✭If I could put the Daedric Summoning line from Sorcerer with the Shadow and Assassination lines from Nightblade, I would have the perfect class

TemplarTemplar, med armor (hoping heavy will be viable for dps too one day) and a 2h sword.
I don't care if it sucks compared to light casters, when class/weapon/balancing is further down the track I'll be right

Still , i wont be rerolling , too much work.
To be the coolest are the DK , would pick 2h/bow , even if yes , i understand it is not that good right now.
What don't you like about the Templar?
Templar skills are usually turned to the outside , supporting others.
The DK have similar skills , turned to itself and keep it alive.
To make a quick comparison of the very idea of the classes to me.
Both the DK and the Templar got an insta strong heal , the DK will use its green dragon blood and it will only hit itself , everytime , the templar can use it , but chances are it will hit another player and the templar will die (this one is beyond annoying sometimes :P.)
Both the DK and the Templar have a "shutdown" skill that seeks to close the magicka single target dmg , the templars is used on one enemy , closing it , if there are multiple hostiles , the templar is in trouble , but because it could close this enemy from atking other too , it balances out with the DKs , which will make all hits on him return. There is also the issue that the templars skill can be stopped if the enemy is too strong for it or in PvP you can break it also.
Anyway , i play mostly alone , i feel that the DK would be more around my alley.
Ok, so it's not so much that you have an issue with the templar class abilities, it's just that DK fits your playstyle better.
I think it's intended that way, though - dragonknights are self-oriented, they're tanks and damage dealers, they dont really do much to benefit the rest of a team outside of soaking up damage and some minor buffs. Templars, on the other hand, are built around the concept of group support through heals buffs, and other utility effects. That's one of the things I love about my templar though, I like playing a supporting character.
I agree with you , the idea of the classes are like that. I went with the templar for the spear skill tree , quite nice heh , still now i regret it , think i would have enjoyed playing the DK more.
Still , i dont have the patience to reroll a DK and toss all i did on these months out of the window.
Usually in MMOs i always play tank , so , another thing that i better fit with the DK than with the templar. I can even dps , but there is no way in hell im playing the healer heh."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

UnholyPerfection✭✭✭TemplarNice spread. If the question was what is your most effective/sort after class the results would be very different lol.0 -
Galen✭✭✭SorcererDual-wielding Sorcerer.
Sorcerer is my favorite class mainly for one thing: Daedric Summoning. I have always loved conjuration in Elder Scrolls games so it was only natural for me to choose Sorc.
All classes are fun for me to play, but Sorc does happen to work best with my playstyle and has my favorite abilities.

Fi'yra✭✭✭DragonknightAlways prefered playing tanking roles in ESO, although most other games I'm a DPS at heart.
Always felt like DPS' on ES were boring, especially through Skyrim.
I'm currently a v8 DK, TANK, Sword&Board/Restorations Staff
Dark Elf for extra DPS, because I only play PvP

Stx✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭NightbladeI love Nightblade by far the best. It suits all my favorite character archetypes.
I can make him into an assassin, or an evil lifestealing caster, or a shadow knight type tank that never dies, or even just a plain stamina using warrior(NB class skills often are just red blade slashes, perfect for a non-magickal character).
I think the thing I have become addicted to the most is being able to spam stealth to run past all mobs in a dungeon to quickly get to the end boss or quest objective... huge time saver and makes me feel badass!1 -
Auralia✭✭✭NightbladeIn every ES game I go a sneaky thief/assassin. So primarily use bow with dw daggers for back up. Wish I could use poisons on my weapons though.1 -
bertenburnyb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Templarhard choise, I like both my DK and templar, it all depends on the build, playstyle and, well in my case, lore/background story you associate with them, but since I've been playing my templar last months (and since I thought alot more people would have picked DK
) I'll pick that one Haze Ramoran Dunmer Dragonknight Tank/Dps – Smoked-Da-Herb Saxheel Templar Tank/Healer

✭✭✭SorcererSorceress, I always use 1 destro staff. The other weapon slot changes depending on what I feel like to use. Some times it's a resto staff, other times another destro staff, other times even an 1h mace and shield + full plate. Having specced all roles, I have DPSed, healed and tanked in 4 men instances.Vaerah, Dark Elf Magicka Sorceress

WyndStryke✭✭✭DragonknightMy DK is my favourite now (dunmer firemage, seriously OP
even for an incompetent player like myself), but with the introduction of the thieves guild / dark brotherhood / justice system / stamina rebalancing, I expect that my NB will replace it and become my favourite instead (because those were the bits of the previous ES games I enjoyed the most).

That's my sentiments.. I usually prefer healer nukers with mage assassins second so I started as a Templar, but I won't be playing how I like until we have spell crafting....

I actually like the classes, I play Sorc, Templar and DK, I like the classes, they add a feel to each of my characters.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Kinsaven✭✭✭SorcererSorcerer, and I play her with a two-handed sword as I wanted to go for a Battle Mage type of character. It's just so much fun to first hit them hard with a big damaging spell, before charging in and finishing the job with your sword.0 -
Xnemesis✭✭✭✭NightbladeI don't like any of the classes in this game. My choice is in the other 21 classes that this game left out from the original ES series. Closest thing available is a NB thoughEdited by Xnemesis on July 22, 2014 3:58PM0 -

✭SorcererSorcerer, always played a caster in every MMO I've played over the years.
(Necro/Warlock in those games that have such a class)
Would have liked it if ESO had stuck to its promise and let us mix it up with armor/weapons though and not having to be stuck with cloth/staff for best DPS
