Sorcerer... though I'll cry the day an "elementalist" or something is introduced to the game without class change tokens.

I'm just a sorcerer because I wanted to be a "mage" which the sorcerer kind of isn't yet it's the closest thing. It's more of a daedra worshiping summoner that just happens to know how to zipity zap around. Don't really understand why the mage archetype vanilla class that was painted as the mage at launch can't even throw a fireball, or unlock a chest with a spell. Hell I can't even use any Illusion spells or summon a Fire Atronach. And I think we can all agree that the purple bird is very annoying! Also, why am I summoning a scamp again?

A bit annoyed that literally every class uses magic, didn't know it was possible to take the magic out of... magic.
Everyone's at least a pseudo-mage casually flinging spells around like nothing, but then you do a quest or see that huge staff in Craglorn and then all of a sudden magic is this special thing and every Npc is like "Ohhhh, magic!"
The casual use of portals is also slightly annoying, not because of a mere NPC being able to make one, but because we as players can't when we're understandably a lot stronger.

I agree with much of what you say! I see my character not as a daedra worshipper, per se.- more a dabbler. And as Bretons had bonuses to conjuration magic in the previous games, its reasonably fitting. To get to the punch, I still love my Twilight, though I think it would be amazing if one day they allowed them to walk along the ground like they did in Morrowind, taking only to wing in fighting or when sprinting.

I, too, REALLY wish I wasn't locked into the whole shock theme, and I don't even know why we needed "themes" in the first place- we're not Power Rangers! A big part of my wish for Spellcrafting was that it seemed to largely address this sort of thing- allowing us to make and use skills like in the older games. Like my damned FIREBOLT that I still can't cast.

Curious to see if the class distribution will change greatly due to Arcanist (less Sorcs, more Arcs for example).

Sorcerer

Sorc will always be my main, I am currently playing other classes more since sorc is in a rough spot at the moment.

While I've called myself a magblade (PvP) main, I don't really have a main class anymore. PvP includes:

Magblade
Hybrid sorc (stam-leaning)
Stam DK (hybrid-leaning)
Magplar
Occasionally stamplar or magden

All solo / small group / rounded non-speciality builds.

Whereas in PvE:

Magplar DD
DK tank
Sorc hybrid tank / DD / solo build (Brawler-based with 1H+S option)

Warden

Redguard Stamina Warden, Bow/Dual Wield and Werewolf build

Tantala

Warden

Many years ago my main was a nightblade. I was in a guild doing PvP in Cyrodil as well as doing solo PvE overland when the guild was not active. That was years ago.

I left the game and came back, decinding to start from scratch with a new character as I had forgotten too much to carry on where I left off. My old nightblade was semi-retired but is still my primary crafter (all traits catered for) and is now also my antiquties hound. My warden is my prime adventurer but I have a number of lower level alts to sample other classses and races. Except Templar - can't get on with jabbity-jab

Templar

Same Char, class, and race since launch day.

Nightblade

Vampire nightblade Brawler will be, is, and has always been my favorite.

I generally play a blood mage and vamp in anything I can ^^
