Easiest class to play?

danielclarkb16_ESO

Hi guys,

Been playing ESO on and off for a while now and I main a 500CP MagBlade. I struggle to get over about 10k consistent damage due to the rotation being quite complicated. What class has the easiest rotation this patch? I know it's always traditionally been a pet Sorc, is that still the case?

What’s the goal? PvE?

Pet sorc. You dont have to remember to do things, your pets do the things for you

Vicarra

I'd say magicka templar right now, though that could change next patch. Mine hits 40k single target even with a sloppy rotation that I can't be bothered to perfect.

In general, templar is probably the easiest to play since so many skills have heals attached and you never run out of resources. Stamsorc is also quite easy.

Yeah, PvE. Probably the hardest content I'd run is Vet dungeons. Possibly could run a few trials with my guild.

Dominion_Nightblade

Templar, I'm too young to die.
Dragon knight, Hey not too rough.
Sorcerer, Hurt me plenty.
Necromancer, Ultra violence.
Nightblade, Nightmare.

I think there are a lot of variables to be able to say for sure.

But, for pure simplicity of rotation/skill use, it is probably still a pet sorc, and/or a shock staff heavy attack build.

Easiest rotation - 1 bar pet sorc, it deals and heals. You might not get super damage, but it’s easy and fun to play at all levels

Easiest damage rotation - mag Templar, so outrageously broken atm it’s a total joy to play. Mine is based on Xynode’s Off Balance build. Obviously it’s not just about the class, you need the gear and the skills too. So ideally a CP 160+ character

Most fun to play - the one you like best atm. DPS is not the objective, having fun is. I have found that some fights/dungeons/trials that take longer, where you actually have to deal with mechanics rather than simply blindly DPSing through them, are way more exciting and rewarding.

magicka templar is the easiest class to play. You are tanky and do more damage than a glass cannon nightblade because **** balance.

max_only

Magicka Templar and Sorc are the easiest classes to play. And you can always become a healer if it still doesn’t work out.

Frostystuff

Heavy attack sorc.
Surg, blockade (if vma staff) entropy (won't be needed next patch) hold left click

Aurie

Sssh or there'll be several more simultaneous threads demanding Magplar nerfs

IndianaJames7

Petsorc is by far the easiest class I have played

dem0n1k

Pet Sorc. You are a tank, healer & 3xDPS all in one.

Drdeath20

Easy/hard are subjective terms.

The learning curve in this game is very brief. Most players are capable of learning any class in a short period of time and effort invested.

Magsorc was harder for me to learn than Magplar. I ran no pets though.

colossalvoids

Magplar and both sorcs, nothing have changed.

I guess nobody acknowledges Wardens

PetSorc. My "main" is a magBlade and I made PetSorc just for farming because Nighblade is so damn gimmicky class.

I dont have a warden. Plus there are only five difficulties of doom, so one of the classes would have been left out regardless.

mocap

magplar or petsorc. Flip a coin.

Raideen

Magicka Fire DK.
Dunmer (if you go vampire) High Elf if you do not.
Run 5 burning spellweave, 5 Silks of the Sun, Grothdar Helm and Shoulders and use fire abilities with 2 fire staves and destro staff aoe skill.

You will literally melt entire groups and the effects are super cool.
Vampire will help with sustain, but makes you a bit weak against fire. I'd probably not go vamp.

Xarc

You should have done a poll

I think magsorc with pets is easy because great damages, shields, heal with pets, ans distance + execute ... everything combined to the same class... And in pvp you can teleport 3-4 times to leave a fight if you're in danger... He's hard to focus because of pets which can take the aggro in pve...

Cirantille

Templar

Dying is an achievement for a templar, I think

Self-heals are great

Coatmagic

Pet class sorc or warden either will give you more time to react to what's going on around you.

I would say magplar because it has way more effectiveness than a pet sorc in all content not just pve and takes 0 effort to play.

I am really tired of busting my ass for subpar results on my stamblade so I boosted a magplar during event and yeah.. I don't even know what to say. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun, but its *** bonkers.

Magplar will be nerfed (or not because why bother amirite zos lol) so petsorc is probably your safest bet in terms of long term ease of play that most likely won't be touched.
