Character roster options

KestrelFive · December 23

Hey all,

I am definitely a bit thorough when it comes to matching class identity/fantasy with race and role, not necessarily to optimize to the fullest extent but to have a good synergy with class, class fantasy, race, and the role for that character. I am torn between the following two options, which do you think "fits" better? I have the roles listed for solo play/group play below. Really into the Sorcerer and Arcanist classes right now.

Option 1:
- Dunmer male Arcanist - Stam DPS/Tank (Telvanni battlemage, Mora cultist)
- Breton female Arcanist - Mag DPS/healer (Breton arcane healer)
- Imperial male Sorcerer - Stam DPS/Tank (Imperial battlemage)
- Dunmer female Sorcerer - Mag DPS/healer (Pact battlemage, Azura devotee)

Option 2:
Imperial male Arcanist - Stam DPS/Tank (Imperial Battlemage, Mora cultist)
Dunmer female Arcanist - Mag DPS/healer (Telvanni mage and Daedric researcher)
Dunmer male Sorcerer - Stam DPS/Tank (Pact battlemage, Azura devotee)
Breton female Sorcerer - Mag DPS/healer (Daedric summoner and lightning mage)

they all fit.
every class fits with every role and every race.

which class and race do you want to play with?

You should consider High Elves for Magicka Arcanist and Magicka Sorcerer.
These could be Thalmor Battlemages, Mages Guild Magisters or Psijjic Monks. Whatever you fancy.
Or Worm Cult fanatics, if that is your thing.

As much as it pains me as a "Breton guy", both Sorc and Arc have very good sustain, so that the Breton passives are a bit of a waste.

As a role I'd recommend against Sorcerers being Healers. They still lack good passives, like access to minor mending, for example. Sorcs are far better as Tanks.
And Arcanists can even be Stamina Healers. No problemo.
