    Having 9/10 points in crafting skills by Vet ranks isn't a dedicated crafter. I'm not even a crafter and I probably have 55 or so points in Clothing, Provisioning and Woodworking.

    I have to agree. Since I decided I'd lead a end game guild in this game I decided I'd pick as many professions as I could to help out my guildies. I am maxed at clothing, blacksmithing, woodworking and now enchanting. It was a pain in the but, but hey... By vr lvls you should be able to do... I actually have points I havent used >.>

    I am a ranger-type Nighblade. I got to VR and found that a lot of bosses were just impossible. Literally progression blocking - like mages that could heal themselves faster than I shot them, and didn't care what I threw at them. I had to respec for heavy armour and dual wield - and also threw in some shieldy stuff cos I had lots of skyshard points.. I have zero now :P

    Every style change was pretty rough - Lots of dying while you learn to not suck at the new skills, and find out what works - and even now there are some quests I still cant do because the bosses in them are too hard (VR10 Sorcerer Arena for example) and not worth figuring out the strategy for.
    Maybe I will come back to them when I get my SS skills maxed - I think melee is the clue...

    Anyway - the point is that for the endgame VR stuff sometiimes it takes a DRASTIC rethink, and finding a new style of play. The Devs hint as much in the Craglorn notes - "Be prepared to respec".

    In an ideal world - I would be an archer all the time. I love the gameplay and I love the skills, but frankly in some situations an archer isn't whats needed, and while I like archer - I love that I need to adapt to the world to survive. It keeps it interesting.

    For all the Nightblades out there struggling… I've started using a combo that is basically easy mode for any melee single mob fight, including bosses. Obviously this isn't super helpful against casters or groups, but I've put down some pretty big melee bosses and finished at full health with this approach.

    It's pretty simple: sparks and strife. I have sparks (from DW tree) morphed to heated blades, and strife (siphoning) morphed to swallow soul, but the combo should work just as well with the un-morphed abilities. Just hit the mob with sparks and spam strife for a few seconds, then repeat before sparks (4 seconds) expires.

    It may take time, but this will burn down pretty much any melee mob, including bosses (I have yet to run into a boss who is immune to the sparks CC effect). With enough twitch dexterity you this combo can be pretty effective against multiple enemies too, maybe throw in an aspect of terror occasionally.

    Attention Zenimax: Stamina builds don't hold up to magicka builds, and this is causing most of your class imbalance. It makes melee weapons and bows weaker than staves and class abilities. It makes medium and heavy armor less desirable than light armor. Fix this imbalance, and you'll address most of your balance issues.

    That could be the sad future leaving only dedicated MMO gamers into game until they get bored and change. I think this game was made by following the growing popularity of the TES and so also tries to target the masses which is the casual gamers. People have been dreaming online TES since Morrowind or longer.

    If you force casual gamer to select specific class and build to success, they are the first one to leave and also taking with them the majority of the revenue. So near future will show (6-12kk max) what will happen to this game.

    Remember, this game was in development for years. It didn't go into production because of TES's rising popularity. WoW got big, and everyone rushed out their own MMO in response, with the idea that every MMO would bring in those kinds of numbers. TESO went into production as the first of those were nearing release.

    And... that's why people keep claiming the harvester fights are easy for their DW Nightblade.
