When I play my DK, its cliche sure, but I play her to tank - so shes built that way. I dont want to suck at being a tank, because I dont want to let others in the group down. So shes got sustain, shes got armor but I dont expect her DPS to be on a par with others in the slightest.
If I could do that, I'd be so absurdly overpowered that everyone would play my build.
Limiting what people can and cant do in one moment has actually increased diversity for the first time in ages. Its a good step forward.
From what you say, anyone would think that you cant level up alternate weapons and plan seperate builds for your character and adopt those roles. Thats simply untrue, as I take my classes from one role to another fairly often.
It takes work, sure enough. Sort of the point in having a character and work that means anything at all dont you think?

So not sure here? I fully agree that you cannot expect to be great at everything. I was under the impression that the OP was having an issue respecting to just fill the role. I am by far not the best at any role I play, but I can, even in the middle of a dungeon, change skills to be able to do those things. I agree with you Rainfeather, being the best at something does require devoting resources and skill. And I doubt anyone would claim to be the best at all 3 on a character. So maybe I am misunderstanding what is being discussed. What I said above is merely that the game allows diversity in playstyle quite easily, without needing to respec. But I can fill all the roles, but I only do well as a healer. The only way I would be able to be a very good tank would be if I abandoned the build I have and devote myself to tanking.
But for the record, I was full tank till VR5, then I changed to all healing for the rest. I didn't respec, to achieve this. I got new armor, changed the glyphs, etc. Play as you want isn't being the best at everything. It, IMO, means that you should be able to do anything. What I wrote above does that.
(And Rainfeather, not trying to fight with you. Your point is valid, and I will be happy to discuss it. Just not trying to fight today with anyone. Please don't take my words as confrontational.)

Perhaps you didnt get what I said... its the facilty to switch builds on the same character without the need to respec... I have over 280 skill points with skills having both morphs levelled... I want the facility to be able to switch role as needed... as I said before the CP system one could just put all points hp and then switch gear... this is not viable anymore...

As to this part....so if you balanced skill/attribute points, then glyphs for STAM on one armor set, and MAGICKA on the other, you would have the problem fixed. Sorry, it just seems that you are asking for the best of everything and to me, that doesn't work. Honestly, if you are min/max, then you are going to hurry to get 3600CP, then you will have max everything. So this problem won't exist.
While convenience could be nice in some regards, I like the that a character can specialize in 1.6 and statistically do that role better.
It's less the game that's not letting you play as you want and more about what you and your group members are willing to accept. And as long as the issue is with the player's way of thinking, no advice we give will appease you.

Seriously man... have u even tried a magica build?

Are you Serious???? let me rephrase... You would set the champion points and attributes for a stamina build u save it, u u set up same for magica build u save it if you need to change anything u have to respec either one or other or both... now u have 2 builds you can play with the character... is it simple enough?

Solution to this problem..........get all 3600CP and problem solved. No respec required. But this has nothing to do with play as you want.

Well attributes take all of 10 seconds and champ takes at most 5 minutes if you have the build built already. You can do this now, just save it to a spreadsheet on your computer and problem solved
henryabelarwb17_ESO wrote: »With the current system one cannot be a tank one run and dps or healer the other, please give us some kind of system where we can have at least 2 options to choose from and they can be switched. These would be settings that can be saved and loaded for Attributes(HP, Mag, Stam) and settings for Champion points. That way If I want to play pvp or tank I do not have to respec every time... and with the grouping tool not being used, sometimes u need to switch role to be able to do the dailies... 2 saved options would be real good, 3 would be perfect...
RainfeatherUK wrote: »Yes im serious. I simply do not agree with you, is that too difficult for you to grasp?
When I design a character, it is many things.
Aesthetics (The look) I value this.
A role - I'm a long term PvP mmo player but in this instance I also have a mind of what 'class' or idea that character may have. Even in single player games I have an idea of it.
Race, whilst sort of a part of the first point, is alot ot do with Lore in this game. That has some influence too.
With all these things, I have a very fixed Idea of what I wish to be in the beginning. It'll be of no surprise to you then, that I am a fan of the class system and the trinity in mmos. Fot this reason, I disliked gw2 (lack of it).
Clearly your argument is one of wanting to have access to everything on one character. But in a way that you cant be bothered to put in the work required.
We arent going to agree because of (as Morshire already stated) our different viewpoints on value, hardwork and meaning.
So i'll exit the conversation also. Sorry.

Yep, I "gettit"......So first, the title is misleading. Second, pissing all over everyone who came here in an attempt to help isn't going to win you support. Third, thinking everyone is a "joker" or not gettit" cause we don't agree isn't a thread topic. You should of asked people to just come read, agree or shut up.
Simply put, I "gettit", what you want is the ability to do it all and not pay. Well even farther from something I agree with. Seriously, if you would have been clearer, I would have jumped from this thread long ago. So now, do you GETTIT?

I am tired of people wanting to shoot down ideas and suggestions, this is not asking much but then again you are fine as you are... If you have a stamina build you dont have any problems for sure... magica on the other hand got shafted big time and we are restricted to a single gear build... unless you experienced it you wouldn't know... just play some more till you arrrive at that stage...
