Doing some research for another article (ESO won't be mentioned by name, nor will the classes, but I can get a general overview). Please, no fighting or nerf requests. I just want to see numbers and, if you are willing, reasons why you chose your class. All votes are anonymous :3

    All four, actually. In order of time put into, though:

    - Nightblade
    - Sorcerer
    - Templar
    - DK

    So far NBs seem the most popular! I wonder how many people just stick with what they have and how many go through the game again to be that class...

    NB was my first ever choice too. I'm always an archer/rogue in fantasy games. But oddly I found I radiated more towards a Sorc after trying them all out.

    I've always gravitated towards the sneaky kill-them-from-the-shadows playstyle, so the NB was an obvious choice for a first character.

    In Oblivion, even when I tried to break from that, I ended up with a sneaky Heavy Armor orc. :-P

    But I did enjoy trying out the other classes and different roles and I have tweaked my two nightblades to have different playstyles.

    Always loved the options of Templar. Although mainly a healer, I like that I have ranged attacks as well as good heals and a few tank type skills, kind of...

    All 4.
    My stamina nightblade is my highest level so I voted for that but I like all the classes except templar although my magicka templar is pretty easy to play.

    My Templar has the most time played, my nb has the highest alliance rank and my dk has the most time played since the last patch.
    What should I vote for?

    True :) Although I didn't enjoy my NB and got her to VR5 before I gave up entirely and went with a Sorc xD

    Well I actually started out as a Sorc, thinking the Mage class had Illusion spells or smth. But then I rerolled to a DK (I blame Maw of the Infernal for making me think DPS classes were too glass cannon :p ) then back to Sorc be4 finally settling on NB :p

    Don't do that

    Just play the class that you yourself enjoy the most, not because it's OP or cuz the majority uses it.

    Yes, maybe add an option for more than one class?

    Three but not four ... no sorcerer.

    War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

    The heroes during times of war, are nothing but mass murderers during times of peace.

    I play all classes. Stam sorc not done yet tho.

    Except stamplar, has to be the most boring thing I've ever played, I deleted it early on...

    Currently playing NBs and mag sorcs, because you can't do s**t as a templar or DK in 1vX. Would prefer to play magicka DK if my stamina didn't melt in 2 seconds.

    Note that's it's related to BwB (non-vet campaign).

    8 toons, 4 at top, 5th is coming next.

    I love my sorc for solo play, DK - for survival skills, NBs - for killing and templar - for healing.

    Where's the choice "Each"?

    My primary class is Templar, I have both Magicka and Stamina Templar and find both extremely fun to play. I also have a Dragon Knight and a Night Blade as well but not near the time spent on either of them as I have on my Templars.

    Templar is my favorite only because you have the most playstyle options and it is most conducive to "play as you want."

    I play all, but I <3 templar the best :) I think just because it seems to suit my play style the most! Sorcerer is my least favourite...

    I play NB and DK mostly, and branched into Sorc recently. Started with a NB because I typically roll Rogue/Assassin or Ranged type characters. Most of the time I avoid the mage archtype roles, but find Sorc in ESO to actually be more fun and engaging.

    Have all, but Sorc primarily. It's what I came here for, I was disappointed in the "casters" in LOTRO and the cooldown management combat.
    Ranged caster is my thing. A fencer, a dancer with death.
    At least in my imagination lol.
