Didn't even use them when I was getting gear requests from him to assist with the builds early on.

If you really want to learn about combat mechanics in order to work on your own builds (the meta is there, yes, but in my opinion it's better to know how the game works combat wise to know how to build what works better for you) i really suggest you to have a look on Gilliamtherogue channel.

Very good and insightful content there for sure!

Cheers.

Most of Deltias stuff came from Gilliam anyways

I partially look at several common endgame builds, partially ask around in my guilds, and partially use my own brains and test what works.

I use my own build as only that fit's my play style, nuff said.

Yep, I'm by no means a noob but I don't do vet raids any more just because I can't be bothered with the attitude people have. I play how I want, its not a hybrid or anything crazy. It ammues me when people try to insult players as *rp-er* because they don't use a meta build. They fail to realise they too are RP-ing in a game world, just they take it deadly seriously, that's quite tragic.

I simply play how I like, I do perfectly fine in everything, I do not raid with jerks, I stick to PvP mostly and have fun, its a game and I have fun ^^

I wear whatever fits me and my playstyle

Deltia literally has people who do the maths and hand feeds him the builds, usually of which are meta and are just copies of other peoples builds.

I always make and finetune my own build but maybe thats because im tanking and this field still leaves a lot of space for build personalisation.

Nevertheless I find it hilarious when 2 days ago some certain very vocal tank makes up a build and declares a specific set to be "BIS" for tanks in Morrowind and same day i see players storming traders and zone chats trying to buy out that set.

Step 1. Be a vocal and popular person in eso with a base of followers
Step 2. Target a niche set and buy it out
Step 3. Publish "hey look new BIS, must have for X patch" article
Step 4. Release the items to traders
Step 5. ???
Step 6. Profit

This is why ill always be careful at what "build producers" suggest especially if it includes tradeable gear. Ive already seen people do tricks like suggest to wear X while they themselves do not use it at all.

on my side, i get to use his or Alcast builds when i started a new toon with a class for the first time, just to get to know the class and role, then at one point when i get to know it, i start playing around with CPs, skill bar allocation etc.. so i end up creating my own build. But that'S how i was in all MMO, i love creating my own stuff. I still say build sometimes are suited for your own play style and your likes....

For exemple, when i tried most of their build for my Magika Sorc, no way i was able to get close to the result they do, ok i do not own any vMA staff, nor Golden moondancers jewly, only BSW Sharp Staff and blue IA jewls... so i read a bit about passives since i was out of the game for 2 years, some changess etc.. so i ended up with some of my own CP distribution, some of my skill bar etc and then because of some of the bassive readout, i ended up switching inferno and lightning staves (even though everyone mostly go online with either 2 inferno or lighting on front and inferno on back, how could i even dare doing that :P) from front and back bar and decided to change the enchant on them... the result was surprising, as with my play style for semeple, with those found on net build, i was only getting 25k on dummy, at the end i was getting 31k, all that no ultimate, no potions, no elemental drain or no ones buffs besides mine... But again, i love testing out stuff, i don'T get headache math stuff, i simply put on gear try out stuff, fool around with CPs with diff test, etc.. just doing that with my new toons alone it's a fun, allows me to get to know my toon and not become a copy cat, of course at the end it ends up to look like others, because we get to understand the best skills each classes has... but i love fooling around bashing on my dummy for tests in beetween some farming, mats gathering, pledges or trials repetitive runs.

so somtimes yep, coming up with your own stuff is good, and makes you proud of it. But yeah to start with as you get to know the toon, it's helpful a bit..

I've looked at builds as suggestions or tips on what I can change about my own setup. Where to put CP or what other set to go with the one I already use. I don't copy the entire thing, especially with all the Best in Slot end game builds that are nothing but armor and weapons found only in Veteran Trials which I NEVER touch.

my first was a deltia build (umbra nb) but i couldnt get into the playstyle of it so i changed things around ... now i just make my own

As a beginner i used Deltias build as a template to start building upon. Nowdays i know my class and the game more and do my own builds

Same

Thanks to the patch notes, I've only known Deltia from his famous breakdown. Previous to this, I had no clue who he was. Never watched any of his videos. I don't watch videos for builds. Game mechanics, sure, but a set build I leave to me.

As it should be. If I understand the game enough, builds should simply follow the mechanics and my game style.

The stupidity of everyone rushing to make the same build, a problem of every game ever, will never go away.

I refuse to chase others nor would I want anyone chasing me.

I use meta builds as a template then make changes or flavor changes from there. My flavor choices might not squeeze out the last bit of dps out of my toon, but my builds are usually still competitive and fun at the same time.

Lmao im glad no one actually uses his builds all the way

Most of them are pure BS no offence
