one(or two) sentences summary of each class's identity

Lyserus · January 2021

The discussion seems to die down now, so can anyone tell me the class identity for each class? aside from the cosmetic

Stamina Dragonknight: I spit poison flames and have claws and flappy wings, I jump at you and go BOO!

Magicka Dragonknight: Flames! Rocks! Magma! I whip things to death with a ticklish flame whip.

What identity?

Once upon a time, nearer to ESO's launch, it USED to be that Nightblades were known for being the squishy, rogue class which could deal damage to enemies while siphoning health from them to keep themselves alive, Dragonknights were known as THE class to be for an optimal tank and crowd control, Templars were known as THE ultimate healers, and sorcerers were known for their summons.

In the current day however, all classes are jacks-of-all-trades-and-masters-of-none, you just get slightly different options of mediocrity depending on class, and thanks to armor set "standardization" all classes will be built with the same exact optimal gear for their targeted goal no matter which class or race you choose... It is just one big illusion with few choices that will not penalize you in your chosen role. But hey, check out mount reskin number 1000 of the same damned horse, or more house/furnishing crap that has no functional use.

PVP Dragonknights: I'll make you a pretty statue and tackle hug you! Essentially the class once it gets into melee range with something that thing is going to struggle to get away.

Nightblades: They still have cloak.

Sorcerer: Make an undead army of pets and streak around to keep your enemy away as you frag them.

Warden: Arctic Blast and proc sets go together like peanut butter and jelly. Also has a free purge ability that gives resources.

I didn't wanna write that so skipped it entirely, but yeah lol.

The class does synergize well with the high health proc meta, but I imagine standing there holding block gets mighty boring.

For Sorcerer, I'd like to quote Freddy Mercury:

Flash, a-ah, saviour of the universe
Flash, a-ah, you saved everyone of us
Flash, a-ah, he's a miracle
Flash, a-ah, king of the impossible
He's for everyone of us
Stand for everyone of us
He saved with a mighty hand
Every man, every woman…

It depends on the character for me.

My sorcerer is the Lightning Mage - a destruction school specialist who focuses in shock damage and mystic secrets.
My templar is the Artificer - a tanky tinkerer who channels energy through their machines with beams of light.
My nightblade is the Redeemed - an icy stab in the dark assassin who now brings healing through shadows.
My dragonknight is the Vampire - an outcast whose anger is channeled through flame and fang.
My warden is the Werewolf - a wild hunter supported by the power of the Green and many, many arrows.
My necromancer is the Psychopomp - a cursed and corrupted berserker with powers of death to guide spirits to rest.

And I have a good half dozen character/class ideas I haven't made, and probably won't ever get to, that emphasize different aspects of what I guess gets called "class identity."
