would really love to change my class!!

Bigevilpeter · October 2015

i played my first character imperial templar, was hoping to be a healer, then i realized that my i can only play him as a tank. So i made another high elf magica templar and he works pretty fine. but i got the first character to vet 2 already and leveling characters is a complete tedious chore, besides i leveled his riding skills and collected skyshards etc.

Now no point of having 2 strongest characters templars, i really wish i could pay real money to change him to a dragon knight or nightblade.

plz zenimax give us that option if it's payed people won't easily make this decision, but it is really needed in some cases !!

I'm 100% against this idea. Just reroll. Even if they eventually add this feature, it'd be quicker for you to just reroll now.

Tryxus · October 2015

By the time you rerolled, there prob still won't be a Class Change option

I should know, cuz I was crazy enough to reroll a V16 Sorc to a V16 NB when I learned that the NB is more of an illusionist than the Sorc

My first character that i hated became an awesome crafter and mule lol

Because of the racials? The racials are not so drastic that you can't play a build they aren't optimized for. Playing the game and improving will have a much more noticeable impact than different racials.

Imperial is actually one of the most versatile races. Everyone needs health and stam. My Imperial DK floats between stam and magicka depending how I'm feeling

Well the racials is one thing, which later made me realize he should be built as stamina with a little magika. I already built him as sword and shield and bow and leveled heavy armor and honestly I still wouldn't change that if I'm still playing an imperial because its one of those things that bug you every time you log in that your race is not the right one.

Also I already build a high elf magika templar so no point of having two magika templars

TheShadowScout · October 2015

Go to your faction capital, visit a certain shrine, reset attributes, rebuild your imperial templar as stamina templar/paladin. Keep enjoying your altmer templar as magica templar/healer.

Where is the problem?

Well ... we definetly have different perspectives.

I have a lot of characters across two accounts including two dunmer magicka DKs. I enjoy playing them, and they are very different characters in terms of what skills they use and how they act.

UltimaJoe777 · October 2015

I have a full roster of 8 characters, each a different race, and each covers every class twice! That is what alts are for after all.

Yeah but I would like to try a different class without having to do all that tedious leveling again and the Imperial templar was just not what I had in mind. Besides I heard Stamina templars are not that good anyways

The best way to learn a new class comes by growing with it. If they just hand you a maxed out class you're not gonna have a clue how to use it and hate it immediately.

Yes but I really dont have that much time to level 8 characters probably gonna focus on only like 2 or 3 max so I'd rather they be different classes at least

This is a common reason most people provide. What they fail to realize though is (unless your subscription or your internet service or whatnot needed to play said game is going to expire or end, in which case you could just renew it anyway and if not then you had a good run

) you have all the time you need to play the game. If you don't, then oh well it was fun while it lasted and you have memories to bring along with you as you move forward in life and hey maybe you can even return to the game someday!

It's all up to you of course but I think an Imperial Templar is just about the most versatile Class/Race combo out there.
You could look around for a fun DPS or Tank build.

A lot of people seem to worship the Jesus Beam if that's what you're asking lol

Elvenpath · October 2015

You can change faction/race maybe but i don' think it's not an issue to change your class. In every MMO there is no option like you suggest. Tbh i prefer this is should be like this.

Level? Not so much. I have been playing since a couple months after PC launch and my highest is vet4. I've not finished more than a couple of zones of Caldwell's silver, and most of my characters are under 15th level.

I play way to often just wandering around, maybe crafting something or doing some weird obscure quest. Haven't managed to actually finish ANY vet undaunted; only through about 15% of Craglorn, and in my entire "career" only found two nirn bits and gave them to a friend who is actually learning (and crafting) the trait.

There is plenty of the game that I've not touched.

Going back to the race/class combo issue, I have not tried to "play one of everything", in fact I so like the idea of having familiars (and I wish we had more options for ... skins ... as I'm not asking for super powers ... well anyway) so early on the first four or five characters I rolled up were all sorcs. I've still got my dunmer sorc, my two altmer sorcs, my one bosmer sorc turned out to have a personality more suited to an NB so I ended up recreating her. I also have two orc sorcs. Just recently rolled up a Nord Sorc (actually I totally forgot to choose a class, and when she showed up in Cold Harbor wearing the robes that indicated I'd apparently ended up with sorc, I figured what the heck). I seem to go in waves. I have several orc templars, and then recently a couple of dunmer DKs.

Exactly this. People that grinded up a char and have no clue how to play it are allready annoying enough, we don't need more veteran players with less experience how to play their class.

Well if you're running Stamina there are some skills useful there as well. I honestly don't think I know a Templar that does not run Puncturing Strikes and the morph Biting Jabs runs off Stamina. There's also Piercing Javelin with a Stamina morph called Binding Javelin. That's all I can recall off hand.

Yes i know all his stamina skills I have 2 templars

No stamina Finisher like with nightblade you will have to run good old two hander and execute...

willymchilybily · October 2015

You said your first character is veteran rank 2. The time you have spent levelling him so far is probably less than the remaining time to level him to V16. Best just to re-roll. honestly.

Except for DCUO i don't think there has ever been a "class" change for an MMO, and they only have one because they bring out a new class every 4 months, and balance be damned.

Even then you would need to level the skill lines, so just start a new character, and keep the one you don't like as a crafter is the best advice

newtinmpls · October 2015

On the other hand, level every single skill in every single line that you have access to. Including morphs.

Bigevilpeter · October 2015

I just need one simple answer that can help my problem, is Imperial Stamina DPS templar good in the endgame compared to other dps classes?

Cause if he is I'll just change him to dps (tank too boring) and probably be able to live with it.

ItsRejectz · October 2015

DCUO handled class change perfectly. I have no need for it as I have every classes leveled up, but I have no objections to it. Some people get bored of playing the same class and would rather choose to quit playing, than going through the grind of leveling another class. Been able to change it up when you are bored would keep it feeling fresh.

Realize that any answer you get is subject to change with the next major patch.

Plus... it will depend on what skills your character has/has slotted, how good a player you are, what your situation awarness is, how well you gestalt with any groups....

A character/combo could be terrific for one person and completely unworkable for another.
