I'm just curious about the state of the game. This is a PvP perspective. I don't care about the balance in PvE since it hasn't been challenging in quite some time.

    Nightblades. Cause I enjoy watching them scurry out from under the woodworks to make their retorts.

    As a Warden, Templar's frustrate me. They fill all 3 roles so well and better than any other class and they are simple to play on top of that. Making them abundant and sought after. But IMO over a nurf, I say it's time they started updating class identity like they promised.

    I think it’ll be minor adjustments instead of sweeping changes.

    They’ll finish changing up DKs and buff NBs in their class audit.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    Condemned and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    This isn't real life can respawn in this game just because someone kills your character. that the class or skill set the other player used should be nerfed to the ground. Just take the death and go about trying to get payback. Having a high death count score does not make you a bad player.

    Have to disagree; Templars - while good at other roles - are clearly best suited as healers. I say this as someone that mained a Templar Tank for most of my play time. The Dragonknight kit is clearly geared more towards tanking. IMO Wardens are good in all roles and they definitely Tank better than the Templars.
    Templar healers are desired for sure because that is what they are Really Good at and designed to be.

    Why does a class NEED to be nerfed? Because you keep getting killed by it?

    well said.
    thats exactly what is happen here forums daily.
    best in slot: is the armor, weapon, clothing look, pet, or no pet, jewelry, race, class, skill choices, amount of DPS, and skin color best fit to you and the way you wish to play and makes you feel good and performs what YOU think it should be.

    worst in slot: what you read in zone chat, and forum comment, and forum thread, and you tube video, and live streamer advice, and class rep advice, and guild chat advice, and whisper told you to wear, and use for skill, and dress like, and use for weapon and armor.

    This is really a case of "if I have to choose". With few exceptions (like magnb) I feel most of the specs are pretty close, but I feel templar sticks out the most. They hit really hard, heal off a lot of damage and can get decent tackiness. These are all the things most players want in pvp. Any adjustments imo would need to be minor.

    I will admit my two clases I play are magdk and a little of magsorc so that bias does spill over a little.

    None of the classes need nerfs. If anything nightblades could use some buffs. #nerfthatguywhojustkilledmeplz

    Templar does well as dps too, only limitation is melee range.

    sure all the classes aim to be able to be good at DPS.

    ESO classes don't operate like WoW - where each class clearly has a designated role.
    In ESO class identity pertains to the fact that each class plays a role differently than the other.

    A Warden Healer and Templar Healer don't play the same
    A DK Tank and Nightblade tank don't play the same
    playing a DPS character with any of the classes is going to be a different experience

    This class design philosophy has become more prominent with the Warden and Necromancer.
    So expect the Base game classes to be geared for mainly one role while future classes will be aimed to be versatile to fill a role depending on how you build them

    Well the Acrobat class is far to strong right now. Outperforming every other class. Meanwhile, i think we need to buff Spellsword. It is safe to say Spellsword has zero abilities.
