Reguardless of my role, I consider myself a support build. I try to assist my group any way possible.

All but mostly blade till yesterday, now running a healing lizard....... Great fun even though he started from zero ;0)
May well become no 1 choice

Other: all. One role will get boring after a while, doesn't matter what role you prefer.

Exactly. Even my DPS's play differently, some are DoT, some are Instant, some are Ranged, some are up in your face style. Of course the first couple of fights are always interesting as I remember how to play each one.

I don't think anyone only plays one role on all characters. For this reason, I sentence this poll to 10 years in Uncle Sheo's playpen.

In most games I have tons of alts. But in ESO for some reason I have no interest in playing alts; I just don't like any of the classes so I found the one I dislike the least (dk) and play that.
No reason for alts though, any stam char can be a tank and any magika char can be a healer. My stamdk carries heavy armor + s/b and can tank just fine if it is needed.

Ermh, so you don't have any alts and only ever played one class but you are certain that there's no reason what-so-ever to make an alt for anyone else playing this game, like, ever?

Practice your reading comprehension. It will help prevent you from being confused all the time (there's a lot of words on forums). Any one character can do all three roles so you don't necessarily have to make alts to prevent from being "frustrated," as the person I was responding to was saying.

I only play the same tiny magical wood elf since 2007 (Oblivion, Skyrim, ESO). She won't touch heavy armor or melee weaponry. Beyond that she is pretty flexible though. She can actually, with a flick of my fingers over the keyboard, manifest as a bow/bow stamsorc, dual pet magsorc or, most often in her primary and most natural form as a healplar. Her looks, mount, pet are identical and her name is only slightly different in each form ('Buffy' is always the main part of her name). She views changing among the three forms as no bigger deal than changing her hairstyle - which she does quite often.

Now more strictly on topic, as a healplar she is a fine group healer - good enough to comfortably offer her services in that role. As a bow/bow stamsorc, she is not comfortable enough with her dps to group. As a magsorc she is quite powerful but somewhat specialized as a solo WB killer - she packs her own healer (matriarch) and tank (clannfear) and her team & tactics are not designed to support a group.

Mainly a DPS cuz I like killing stuff. And now, there's always a need for a ranged dps.
I have tanked and healed before tho. Doing those roles made me appreciate them even more, and how being a dumb dps is a serious strain on both tanks and healers.
