Hey all /wave

I am returning and moving from PS4 to PC, I have been away for some time and was going to return to dable in both PvE and PvP, my main issue is I like to DPS or tank in PvE and in PVP I like mostly just DPS, I wanted to roll sorc but obviously a magicka sorc can't do the tank part in PvE, or can it? any suggestions on race/class combinations would be much appreciated! :)

    Ideally, you will need to decide between tank or DPS. Each class/race can have skills to help you survive. The next decision from there is solo/group. You can always work skills and change your bars up based on your content and situation.

    I play a Mag Sorc for PvE and I solo just fine using shields to keep me protected and I keep my distance. With Stam builds you can always use Vigor or Rally to help heal on top of using food and pots.

    I haven't been playing long enough to be an expert, so all I can tell you is NOT nightblades. They're not as good in PvE as any of the other classes. In fact, a lot of people say they're dead last in PvE.

    Not true, you just need to know how to play them. Any Stam build for PvE can be viable, it is all about the rotation and mastering it. I play a stamblade and do just fine in terms of DPS.

    I would suggest DK. Templars are my second choice.

    Mag DK in heavy armor is a PvP monster, and light armor mag DK has one of the best single target PvE DPS... you will always be more than welcome in a trial.

    I main a mag DK and I'm usually tanking as mag tank. It's a blast, would highly recommend a mag DK PvE tank.

    Templar is in my opinion the most versatile class, as he can do all three roles very well.
    If geared properly, a templar (both mag and stam) can be a PvP force.

    The only thing to notice is that both classes are close combat DDs.
    Sorcerers can perform as top DPS while always being on a safe distance.

    OK :) thanks for the response! I get the idea it can be any class basically, I ended up with stam blade but templar may well be next on the list!
