    PvE...Healer.

    PvP...no specific role, I just do whatever I deem is the best course of action (wether its healing or dps'ing) in a given situation.

    TBH, in Cyrodiil, I'm just spamming Healing Springs, Mutagen, Purge and some shield for siege weapons. Sorry, you don't get good PVP advices from me, as I'm really a PVE healer who enjoy to do something else sometimes.

    Despite queuing as a DPS, I usually end up being a Healer/Tank/DPS because fakes are too prominent in the group finder and god forbid I get a group where I'm not doing +50% of the group's damage.

    I like tanking... but i mainly fill dps roles because i can deal with bad pugs easier as a dps.

    good tank + 2 terrible dps = pulling teeth

    bad tank + at least 1 good dps = still doable dungeon

    I swear this is the reason I started playing DD in pve.

    Not only this but I also get insults from those crappy DDs because I am supposed to taunt all the 20+ ads that they failed to kill in 90+ seconds...

    For some time I've not had a "main role". I can cover all of them in multiple iterations at various content difficulty levels. Talking solely about veteran trials:

    Stamina DK: Tank or melee DD
    Magicka Sorcerer: ranged DD
    Stamina NB: melee DD
    Magicka Templar: Healer or ranged DD
    Stamina Warden: Tank or melee DD

    At dungeon level the Sorcerer has a Healer and a Tank build and the NB also a Tank one but none would perform optimally for trials.

    I think part of the problem with tanks is that trying to level as a tank is pretty much impossible you clear trash so slowly that you can't just quest to level up a character. I had to resort to taunting as many mobs as possible pulling together and dropping my ultimate and waiting for them to slowly die to AoE. I know tank players can make a dps and then switch them into a tank or just hard grind dolemns or something. But who would main tank if you can't enjoy other parts of the game as a tank?

    A healer can just be a dps then switch into a healer for dungeons without major changes to their set up its all gear and skill bars.

    Also part of what daunts me from playing my tank even in dungeons is you kind of have to actually learn the mechanics not just settle into a rotation and roll dodge the red sometimes. You have to know what red you have to block and what red you can just take (shield or let your healer heal you though), you have to watch the skill wind ups to know which ones you can interrupt. Its only getting worse with the block cost reduction nerfs.

    You spec as DD and slot the 1H+S skills on your bar to train the skill line and the respective skills. Every time I see people struggling to kill mobs on dolmens by hitting them for 5% HP with puncture and light attacks I cannot help it and laugh :)

    This is exactly why I switched to DPS tank. It's more challenging in vet stuff but god damn some of those DDs are slow.
