Just so you are aware crafting requires lots of skill point in the different trees, may bot be wise to sink lots of skill points into crafting when you need them for skills for trials etc. I have a separate designated crafting character for that reason.

There are enough skill points to craft and fight. It just may take a while to get them all.

Also the 'Meta' will change as it always does, every class is viable end-game, some just take more practice than others. Personally I would go with whichever class you most enjoy playing because at the end of the day it's a game that should be enjoyed

A couple points.

The trouble with fully embracing one class/spec is that the game is built on the shifting sands of nerfbalance. Your perfect choice for today is likely to disappoint at some point in the future. That is why many players run multiple class/specs. Not fun but better than rage quitting the game when your fave class gets nerfed.

My primary crafter is also a fighter. She has two weapons, all desired combat skills and all crafting skills fully developed - and is still sitting on +50 unused skill points. It isn't a matter of enough skillpoints but more a matter of the time required to get them. This character in question has been playing daily for about 3 years.

Honestly I really like my Stam sorc. Very good solo. Easiest class for vma. Good in trials dps. Solid in Vdsa. Very easy to learn and modify for needs using dw and now. It needs help for pvp but honestly it’s very easy to build and use.

If you want to make it your main, you are presumably going to use it for a while, so my first bit of advice would be to ignore the meta. The meta changes all the time - what's good, what's bad, what's OP, and what's broken. Choose a class and alliance (the two things you cannot reroll with a race change token) that are relatively future proof, or at least chosen with somewhat disregard for the meta.

In my instance, I chose Nightblade Khajiit, Aldmeri Dominion. AD is fine - it plays very little role at this point anyway, but for what it is I appreciate being in that alliance with my main. Nightblade has, and is somewhat defined by, its wide array of utility tools, as well as invisibility with Cloak, so at least those two things are unlikely to change drastically, even if they get nerfed or buffed.

You might very well choose a Dragonknight, for their wide variety of tanking skills, or Warden, for the nature theme. Whatever class it is, do NOT choose it based on the meta. The Necromancer, for example, WILL GET NERFED. Any class can do pretty much anything well, if not the best of everyone, no matter what changes, so you can always change your playstyle - but you can't change your class or alliance.

Trial ready builds can be found for any class (magicka builds are always a solid choice as they can attack from range and have a wide range of abilities to choose from, where stamina builds tend to be more locked in to their preferred weapon skills), but if you're looking to DPS, expect to continually adapt your build or remake it to adjust to the current meta, so it's a good idea to, once you pick your class, learn how that class works with a magicka DPS (or whatever build you decide). Google a bunch of youtube videos, look up Alcast, whatever it is, learn how the class works so you can work with it. This isn't really necessary for most things in-game, but for trials and vet trials, it's a good idea to know what you're doing.

As far as crafting goes, it's going to take a while. Load up on skyshards and quests that grant you skill points, always have the max number of researches going, and be prepared to farm or spend a lot of gold for crafting motifs and recipes. This typically takes months if not longer, so settle in for the long haul, work together with your friends who don't want to craft themselves, and maybe join a crafting guild or find an experienced crafter to help you get recipes and trait items for research.

All that said, it is possible. My main (the khajiit Nightblade) is a trials ready utility DPS grandmaster crafter. I've been playing the game for... years - but it's actually feasible to catch up to him in as little as six months without spending a single crown, I'd say. If you have any questions I'm more than happy to answer them.

Templars make great Magicka dps and have been the top healers since forever.

DKs are great Stam dps and have been the top tanks since forever.

Magsorcs have been a near top dps spec almost every patch.

I’d choose one of those personally. Meta may change but these classes have been very consistent.
