So I'm new to ESO and was looking for which class would fit me best. I was looking to solo most pve, but was looking to doa good amount of pvp as well. Any input would be nice.

    There is a complication in answering that question as you can be also weapon specific builds linked to armor specific builds as well as a class.

    My current experiment is to 2 handed DPS a nord (stamina build) with medium armor and a templar class (purely for a single self heal, not to level anything else in templar)

    The ranged dps (spells or bows), melee dps, healer and tank classes don't apply as clearly to ESO

    If you match the attributes to the build you can pay less attention to the class, however if your intention is to max-min for end game and Trials class choices AND racials become important.
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    Picking a class is like picking a nose; You can pick your own, but it can be quite awkward for someone else to do it for you.

    Just try out the classes at a low level. If you find one that feels right for you level it up more. You can always level up another character.

    What @nobertpaulb16_ESO said is true. There's enough variety in the way to play and build each class that it's almost impossible to answer that question.

    What helped me when I was starting was reading and watching build guides to have some idea of what I could do. Here's a good source for that.

    Seeing what works for most people can be a good guide to what to do yourself. Still, the only way to determine what you'll enjoy is trying them out. Don't be afraid to experiment though, as you can at any time reset your skill points and points spent on health, stamina and magicka if you have enough gold.
