What is the easiest spec for someone who sucks?

Actually_Goku

Asking for a friend

In all seriousness, an IRL friend of mine has just returned to the game. The highest he ever got was a level 20 DK tank.

So this a is double pronged question, and I expect there's 2 different answers;

1: which spec is the easiest to be good at? I personally want to say magplar, due to the heals. If you get in a bit of trouble you can just heal up, and away you go.

2: which is new-player friendly?

All input welcome

Magplar. Jabs and you are good until max level. I know it sounds silly simple but a frontal AOE that does good damage and keeps you healed to full. Does not get any easier then that.
Recently I had a friend join ESO. Told her to make templar, gave her some crafted level 4 green set gear, explained Jabs and she is now 40 has never died. (I make her green gear every 10 levels)

Pet Sorc.

I vote pet sorc

Magplar, without a doubt.

Magplar is easy if you want to do quests, sure. But Magplar is currently rather weak and not easy to be good with. The easiest build if you want to be actually good with little effort is stamina Sorc in my opinion, as it has tons of survivability, high damage, a easy rotation and pretty much all utility you would ever want.

Pet Sorc. 2 buttons will enable you to pull 20k DPS or more. One more button give you unbelievable survivability. Bar Swapping will give you even more damage and even more survival

Pet Sorc for sure as stated above. I recently turned my sorc into a Pet sorc and man.... I thought sorc was easy-mode before when I had no pet. With the pet, it's like playing on cruise-control. It's so easy that it's actually kind of boring to play with.

ACESsiggy

Has to be pet Sorc.... I see them everywhere

Pet sorc is great for scrubs and noobs but the others are for advanced players

It really depends on what his goal is.

You can level a magplar using one ability... easily. You can put that one ability as every slot on both bars and cruise through content.

However, if you friends goal is to get better... he might want to try something a bit more complicated. Like a mag dk or mag nightblade or something that is a little bit more challenging.

Wear heavy armor.. Seems like that's what everyone does now days to become "good"

Apherius

Magplar.

Tan9oSuccka

Sorcerer. Pet or not.

Easy mode.

Zorvan

As someone who sucks badly, i can say without a doubt: pet sorcerer.

ak_pvp

Petsorc, magplar or magblade.

Magblade can sneak past all the trash, petsorc and magplar hard to die. Magplar drops of a little in DD endgame but still good.

Sorc... Magplars are very sturdy at low levels because of sweeps, but pulling decent dps is much easier on a heavy attack sorc.
Keep in mind that magplar with sweeps is a melee build, and melee builds are trickier to play in dungeons, their main attack is a channel and their dps took a huge hit compared to some of the previous patches. And as a sorc you can just place a few dots on the ground, activate pet ability and heavy attack + use shield when needed. And you dont have to be in melee range so you wont die to bosses that have aoe attacks.

And yeah, I have a magplar main and dislike sorc pets. But I still think that pet sorcs are the easiest class in the game.

I like magplar, both for the jabs and the javelin ("Hey, get off me!")

But I can see why pet sorc is popular as well. Many noobs/not-so-goods have trouble with groups of mobs. The pets really help there

Rainraven

Petsorc is nice for the pocket tank/DPS/healer. If they don't like pets, stamsorc is powerful and not hard to pay, better option than magplar imo.

No offense to sorcs - I main one - but it really is THAT much easier than every other class.

GrigorijMalahevich

#nerfsorc so easy, much dps, best class

Imo StamDK w/ 2H is perfect for getting the hang of the basics of combat at low levels. Gap closer, DoTs, execute, AoE, major brutality, dmg shield: Basically all you'll ever need at around lvl 15-20. Works nicely in low-lvl pvp too.

I agree stam dk is nice for people who would prefer pvp later on but wanna get feel in pve, or maybe stamblade...

RebornV3x

For PVP Stam warden or Stam DK pretty much 2 buttons to press simple, effective and pretty cheesy spam Dizzying Swing and Executioner pretty much with a two handed weapon.

For PVE Mag sorc

JamilaRaj

I would spec for dual-wielding credit card warrior.

masatoyuki

Pet sorc and magplar, but pet sorc is a little safer/easier.
Really, any sorc is good.

Actually_Goku

It's a good one, when he's up for some proper end-game content being a Templar healer is the easiest entry point.
