    It's not. There's a right and a wrong way to play this game (and many games). Make a build and learn how to play or else there's no point.

    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

    It takes some people longer to find their groove. I say take all the time you need. You have 50 levels to do it in. Take your time and learn what stuff does and how the game works. Leveling doesn't prepare you for endgame anyway. Best to have as much knowledge about skills before you get there, and you can only do that by learning from experience.

    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.

    That's what you wish were true.

    I wish I'd gotten the same talk when I started playing because I would've been more goal-oriented from the start and maybe would've become better quicker.

    By my belief I am actively making the game a better place by informing people that there, most certainly is a right and a wrong way to play. I would love to have a population made up of focused and skilled players primarily.

    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..

    Taking Morphs presupposes you know what your build is going to be. Skill points are scarce pre L50 so for a new person to the game is much better to have tried all the skills than to be locked into a build early.

    Now, Alts, once you know what your doing with that class because you have tried all the skills, then you can morph earlier.

    You create, equip and skill your character to do whatever you are happy doing. I have spent most of my ESO time running solo, doing what I want, when I want and how I want. Nobody can say this is wrong, it is your game and you can do what you want.

    The only time it is an issue is if you want to start running with other people and/or do harder vet content (DLC dungeons, vet trials, etc). Then you have to look at 'specializing' your build and 'conforming' to other people ideas of what you should and shouldn't be doing.

    This is in part because you need to work with others and work well to achieve a common goal. The negative is that some people have very hard and fast rules about what they expect of you. You might be happy running around as an stamina Orc Healer, but you're not going to get many party invites.

    A group of well built characters who support and work well together is going to achieve a lot more than a group of random players using unsuitable gear and skills. The problem is that a lot of people will pre-judge your ability based on character creation rather than seeing what you can do.

    PVP is a whole other ball game. If you know what you are doing you can go in there and have fun on whatever build you want. If you don't know what you are doing you are headed for a life of misery and a lot of dying.

    Me, I reached VR16 and completed Cadwells silver and gold on a Nord Tank before the CP system came in. I had fun, did things my way and ran solo. Over 2 years later, I am running trials, trying to specialize some of my characters and seeing what I can accomplish. I call it my 'ESO evolution'.

    I still suck at PVP, and have never run vet Maelstrom Arena, but am still having fun.

    I didn't have a "Build" for a whole year at least. The majority of the game you can play relatively comfortably with whatever kind of gear you want. Actual Builds are for when you want to dabble into End Game content like Vet Dungeons and Trials.

    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    It depends what your goal is. Certainly don’t throw your character away, chances are no matter what race/class you’ve chosen you can respec into stam or mag into a competitive build or at worst purchase a race change token with the crowns you get if you sub. For example let’s say you’re not playing an orc magicka sorcerer. Well that’s not great and you’re missing out on some beneficial class passives to magicka but you can easily respec to a stamina build and then you’ve got a great race and class combo. I think most people end up trying at least a few classes, but there’s no reason to delete characters (although I did start a wood elf stamina Templar once and deleted that). But if you’re not looking to be a solo or 1vX PvPer or an end game progression PvEr then anything is fine though you will have an easier time with some continuity in class skills and resource choices. Just think about what you want to end up doing but you’ve still got a long way to go with champion points and everything else so there’s plenty of time to practice with this toon and create another when you figure some things out.

    So I'm pretty new to MMOs, and when I started playing ESO I had no idea what a "build" was, so I just kind of chose the abilities I thought were cool/would be good for my character (not for a specific purpose, such as PvP). 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

    1. Whatever your using at any time, IS your BUILD.

    2. level 21 is barely taking the first step, you got a LLOOOOONG grinding journey before you will see any content that will require a proper set up. In eso you need to grind all the way to 50, and then regrind 160 CP's THEN your at the minimum level, with summerset you will have some Dungeons that will then require you to be 300cp at least. Then you get to enjoy your life being sucked away in front of you as you try to slowly grind up the ever harder cp tree to that sweet 720 mark, only to have every update raise it by 30 more points, because they have to substitute content with endless chore/grind.

    Bonus 3. A pve build will do terrible in pvp and vice versa.

    Leveling you will likely have lots of skills that may or may not see regular usage post-50, partly to try things and partly on spec--you may want to have abilities (even whole weapon lines) pre-leveled in case your character's interests shift or to make you more adroit in responding to buffs and nerfs to specific skills. Even though none of my casters identify as healers, they all level resto staves, just so that they have choices. As for gear, if what you have is adequate for the things you want to do, you're golden. If your character feels weak, check what sets drop in what zone and farm chests or craft or buy items that belong to a crafted set. Even post 50 what gear is adequate depends on what you want to do and with whom you want to do it. Solo questing I haven't even assigned my last 120 or so CP earned. I likely will when Summerset drops, but for now making those choices has felt like an unnecessary chore.
  • central_scrutinizer
    I've never ever in the history of mmo's used anybody's "build". I've been a high-end raider since the concept existed. I make what I think I need out of what's available.
    It can absolutely help to build with a template, or even just to be steered towards future goals, and a lot of the time popular builds really are the most efficient.
    But also, they may be subjective, and you may find other situations in which something else is subjectively better.
    Some guilds might have rules, but as a general player, no you don't ever have to copy anybody.

    Its my opinion that trying stuff out for yourself will give you knowledge (tactical and otherwise) that no amount of streamers and guides can ever impart.

    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.

    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?

    A build is just the specific way your character is set up, so you do have a build, but it might not be an optimal or effective build. IMO you can basically play however you want at the beginning while you experiment and learn the game. Try to figure out for yourself what makes you stronger because I think it's fun and a good learning experience.

    Eventually you'll probably want to look at the community here for ways to become even more powerful that you haven't thought of. The great thing is, this game is very forgiving with decisions and almost everything can be respec'd or changed. There are two things to be aware of: 1) the class and alliance you chose are permanent choices (this effects both PVE and PVP), and 2) the race you chose is pseudo-permanent (you must pay real money to change it, so most don't do this often).

    My advice would be to look at the race you chose and try to pick abilities that align with your racial bonuses. If you are a stamina-based race, then use abilities/morphs that use stamina. If you are a magicka-based race, then use abilities/morphs that use magicka. You can certainly choose to ignore this advice (especially if you just like questing and storyline), but more difficult content is going to be tricky if you mismatch race and abilities.
    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?

    Oh absolutely! A lot of stuff can be swapped out on the fly, for example, you can make a few gear changes to a character to go from PVE to PVP setup. Most people specialize as one thing, but then have other areas that they're also proficient in (i.e. a lot of magicka DPS characters will also have an off-healer setup for fun).

    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.

    :still thinking:

    I....

    :thinking:

    am dumbfounded.... You really need some real human interaction. Like ASAP.

    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.

    Your name scares me. Khaled is one of the silliest celebrities to ever live

    #cringe

    Alrighty then...not really sure where you are going with that but im sure it makes sense to you. Anyways...

    @TiredKhajiit You can play any way you want too. A "build" only needs to be viable to you and no one else. If you dont like it later and want to change it you can. You can reassign attributes, skills, and champion points for a fee as many times as you want.

    In fact i recommend against following someone elses build. They are fine for a general direction but its best to learn the how and why rather than to imitate( which is what passes for "elite gaming" nowadays). Most builds you find such as Alcasts are set up for a very specific function to work in a specific group to complete a specific task. They also are setup for that player so the build is built to suit that persons playstyle.

    It is far better to learn to build characters to suit your playstyle than to learn to imitate someone else. It is also more fun. Part of the game is building your character. Its kind of like watching videos and researching everything before you do it. Its more fun if you try to do it on your own.

    Maybe thats why the elitist dont have any challenging content. One person does it, and they all watch videos and lemming their way through it. Regardless, there is no wrong way to play. Play how you want. You can change things later and basically rebuild your character over and over without actually deleting it and starting over. About the only thing you cant do is change race and class( and you might be able to do those for crowns.) The important part is you have fun and enjoy how you play, however that may be just like in a single player game. And if you like to use cheats codes, well using someone elses builds and watching videos and doing research where someone provides you all the answers is pretty much cheat code central for an MMO.

    I'll be sure to consult with you whenever I have to 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.

    It's not my responsibility or priority if they "care".

    I'll let you in on a big secret of life. If you don't like something, ignore it. done.

    You're free to ignore any posts you find non-constructive.

    There's no "just for fun" type mentality if you're discussing this game with me.

    Yeah, how stupid that people might play this game 'just for fun'!
