    After playing all classes, I love Sorcs most because there skills can be combined in so many ways, BUT...
    ...it is a shame that DoublePetSorcs have been nerfed so often that they now are useless in PvP.

    My preference of the classes are as followed.

    1. Templar
    2. Sorc
    3. DragonKnight
    4. Nightblade
    5. Warden
    6. Neco

    Templar is my favorite hands down. After that the next three are fairly equal in how I like them. I've played both a Warden and Neco for a bit but I didn't like how the Warden it played and I absolutely hate the Neco class.

    I've been playing since 2015 on PS4 right after the game launched.

    They gave my guy a worthless PvP only racial passive, since no NPCs can be bothered to hide, and he was a PvE thief/assassin. So I turned him into a werewolf instead, and then they rendered that playstyle irrelevant. So he's retired and only does crafting.

    Nord has had lore breaking passives from the get go. They're always been a very offensive race while being immune/highly resistant to frost damage, and minor resistance towards shock damage.

    The defensive race of the Elder Scrolls series have been the Orcs. They mixed their racials up in this game.

    Stam Warden for me with double bow build (for now). Mag pet sorc at first and loved it however it was changed too much to have to re-learn rotation. Moved to DK tank just reached level 50 when SnB change was made so quit ESO for a while. Just came back a few weeks ago and enjoying the Warden so far mostly as it feels like a unique class and with unique spells. I hope it doesn't get changed too much going forward however.

    Mag DK for me. All the fire, everywhere! It burns burns burns! Melee range mag class is quite interesting.

    I recently started a double bow Stam Necro which is growing on me fast. Ranged stamina class is so opposite of what I'm used to.

    Started as a Nightblade but found it difficult once I discovered the Quick Slot system and healing potion system just doesn’t work on the PC.

    Purchased Eslwyer and decided to try a Necromancer and never went back. The Death Scythe works for healing, and transforming into a Bone Goliath has got me of many a dicey situation and taken out World Bosses etc.

    Just discovered Avid Boneyard and how that works, so still discovering new things. Just to put in perspective my Nightblade is Level 18 and my Necromancer is CP 400 plus.

    Used to main a Magblade when they were meta in end game trials but started to get bored so moved to Magplar who then became the meta. That’s when I tried Magden, a class at the time ridiculed for its dps, and simply loved it. The 3 second rotation rhythm, the bear, frost magic and bird of prey are all awesome. I managed to get my dps high enough to run all of the trials with my trial guild, even before the dot patch where they thrived. I cleared vAS HM with him which was the highlight.

    Nowadays I’ve mostly taken a break from end game trials and just play my Magden in overland and dungeons going for achievements.

    Looking at esologs makes me sad for the class since people just don’t seem to take it where the hard content is.

    I passionately love Nightblade. But it is too hard to play. I don't play Nightblade - I tried since 2016.

    I hate PetSorc. But I played PetSorc and it was a really easy. But now it is over, alas.

    I find StamDk boring and useless. I play it. For now it is the only class that suits my solo game. Can survive, can do damage.

    I went through a lot of characters while I was learning the game, and always started over. Then I found Esharra, my stamina sorceror (and her Clannfear companion, Roscoe). We tore through areas that had frustrated me before (like those @%&% wood orcs in Greenshade). The strategies I learned on that character transferred over to the ones that came later, so in a sense, she's the one who kept me playing ESO.

    Nightblade
    When I first started I actually rolled a Sorc (it was a hybrid since I didn't know better), but later I created my Bosmer stamblade, and despite the racial passive changes and various nerfs, the nightblade class is still my favorite. The ultimate and Ambush skills lack some of the oomph they originally possessed but still feel fun in gameplay. Cloaking on a non-magicka build in pvp is challenging, and I even got to take advantage of the whole stealth detection thing.

    I just wish I didn't have to keep a separate set of armor in order for her to achieve perfect runs for Thief and Dark Brotherhood daily quests. My Bosmer thinks it's all a part of the universe's plot to destroy her, lol.

    Nightblade is my all around favorite but I also really enjoy Templar as well. I am still getting into Warden (wish I could have a non-bear guardian though!) and non-pet Sorc. For Dragonknight and Necromancer, I like some of the abilities, but others not, and won’t use ones I don’t like the look of. I don’t like having stuff grow out of my character’s back (although the DK abilitiy can look cool with an Argonian IMO) and definitely don’t like the Necro transformation morph or gravestones.

    I chose Sorc because it was my first class and it's got a special place in my heart.. Now I've got 18 characters, and I can honestly say that I love every class. I really like the class design in this game.

    It was the MagBlade at first, but then the Warden got released (a class that I had been begging for for a long time)...

    - A Nature-based class (my fav theme)
    - Bear companion with an extra skin
    - Cryomancy
    - Great healing powers
    - And overall a lot of fun :p

    I tried out the Warden, first thing I did, during the Morrowind beta and I knew at that moment: this was my new main <3

    When I first started playing ESO, my buddy went for magicka sorcerer & I went for stamina DK. He was ranged & I was melee. We played like this for the first whole year of ESO & while we both had a great time exploring, questing & dungeoning... my buddy would often complain about how 'weak' the Sorcerer felt & I didn't really like the reliance on weapon skills on my stamDK (this was before the stam morphs changed to poison).

    Over the next year or 2 as we explored other aspects of the game including the PVP, we ended up swapping over with my buddy making a tanky stamDK & I changed to a shield-stacking MagSorc. For me the skill combos & the use of the overload bar for extra utility was a hands-down winner over the clunky feel of the stamDK. My buddy preferred the simpler melee combat of the weapon skills! :D

    That said... my 2nd preference would be stamWarden. Although it is a return to the weapon skills melee gameplay.. the toolkit for utility from the Warden is awesome.

    Let me start by saying I main a Templar, and I'm always going to main a Templar. It fits an RP element I had in mind for being a holy knight/healer, and so I work at being the best at it through all the changes, good and bad.

    But the way I read it, this question asks what class I "fell in love with" after playing it. As in, which class surprisingly was just fun to play, rather than which one could I fit into a predesigned framework. That would have to be the DK. The reason I have at least three of each class except for necro, which only has 2, is because I have 4 DKs.

    I have a stam DK, who makes an easy off tank when needed. He was a recreation of my beta main, but when Templars got nerfed before launch, I went with the next class I had fun with.

    I have a hybrid tank, a model that works well with DK abilities even before Ice staff blocking became a thing.

    I have a fire witch who I deleted at one point because I though I wouldn't need a mag DK, but recreated the second I had an extra slot. And I just love the flame style I've created around her.

    I have an unarmed fighting Khajiit who's insane but so much fun, and I love him. (I deleted the mag DK and kept him afterall.) From running nVA and realizing I could one hit the low tier enemies with the new Stone Fist, to landing a killing punch on troublesome Grand Overlord in PvP, he's probably the most fun out of all my characters. And he too is a DK.

    Stamina Warden is my favorite because it is nature based. I do wish, though, that I could have a wolf rather then a bear.

    A very close favorite to Warden (and a class where I can survive better!) is Magicka Templar.

    Haven't fallen in love with anything, but I play a Warden because Hunter/Ranger/Warden is what I tend to play in most games.

    Even though they are normally rubbish in PVP and only so-so in PVE and even though I, invariably, find other classes are far, far easier to play, I still persist.

    Warden would have to get better and have more options of pet before I was, even vaguely, in danger of falling in love with it, here.

    Only game where I ended up playing something different, on a consistent basis, was GW2, where I played Mesmer.

    Mesmer has a disengage there (with staff), whereas Ranger doesn't.

    Plus clones are quite fun, even if I do miss my pet...

    Played it until the lag and crashing, in WvW, finally killed it for me.

    Necromancer
    I was a magsorc main since I started playing but was always on and off with the game due to how sorc worked with its class abilities and pet mechanic not really enticing to me, but at the same time the other classes were equally uninteresting. So when necromancer was announced to come with Elsweyr I decided to buy it and give it a try on PTS, and boy was I pleased with how it turned out, while not being a traditional necromancer as I thought of, the corpse mechanic they went with is very fun to play around with, and I have alot more drive to play the game as a Magcro!

    Templar
    My magicka templar is my main. I started her as DPS and switched to healing when our guild was short on healers. I can switch roles or switch to a PvP build with just a few changes and can solo most overland bosses so fun to play in all kinds of settings.
    Right now I am really having fun on a Necromancer tank.

    Looking at the poll results so far other than Necro it seems fairly even.
