What type of build is best for Solo/Duo play?
My wife is going to play a Magicka Sorcerer. I haven't decided on what I am going to do yet.
Is Tank, Stam, or Mag better for soloing/Duo?
Thank you, guys and gals.

WoppaBoem✭✭✭✭✭Make it a Tank/Damage dealer based on stamina and work on some heals like Vigor.
I would make a stamina warden with Board and Sword to be able to use taunt and 2H back bar for Rally.Xbox EU & NA - PVP Only2 -
dtsharples✭✭✭✭✭Would it be for doing group dungeons? Or for mostly Duo-ing overland content?
For tank You'll want at least a taunt, from the Sword + Shield skill-line to do the tanking role and keep the enemy in place whilst you both attack.
You might want to stack a little more into health + resistances than your wife, but not necessarily as a 'Full' tank, but a tanky Damage dealer maybe.
Outside of dungeons / trials a tank isn't really necessary. And even in dungeons, you can often go to more of a DPS role.
Essentially you can play any class for that role, each offers something unique.
IMO Ideally you'll both want an AOE, a DOT an Execute ability, and either a shield / self heal.
That way you should be able to perform well in overland or group content.

Vuron✭✭✭✭✭Just my opinion, but it's rather pointless to have a tank for overland, delves, public dungeons and world bosses.
Just stick with a DD with some self heal or a healer with some damage.
Tbh, you could play whatever you wanted and be fine.2 -

We won't be focusing hardcore on dungeons, but we will do them when we get a chance. I have no problem being a Support role. But I also want to be able to solo effectively, including 2 manning dungeons for fun (if possible).
Should I wear heavy armor and make a Stamina build then?0 -
BNOC✭✭✭✭✭I'd go Magicka Templar, the self management has always been so easy (though other classes have caught up).
Your sweeps will keep you alive and you have a pretty big aoe arsenal.
You'll also be able to help your missus with ritual and an occasional burst-heal if she needs it.Edited by BNOC on February 5, 2019 5:26PMvMSA - Magplar - Xbox EU - 15/11/16

✭✭if you're just going to do the overland content and story stuff, you can run anything. The game is extremely easy by design that anyone can get by; even the more challenging stuff like world bosses the intention is to have 10+ gather to fight them and overwhelm with sheer numbers
as for dungeons, that's where you'll need to start thinking about your role and your build.skingrad when zoscharacters:PC/NA but live in EU 150+ ping lyfe- EP - M - Strikes-with-Arcane - Argonian Stamina Sorc - lvl 50 - The Flawless Conqueror/Spirit Slayer

I would go with healer build that is focused on damage and group buffing. You might be able to get by with a single heal ability on either bar and than just run the rest DPS with buffing/debuffing as well.0 -

If you go around together I would suggest balancing health and stam and really focus in on stam and weapon dagame but get aroun 20/25K health. You will be able to take the incoming damage but also deal massive damage with like sub terrean assualt if you are a warden. As you are asking for non standard build to duo you can and make a hybrid investing some in health try to get the best resitainces possible while wearing medium armor and have fun.Xbox EU & NA - PVP Only0 -
Sporigudinai✭✭✭YOu can make a Stam Tank, a Mag Tank, whatever you want.
A stamina Tank like they told you means that would be a DPS tankier, like a guy more tought but with damage tooPC-NA0 -
JeibuKul✭✭My wife plays a stamsorc and magblade. I usually accompany her with a semi tanky magplar or a stamden with the heal slotted. We have been able to duo clear a lot of stuff even some of the easier dungeons, just the two of us.Streaming on https://www.twitch.tv/jeibukul1
