So let's face it, I'm actually an RPG player and I've been in it for the stories, not the leveling or anything like that. So therefore I haven't really ever been very mindful about character building. And I never could get used to the MMO lingo. All the damn abbreviations. "PVE" this, and "DPS" that. So every time I've actually sat down to try and learn, I've just gotten sick of it straight away. So I've ended up going with my gut. I've done the same with my Champion level 37 character so far. But then I reached champion level, and I had to start doing champion points. Something I really don't understand right now. And I haven't used any of the points I've earned so far because I want to do it right. Then again, my whole character build is probably off. Like I said, I went with my gut.
So please, ESO community, could you advise me in how to fix my character and especially how to proceed with these champion points? Should I be using my character differently?
Here are my specifications:
Race: Altmer (High Elf)
Class: Sorcerer
Role: Damage. But still using restoration staff.
Attributes
- Magicka: 49
- Health: 13
- Stamina: 2
Boon: The Mage
Skills (That I use)
- Dark Magic: 45 (Crystal Blast IV)
- Daedric Summoning: 50 (Greater Storm Atronach IV, Summon Unstable Clannfear IV and when facing difficult opponents also summon Twilight Matriarch IV)
- Storm Calling: 50 (Mages' Wrath IV, Power Surge IV and since recently trying out Liquid Lightning I)
- Restoration Staff: 47 (rarely use any of these abilities since they suck, the staff in itself is awesome)
- Mages Guild: 5 (waiting to unlock Fire Rune)
I've unlocked and maxed all racial skills, as well as the light armor skills.
So i've read a little and people generally seem to prefer destruction to restoration but I don't understand why. The restoration staff is basically recycling my magicka and health during the battle. If I didn't have that I'd be f*cked when I run out. So could someone explain to me why I should switch to destruction? And if not, is there a better way to use the restoration staff and it's seemingly useless active abilities?
And have I missed any other good active abilities that you would recommend?
I have both a skill and attribute re-specification that I've saved for this.
But most importantly and to my main question, where should I put my champion points? Do I have a limited amount that I have to choose wisely? And why do I receive as many points within the green spectrum as within blue and red (which I'd say I would focus on). Are there any bad choices to waste points on? Or do I need to upgrade them all equally? What would you recommend?
