Starting ESO again, which spec?

shaunw500 · May 8

Hi,

I haven't touched ESO for at least 5 years or so but want to get back into it, with a fresh new toon this time around.

In Elder scrolls games I like to be stealth/bow/dagger kinda builds. Which would you recommend for this type of play style? Also any tips for basically a new person that would be great!

Stealth/bow/dagger sounds like a Nightblade to me.

Or StamSorc. And in a month or so you can swap in Assassination for Daedric Summoning or Dark Magic.

You'll love Nightblade, then. And when Update 46 launches, you'll have the ability to try out skill lines from other classes on this character, too.

Seconding nightblade. I’d say go stamina to power your weapon skills and then you can use a nightblade ability to generate magicka for your invisibility.

I guess your playstyle is not just about class.
So along with playing Nightblade class I would look to the sets that affect sneaking. "Night Mother's Embrace" and "Night Terror" will help you in any stealth mission for example. You can find more on this wiki page

Being a vampire is also a big advantage for this playstyle.

Also I would check "Thieves Guild" and "Dark Brotherhood" DLC. Both add more fun to the base game, and their quest lines are all about stealth and daggers.

See you in Tamriel!
...umm, no, probably I won't see you, if you're good enough

If you have a nightblade leveled to 50 from when you played before, you may want to go with Warden so you can get major brutality without having to cast the siphon ability. Your choices won't matter anymore with subclassing, is the point. You can use the shadow skill line from NB with another class if you subclass.
