How to make the battlesystem more fun?

✭✭✭✭✭
I always play assassin/thief/rogue classes in MMOs because it's the most fun to me, specially being in a faster, more athletic and mobile fighter, mixed with stealth.
But in this game, probably by following the meta, all I do is to stay in place pressing buttons and at most evading red zones, it doesn't feel very dunamic at all to me.
I'm talking strictly about PVE questing and soloing btw. I come from GW2 where I think the battlesystem is either more responsive, or skills are flashier, or more active, but I think it has the "umph!" that I see lacking in here.
Now there's also maybe ways to make it more fun to me, maybe there's a lot of things I don't know about. for example weaving and animation cancel, could both potentially make the combat fast paced, but I don't really know much about it, or to choose skills that while not in the meta could make it more fun to me too.
So, what do you think makes the combat fun TO YOU, and what would you advice me to change my view on it?

✭I think it's more fun than the singleplayer elder scrolls games, but it really depends on one's playstyle. In relation to PvE I play a magicka sorcerer. I love making the ground a danger zone for my enemies and subsequently streaking through them so they can't move out of my AOE attacks. I love being able to heal from doing crit damage and my ability to get stamina back from dark deal (this allows me to freely bash, run [especially after using boundless], block, and dodge without too much worry of running on empty). I love being able to shield stack in order to mitigate continuos damage. When dealing with weak overland enemies I love applying mage wrath, stunning them with destructive clench, and then heavy attacking them till they pop.
I've played around with the other classes, but they just don't have that spark that makes me love being a sorcerer. I always tell my friends to play around with each class before settling on one that they truly want to build up cause the slight differences between them can actually mean all the difference in the world.(AD) Artim X/Xirtām/Måtrix |PC/NA| Casual staff wielding vampire sorcerer/templar/arcanistElectric-Stunhttps://media.giphy.com/media/Av0zcKH3i2BkaY1GXW/giphy.gif/https://c.tenor.com/jQHdFftrgwMAAAAC/tenor.gifElectric-Pets- Roleplay Damage Dealing Build.

https://media.giphy.com/media/sdEkeWpiaGz0A/giphy.gifMundus Stones- High elf, since you will not have issues with sustain, but other mag based races are also fine so this is more of a personal choice.
https://media.giphy.com/media/cT3wMhLGQWdKU/giphy.gifCurrent Champion Points- PvP: The Steed for speed. Gotta go fast!
- PvE Healing/Damage: The Thief for decent crit rate.
- PvE Tanking: The Lady to get close to resistance cap.
https://media.giphy.com/media/l4FGDAx6u3hthMhgI/giphy.gifFavorite Foods and Potions- DPS: Shadowstrike/ Master Gatherer, Meticulous Disassembly/Plentiful Harvest, Steed's Blessing, Sustaining Shadows, Exploiter, Weapons Expert, Fighting Finesse, Master-at-Arms, Celerity, Rejuvenation, Fortified, Boundless Vitality.
- Healer Sorc: Shadowstrike/ Master Gatherer, Meticulous Disassembly/Plentiful Harvest, Steed's Blessing, Sustaining Shadows, Enlivening Overflow, Hope Infusion, Weapon's Expert, Arcane Supremacy, Celerity, Rejuvenation, Fortified, Boundless Vitality.

- PvP Sorc: Shadowstrike/ Master Gatherer, Meticulous Disassembly/Plentiful Harvest, Steed's Blessing, Sustaining Shadows, Enlivening Overflow, Weapon's Expert, Occult Overload, Arcane Supremacy, Bastion, Rejuvenation, Fortified, Boundless Vitality.

https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif- Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
- Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

✭✭✭This is why I don't care for PvE. It's all about getting the right gear, the proper rotation, and then getting the mechanics down. Then you rinse and repeat.
PvP has more spontaneity to it and the combat ends up more fast paced and enjoyable.
But regardless of preference, this game has some of the best effects for combat.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Try PVP. Also try this change in user_setting if you are on PC:
SET GPUSmoothingFrames "2"
(default is 10), this change increase responsiveness
PVE combat as dps is rather boring and tedious, yes, you are mostly fighting with dummy for increased numbers and visit trials just to farm gear. Still mechanics can be fun, sometimes. PVE tanking in higher vet content is great fun though, you may die any second from single error and in many cases this will lead to a group wipe, depending on what stage of mechanics boss is.0 -
craybest✭✭✭✭✭Ah sorry but I really don't like pvp. I like to travel around tamriel doing quests and watching the scenery0
