Suggest easiest class(most fun) and race

saki · April 2014

Hi, as title says, can anyone suggest fairly easy class and race should I choose?

No we cannot as telling you our favorite classes and races would only tell you how we like to play the game. My suggestion? Pick a race and class and go at it for 10 levels and see if you like it.

Cmon tell me your fav class. I played dk and nb to lvl 10, not bad. Dk have some dot bug sounds that is annoying and nb is squishy sometimes.

Depends on what you like doing. I like sneaking around and doing spike damage. Simple Nightblade spec with some shadow/assassination/dual wield abilities does that for me, and I have a blast in pvp being a scout and going behind enemy lines.

I did make a 2h melee, mostly plate wearing, some light, Sorcerer build using shock aoe's, and that's pretty fun too. Seemed a nice compromise of what I like doing (beating stuff up and casting spells). I thought that build is fairly unique, but maybe not. Only seen maybe one or two other people doing it, and it's fun. Not so great in PvP yet, though, but it's only 18.

Race bonuses are irrelevant unless you're a hardcore min/maxer, so an "easy" race is nonsensical.

I've only tried a few classes, but they all seem pretty balanced. Personally I think class is only partially relevant to your build anyway. You could even build without using any class-specific skills and be just fine lol.

_My_ favorite race is Bosmer because I like the horns and cat-like eyes. *shrug* Sorceress and Nightblade are my favorite classes just because they have dark themes.

Anything using a bow is pretty easy. Probably the most effective for just roaming around killing everything without breaking a sweat (PVE) is Sorc/summoner/bow spec, it can take down ANYTHING even most double elite bosses with charged storm atronach.

Thx for info guys. I will try tomorrow sorc and templar.

I have a sword and board Redguard Templar which is my main (although it's only VR1).

I have a resto staff second weapon spec for PvP healing.

I also have an Orc Dragon Knight dual wield. Wood Elf Nightblade with bow and Dark Elf Nightblade dual wield.

Bows seem like the best weapon, I like a bow using Templar, it's the most fun for me.

I like playing my sorc as a control wizard. EXTREMELY squishy... if you can get to me. (which people often do but its fun to me)

If your Nightblade is squishy, it is because you made them squishy. You could just as easily made a NB tank. Don't get caught up in the idea that a nightblade has to be a leather wearing rogue, or that a sorcerer has to a cloth wearing, staff wielding caster. You can make the class however you want. Unlike other games, class has absolutely nothing to do with the role you play. You can be a sorcerer tank or a Dragon Knight mage. All choosing a class does is determine the class skills you will have available.

Your best bet would be to choose a class that has the class skills you like the best and then ask specific questions on how to build them for your play style.

Also, whether a build will be easy and fun for you will be based on your preferences and play style. What is easy for me may not be easy for you. I like using CC and other special abilities, and playing that way seems easy to me, but to others it may not be.

I leveled all four 'classes' to 20, but only my Templar to V2 as I prefer the Templar.

I can tank (sword & board), heal (staff) or dps (bow) in any dungeon run and have some good AOE for AOE loot runs.

As for race, I love my Argonian, he is a Vamp (so a white lizard) can swim fast (which is useful in PVP, sometimes) and gets a lot out of potions.

Any CLASS can be a tank, healer or dps with the right skill points and weapon\armor. Just try them all and find what 'sits well' with you.
