    Depends.
    But I can safely say that I am not a ganker. I use non - meta hybrid build of my own.

    I've switched from bow ganker, to melee ganker, to rollerblade brawler who only occasionally use cloak (PVP). I wear Senche/Eternal Hunt and Balorgh now. I find this style to be the most fun, it feels a bit more upfront and honorable too. I've grown to dislike the "ganker" playstyle quite a bit. I have all respect for those who enjoy it, but I don't feel like it's right for me anymore.

    However I want. I'm a casual player, I'm not into this min maxing stuff. I do Battlegrounds, sometimes dungeons (recently with the help of forum users even vet ones, thanks guys https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/466420/im-kinda-afraid-of-vet-dungeons/p1), quests and rp with friends. The nerfs don't bother me, I'm not that invested in number crunching as I already have a job and I don't need my fun time to be one. And I'm doing fine for most part, I'm not the best in dungeons but I don't get carried, I'm not top dog in Battlegrounds but I'm not incompetent or feeding either. Games are supposed to be fun, no point in getting worked up about something you do for entertainment. At least that's my take on it.

    Don't pvp, no trials/dungeons, just solo questing. Doesn't matter he's badly gear with just blue overland sets, he's my main character made during beta.

    I tried to like them, but it's hard to have fun with a class that gets kicked to the curb and *** on with each patch. I'm no NB main, but damn do I feel for those that are.

    You left out 'newbishly' as an option.
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.
