So in your opinion should you have a build from day 1, or only after level 50? I'm interested in seeing how everyone plays the game differently.
You don't necessarily need it on (literally) day 1. If it's the first day you're playing the game, it's probably not an issue because you're still learning the game. I'd say maybe the first 3 days of playing the game it's fine to just play aimlessly without any build or knowledge of the game. After that 3 day grace period, though, that's about it. It's now time to find out what you will be doing in the game, acquire the necessary components for a basic build, and continue your practicing to become better at the game. If you're doing PVE and you'll be a DPS, you need to learn and practice a rotation. If you'll be a tank or healer, you need to acquire the proper sets and learn how those roles are played in this game (there are many guides out there for this).
This is not a single player ES game, nor does it play like one. The combat system here requires more skill to pull off and the system has greater depth. Playing the game incorrectly is highly insulting to myself and other players, so that is why it is pivotal that people learn to play the right way early on.
3 days grace period? Harsh bro.

I think 3 days is about right. After that it's time to kick things into gear

You are what's wrong with gaming today.
Games are not jobs. They are supposed to be fun. Now, had you said there are more effective ways and ineffective ways to play certain content, I would agree. But come on man, people like you are probably the ones so dedicated to running an imaginary guild in a digital world that you don't know what a real 40 hour a week job, mortgage payments, bills, or living on your own actually is in the real world. You likely have more experience in bartering for pretend shields and helmets in an elven land than you do on how interest rates work on a credit card. Oh I'm sorry is this harsh? Because that's what comments like this do to new players who are just trying to learn to be effective while having fun. Then someone like you comes in and blows them out of the water with an arrogant answer because to you, if you aren't on some elitist level you're not "playing right and theres no point". Go into the real world with that sort of elitist attitude and I'm willing to bet you get smacked in the jaw before sundown.
Someone mentioned not to use Morphs i don't agree go ahead and morph your skills to what you want to try and see how it goes. I cant see any reason to wait to 50 to morph your skills and you can redo them at any time for a bit of gold at the Re Spec Shrine.Best of luck to you..

My main character is currently a level 21, and I'm a decent way through the MQ and my faction's quest. My question is: is it a good to have a character without a build, or should I get rid of my current main character and create one with a more specific purpose?
Bonus question: When having a build for a specific purpose, such as PvP, would you only use it for that purpose, or is that just the main thing you use it for? The reason I ask is because there is a limited amount of character slots, and I would like to plan out how to use them :P
Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is a tad confusing :P
You have a build. Your build. It fits your purpose. Why should that not work? If it is hybrid-y, so what?
Take your time levelling. Learn as much as you can. Once you're level 50, and have a decent amount of skillpoints (like, 150 or so. Honestly, get skyshard farming asap) and a bit of clue on how things work (you have been reading up stuff or asking questions, right?), go to the respec shrines and change your char over to a dedicated role build.

How do you know the level of interaction I normally partake in? Are you my stalker?
Thanks for the creepiest post I've ever seen on this forum and one of the creepiest I've ever seen on the internet. I'm now creeped out by you.
Do me a big favor and never respond to my posts again. Kindly. Thank you

Wow, i cant tell if you are serious or just baiting people. You cant be serious. Ive read your post in this thread. You MUST be baiting. I actually hope you are baiting people because if you are actually being serious with all the comments you made in this thread...well that is kind of really scary...though it would probably make for a great case study.

This is sane advice. I found that grabbing some treasure maps and then heading for the skyshard locations nearby is a good way to get a varied and challenging increase in skill points and kit. There's an add-on that will put the sky shards on your map.

I'll be sure to consult with you whenever I make a decision about how to play this game. Wouldn't want to play the wrong way, after all! /s
Protip: Your idea of the "right" way and the "wrong" way to play the game is literally only important to you. You can try and convince people of the merits of your play style, but demanding adherence to your play style because otherwise you'll be insulted? Good luck finding people who care what you think.
