✭✭✭TempIn PvE Temps should beat DKs by a little if they are tank spec. But they have little DPS, DKs instead have a bit less survivability but much higher damage.Vaerah, Dark Elf Magicka Sorceress

stimpy986b14_ESO✭✭✭✭DkI almost wish I voted NB because it looks so lonely up there but, as a player with a NB tank, I couldn't honestly do thatEdited by stimpy986b14_ESO on April 1, 2015 4:14AM0 -

This commemoration is for the class that has constantly been plundered and dismantled by designers for no obvious reason while other classes continue to have coherent skill lines and feel both powerful and cool.0 -
Inactive Account✭✭✭✭I just "Tanked Up" my DK and I tell ya, my Health bar does not drop below 60% . (just in World PvE; just to clarify).0

Jofish✭✭✭NbDev...
Seriously, though... it's not a question of the class, but how well it's played; after numerous wipes it was never one class that stayed alive to the end...

Jofish✭✭✭NbHmmm... It's really not a good question... The question is survivability... any tank can take more damage than a healer or dps, but will they survive? I can hide out with my NB and survive, but what good does that do?...

golfer.dub17_ESO✭✭✭✭My Opinion:
Sorc is best at fleeing, followed by Nightblade.
DK is best at soaking up damage, followed by Templar.
Templars can tank effectively, but I'll always prefer a DK tank to a Templar Tank.Edited by golfer.dub17_ESO on April 1, 2015 6:16AM0 -

✭✭DkStraight ability to take a lot of hits and survive is DK/Templar.
Escaping from combat Sorc & NB... NB probably better in PvE, Sorc for PvP.0 -

dietlime✭✭✭✭TempIt should be the Templar, but it's the DK because ZoS hasn't adequately addressed certain ability costs, cast times, or buffs that shouldn't stack that do.0

likewow777✭✭✭TempUsing my main Templar tank, the entire game is basically solo content, even the group stuff. The DPS is shockingly low, to the point of being embarrassing, but the one thing that's for sure is, all the enemies will die and I will not."War doesn't build character, it reveals it."2

Huckdabuck✭✭✭✭✭So @bg22 are you disappointed that the top answer isn't Sorcs? I mean you were pretty anti-sorc at launch and have come back with a vengeance after B2P hit. Is this an honest poll where you were looking for the subjective views of the community or was this another way for you to poke at sorcs to help fuel your crusade?Edited by Huckdabuck on April 2, 2015 1:37AMTexashighelf - VR16 Sorcerer EP NA - FILTHY BARBARIAN

✭✭TempTemplar. My Templar healer/dps does incredible damage, never runs out of magic and can heal and shield herself for as long as she pleases. She is far superior to my Sorcerer and my DK, though this could just be down to my play style Edited by Elara_Northwind on April 2, 2015 2:21AMSorcerer, Templar, Wolf Collector, Housing Addict!

✭✭TempI completely disagree with the fact that Templars do little damage... Mine doesn't, she can get above 18k! Though generally is around 13-14k, which isn't bad for a character that was built for healing! If she were to be wearing set items etc. aimed toward spell damage, she would do even more!

✭I think everyone is assuming the OP means by damage? because when it comes to PvP, whilst templars and DK's can be very tanky they cannot escape a fight like a Sorc or NB can.0 -
