Also, are we really still hung up on magic sorcs? Exactly what are the best at anymore? The only arguments for magic sorc being OP is that they are perhaps the easiest class to pull reasonable DPS at end game. The are not the best ranged DPS, they certainly arent the best stam DPS, and they dont make the best tanks or healers. In PVP, they are certainly strong in the right hands, but that is true of any class. Shield stacking does not mitigate against multiple targets nearly as well as it used to, so other than perhaps ranged burst, they really arent first in anything. End of rant.
They're the best at bot trains
for real, sorcs are definitely powerful (and I admit that having a bunch of people on my death recap, but the final blow is just some guy spamming Mages Wrath is annoying as hell), but they're nowhere near as imbalanced as Homestead. I gotta practice with mine again, it's a fun class.
@rhapsodious
Yeah, the KB count definitely gets padded a bit on sorc, no question. But good sorcs dont just spam mages wrath. They line up burst damage between shields, which does actually take skill. Dont get me wrong. If I see a bunch of pugs about to wipe to a zerg train, I am certainly spamming wrath from the sidelines, but they were probably dead anyway. My favorite is probably when I get curse and wrath off on a clock-spamming NB right before they vansish. Like 3 seconds later there is a big explosion out of nowehere. The curse brings them out of cloak, and the wrath puts them in the ground. hahaAlliance/Platform: Ebonheart Pact - PC/NA - CP 1,300ish

Right, didn't mean to imply that all sorcs do is shield stack and spam MW. Just it's more noticeable, like how you only notice the successful ganks. You do you my man.

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, I can't forget my first loveI've been playing RPGs for about 25 years now, so I've got a pretty good idea of what I enjoy. When I get a new game it's just a matter of understanding how my preferences map onto the options given. I will usually make and delete a lot of characters early on to work it out, but in ESO I did that during the betas (was going to go Nightblade originally, settled on Templar instead as the closest fit for my usual TES characters.)
I've also never been one to care about 'meta'/flavour of the month builds or min-maxing so what I like to play isn't going to change based on what other people tell me is good right now. I just stick with whatever is the most fun for me.Edited by Danikat on December 7, 2017 10:13PMPC EU player. | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Donari✭✭✭✭Yes, I can't forget my first loveThe game's not alt-friendly enough for a casual player to focus on more than one character. I've been subbed non-stop since launch and I am now 7 feedings away from finally maxing my main's mount and just today finally maxed a third craft on my main and advanced her a bit further into Auridon's quests as she began in Ebonheart and completed that. (Sadly, before Homestead I had split crafts up, so my main has maybe 3 things researched in Clothier despite being max, whereas my original Clothier sorcerer has almost all the non-Nirnhorn traits researched but is only skill 20-30ish). My handful of alts barely even have 10% speed.
It helps that I really like my Redguard DK in looks and in RP backstory. I immerse in the game better on her than on my other characters, most of whom barely have personality kernels set up. It also helps that a single character has immense flexibility in build and role.
But really, as I only occasionally play, I can't possibly put in the time to raise a second character to anything like the amount of completion done thus far on my Redguard. In my other game I have over 20 max level alts and all the elite specializations unlocked, and each one took far less time to do than anything in ESO. -

✭I rolled a mag sorc first, so of courseWow, way to totally leave bias out of your poll!
Magsorc really isn't that OP in PvP or PvE. Magsorc had about 2 patches where it was king of PvE dps, and in PvP it's most deadly against total noobs and happens to steal a bunch of killing blows in Xv1.
It can be argued as one of the easiest classes to pick up and do decently on, but its maximum potential is middle of the road at best compared to other classes.PC/NA - Nightfighters, Raid Leader and Officer

Tips for how you can be an ESO Community Hero (Written and last edited by ZOS_GinaBruno at precisely 8:56PM, March 30th 2014.)Below are a few recommendations and tips to help you become one of the very best community members — a veritable hero — on The Elder Scrolls Online official community forums. These recommendations and tips also reflect the ESO core community philosophies.- Agree to Disagree: We have a very diverse community of individuals and groups who have a variety of interests, opinions, and backgrounds. Just like in every-day life, you will not agree with all the opinions you encounter here, and that’s okay. It’s perfectly acceptable to disagree, but please do not put other people down for their opinions, ideas, or suggestions. In most discussions, there is no right or wrong, just different angles, opinions, and interests.
- Be Civil and Respectful: Being civil and respectful goes a long way, especially when involved in a heated debate. It is possible to be civil and respectful, even when you strongly disagree with someone. Please remember that everyone on these forums is a real person, like you, who is also here because they love The Elder Scrolls Online and want to talk about it.
- Enjoy Yourself: Have fun, start interesting discussions, and participate in the community activities and discussions that excite you! You, our fans, set the tone and culture of this community. We’re here to listen, help, and foster that growing culture. We want you do enjoy being here as much as we enjoy having you!
- Ignore Baiting: Sometimes, another community member will attempt to bait you into a response. Usually, this is to elicit some sort of negative or emotional reaction. Please try your best to recognize when this is happening, and ignore it. You may also report it to the ESO Team if the post or thread is violating our Code of Conduct.
- Post in the Appropriate Area: Please do your best to post threads in the correct area of the forums. We will move any threads that are posted in the incorrect area, and leave an expiring redirect attached to them. We understand that everyone wants their thread to be seen and gets replies — posting them in the proper section is the best way to make sure that happens.
- Report Violations: If you notice that another community member is violating our Code of Conduct, please report the post and leave it at that. Do not reply, try to correct their behavior yourself, or tell them that you reported them. We understand that our community members are generally just trying to be helpful when they do these things, but they only serve to exacerbate the issue more often than not.
- Share Constructive Criticism: We want to hear your thoughts and feedback on The Elder Scrolls Online, negative and positive alike. Please consider how you are posting criticism. If you want to share suggestions or constructive criticism about The Elder Scrolls Online, please tell us about it. It is possible to be negative, respectful, and constructive at the same time. When submitting feedback, consider whether or not what you’re posting will be something the Dev Team can use to turn into real change — constructive negative feedback can be a powerful tool to help us improve the game. Remember, we really do want your feedback!
- Use the Search Function: Please help us keep discussions as consolidated as possible by using the search function before you create a thread. This will help you to identify if there is already an ongoing discussion about the topic you’re interested in talking about.
- Welcome New Community Members: Please remember that we were all new in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community at one time. Help us foster a welcoming and safe community by being helpful, kind, and considerate to those who are new to our community.
- When in Doubt, Ask: If you’re unsure whether or not something is acceptable post or thread material for the official The Elder Scrolls Online community, please feel free to ask a moderator or member of the ESO Team. Simply send us a message — we’re here to help!
Eso Forum Community Rules. (Adhere to it at all times.)Below is a brief explanation of the community rules and expectations for specific topics and situations. If you have any questions about the Community Code of Conduct, please email The Elder Scrolls Online Team at [email protected]
Abusive Language and Disruptive Behavior: Zenimax do not tolerate abusive language or disruptive behavior on our forums. This goes for abusive and disruptive comments and behavior that are directed at a ZeniMax Online employee and ESO community members alike. Please remember to be respectful and constructive at all times on the forums, and help Zenimax maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all.- Advertising: We do not allow advertising on our forums. This includes, but is not limited to advertisements and promotions for the following:
- Outside businesses and services.
- Other games.
- Any venture that results in monetary profit.
- Bashing and Slanderous Comments: We do not permit the bashing of individuals (including ZeniMax employees), groups, or other companies on our forums. We believe that doing so is neither constructive nor in spirit of our game and community.
- Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation: We do not tolerate the deliberate and malicious spreading of false info or conspiracy theories about ZeniMax Online Studios, its game(s), or its employees. This does not include honest mistakes; rather, this rule pertains to those who go out of their way to spread harmful or malicious rumors about ZeniMax Online Studios and its employees, or The Elder Scrolls Online.
- Copyright Infringement: Names and Material: We do not allow copyright-protected names on our forums. Copyright-protected names are typically from well-known original characters in books, games, and movies. We also do not permit discussion about the illegal distribution or use of copyrighted material, such as private game servers or pirated movies, music, and games.
- Cursing and Profanity: Purposefully circumventing our forum profanity filter or otherwise cursing or using profanity is not permitted on our forums. Our forums have a profanity filter in place for the purpose of keeping profanity off our forums — please help us keep the ESO community constructive and profanity-free by respecting that filter.
- Demands and Threats: We encourage you to share feedback, suggestion, and requests with us, but we expect all of our community members to refrain from resorting to demands or threats. We believe that demands and threats are not constructive. Threats of real-life violence, in particular, are something we take very seriously and do not tolerate in the ESO community.
- Deliberately Disobeying a ZeniMax Online Employee: Deliberately disobeying a request or action by a member of the ZeniMax Online Studios/ESO Team is not permitted at any time. As an example, if we close a thread you created and leave an explanation stating why it was closed, you may not re-create the thread.
- Discussing Disciplinary Actions: If you ever have questions or concerns about a disciplinary action or decision we have made on the ESO forums, or wish to appeal a forum warning or infraction you’ve received, we ask that you please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to do so (please specify that you are contacting about a forum-related inquiry or appeal). We are happy to discuss and review specific moderation-related actions with you, but we do not allow discussion of any moderation actions or decisions on our forums. If you have questions or concerns about an in-game disciplinary action, please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to ask about a suspension or ban, and any other support-related feedback. We cannot assist with in-game violations on the forums.
- Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.
- Goodbye/Quitting Threads: We understand that sometimes people will leave the ESO community, and want to post a “goodbye” or “quitting” thread. Generally, we have found that “goodbye” and “quitting” threads have a tendency to go downhill fast. It is our policy to read the feedback in “goodbye” and “quitting” threads and close them, regardless of whether they are constructive or not.
- Hate Speech: We take the use of hate speech very seriously in the official ESO community, and have a zero tolerance policy. Our definition of hate speech is prejudice or hateful comments, slurs, or statements that promote violence or intolerance toward others because of the following:
- Race.
- Creed.
- Color.
- National Origin.
- Gender.
- Age.
- Disability.
- Sexual Orientation.
- Lifestyle.
- Any other personally identifying factors.
- Impersonation: We do not tolerate impersonation of any kind in the official ESO community, and take impersonation attempts very seriously when they do occur. Impersonation includes using a display name, photos, posts, or any other material with the intent to fool people into believing you are a ZeniMax Online Studios employee, another community member, a celebrity, or anyone else you are not.
- Inappropriate Content and Language: Certain topics and subjects are deemed inappropriate and not permitted on the official ESO forums. Things that we consider inappropriate are usually illegal, extremely volatile or violent, obscene, vulgar, or simply inappropriate for an official game forum such as ours. Inappropriate content on the ESO forums includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Extreme violence
- Illegal substances and activities
- Pirated copyright-protected material
- Pornography and other sexually explicit topics
- Real-world religion and politics
- Tasteless, vulgar, or obscene material
- Malicious Links: We do not tolerate the posting of malicious links on our forums, for any reason. This includes links to pornographic material, key-loggers, and browser hijackers, but also includes links to private game server sites, phishing scams, and sites that sell in-game currencies and power-leveling services.
We greatly appreciate when our community members wish to report a harmful or misleading ESO-related site to us, but please do not do so on the official ESO forums. If you discover a site you want to report to us, please report them at https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/. - Names in Thread Titles: Please refrain from placing the names of ZeniMax Online Studios employees or ESO community members in your thread titles. Directing a thread at a specific individual, or otherwise using a thread to call someone out, is not considered constructive. If you need to get a hold of a specific community member, please send them a private message.
- Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.
- Personal Information: For the sake of your own identity protection and personal privacy, we ask that you please do not share any personal information in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. This also goes for sharing another community member’s personal information — doing so is not only considered malicious behavior, but it is a violation of our Terms of Service and something we take very seriously.
- Petitions and Protests: We do not allow petitions or protests on our forums. Due to the fact that both promote the use of demands and replies that consist of “/signed” or little else, we feel that neither encourage nor allow for meaningful and constructive discussion. Instead of using a petition or protest, we recommend presenting your thoughts as a request or suggestion so everyone in the community can discuss it.
- Role-Play/Fan Fiction God Modding: We support the fan fiction and role-playing communities on the ESO forum, and ask that you please respect your fellow writers and role-players by not “god modding.” God modding is the act of forcing another community member’s character into a situation they have not agreed to. If you wish to involve another person's character in a story or role-play scenario, please respect that individual’s wishes and get their permission first. Failure to do so is considered “god modding,” and is not allowed on the ESO forums.
- Rude and Insulting Comments/Commentary: We understand that sometimes tempers rise, but it is never acceptable to resort to rude comments and insults. This goes for rude comments and insults directed at other community members, and ZeniMax Online Studios employees alike.
- Selling, Trading, and Sharing Game Accounts: The act of selling, trading, or sharing your ESO account is a violation of our Terms of Service. As such, we also do not allow discussion about selling, trading, or sharing game accounts on our forums.
- Spamming: Please do not post spam on the official The Elder Scrolls Online forums. Below are a few examples of what we define as spamming:
- Posting the same message more than once.
- Posting messages that are nonsensical or have no real content.
- Posting messages or images large enough to disrupt the normal flow of conversation.
- Reposting material that has been removed by a member of the ESO Team.
- Thread Bumping: Please refrain from replying to discussion threads for the sole purpose of “bumping” them. This is considered to be a form of spam because it does not add to the discussion in a constructive or meaningful way. We understand that everyone would like to keep their discussion active and visible, but we encourage you to strive for meaningful and constructive posts instead of posts that consist of nothing more than “Bump!”
- Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

✭Nope, they are long forgottenMy first character was actually an Altmer nightblade (meant to be an ancestor of the Skyrim character I was running at the time). I deleted her shortly after launch because I filled the character slots with names I liked more. After buying Imperial Edition, I played an Imperial Templar to lvl 36, and he still sits at that level (the combo was good at the time).
My first real main (first to Veteran Rank), however, was a Dunmer DK (Valkyn Skoria+Dunmer+magknight equalled op). I didn't really like the close-range DK playstyle, so I decided to give the finger to the meta and main a Dunmer magblade. I absolutely loved it, but I realized that my DPS was lacking, and then ZOS began to nerf magblades over and over again. My class was broken, so I rolled a Dunmer magsorc which I still main. My DK is now my crafter and my magblade is... well, still useless (granted his build hasn't been touched since Dark Brotherhood). He looks a bit edgy though, so that's something.Edited by MythicEmperor on December 8, 2017 3:01AMWith cold regards,

jssriot✭✭✭✭✭Yes, I can't forget my first loveI thankfully did not roll a mag sorc for my first toon. That was my second and she got deleted very quickly. No, my first was my khajiit stamblade and even though i made every mistake one could make with a nightblade, and go so frustrated so many times that I gave up on her once or twice, I never could quit and her and now she's my main pve toon, main dps, main crafter, main achieve toon, main main.CP900+, PC-NA.
When I was harassed by a sexist, racist troll in-game, ZOS did nothing to the player and only told me to add that person to my ignore list. When I called ZOS a mean name that called their ethics into question on the forum, they muted me and threatened to ban me. -
