Class Advice from current players

basudz_ESO

Hello! I need some advice from from all the veterans that have been playing this game for the past year or two.
I played ESO from initial release for about a year or so, but haven't logged on since. I'm looking to get back into the game and with the way the game is currently I'm looking for some advice on class/build selection based on what I'm looking for. I have a few simple things I'm looking for and hoping you all can help me figure out which to go with.

From a PVE perspective, I will mostly solo. Say 90%. I understand that the way the game is today, completing dungeons/trials is a normal thing now but seems some class builds excel at this far more than others.
From a PVP perspective, I like two types of play styles. In groups I prefer ranged DPS. From a solo / ganking perspective, I love burst dmg and the ability to handle/control multiple opponents.

I don't know if there's a class build that really covers all of this, so my focus would mostly be solo PVE trials, and group PVP DPS. The solo PVP is more of a nice to have if it's a possibility. Any suggestion on class/builds to look into that just covers but excels at these things would be greatly appreciated!

magblade is great for solo pve, and functions as you would like it to in pvp. only issue being its underpowered as hell right now, but the playstyle sounds like what you want. magblades whole thing is being able to control a fight. if you can choose when someone and hit you/cc you/go defensive, then you can win the fight easily. we control the fight with our ranged root (cripple), our unblockable cc (fear), and our hits that can set someones hp low whenever needed (incap and bow). you can swap between ranged or melee whenever you want

I recommend magsorc. For soloing PvE you just need to keep one skill (surge) active and never worry about keeping yourself alive. (on my newest magsorc I unlocked this skill at around lvl 20). Excellent dps in group content as well.
It's also one of the best (if not best) classes for fully ranged dps (with high burst dmg) in pvp groups. Works well for solo pvp as well. But will take practice to 1vX.
