Went with Nightblade since I've always liked rogue-type classes. But NB is so much more, as I'm happy to find out. Unfortunately, my current setup is not so useful to groups. Everyone and their uncle is a DPS, and most are probably more dedicated than I am.

Def a sorcerer for me for ranged. But of course, if you feel like you want to play a melee character, you can always try out battlemage which is super fun.

Templar assassin here, they have awesome synergy with a bow and 2h from the class skills you mix in for keeping people away and opening up with massive dmg and then the ability to cleanse all negative effects from yourself and heal up for some hard hitting 2H combos. Could go into more detail but there is a post about the build on tamriel foundry's Templar section.

I tried NB for the same role in beta but when I learned any class can stealth just as effectively without having the 2.5 sec invis it got me experimenting with which class can do it best, for my play style that is. Solo ganking etc. and a khajiit Templar just felt far more reliable and capable of getting a quick kill in while still being able to take on another after the 1st person dies if necessary

Nice to see a decent balance...I really liked playing a templar in the beta. I'm currently playing a dual wielding, heavy armor wearing templar and it's pretty fun as far as pve goes. Hit em with a long range magic attack and devastate them with a flurry attack and that's taken most mobs down while I barely take any damage. Dunno how well I'll fare in pvp, but so far I'm really liking this build.

I rolled a Nightblade cause I wanted a healer.

Sorcerer

I actually have two characters - one I play with my partner (a dragon knight), and one I am planning to play solo (the nightblade).

i got a wood elf templar with bow, hopefully i can lvl up resto staff also. i was focusing on med armor but i want to lvl up light as well.

Restoration staff/Destruction staff Siphoning vampiric khajiit Nightblade for main (wanted a blood mage), Ill likely go for dragon disciple style dragonknight or an all out berserker (dual wield) dragon knight orc next

Started as Dragon Knight, Nord. Two Handed weapon skill line. Looking to go as an offensive tank, still working out the details.

Bit of an Alt-aholic so more toons coming soon!

Nightblade dualwield with siphonline

I chose NB. It's a fun class. Went assassin tree with one in siphon and one in shadows. I also spec'd in dual blade. That way i work both Magicka and Stamina, instead of all one. It works. Without siphon i would die to quickly. I wish i didn't choose the ultimate I did, but it's cost too much to respec (hint hint). I play a rogue in Guild Wars 2 and love the class. ESO is so much more intuitive and requires so much thinking as to how to proceed.

Personally, I would suggest allowing respec for free in lower levels (below 10) to allow for playing around and getting a handle on what is and is not. It would keep ones interested and invite new ones without having to create a new character.

Dragonknight baby, shield and one handed with a splash of magic.

Nightblade Shadow Mage. Resto-staff with mostly light armor, some medium and at least 1 heavy for leveling purposes. Blows things up fast.

Dualwielding Nightblade, quick kills and lots of fun. With heavy armor you can even fight against multiple targets. I wanted to try sorcerer but nightblade is even more fun at the moment. i guess my alt will be a sorcerer
