Help an Argonian pick a class...

SunBroDesion · May 2021

Returning to eso and most of my knowledge is forgotten and now I'm stuck in choosing a class. The class I choose is based on how it performs in pvp. I'm very agressive and take chances I should not, to the point where I might be defeated. I also enjoy a good skill to escape when I'm outgunned and realize it. Just want to have some fun in pvp eventually with my class. A nice rush ability would be great too. I can't decide on mag or Stam, was thinking mag but not so sure anymore now that I'm think melee might be a fun change of pace.... But in the end I'm still a very agressive play to a fault, who will turn tail and run if I need to but in a big fight and I got allies I go guns blazing....until(or if) I'm the last man standing, then I run. I've always enjoys dots over slash damage and love aoes, but that doesn't mean I don't like single target. Anyway any advice would help, even more so if you go into detail why I should play your suggested class.(just FYI I'm no healer, horrible situational awareness)

Sorcerer

Templar if you are going to be Healing too

I also PvP very aggressively, and have had the most success with Sorcerer, by far (which isn't to say that I'm anything special at PvP, just that Sorcerer works better for me than other classes).

That said, I think DK probably has the most aggressive overall playstyle, but I've never been able to actually execute it. Either I charge into a fight and die immediately, or I build for more survivability and no longer do enough damage to finish anyone off.

Stam necromancer.

Search eso skillbook necromancer and look through the skills. I think you’ll find what you’re describing.

For lore friendly style: NB just as your DB supplier.

For fun: DK - cause you could be like little dragon breathing fire or poison xd

For meta-alike gameplay: necro - get clever alchemist, jewelry that will reduce your cooldown to 30s and then you could spam spell power pots or immovable as crazy

I'd go DK or Warden, but that's because my one Argonian character is a warden tank. Still a great support race

Sorc and Nightblade have the best ability to be overaggressive AND escape. If you're willing to be a vampire for Mist Form, I would add Magicka templar to the list.

Sorc: Streak is an initiation tool and possibly the strongest escape tool in PvP. Stamina is great but requires melee, and is tanky enough to sometimes survive longer than you should. I run mine with Seventh Legion, and Ring of the Wild Hunt and divines Steed Stone for the movement speed. With good Health Recovery and Streak, it feels like I can pick when to escape pretty reliably.

Nightblade: Cloak is the obvious escape tool, and a lot of nightblades build like glass cannons and depend on cloak to get out. They also have an ability that works like a charge. I personally prefer magblade—my favorite build was running 2-hander on magblade for Onslaught.

Magicka Templar: If you run divines Shadow Stone with Minor Force, you can get like 190% critical damage on argonian. I run mine with Mechanical Acuity (only on one bar so I can activate it when I want) and War Maiden's, and the crits are crazy strong. Puncturing Sweeps with Mechanical Acuity also heals you for a lot, so it's very bursty. There's a great class charge, BUT I lack a good escape tool because I'm not a vamp.

If you want to be able to overcommit, I suggest using tri-stat food for the extra stamina, and Immovability potions will make a huge difference. I've only ever used them for a dueling tournament because I'm cheap lol, but it was like a whole new way to play.

I think StamSorc fits your description the best. The class is in a great spot in PvP.
