A lot of you folks have several characters and play all the roles,but which one do you enjoy playing the most in group content?
If you like,share in the comments with what toon you like to play the most (race/class/role).

I will give an example; my main character (and first character I ever made) is a high elf sorc and I enjoy playing most as healer in group PvE content.
While in PvP I change her into DD ;)

    PVE tank, PVP healer.

    Apparently, I like playing group support roles. In PVE, I love the "battlefield control" aspect of tanking. In PVP, I really like working as a team, and I find that raid healer is a much more dynamic role than the "Oh, you just spam heals and purge" bunch might have you believe.

    Playing as a PVE tank can be a lot of fun. :smiley: Sure it can have it's more....annoying moments, but in general I've enjoyed it. My first character ever was a tank and that is still my main character.

    DPS is fun but if you are into more difficult content it can be a pain. I haven't played as a healer much, but the few times I have it's been fun. :smile:

    Specifically off tank, with someone else calling the trial. I can and do call trials and/or MT, but off tank with a good caller is flat out good solid recreation for me :)

    Tank
    PVE tank. I have a couple I use but the main one I prefer is my Templar tank. She's Imperial and has the look and feel of a holy knight or Paladin and can pull double-duty as the group's healer when I need her to, or slot shards and/or orbs to toss around synergies. Or just go uber tanky with double barred shields (sun shield + s&b shield). She's got damn near infinite sustain the way I have her set up, great for pugs. I like my DK tank too but he's pretty straight forward, just tanks. Nothing significant ever changes on him really, and he needs more support to sustain.

    I also like healing large scale Cyrodiil, and have an Altmer Sorcerer for that, but I haven't bothered with that in a while.

    I don't do group content - ping's too high and I won't push that on others. My characters are generally DDs; I've never had any interest in healing, and tanks take too long at killing stuff. I do some hybrids (yeah yeah, I know the game's "not suitable" for hybrids- but that's okay).

    Healer
    I only ever play as a healer, and only in PvE. And that's when I am actually doing group content, which is not much any more.

    It's the most intuitive role.for me, and the one I enjoy the most. I find that being a DD is mostly just rote, and tanking is too nerve-wracking, whereas I enjoy the strategy and challenge of healing.

    Redguard stamplar dd is my main character for both PvE and PvP group content :)

    This dd is also providing offheals, which is invaluable when running as 3 dds and tank.

    Healer
    The only issue is the lack of tanks in pugs so I find I am constantly being targeted by enemies. I'm a new player so I only recently tried PvP and it was as a healer and that was fun. Once the enemy teams realized I was a healer I found I was getting swarmed sometimes.

    Healer
    I voted healer, and I was shocked to see that healer is leading the polls right now. In my group, we have an excess of tanks, and there are only 1-2 players who really enjoy playing the healing role.

    Personally, I like playing healer in both PVE and PVP, but since most healer sets are proc sets, I haven't played mine in PVP in some time.

    Same,I expected DD to be voted much more.
