DecoraSoul ShrivenTemplarI went with Templar and I'm going to focus on healing skills. People always need healers for groups!9 -

Brozgar✭NightbladeI've started as a Redguard (for RP reasons) Sorcerer, switching between dual-weild daggers and a staff. However, magic combat felt so boring that I just couldn't resist and switched to a Nord Nightblade, switching between bow and dual-weild axes/swords. Combat feels much better, but I don't like it that much RP wise... I wish there would be spell-weaving for mages, like in Age of Conan - it was epic! Basically it prevents you from moving while you charge your powers over time and start to be really painful for others (although invulnerable if somebody gets behind).
Both of my choices are not 100% strict to the benefits (especially the Redguard mage), but I really hope that in this MMO it really will be possible to make a decent character in both PvE and PVP without any (or close to none) limits of how you develop it. So that while sacrificing stats I could get benefits in tactics. And most of all combat should be fun. I'd probably prefer to die more, but have more fun, than farm kills with boring 2-button tactics.Edited by Brozgar on March 31, 2014 6:42AM0 -
Kroin✭✭Templari picked a Templar, i want a sun mage till now it works pretty well. the ult will come from the mage guild.0

Anzer✭✭✭NightbladeImperial Nightblade Tank. Because it's way more fun than Templar Tank.NA Server:
Anzer - Nightblade Tank / Zander - Dragonknight Tank / Selvaria - Sorcerer Healer / Rozalin Black - Templar Healer4 -
DimzSoul ShrivenSorcererSorcerer with Destruction staff, although I will start raising healing staff as well at some point. I'm still lvl 6 so trying to get basics set up first.Edited by Dimz on March 31, 2014 7:51AM0 -
Syntse✭✭✭✭✭DragonknightDragonknight shield & sword. Hopefully manage to make it ok as tank and not getting ass kicked if soloing in PvE.Syntse Dominion Khajiit Dragonknight Stamina Tank [50]

✭NightbladeI dont know what i will play yet , so hard to pick a class ...
I picked nightblade because in the other TES i always played a rogue/assassin.
Still , in this one i still cant decide."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

NightbladeI have gone for Bosmer Nightblade (siphoning) and Bow. I'm having alot of fun, there's a fair bit of synergy between the skill lines, and its easy on the soloing.2 -
Caph✭✭✭NightbladePlayed Khajiit Nightblade in the beta and loved it enough to create and exact copy of the previous character (small facial style changes but meh). Dual wielding, love it!
Lost interest in the game and canceled subscription. Maybe I'll come back if I gain interest again.

TemplarTemplar , Sword & shield (aedric spears and healing ) but im sure that i will reset the skill points in order to make a powerfull PG .. but only when i'll understand all the mechanicals of the game0 -

✭✭NightbladeWas a very tough choice between Templar and Nightblade, but I gave in to the dark side and made a NB. Love the shadow and siphoning trees.0 -
OmnichronSoul ShrivenI've started with three (NB, DK, Templar) of the classes already with more standard roles for each, and not sure what I am going to stick with.
I want to try something slightly different though, maybe a Nightblade Tank (heavy armor with 1h-shield), which might use two-handed sword for solo PvE or something.
Like some of the other MMOs I joined, I feel so unsure about what builds I should try out. Luckily you can reset skills if your initial idea doesn't work...0 -
Ariane✭✭✭SorcererSorcerer. I tried all four classes in the beta, but every time I picked a character who was not a sorcerer, I missed it. I missed it A LOT. That was the clue I needed "I am not an Argonian. I am a crocodile"0 -
weedkingxSoul ShrivenNightbladeI started as a nightblade because i played a rogue in WoW and did very well with it, achieving high pvp arena rating and pretty much mastered everything the class had to offer.... I thought maybe the similarities could help me get ahead of other ppl in pvp. Also, they look badass rofl.1
-
DragonknightThe poll is surprisingly even. Rolled Imperial DK tank. Fits my style and DK was the more interesting option from the bunch. Most players with sword and board have been more or less DK's what i've seen.1

TemplarTemplar with restoration staff - going for a double healer.

Dumbledalf✭✭✭NightbladeNightblade khajit. I played Templar in the beta and loved it told myself I would make 1 as my main. Made all 4 classes to have a better chance at securing a decent name. The last character I made (nightblade) looked so badass I decided to try it first and never looked back.1 -
DeathTrap✭✭TemplarI've got one of each at the moment, but mainly trying to decide between Templar tank and Dragon Knight tank.Cake is a lie. Pie is truth. Cookies are uncertainty. Muffins are the minions of a false God.0

MimikSoul ShrivenTemplarI went with Templar, like the Paladin of older games, it looks really fun, and healing in PvP is always underrated.
I am not surprised the Nightblade is #1, I mean they look the coolest, and just appear to crush everything.The Carolina Mountain Boys1 -
dread67Soul ShrivenNightbladeI went night blade archer. It's what I always play in an elder scroll game.0 -
Inversus✭✭✭✭✭SorcererI think this is probably a reasonable sample of classes in the game. Dragonknight and Sorcerer are reasonably popular, I have seen a lot of polls showing nightblade being popular, like this and templar is usually the less used class - though in this poll it's pretty much as popular as Sorc/DK.VR14 EH Sorc

Mercurio75Soul ShrivenDragonknightDragonknight - I like beeing a tank and soak up a lot of damage for my group. So I go for 1H-Shield all the way up0
