I'm trying to decide which class I want to dedicate my time toward. I enjoy both pve and pvp, I've also done a bit of tanking, healing and DPS. Before I use all of my mats gearing up I'd like to know which classes are the most viable or least nerfed. From what I've read on the forums and through my own gameplay I'm finding Sorc and DKs are in the most trouble. Some people are complaining about Templars too. Does that mean night blades are the strongest class now?

    Nah, DK is pretty much the top dog for just about everything now: best DPS, best tanks and top of the food chain in PvP (Stamina DK that is :p )

    Sorc is not in THAT much trouble, but a lot of ppl don't find the class fun to play with anymore. It's still a viable class tho...

    My Sorc is already geared but I'm just not enjoying it anymore. Figures you would say Stam DK it is about the only character I don't have leveled and my magica DK is high elf so I'd need to reroll.

    I think that is the biggest problem, in the end. On PvP, sorcerers are not that bad. On PvE, though, the only reasons I can see for someone to play a sorcerer instead of anything else is if they only have that character or if they really enjoy playing as sorcerers. And when the class is not fun to play anymore, well... One of the only reasons to play it goes out of the window. Also, people who have only their sorcerer have an easier time leveling up another character now, since you can powerlevel another character pretty quickly with a Training set and xp pots and CP is shared.

    Plus, people are kicking sorcerers from PUGs, which is annoying and frustrating, so I can see how many people prefer to avoid the hassle and just play something else if they don't have friends to group up with.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I can level a character in a couple days so that isn't a problem. I don't want to fully gear a toon and then realize it isn't viable. Gear is a lot harder to come by than 50 levels.

    I would like some insight as to why stamina DK's would be best for PVP?

    I have two stamina DK's and in the past when I have taken one of them into PVP as a mid vet level character with no CP's, I just got wiped by DD's dealing huge damage all the time. They were both built and spec'd for tanking and aside from changing armour, I never really respec'd for PVP.

    This led me to forego PVP and focus on PVE but maybe I should try again now I have 499 CP's and they are all max level.

    People have this delusion because some players from a tournament got their butts kicked in a 1v1 and said that "Dks are top of the food chain for PvP". Honestly Stamina DK is by far not the best stamina class in PvP; it has two passives that are amazing and people wanna use that to tip the scale lol..

    Now I preform pretty good in PvP but nevertheless it's not the best class especially when fighting other classes as frequently as I do; I can definitely tell which is better IMO.
    PvE definitely Stam DK for single target bosses but that's about it.
