Can anyone offer any new tips to a returning player who hasn't played the game for over 9 months? (I got sucked into Archeage)

Currently I am logged out in craglorn at VR12 wearing VR12 armor...The game seems the same but feels so different.

My experience: 2 Cyrodiil campaign wins.

If there is already a thread about returning players I apologize
Character: Eros, Eros I I, The Paw of Woe

    That's pretty much my case. I came back to ESO after 4 months because I had to stop cuz of college exams and when I came back to my VR8 and seen a lot of stuff has changed and many different things, I made myself a new character.
    Started from the very beginning, asked on forums on what's changed, gotten into newer, more active guilds where they've helped me to answer questions about what has changed etc.

    I wasn't sure if I really wanna delete my old VR8 (cuz I wanted to keep his name on my new character) but when I decided it took me 2 days to prepare my new character. Gotten him traits to research right off the beginning, power leveled blacksmithing, made a gear so I won't have to worry about it untill 36lvl.

    Now I'm glad I started over, many things have changed. To my surprise especially dungeons are a lot bigger now, pretty much every dungeon is waaayy more complex than it used to be. Public dungeons are a bit changed. For example EP's Sanguine's Demense has changed significantly.

    Also I made a thread about it but I was told to check out patch notes which, LOL. even for me that was 4 months of patch notes and that was a lot. Can't imagine 9 months of a patches.
    Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines.

    reading 9 months of patch notes would be a pain, that's why I wanted some tips lol. I'd hate to start over to relearn everything and wanted to know what exactly to do at VR12 and beyond.

    Few balancing, few stating story's etc... , some skills are useless now, at the moment sorc + nb's rule cyrodiil. I'd just keep your character, you may want to go back eventually.

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.

    RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...

    Is my Bow/Dual wield templar useless?

    templar got nerfed xD , not sure i don't have a templar or such but it's really easy to switch builds, it'll only take 1-2 days to max a skill line with training trait.
