Best tip for making a character for YOU: Envision what YOU want too do, make that. And start with that and do what YOU want too do.
All of this - Follow this guide, do this, do that. Will all be part in why you dont 'connect' with you're character. As you are not playing YOUR character, you're following a guide.
I started with a clear vision; A High Elf mage. So, High Elf Sorcerer it was. Now I'm a meta chasing, number crunching, dummy humping elitist. But all within the role of an arrogant high elf mage. indeed.
Well I did 2 more threads like this in the past since I constantly leave the game and then come back when I am bored,but I don't want that to happen again,I want to bond with the character I will create.
So coming to the "need advice" part:
I want to create full damage based solo-play character and I heard about the race changes,the race should be compatible with my class.
I like high elves but I can be anything if that makes my character even more powerful.
I prefer stamina builds over magicka and I generally hate tanks and supportive roles.
I played nightblade for a long time and that kind of play bores me,for now I am thinking StamDK or something in those lines
PS:My character is most likely going to be a vampire.
This community is not helping at all.Some of you misunderstood my statement when I said solo-play I want to be the best of the best and destroy people in pvp so "follow your gut" does not apply here.
if you wanna be 'best of the best' that's not gonna happen, everyone dies in PVP. We can tell you a million great builds but player skill comes into play more often than not. Practice makes perfect, as they say and that is never more true than right now.
No matter how good a player is though, one must expect to die regardless, either from a better player, bad luck, lag, or just your own human error.
Being better than %80 players will do just fine,in my time magsorcs were gods now I'm asking which class is simply better at dps thats all and it is not a hard question to answer but this community turned out to be trolls.
The answer I wanted,the others can go to hell.
