Altaholics - What are your class combos?

phaneub17_ESO · January 2018

Personally, I don't like repeating too many of the same combos or go for Cookie Cutter builds, I go with as creative as I can and try to be unique with each character with some variety. As a mostly casual player I primarily play to have fun not be competitive. It does create some weird combinations such as using One-Hand + Shield in the DPS role, one as Magicka and another with Stamina. I don't like Stamina Tanks, I don't know why, they just don't feel right. I have at least 1 of each race, and try to limit any weapon combos like Dual-Wield, Two-Handed, and Bow to at most 3 across the board.

Templar:
Imperial - Magicka. One-Hand + Shield, Tank / Dual-Wield Swords, DPS/Healing
Breton - Magicka. One-Hand + Shield, DPS / Resto Staff, Healer.
Bosmer - Stamina. Two-Handed Mace / Bow. DPS.

Sorcerer:
Altmer - Magicka. Lightning Staff, DPS / Resto Staff, Healer.
Khajiit - Stamina. Two-Handed Axe / Bow. DPS
Orc - Magicka. One-Hand + Shield, Tank / Lightning Staff, DPS

Dragon Knight:
Dunmer - Magicka. Fire Staff, DPS / Resto Staff, Healing
Redguard - Stamina. One-Hand + Shield, DPS / Dual-Wield Maces, DPS
Imperial - Magicka. One-Hand + Shield, Tank / Fire Staff, DPS

Nightblade:
Argonian - Magicka. One-Hand + Shield, Tank / Resto Staff, DPS/Healing
Breton - Magicka. Resto Staff, DPS / Resto Staff, Healing

Warden:
Khajiit - Stamina. Dual-Wield Daggers / Two-Handed Sword, DPS
Altmer - Magicka. Ice Staff, DPS / Resto Staff, Healing
Nord - Magicka. One-Hand + Shield, Tank / Ice Staff DPS/Tank

Only thing missing atm is a Stamina Nightblade who will be Bosmer Dual-Wield Axes and Bow.

nightblades:
breton - magicka, DW (axe/dagger) and destro (lightning)...dps...
redguard - stamina, 2H (axe) and bow...dps...

templars:
nord - magicka, destro (lightning) and resto...healer...
orc - stamina, 1H + shield and destro (lightning - got a little creative with that one

)...tank...

sorcerers:
altmer - magicka, destro (lightning) and 1H + shield (wearing 7 light seemed to make sense to carry a shield

)...dps...emergency healer...
bosmer - stamina, bow and 2H (sword)...dps...

dragonknights:
dunmer - magicka, DW (axe/dagger) and destro (fire)...dps - burn baby burn...
imperial - stamina, 1H + shield and bow...tank...

wardens:
argonian - magicka, 1H + shield and resto...healer, tank...
khajiit - stamina, DW (sword/sword) and bow...dps...

thankfully with all the different armor, class and weapon skills it's possible to keep things fairly fresh and non-repetitive...

I have ten toons. None of the dps wear repeated armor, the tanks both have ebon on but different secondary sets and both healers have SPC on but again different secondary sets. I consider those set bonuses to be too important to give up.

I like making class to highest potential...well for healers that is.

Warden - uses a Frost staff - Argonian (mending)
Sorc - uses three bars - bosmer (twlight remedy)

Nightblade - uses master artectect better then warden. ( Dark elf) ( master architect)

Dragon Knight - shields! Mirgrstion and higher warhorn up time...when set comes. ( Breton) ( jorduvin light)

Templar - it was a dare...(altmer...makes sense) ( anything...worm atm)

Tank

Nb tank - dodges attacks by teleporting and disappearing. (Redguard)

Shield tank - tried meta tanking but ended finding this and enjoyed ever since. ( Imperial and that red diamond passive to it's finest)

8th stamina healer or sorc tank... but must be khajit

I'm not that much of an altoholic, since I only have 5 characters that I play currently, with 5 others leveled as well, but not enough time to get enough skill points on them. I do however have multiple specs for each:

Stamina DK:
- PvE Trial Tank 1H+S: 1 Shadowrend 1 Chocklethorn 5 Ebon Armory 5 Torug's Pact, sometimes Lord Warden of Blood Spawn as monster set, and if the other tank already runs Ebon Armory, I'll run Akaviri Dragonguard instead for more warhorns.
- PvE Solo DD 2H: 5 Hunding's Rage, 5/4 Vicious Ophidian w Maelstrom bow 1 Velidreth
- PvE Group DD 2W: 5 Hunding's Rage 5 Sunderflame 2 Velidreth or 5 Morag Tong 2 Spawn of Mephala
- PvP DD 2H: 5 Bone Pirate Tatters 5/4 Hunding's Rage w Master's Bow back bar 1 Keana (I need Asylum 2H)

Magicka Sorcerer:
- PvE Solo DD: 5 Law of Julianos 5/4 Infallible Aether w Maelstrom lightning back bar 1 Kena
- PvE Group DD: 5 Law of Julianos 4/3 Infallible Aether w Maelstrom lightning back bar 2 Ilambris
- PvE Dungeon Tank 1H+S/Staff: 5 Willow's Path 5/3 Amberplasm w Maelsrom Ice staff back bar 2 Iceheart
- PvE Dungeon Healer: 5 Law of Julianos 5 Spellpower Cure Maelstrom resto/Maesltrom lightning
- PvP DD: 5/4 Spinner's Garment 4/5 Shroud of the Lich 2 Infernal Guardian

Stamina Nightblade can be:
- PvE Solo DD 2W: 5 Briarheart 5 Vicious Ophidian 2 Kra'gh
- PvE Group DD 2W: 5 Night Mother's Gaze 5 Vicious Ophidian 2 Kra'gh (I need a few pieces of War Machine to replace VO)
- PvE Dungeon Tank 1H+S: 5 Tava's Favor 5 Brands of Imperium 2 Swarm Mother
- Thief: 5 Night Mother's Embrace 3 Night Terror 2 Kra'gh random weapons
- PvP DD: 5/4 Viper's Sting 4/5 Eternal Hunt 2 Selene (may drop monster set and viper for Sheer Venom, Asylum 2H and Master Bow)

Magicka Templar:
- PvE Solo DD: 5 Law of Julianos 5/4 Infallible Aether w Maelstrom lightning backbar 1 Iceheart
- PvE Group DD: 5 Law of Julianos 4/3 Infallible Aether w Maelstrom lightning backbar 2 Valkyn Skoria or 2 Grothdarr
- PvE group Healer: 5 Spellpower Cure Master restoration/Malestrom Ligtning and either 5 Worm Cult or 5 Twilight Remedy (still working on getting Healing Mage, but the drop rate is very poor, got gold jewels and nothing else)
- PvP DD 2W/Staff: 5/4 Law of Julianos 5 Amberplasm 2 Valkyn Skoria

Stamina Warden:
- PvE Solo/Group DD: 5 Vicious Ophidian 5/3 Hunding's Rage w Maelstrom bow back bar 2 Selene
- PvE Tank - same gear as the DK for the time being
- PvP DD - same gear as the DK for the time being

FakeFox · January 2018

Nightblade
- Khajiit - PvE Stamina-DD (DW+Bow)

Have a Stam and Magic of every class.

Every one of my Stam DPS has VO/NMG/Monster/Maelstrom Bow. And various other collected sets to swap in.

Try to set the bars up similar so it’s not like re learning every nuance by changing toons.

Magic DPS has been all over the place. Mag DK has had BSW, Sun, IA, grothdar, Illambris, willpower....she’s much better now with Ebon/ Tourgs. It’s nice to have mages guild done for balance.

MagNB rocking Juli/Skoria/Willpower/Maelstrom Inferno/Lightning. Also have IA, BSW, Scathing

PetSorc and Warden are Meta/Same. I’ve tried winterborn and other ice setups to include Maelstrom and Masters Frost Staff on warden...it’s a bit slow play style, not much damage...tanks accuse me of stealing their aggro even with passives off.

Khajit StamBlade is my Main. He laughs at sets like Mechanical Acuity.

Cyrodil is the real endgame. You can try anything out there and things that are garbage in PvE work wonders in PvP. I’ve found hybrids to be even worse for me here though. Still better sticking to one thing and stack it.

My Orc Stam Warden can run a scroll so fast horses can’t keep up with me. It’s pretty ridiculous. Wish I could use that more often.

geonsocal · January 2018

howdy @kylewwefan ...i hear ya on trying to set their bars up in a similiar fashion...

my buffs, shields, heals and attacks are all setup in a similiar fashion...

ugh, even with doing that I'll still get confused at times

followed some warden on a scroll run from faregyl to rayles last night - man were they running fast and able to sustain well...

ninjaguyman · January 2018

3 magicka nb's that all run the same build in pvp(swapping gear between them is a pain however, so i tend to stay on one faction for a little while)
