    Dunmer is the best choice for a lot of builds. In some situations they are not meta, but they are never bad.

    Dark Elf warden.

    Dark elves have good weapon/spell damage bonuses and the warden toolkit is actually pretty good at all three roles.

    I think the "easily" part is going to be a lot of personal preference. Personally I'm most comfortable with the Templar tool set, but that's because I've been maining a Templar for two years. It's also going to matter what kind of content we're talking about -- not just PvE vs. PvP, but even 4-man dungeons vs. 12-man trials for example.

    Right now in fact, my Stamplar is setup to perform all three roles without switching attributes, CP, or skill morphs. Since I'm on PC, I utilize an addon to quickly switch my gear and skills around to suit. My food and potion choice also changes with the switch in roles.

    In my mind, race is less important than class when it comes to multi-role. Perhaps there is something I'm not thinking of, however. My multi-role character is an Imperial, and I find that race's across-the-board sustain from Red Diamond is useful in any role.

    Warden is good for all roles, main issue here is tanking.
    Khajiit and Dunmer are nice hybrid races and this is nice as you want stamina dps with warden but you want good magic as an healer. However class is more important than race here
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Goong out on a limb here...any race can do virtually anything unless you're competing for absolute top positions in certain dungeons. It's all about getting to know your toon and developing it.

    With potions and cp allocations, along with mag/stam/health, a person can compensate and adapt to most challenges.

    That said, most of my toons are Nord. :p

    All classes can do all roles good enough to do all content in the game. Race only matters if you are score pushing too. Play what you like.

    Top pics for all three roles are probably Warden and Necro, followed by Sorc and Templar (though tanking can be a bit tricky for a Templar). DK healers are niche, as are Nightblade Tanks, though both are viable.

    For any role, I'd actually suggest Breton or Nord. The cost discounts for Bretons are very beneficial for mag spec, and the spell resist is always a nice boon. Stam Bretons are a bit of a novelty, but it won't hurt. Nord's extra ult gain may be pretty trivial on non-Tanks, but it's always a nice perk. If you have them, it's hard to go wrong with an Imperial.

    If you're not playing competitively then you can do anything on any race. Tbh I'd suggest either an Imperial or High Elf Dragonknight. Though I'm not sure their situation in PvP right now. If you're really about PvP I might lean a little more towards a Warden.

    Dragonknight is the most versatile and easy to play tank and is even widely used in competitive PvE play. It's also a great magic damage dealer and a decent stamina damage dealer. It's a niche healer but again, if you're looking for role versatility, you can do just about everything on a DK healer that you need to minus specific buffs/debuffs like Potl and Ritual.

    Imperial would be nice because of the max health and stamina passives for tanking as well as the 3% cost reduction and resource return which would affect any role you chose.

    High Elf would be a usable tank and be very good on a healer. It would also be the best DPS option because of it's passives.

    Warden for sure on Class, High Elf or maybe Imperial or Dunmer for race seems to be the best bet.

    Warden and Sorcerer are the best for versatility imho.
    Idc about race, verything can work, but I guess Dumner/Khajiit are the more versatile.

    Dunmer and Khajiit have the most balanced stats for any role, along with Argonians. But when you step away from focusing on attributes, you do have more useful options.

    That's, kinda, the point here.

    The base attribute bumps are nice, but other elements of a race can be more useful for making a painless switch between roles. Ex: The Imperial always has a cost discount, and will always have a self heal on direct damage. That's useful to anyone. That it only has increased max health (useful to anyone) and max stam (useful to stam and tanks, though helpful for anyone), and you might see what I'm getting at.

    The Nord's ult gen will always be useful. The health and stam are kinda helpful. The resists won't hurt. Again, across the board, this one's actually useful.

    You won't be saying, "this is the new meta," on a Nord healer, but the character will still work, and they will still benefit from most of their passives.

    Ironically, I'd actually say this is less true of the Khajiit (crit won't help your tanks) and your Dark Elf (spell/weapon damage are a similar story), as neither one have any durability bonuses. (Unless the DE has Spell Resist now, and I've simply forgotten.)

    Dark Elf magicka necromancer. Mine is built as dps, but can be a healer with a resto staff and tanks vet dlc dungeon by changing gear and skills. Even as a tank has plenty of dps to self clear trash adds and can cast heals at party if needed. The class kit for necro is very versatile and strong.

    As a warden nord healer I agree it work perfectly fine and it's very easy to stay alive with so much resist (allow me to put more in elemental and poison defense CP).

    + The ult gen is amazing.
    + Health and stam are nice add but not really impactful.

    I love my Nord Templar. I can solo dungeons and world bosses. I am difficult to kill, which lets me tank, I can heal with a resto staff or by using class skills and can dps by changing skills, ice staff to fire and my monster set.

    As many others have said I would suggest dark elf warden. Wardens are in a decent spot as mag and stam DPS right now. Dark elf passives lend to strong DPS on either end though you may have to fight sustain (less of an issue on wardens because of the netch). The mag affinity for dark elf also leads to strong heals and the balanced stats is good for tanks that live by stat density across the board. Wardens are also considered the second strongest tanks and healers and are usually quite welcome in group content. You won't be fully optimal at any but you will be within a very tight margin (1-2%) which is phenomenal.

    Races- Khajit, Dunmer, possibly Argonian and Imperial (but not really DPS) (any of the tri-stat or the dual stat races basically)
    Classes: Any class can do any role with ease and some learning and the right build load out. Legit.

    I'd say if you want a well-rounded race, pick Khajiit for all three roles, or Dunmer for strictly DPS between both stamina and magicka.

    As for the most well-rounded classes, I'd suggest either Templar, Warden or Necromancer. All these three have the needed skills to fulfill all the roles, whereas the other classes don't do every role just as well.
