I wanted to post something a little different today. There are plenty of posts about sustain, BGs, and specific builds. But I would like to hear about your favorite class/character. By now, many of us have leveled up multiple characters to get a feel for what we liked the best. So I ask you, what is your favorite character to date? Not necessary the character with the highest DPS, but which one was the most fun for you? After voting on the class itself, feel free to leave a comment explaining why you found that character to be the most fun.

    Why are there no options for hybrid Templar and NB? Because I run those 2 and they work like a charm this patch. <3

    It would have been difficult to envision all the potential combos for hybrid characters. :D

    For myself, the most "fun" is the character I do overland content with, pretending its not an MMO. Just go around doing quests and killing stuff. Its not at all an optimal build (stam nightblade, vampire, dunmer) running all health recovery sets and skills, but I enjoy it.

    On the other hand. The character I enjoy playing for group content is a mag sorc. Simply because of ease of use and compatibility with others.

    My trial build is a mSorc because of it's easy rotation and overall power. But it's not my favorite, either.

    I love my sneaks, and while my magblades do sneak better by virtue of their magicka pools, there is just something so fun about sneaking up for a perfect backstab, and then Steel Tornadoing and Flurrying them to death before they even know what hit them. :)

    Fear my dual daggers of spinning doom!
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    Two people voted for Warden already. Maybe I should have added separate enties for magicka or stamina. It seemed a bit early, though.

    Only 3 Templars? I would've thought they would be much higher. Not as much fun as it seems, I guess?

    Interesting you should ask - I nearly answered Stam NB because that's my main, and I really do enjoy him - he plays just about exactly the way I want him to play - mobile, deadly, melee, dangerously squishy

    but the truth is, I had to be honest - my Mag Sorc is just...more fun. All the spell damage skills are just...more interesting. Between the lightning line and the destro staff, I get a huge range of potential outputs for my skills, with flame knockbacks, lightning executes - everything the sorc does is flashy and explodey - well, at least, everything MY sorc does, and I can swap between total lightning, flame, and frost relatively easily so that I get all these exciting flashy effects pretty much at will

    and then, of course, I can swap resto and heal myself back up, pets if I wanna go that direction - and some halfway decent mages guild skills that seem to thematically fit pretty well as well

    in short, my sorc is glowy and flashy and wooshy and as far as pure moment-to-moment OOOH AAAAH effect, I guess my sorc is my winner for pure fun factor

    My NB is still my main and always will be though

    Magicka Nightblade.

    Started the game with him as a hybrid (because didn't read any information on mechanics), as I started to read more mechanics and had a friend teach me how to PvP as magicka he became more and more like a caster (staff, magicka skills etc.) and I have since then fallen in love with the idea of him being a Soul Magic caster.

    P.S ZOS if you're reading this, about that "make Nightblades in PvP more stealth attack based"; don't screw up my soul magic wizard. I'll buy some more Crowns soon, just don't ruin this for me. :wink:

    Btw, mNB is the only class I haven't tried yet (aside from Warden, but I'll wait in that until later).

    Probably my Imperial stam Templar tank. (I named her Ellen's Unbearable Lightness of Being but it was too long) 48k health and endless stam from repentance. At least under the Homestead meta few bosses could even touch her health.
