Can't decide if I should go for a stamblade or magblade in DC (PvE)

Adventurer · February 2018

I'd like to play as a Breton, but right now I'd prefer to try out bows and daggers/swords bows as I've played as a magplar, so I don't really want to use staves with my nightblade.

Is a Breton stamblade viable? Would I use lose out on too much DPS/survivability etc over a Redguard or an Orc?

I don't play on doing PVP, becasue I have low FPS, so it's for the story and perhaps soloing dungeons. But mostly the story.

Viable? Yes.

Optimal? No.

But for questing, you don't need an optimal build. So I say go for it.

Go stamblade if you like to try bows and probably get that weapon fully leveled and then you can always respec to magblade later on

Go whatever you want. Be Breton and use bow and Daggers. If you want to be stamina then be stamina. This game is built for this sort of thing

As someone who has ALWAYS played Breton's in Elderscrolls games I would suggest something else. The Breton passives just aren't that exciting for ESO. I have a Breton Mageblade and I'm seriously considering a race change for him.

Probably to Argonian. The PVE content doesn't really require you to worry about your race but if you venture out into PvP you'll be wanting an Argonian/Altmer/Dunmer as a magblade or a Bosmer /Kajiit/Redguard for Stam. It's a real shame the Breton race is really lack luster in ESO.
