Hello Everyone
I departed the game back in July/August, and have recently got the craving to come back and explore the wonderful world of ESO.
I just had a quick read through the patch notes, and boy, there has been a lot of changes since I last logged on. I've taken a fair few points from there that I need to consider and keep in mind.
However...I thought I'd put it out there in the hope that a regular player/forumer could potentially give me a TL;DR version of the most crucial changes that pertain to me?
To give you a background- I pretty much play PvE only, and was up to VR9 iirc. My build was initially Bow + Dual Dagger w/medium armor, which I then changed to Destro + Resto w/light armor. I hit level 50 in Smithing and Woodworking.
The state of play before I left was: 1). VR difficulty just decreased after much whinging, 2). Everyone was wearing dresses and shooting fireballs out of sticks (even me!), 3). Stamina builds being UP was a popular topic, 4). Magicka/Crit builds were the way to go, 5). Vampires were everywhere, Werewolves were just hairy, no-good louts.
So....what has changed? Am I in for a rude shock? Game currently downloading btw- any advice or important information would be appreciated!

Mostly DKs, but yes
and yes, or at least people claim... I personally play a templar healer/dps and no problems at all so I'm not sure what other peoples problem is, even healing i can come close to keeping up with the dps in my group. However DKs are definately the master of all trades and can do anything and are really OP. However as far as sorcs go not so much anymore, it is now nightblades, and mostly for the circle thingy they put down, veil of something or something like that....
Stamina builds are becoming a little more popular however really any ranged build is going to be popular seeing as melee builds are really getting screwed, however when you can get in melee ive seen stam builds do more dps than spell crit builds and the dual wield aoe stell tornado is one of the best in game ae's
As far as everything else, the vet ranked stuff is too easy, they launched undaunted dailies to complete for gold keys that eventually give you a shoulder piece which is part of a set which has a helm that you get from the vet dungeon bosses. all dungeons vet and normal now scale to the party leaders level, max v12 except for CoA i think. I never really paid attention i just kill stuff lol
And of course champion system will be in the next update (1.6) and will be on pts after the new year. As well as the first tier of the justice systemEdited by Dubah on December 14, 2014 4:49AM3 -
Fruity_Ninja✭✭✭✭I see. So Nightblades are getting their time in the sun? Swings and roundabouts I guess, just like any online game.
So with my DK. I have the ability to spec him as a Med armor +dual/bow- which I always enjoyed more. But I switched to the staff + light armor combo so I could get through some of the harder content easier. Is the stamina build more feasible now? Or is magicka still the most important resource pool?

You still can steal stuff as long as you don't get caught
