Relaxing and Easiest Class to master for PvE Contents ?

drakeos99

So right now trying to find out what to take over 50+ yet want to have fun and be relaxed (not stressed out during boss fights and such and also easier on my hands due to carpal tunnel syndrome in my hand and wrist (too many BDO/BNS games) and easy to learn from level 1-50+

A pet sorcerer would be a good option. Easy to play with a simple heavy attack rotation.

ArchMikem

Magic Sorcerer.

Elemental Blockade + Liquid Lightning + Heavy Attack. Hardened Ward when necessary and recast the two AoEs when needed. For basic PvE fights that's all you need is the two AoEs and a Heavy Attack. When you feel comfortable you can throw in a Haunting Curse as well.

Revokus

Stamina warden has a fun and pretty easy rotation and does good dps for pve. You can check Alcast guardian build for help. https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-warden-build-pve/

russelmmendoza

This. However, pretty sure there are some trial fights that still have an issue with pets. Do not see many running pets so not sure.

Stamina Warden is indeed quite fun to play.
Even with the most pared down and basic rotation, it does decent DPS, good sustain, and is generally quite fun to play.
Caltrops > volley > shalks > spam bird. Keep netch and lotus going and use your bear ultimate whenever it's up.
You'll be able to solo most anything with it and you get a fuzzy magic bear instead of purple shrieking daedric monstrosities to help you out.

MLGProPlayer

Pet sorc = unlimited sustain (sustaining is the hardest part about this game, and petsorcs can completely ignore it) + decent damage and easy rotation

Templar = huge damage and self heals + super easy rotation

Sylvermynx

You're going to get a lot of opinions without much info to go along.

You get 8 character slots. Make characters for each class/race you want to play. Play a while to see how things work. Delete the ones that don't work for you (you get 3 deletes to begin with, then they are on a timer - a "bot stopper" sort of thing); rinse and repeat.

I give no advice on race/class etc. as I'm fairly new to the game. But making characters until I got it mostly sorted is what helped me.

Breton templar healer is the easiest to play.

Overland content isnt really that hard once you get the hang of a class. You can get away with a simple rotation or even button spam for all but vet content and trials once you get use to a class and how the general mechanics of the game work.

Templars are pretty easy to play. They are the best healers in the game and a heal templar would probably be the easiest thing for you to do in group content. You would want a combination of resto staff abilities and templar abilities between your bars But you could get away with a single bar and do ok both in overland content and healing most normal dungeons as long as you keep your gear up to level.

The best ability for solo on a magicka based templar is puncturing sweep which is a morph from puncturing strikes. When morphed, it heals you for a percent of damage done . I use this one ability to tank up 12 plus normal enemies at a time. A second spell that is useful for solo templar and very useful for your group as a healer is spear shards and its morphs. The synergy restores allies stamina or magicka while also doing damage.

You cant really go wrong with a templar. They actually have a lot of good combinations that make them great for solo and group work as tank, heal, and DPS depending on how you want to play them and what kind of content(s) you are looking to do.

Block casting sweeps = killing everything in front of you while healing yourself. You can spam magic jabs all day long in overland content. So I’d vote for Templar. Being a healer in dungeons if you ever want to try them is also a better choice than dps if you don’t want to wait a long time but don’t want all the responsibility of a tank.

Second vote is for pet Sorc. They’ve long time been the best class for newbs and the easiest class for completion of solo content, especially if one day you want to outfit your alts with Maelstrom gear (Vet Maelstrom is the “hardest” solo content out right now and it’s been explained/beaten to death).

Third vote is warden. Only because they are a pet class technically and if you like pvp they are useful. They are not op in pvp like some people will tell you. In the hands of a new player a warden is useful enough so you don’t feel like dead weight.

Draxys

If your carpal tunnel lets you light attack spam, werewolf- any class really. Brain dead easy in a lot of content, and carries you through tough stuff like vma

zyk

As others have suggested, Magicka Templar. Puncturing sweep will carry you through pretty much everything overland and solo normal non-dlc dungeons.

OmniDo

Magicka Nightblade.
Snare, drain, teleport, stun, escape, and outright skip anything you don't want to fight.

MartiniDaniels

PVE is different. If you mean dungeons that those aoe builds mentioned above are way to go.
If you mean overland PVP PVE i'll go for a min-maxed snipe to one-shot majority of mobs. Or dual-wield with boomerang dagger spammable and spin-to-win. I mean those mobs are really pesky, you want to just remove them as fast as possible, and not waiting while they will melt in aoe and put all possible cc on you.

Aznarb

I don't think he can spam with carpal tunnel problem.
So even if templar and warden are pretty easy, they are not that relaxing.
That the two classe I've play the last, easy to solo content, I'm atm doing all overland boss alone with my templar spamming puncturing jab + some buff, but yeah, spaming..

I would go for pet sorc imo, easiest and relaxing, even if you wanna take a little break in fight if you got some pain pets will continue to dps for you.

Fluke.Slywalker

I'd go StamSorc. it' s a walking AoE storm. Easy to play, not too bad damage output for such little effort and a lot of fun.

Gythral

Pet Sorc..

just not Clanfear, Matron

I was going to say (Redguard) StamSorc. For a largely solo overland player the combination of Hurricane, Critical Surge and Shrouded Dagger just melts trash mobs like nothing else. Stam dual wield also has lots of self-healing. Whack a bow on the back bar and you're good to go.

Thrasher91604

What ArchMikem said plus throw in a crit surge for free heals.

FierceSam

The two classes I found easiest were Warden and Pet Sorc

In the early days you’ve got a nice bullet magnet for overland encounters, stupidly effective healing and decent damage.

As you progress you’ve got a ton of decent options for your play style.

Both can be easily managed for a single bar skillset, which might help with CTS

As Sylvermynx suggested, you have a bunch of character slots so try each out and see which one clicks. By L10 you’ll know if you are enjoying that build.

Have fun.

Kinda disagree on stam warden. Good dps may be relative, but if you want to deliver good dps, you needa cast chalks in between two other abilities. If you want to keep some buffs up, it won't end in an easy bird spam. I'd say you are forced to bar swap if you really want good dps, you are forced to watch out for your debuffs and best cast chalks on cooldown (I mean they deal very high cleave damage anyway and crit for up to 40k) but using them means you need to align correctly to get the hitbox hit the most opponents possible. Further, if oyu ever intend on doing Maelstrom, there is hell of a difference in difficulty between Warden and Sorc. One you can play with one bar. The other ... well, in theory maybe, but chances of success are rather slim.
However for overland content? Of course, Warden will easily work. For real pve content, like when you want to enter vet dungeons or even trials at some point? Warden will be harder to play then sorc.

However, I can really agree on the fun aspect. Warden is a nice class to play.

Coatmagic

++ to either of the pet classes for relaxed play, with Warden being the more languid paced of the two.

petsorc can do vMA with one bar only

Fluke.Slywalker

Top expand on what I posted earlier, you could make now a Dark Elf Stamsorc, Vampire.

The simple sets for this are Hundigs Rage, night mothers gaze (which are both craftable) and the 3 pce agility set (this is available very cheaply via traders or doing random daily Undaunted dungeons on Normal).

As you level, the abilities for Sorc class open up in a nice order, dual wield on front, bow on back. Stam sorc has some very nice skills across DW, Bow and class abilities and makes for leveling and any Normal content rather easy.

Magsorc/PetSorc can get very boring once you have it all leveled up. However, by making a Dark Elf, with the new racial updates, you can easily skill/attribute respec into a MagSorc, make some Julianos, buy willpower instead of agility and not have to spend crown on a race change token since the passives compliment both now.

A lot of the responses seemed to be aimed at DPS output and end game performance, what you have asked for I think is a nice, fun and easy ride to level 50 which a Stamsorc will do for you. Dark Elf will give you the freedom, once you fancy a change -to turn your Stamsorc into a MagSorc without any fuss or ££$$

I've had a bit of a go at all the current classes. Personally I found templar the easiest since you have attacks that can heal you especially if you solo stuff I found it makes it a lot easier. I've been playing mainly playing as my magicka templar and found it a lot easier than I did with other classes.

I do VMA 2 years with sorc stam, so I know my character well, I make a try with a sorc magika no pet, that was so easy....

A lot of people are mentioning puncturing sweeps, but a lot of classes have decent heals. It’s true that self-heals are important for relaxing play. For Stam classes, warden has lotus/shrooms, dk has green dragon blood, nb has siphoning strikes, and sorc has surge. For mag, you have Resto staff plus sorc has matriarch, dk has burning embers, Templar has sweeps, warden lotus/shrooms, nb has strikes....

It’s interesting, it seems like stamplar is the most ignored when it comes to class-based heals. They rely mostly on vigor and the dual wield healing morphs. Seems like the priest should have best heals, but not so in ESO for stamplar.

In order to be able to type there has to be some use of hands. Really you just need to be able to move and push a single button. I never recommend playing a game with CTS because it actually will only make it worse no matter how much you simplify it. But that decision is on them.

Thats because we arent talking about a self healing class. All classes can self heal. Templar has an offensive spell that hits multiple targets and will also heal you which makes it good for someone with limited movement. They can just peck keys. It is relatively easy to tank several mobs at a time with the ability including elite mobs, delve bosses, and public dungeon bosses. Basically all solo content is fairly easy with the ability, making it great for people with limited use of hands, which seems to be a thing in ESO.

When I want to be lazy, I pick my pet sorc. Then my Mageblade.
