about what's going on in the game. The episode about Brian Wheeler and his unintended comically postings about the AP farm exploit or the issues surrounding the BG queue tell us as much.

I thought Rich was a Templar? Although I think he has a lot of characters as I know he shared his Warden on Twitter a while back because of the funny name.

MarzAttakz

NONE OF THE ABOVE

They only play The Fool

dsalter

Magicka Sorc

if you saw some old clips of them doing pvp with players they called burst stamblades using procs good and skilled...

dennissomb16_ESO

I am sure they play them all. As to the class they play personally for fun I am guessing it changes over time just like the normal player base

DeHei

Magicka Sorc

Only class, which can handle every situation, has most access to possible playable builds and is allways a bit stronger then all other classes since Release!

Nothing to say more...

Just one, the only real nerf i saw, was this duration for shields.. but this hitted all classes. When i look to my Templar, which things changed i feel really sad. For example Sorc can use hard CC is different ways. All of them are useful, deal damage and CC..
Templar only have 2 and they they need to choose wisely. One singletarget CC with very short duration and nearly no damage, but on range. Another for single target, but i need to go in meleerange for it. This gives good CC duration but deal nearly no damage too ... No real reason to take it away from blazing spear, but logic dont excist!

*sarkasm on*

Why not giving Mag Sorc more stun, while stealing it from other classes, to see the difference more!

*sarkasm off*

Think about it... the forums are always calling to buff them... it's all to prepare us to accept buffs for them.

You get an insightful for that one... I almost missed it.

Azurya

Magicka Sorc

they play for sure just magicka classes and there most likely sorc, because that class becomes ALL the LOVE and multiple gifts and bonuses, and all other classes they HATE, especially stamblades!

I said it!

Asmael

Stamina Sorc

At least that's the case for Rich, might be one of his favorite class from what I've seen (but maybe he can tell us himself ).

Can't say about the rest.

Oh yeah, that's right. The stamplar.

Sorc. You don't see nerfs to sorcs.
