I really have no idea what I'm doing. I created a NB, she uses a sword and shield, focusing on siphon and shadow skills, with healing staff on the second bar. I've also added a lot of Fighter's Guild and Undaunted skills to both bars. The other day I did a dungeon run and ended up tanking the main boss at the end, and still have no idea what I did to draw its attention from across the room, but managed to do it successfully.

I also enjoy my Templar crafter V16. She's been with me almost since release and I will wander around gathering crafting material for hours, kind of relaxing and mind numbing after a full week.

Inner Fire (stam morph, Undaunted skills) all 3 versions of this are taunts.

My favorite at the moment is my 2-hand / 2-hand Nord stamina DK in all heavy armor. Yes, that's supposed to be awful, but she tears through stuff levels higher than her and, with a little tweaking went from ' oh, gawd... not groups, not casters, i hate dying ' to literally destroying big groups like they're made of tissue.

Fond my of NB Healer, too. With one exceptions when the dungeon was scaled to 17, I was 14 and our tank was 12 and the other two DPS were elitist pricks ( only Templars can heal lawl ). Other than that, the NB siphon and resto staff heals are doing a fine job.

Been playing my—I guess he's a "Stamplar"—since I got the game. Not based off a build, I don't really understand all the FOTW garbage, just want to play what's comfortable and fun. Solo, he's a 1H/S + bow guy, in group play he's a part time/assistant healer on Restro staff + DPS with 1H/S.

Always and forever a bow man, though. Love that bow. Pew pew.

I was playing a Mag Sorc pet build too, but decided to try something else the other day. On a whim I tried the 5pc undaunted infiltrator set with a lightning staff. The range damage of my heavy attacks is fairly decent with correct champ points and the disintegration procs off the heavy attack AOE.

Also, with a shock enchant on the lightning staff, casting wall of elements is setting players off balance like crazy. It weird to run 5pc medium armor on a magicka sorc but it's working really well.

Sorry I actually had the DOT damage turned off here for some reason.but you can see the "off balance" which was my cue to dawnbreaker.

I tried this set up on my DK too with molten armaments and I was getting even better damage of the heavy attacks but the lack of mobility compared to sorc and no disintegration doesn't seem to be worth it.

That's actually really cool, like for real. I can imagine combining that with a pet build with the Daedroth monster helm set to devastating effect. Sorry, I've got summons on my brain XD

When its a Zerg Vs Zerg fight, i love throwing down caltrops on the enemy and spamming bombard. Watching my Zerg just roll over everyone because of my lock down is great.

I got bored of the whole melee playstyle. Too many proxi's and unavoidable damage when in group play. So using range has become very fun for me.

In PvE across all characters, I try to balance high DPS with good sustain. I hate going all DPS (no matter how meta it is). My sustain sucks and I don't want to rely on chugging potions for every single fight.

I love playing high survival counter builds. The ones with good defense and recovery and deal damage by countering opponents. "The harder you hit me, the harder I hit back." This can be with literal counters, absorbing damage to build power, or flat out reflecting damage -- it's all about punishing the enemy for attacking me. I also like to pack enough support that if the enemy ignores me, killing my compatriots will be all the tougher, now buffed up!

Not a perfect execution in practice, but a glorious ideal to strive for.

Wear clothes/armor that makes my cat girl look pretty, do quests cause I enjoy a good story, take in the scenery cause I love to explore, and then scream my head off cause I allowed myself to go into Cyrodiil and get ruined by overpowered players over and over again.

2h/bow stamplar always gets my jollies off. Javelin is the reason I rolled a Templar at launch, and still my favorite skill to date. Also, I've been having a ton of fun using the new Eternal Hunt set to wreck gap-close spammers and troll gankers in sewer tunnels. XD

I really only PvP though. I've seen some really cool class/build options that I would love to try, but I don't have time to level and farm skill points and rep. That crap is so tedious...

I spend about half of my playtime afk thanks to great features like this.

I experiment with my skills,but always run a Stamina Nightblade.
Since I can move my skills around,and use them different for either bar,I find those that work best for me.
