Instead I believe we should look at classes in terms of play as you want. Some classes simply are not competitive compared to other classes in some categories of dps, healer or tank. Here is a un bias source of information on each category. Please check it out.

They are just "poor" in comparison to the others for end game content.
Like Stam Sorcs. Sorc got a "poor" rating for Stam DD.
Why? Stam Sorcs can do excellent PVE DPS, easily enough to clear the content.
Well, its because Stam Sorcs bring the least to the trials group compared to other options. Because of their AOE focus, they tend to lag behind the other stam builds in single target damage and they don't have as much group buffs and utility.
Its the same with Sorc and Nightblade tanks. They are viable for the job of trials tank, but if you lined up all 6 classes and evaluated their suitability for the job of "end game PVE tank" those two end up with the least amount of group utility...most of the time. Its not that those classes can't tank, its just that most trials groups aren't going to call on them first.
(Note I'm talking about trials. Below that level, the meta simply doesn't matter as a competent player on any class/role is going to be viable. In PVP, again, the skill of the player is going to do a lot more than the build - I say, having been the noob player with a meta build who got crushed. PVP tiers come in more when talking about experienced players.)
And that's really what most lists like these amount to: who gets picked first for the gym class dodgeball teams trials.
Class Roles and Race Suggestions should be removed due to the nature of the skills/builds in this game. Every class can play every role with every race well if not better than some of the suggestions here
Loool unbiased but doesnt play other classes ..
It's ok to disagree with his list but he plays all classes and has more insight into how these classes play than you do I guarantee that much.
I'm going to ask you again have you created a dk and played it in cyrodiil yet? No you say? /Thread

I also have a issue with the roles in eso. Before dlc classes my opinion was some classes are just better as a tank, dps or heal. After dlc classes, my opinion changed. It a unfair advantage to have a class that excels at every role vs one that doesn't. All classes should be competitive at the idea of play as you want. No class should be poor in any area. All classes should be good in any area. Good in terms of link.

You can attack me and start the take attention off of topic technic or technic to to get this post close but I simply respectfully disagree. Yes I have many hour log in every class. But like any player I have a main. A class that I like the most. Its sorcerer. I also like lighting attacks visual. I always have played sorcerer in any mmo.
All the way back to golden axe.

Pretty much this and OP is one of the most biased in the forums as they constantly push what their opinion is and constantly claims they are correct even when they ignore actual information that suggests otherwise. LOL.

Smh I gave the most unbias option. To focus on all class preforming at the level of dlc classes. In term of aoe damage dps, healing and tank. That un bias and is not even based on my opinion. It's TRUE sorcerer are last pick for tank role and stam dps. It's TRUE nightblade are second to last pick for tank role. All other classes are in a great place. Except original dps classes the identity is lost in my opinion. If sorcerer and nightblade are not the top dps then who are they? Sorcerer dont even feel like the best pet option anymore or aoe. Overload feel super weak do to range nerf. The list goes on.

Now we are getting somewhere. This is the true issue at hand. The dlc classes are being pick for all roles and are super popular. This threatens the game to become boring.

I'm not sure how you got "Boo, DLC classes are too good" out of what I wrote when I was very specifically saying the "poor" choice classes are only poor in comparison to the others under very specific circumstances.
Seriously, you wanna complain about "DLC classes are popular and so ESO is boring"?
Um, how about the years when if you wanted to tank end game content, you rolled a DK? The years when if you wanted to heal end game content, you rolled a Templar?
There will always, always be a meta. But having options for various roles doesn't make ESO boring.

What this all boils down to: the OP will not be happy until their precious Sorc stands atop the DPS tier list forever and ever, amen.
If their Sorc is not at the top of the DPS tier list, then Sorc has no identity whatsoever. Woe and calamities be upon us.
Also, ESO is boring when the DLC classes are at the top of the DPS tier list, but, oh happy day, this will magically not be a problem for anyone once Sorcs take their rightful place at the top of the DPS tier lists forever and ever, amen.

It depends on content. Recent I think <4min gryphonheart used a Sorc tank's valuable class buff. I think half of a steamer's HM DLC dungeon duo runs were done with a Sorc tank.
We get into meta ruts in end-game sometimes building around the new and old favorites. The commonly used meta is not always the best. EG suppose next patch the absolute optimal group for all trials would call for a templar tank. That may not actually be used as they're aren't many around and it could change by the next patch before many get around to making one.
And recall support PvE roles have often more to do with what DD classes you don't use to fill the gaps not the capability of that class for the role generally.
