Which should I go with for my new character?

XarethiuS

I'm going for full DPS build little health wouldn't hurt but it's not necessary I like melee combat, magic feels so boring and for the weak, however, I don't enjoy the playstyle of nightblades and I have no problem of being a vampire, so which one?
PS: I know there will be comments saying go for your style blah bla...been there, done that, I want to be powerful in PvP and PvE as I can

Choices:

• Stam DK (This was my first choice all along but people say it got nerfed and sucks at the moment)
• Mag DK
• Stam Sorc
• Stam Plar
• Stam Den

They've got strengths and weaknesses. PVE DPS is easy as long as you can hit the numbers your group wants, but you should think about what role you want in PVP. Group combat, small group, 1v1 or 1vX?

My own impressions of the classes I play:

MagDK is a CC monster in PVP, but struggles as a top PVE DPS because ZOS balances MagDK for tanking.

Stam Sorc is great AOE DPS in PVE but not the best single target. In PVP, I find it works well in a small, coordinated group, but others may have different experiences.

Stam Warden has great burst damage combos for PVP. I'm not sure how desirable they are for top tier PVE content, though.

I rolled a stam DK earlier this year for the first time and it was so much fun. It was fun to play and strong in PvP. I never duel but at level 20 odd I was killing people a lot higher than me. I started playing battlegrounds with the DK and he was good against single targets and killing groups. DK’s have hard hitting moves and also some good defenses with spike armour, wings and passives and it’s compatible with most races (imperial is the race I used)

Yes, I've forgotten to mention I'm going for solo I don't have friends, fortunately.

Mag DK Dunmer

I don’t know why, but many people I know Love their MagDK emphatically. I diddnt much care for the class, but if your looking for something that really connects with you, there’s that.

StamDK is crazy strong. It quite possibly needed a nerf.

I’ve never really mastered StamSorc, regardless the class is stupid easy to play and do well.

Stamplar is loads of fun. When they work right. It’s the most buggy class I’ve played.

I like wardens. I like orcs. So my vote goes for StamDen.

I like stam sorc for speed and aoe dmg. Class theme is what gets me. Will always be my favourite. Great for all pve solo content due to crit surge and aoe dmg, but missing a ton of buffs and debuffs, relying on groups to push itself to its max potential.

Stam dk and mag dk are pretty cool with the change to a small passive that makes all melee ranged abilities that are 5m in to 7m. While small to some, I found it made the classes very fun to play and if your looking for a melee build, it's great to have that extra 2m.

Sta dk sustain is bonkers with the change to -25% cost on posion abilities. There is enough in the game to make an impact, use venomous claw as a crazy cheap class spammable.

Mag dk is very good in pvp, hold your ground, cc the crap out of people, fire dmg rocks for all the vampires you'd like to murder. Solid choice. Feels like a stamina melee class, but you get the capability of ranged skills too.

Stamden has great burst and sustain. Great class skills with tons of access to debuffs and buffs. Passive healing just from using species skill line. This is a great class for solo AND group play.

Sounds like a Stam DK to me. I main one. Unaware of any nerfs you speak of. Doesn't hit like a top-end stamblade, but is way tankier in exchange.

Seriously...I finished 3 games in a week, how do you expect me to wait that long?

Just turned my Templar tank into a stamplar and I’m really liking it! I’m still trying to figure out my sustain, but he hits just as hard as my stamblade and magsorc.
