    All classes are still fun to play in PvE for me. I don't chase the meta though.

    The one you have most fun with. It's the only answer that should ever matter.

    If most fun for you is most efficient then you'll need all of them in magicka and stamina leveled ready for each balance pass. Currently I hear good things about Stamina Wardens.

    Higher parse on PTS for a mag char from Liko was magplar. Rotation seems simpler than magblade too. It all depends on what you enjoy. If you prefer to chase the meta, roll a magplar. It could also change the routine and make you discover a new class. Although grinding skill points, undaunted, mages guild and all that with another character again gives me nausea...

    they all are. Let's get real here, they all bring something to the table in a vast majority of content.

    By vast, I mean 99% of the content.

    These kind of threads are a bit dramatic.
    Drathus Delenu- Dunmer magDk: Shehai Shatterer, Mageslayer, Stormproof, Peak Scaler, Clockwork Confounder, Orderly, Master Wizard, Cloudrest Hero, Undaunted, Dragonstar Arena Champion
    Thoronir Rolston- Breton petsorc: Stormproof
    Zaakazha-Redguard stamblade: Boethia's Scythe, Clockwork Confounder, Maelstrom Arena Champion, Dragonstar Arena Champion

    Scrubs:
    Justinius Maximus Decimus- Altmer magblade
    Agronak gro'Mashul- Orc DK Tank
    Valerya Hawkcroft- Breton healer
    Zaaka- Imperial stamDK/crafter

    I dunno, DK is really tedious to play. Tough but does no damage at all. My main is a DK and as such is my favourite character but even at CP whatevs she's the one I'm most likely to avoid engaging in combat because it's just excruciating.

    I play 4/5 classes pretty regularly, with the exception being Sorcerer (never could get into the class). In terms of which class came out on top can be fairly subjective. Templars and Dragonknights are by far my favorite classes within the game; both had some good things and bad things brought in with this new patch.

    Templars seem to be the class that had the most positive changes in Update 20; particularly with Magplar and Tanks. The changes have done a pretty good job to help make Magplar up to the speed DPS wise.

    Although Magplar was changed for the better, the shield change affects them as well, but having a dedicated healing skill line helps soften the impact of the change as well as being able to bring some utility to the group as well.

    Back from a much needed break. || I like having too many projects and working on them all at once.

    I'm still playing my Magsorc. He's my main and I've put too much time into him to stop playing him. I'll adapt to the shield nerf just like I did when they lowered the magicka regen from 25% to 15% and at the same time they also got rid of reduced spell cost. All 10 of my characters are magicka and I don't want to play stamina builds so it's either I adapt or quit and I don't want to quit.

    Because jumping ship from one Meta to the next is exactly why massive nerfs keep happening. Keep on working that Meta treadwheel gerbils.

    Maybe they don't want to "chase the meta," maybe they just like having powerful, strong characters because taking five years to kill a skeever isn't any fun.*


    *Massive exaggeration to make a point. No, it doesn't take me five years to kill a skeever, although I guarantee there will be someone on this forum that will immediately jump to that conclusion because they don't understand the whole "exaggerating to make a point" thing.

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.
