My characters will remain pure because I don't plan on playing after U46 for at least a year. You guys need to cook.

This ain't it chief

Not really sure what it is all about but I can't see myself deviating from what I am used to. I don't even play my alts because I am used to my main.

Fully unlocking subclassing will mean leveling up 21 skill lines.

Assuming I'm playing still I'll be putting it on every character of mine that I am actively playing so that I can level the skill lines up faster.

It's going to likely take me months to fully unlock it.

After it's unlocked, I'll probably be using it on most if not all of my characters because I generally don't use a ton of class skills so it's likely most of my characters would be better off shifting one or more of the lines off towards something else.

Leveling 21 skill lines ONLY if you don't have them already fully leveled on alts. If they're fully leveled on alts, they will be fully leveled when you select them. The only reason you'd have to level up subclass skill lines is IF you don't already have them unlocked or leveled on an alt. So if your Templar's skill lines are 50, you would access them at level 50... if your DK's skill lines are only at 30, you would access them at 30; once you get it to 50, it would be level 50 from then on. If you create a NEW character, then you would have to level your character's chosen base class skill lines to 50 again for that new character. So creating a new character as a Sorcerer, you'd have to level the Sorcerer skill lines to 50 even if you had another alt Sorcerer that was 50. Hope that all makes sense.

As for my subclassing choice... I left a year ago because I found ALL the classes boring and stale. I'd played them all, and it was just pure boredom after almost ten years and thousands of hours. A class change token would not have brought me back to the game, however, having the ability to create my OWN class... now this has brought me back and I know there are many others out there coming back for subclassing too.

Currently on the PTS you have to level up the skill lines even if you have them on an alt fully leveled.

Why would I gimp a build?

I don't know yet. I will have to read and study about the different classes to figure out what might go where. I know nightblade, but not enough about the other classes. When I decide to bring out my tank or healer, I have to open the skill lines and refresh my memory. 😅

Anyway, what is purity when you are a body without a soul

Left to my own devices I'll stay pure but if my raid lead tells me to subclass I'll salute and move out with a subclass because I love raiding.

Depends upon what gets released to live. Right now I'm using easy to play Arcanist alts and One Bar Oakensoul alts for all of my trials/dungeons/overland. If the 171K parse on PTS I saw (Grave Lord/Herald of the Tome/Assassination) ends up making it to live, then all my current DPS builds will be way under performing and probably unwanted for playing with others. I will need a new easy to play build that doesn't require 120 actions per minute (APM) and performs closer to the new top builds. Hopefully there will be a new easy to play build, otherwise ZOS may have designed me out of ESO.

That Arcanist setup is actually easier than the current, if that’s even possible. (Fewer apm). There are 2 skills that you slot and basically don’t use, siphon and relentless focus. So, those two along with two banners that you don’t have to touch. It’s all about the passives. But I’m sure some things will change. Also, exhausting fatecarver is basically unsustainable without parse food. So we’ll see what happens.

I've no interest in subclassing. I had no interest in scribing either. It's not fun for me to "create" skills or classes or whatever itch these two systems are trying to scratch.

I can see the potential of Scribing for filling in gaps in some class toolkits (like my Dragonknight healer.) If I need a very specific thing and a class doesn't have it, it seems useful—whereas "just swap something for Restoring Light/Green Balance/Curative Runes" just feels like playing Templar/Warden/Arcanist with extra steps.

I will build one char into a subclass meta for my dungeon trifectay prog group. Not out of interest, I detest it, but to support my regular group with as high DPS as possible since HMs will be tuned according to the new ceilings.

For the rest - I couldn´t care less - the whole subclassing discussion left me in a state of resignation.

I am Templar. Been Templar 11 years and for whatever time I have left in Tamriel I will be a Templar.

I may never play a level 50 character after this is implemented but I would rather play low level or gimped than be some hideous hybrid.

I will experiment, with some ideas, more for role play, screw around builds than anything for end game, if I don't like the changes I will switch back via the armoury.

On my main: Pure.

On my alts: I'm willing to experiment.

But...I play my main 99% of the time and have zero interest in subclassing with that character. If she's no longer viable in normal group content, or the skills she uses are nerfed/changed beyond recognition, I'll exit the game.
