    Melee
    All three

    -Melee when I am tanking but also magic/a lot of my support skills use magic and I back bar a resto quite a bit due to fake healers.

    -Bow when I switch to overland content and actually want to be able to kill stuff quickly.

    -Magic in PVP, fire staff front bar, resto back bar for when I surf Zergs for AP.

    All on the same character I keep my CP set up for PVP and reset my attributes when switching from PVE to PVP or back again.



    Would not say no to a Bazooka though, that should speed up overland quite a bit.

    What's your favorite way to fight enemies and each other in ESO? (2020)

    Prayer.... group prayer is always the most powerful tool for the taking down of stongholds.... then a f/u with the sword of the spirit for close quarters combat

    PS this poll is biased... :)

    I enjoy using one-handed weapons because the quicker attack duration makes combat feel more fluid imho. :-)

    Melee
    Honestly my first thought is why choose? My main character is a hybrid stam/magicka templar who uses a bow, dual wield and magic (templar spells) about equally, depending on the situation.

    But if I had to pick just one I'd probably go for melee because I find it the most fun.

    Bow is my favorite, but since WoodElves have basically been reduced to nothing....I've changed race to Altmer magica Templar. However being a WoodElf and using a Bow has (and always will be) been my favorite!

    This.

    In eso, it’s more satisfying to kill mobs up close imo so I chose melee. But it doesn’t matter, even if you prefer melee you need range skills and AOE so you end up using a bow anyway. On my joke character I use dual wield and two hand for the motif synergy. Fashion Scrolls baby.
