    I am not getting pawned as Nightblade. I just feel I can help my guild and friends more as a tank. You guys are strongly against this for no legitimate reason.

    The first MMO I played (my username) used an ingenious character creation method where you could choose from the entire skill list, so the combination of builds was virtually infinite. This was 16 years ago and was truly groundbreaking. Some of the Bethesda products followed a variation of this model with great success. Of course some builds turned out to be more effective than others :)

    So make a DK tank. Or respec your NB. Or learn to play your NB. There are quite a few options.

    You have a reading comprehension problem. Stop playing so many video games and work on that skill buddy. Put some skill points into it and grind through book mobs.

    Or perhaps it is you who fail to grasp simple suggestions presented. You want to help friends by tanking, respec and do it with your nightblade. Or roll and level a DK, a widely accepted quality tank class. Please continue to reveal your limited intelligence with cry threads and childish insults though.

    MMOS take time. Doesn't make since to have a class change or race change. Start an alt. :) Easy

    First of all the only thing "classes" did in the old games was select Major and Minor skills for you. Youd need 10 levels in a Major skills to level up and if you didn't balance leveling your minor skills the right way you wouldn't get triple +5s on attributes on a level up. Therefore "classes" have always been inefficient, If you played the old games it was custom class all day. The only huge differnce in character was the racial.

    Corrected myself I said attributes rather than skills.

    Take Oblivion for example:
    Blade - replaced by a passive
    Blunt - replaced by a passive
    Hand to Hand - gone
    Armorer - replaced by an armor trait
    Block - build into some classes, champion, and snb tree
    Heavy Armor - still exists
    Speed - built into some classes and med armor tree
    Athletics -replaced by armor trait
    Acrobatics - dodge replaced by med armor skill
    LightArmor - still exists
    Security - thank you justice system
    Sneak - classes and justice
    Marksman -still exists
    Personality replaced by a useless passive
    Mercantile - gone
    Speechcraft - replaced by a useless passive
    Alchemy - still exists

    Edit : Dont even get me started on true ES magic and ESO magic

    Race/Class change reminds of the Aesop fable The Boy and The Filberts: A child who tries to grab too many nuts out of the jar, only to have his hand stuck at the neck of the jar and so..."Unwilling to lose his nuts but unable to withdraw his hand, he burst into tears. A bystander, who saw where the trouble lay, said to him, "Come, my boy, don't be so greedy: be content with half the amount, and you'll be able to get your hand out without difficulty."

    It's easy to level a new character, it's easy to pick a new class, a new race even. ZOS gives you 8 slots to do it. But what if those 8 slots are full you say? Then the issue isn't about allowing class change. A much simpler solution, and one that wouldn't be wrought with bugs (or as many bugs I should say) would be to increase the character slot number. Something that could easily be done through the crown store. With that you can have all the nuts you want........

    well..here's an idea..you can stop whining on the forums and just level all 4 classes to max level.

    then you can play FOTM since that seems to be your only goal here.

    Couldn't give a flying about Pvp abilities, it's just not my thing...no offense to those who enjoy it of course.
    I've literally maxed dozens of characters in all the previous ES games with tens of thousands of hours playing.
    Yes I'm old & an ES game nerd...I play nothing else since Arena.
    I have abundant time to build alt's, but I just don't want to until I can complete all Pve available, ie, after XBox EU gets IC.

    That being said, I'd dearly like to change from an Imperial in my current character to experience the racial passives of a Khajiit.
    My mistake I accept, that I wasn't aware when building the character of the differences...but I'd like to see how a Stealth-Paws would be at my present build in comparison, and I'd pay regardless of the cost...if you're listening Zos.

    How it should have been implemented - You have access to every skill in the game. Upon creating your character you select a class, which is more of a template that lists their favoured skills (ie: Battlemage: Heavy Armour, One Hand+Shield, Mages Wrath, Fiery Grip). You gain bonus experience when utilising these skills and so they rank up faster and offer slightly more benefits (minimally increased damage, longer durations, etc), but it does not stop you from using any other skill that your chosen "class" is not experienced in.
    I know, I know. You're all thinking "Wow man! That sounds cool!". And you're right, it is cool. But if your one character can do anything, how does the MMO developer get money? They don't. They lose money on experience scrolls once you've maxed your character, they don't get any money from impatient people buying riding training for their other characters. Basically, people would be content with one character, and that's just not profitable. So the choice you have is to roll yet another alt and pay for them to rise up the ranks. Quite ingenious really. Having said that, I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing class changes any time soon, so please stop asking. Hell, we can't even change our nab hair yet.

    I would pay them not to do this. The last thing a group needs is a vet level character that just had a class change where the user doesn't know how to play it. They didn't grow up with it so they aren't going to know it like the person who leveled the right way... the less lazy way.

    LMAO there he is with his "Nerd" dropping like it has weight on a forum for a video game.. Man I think we are all a little nerdy.. No matter how you try to flip it we are all playing the same game just like you. Guess you are immune to it and tell yourself "You are a snowflake"

    But honest question? Are you not a nerd until you level an alt? Is that what you are scared of? You think you are not a nerd until you level an Alt? Just asking because if that is the case I am scared......../ looks at his 4 alts.. Man please tell me... Am I infected with this "Nerd" disease you are so afraid of?

    Am I infected guys?

    I can see Flyers now..

    Sorcs are as OP as hell still coz their shields still stack, yes they are less but then so is my damage, NO CHANGE to this scenario actually,

    Think i'll spend time playing on my sorc... YES....

    If it's a stamina sorc, they don't count, if it's magicka sorcerer your just really terrible. Shields are expensive and you can cut through them quite quickly. The only one you should be concerned about is Conjured ward, blitz with physical attacks and dance around them with snares and CC while you drain there health, vanish when you need breathing room so they have a hard time getting a lock and retreat to use bow's snipe. Not hard.

    Also Sorcerers can't self heal in combat so it's not hard to tear a cloth wearer like wet tissues.
