Returning Player Needing Class/Role Advice

So it has been a while since I played ESO and I've recently got back into the game thanks to the 100k gold claim giveaway. The problem is I am certain so much has changed since I played last and now I'm confused. Because of this I'm turning to the forums here to ask for help with a few questions.

1. What is a good class & build for a tank these days?
2. I'm guessing a healing templar is the standard healer people want which I'm ok with because I had enjoyed playing a healing templar. What is a good build for one & what gear sets should I be aiming for?
3. For a magika ranged caster, what is a good class & build?
4. Is using a bow for dps viable & if so what class and build makes it good?
5. For a melee dps what's a good class & build?
6. A follow up to the first question is how does one make a sorc tank?
7. Is there a cap to how many champion points you can earn?

Some additional information I should give. This is all in regards to PvE not PvP because I didn't care too much for PvP when I did it. I am CP 182 so I do have champion points to spend so when I'm asking for "builds" that includes how I should be spending CP.

Thanks ahead of time for any advice you can give!

    1. What is a good class & build for a tank these days?
    DK tank, using ebon/torug+alkosh is currently meta.

    2. I'm guessing a healing templar is the standard healer people want which I'm ok with because I had enjoyed playing a healing templar. What is a good build for one & what gear sets should I be aiming for?
    Olorime, Jorvuld, IA, mending, worm, sanctuary, earthgore, bogdan.

    3. For a magika ranged caster, what is a good class & build?
    Magblade is on top atm, magsorc for group support.

    4. Is using a bow for dps viable & if so what class and build makes it good?
    Stamblade bow/bow just for fun, not recomented for endgame.

    5. For a melee dps what's a good class & build?
    Stamblade is on top, stamplar for group support.

    6. A follow up to the first question is how does one make a sorc tank?
    One of the worst class to tank i would say.

    13. Is there a cap to how many champion points you can earn?
    No cap but you can only use 780 cp, +30 every update.

    There are lots of builds on the internet so I will leave it to google.

    1. DK is still the "meta" tank, unlikely to change. Warden is second if you want to try something "different"
    2. Templar healer is still "meta" - warden is second
    3. Magicka DPS - NB > Sorc. Templar, DK, and Warden are all lagging behind by a long ways
    4. Stamina DPS - Stamblade. Everything else is FAR behind. Stam Warden is strong in PVP, but less so after recent nerfs

    For specific builds, I watch these forums, Alcast, and Xynode. Deltia's used to be a go-to, but hasn't been updated in a while...

    The thing I'm not understanding is this whole werewolf line showing up on nearly all the guides on Alcast. I understand it is a line that you buy with crowns but each of the guides have either a werewolf build or Psijic & Assault lines which I don't have (don't even know where you get the Assault line from). Another thing, am I understanding correctly that a Nightblade is top dps as both magika and stam builds? Is sorc just a bad dps build? Oh yeah and that Xynodegaming.com site is almost entirely all werewolf builds which means that I can't even use it since I don't have the werewolf line bought.

    Werewolf ask someone to bite you if they are nice they will do it for free. I can bite you if you are on pc Na

    Psijic is from summerset dlc
    Assault is from pvp

    Me thinks you have that one a tad confused mate. Now, some of the builds have been "updated" for the Wolfhunter DLC....but its not all werewolves. ;)
