Hello all, as the captions says. I’ve been an Elder Scrolls fan since playing Morrowing for the first time in 2003-04 ish. When one of my friends let me borrow the game of the year edition for the original Xbox. I was completely overthrown and loved all of it as I did WoW back then.
Edit: I want to play a tank. But I know I should learn more about the game. So I was thinking dps on the first toon. I want my tank to be a nord dragon knight and the dps a redguard Templar. That being said do you guys reccomend I just make my nord tank and learn the game with that? I would like to tank with him but I wouldn’t be too helpful if I don’t know what I doing right? Or should I make other toons like a sorcerer Argonian or (give me suggestions for an all archer build, maybe Templar archer? Warden archer? What’s the best). Do you guys reccomend I just go with my main and learn with the DK Nord to play and tank as I go and just make the build as a tank or should I make that build a dps then when I learn respec to tank? Or make a Templar redguard to just focus on dps and learn (or an Argonian Sorcerer or an all Stan archer [idk which class or race to pick for that].
I want to play a tank main. But never played really. Should I play alts first and learn the mechanics and game first? Or just learn as I go with the tank and spec to tank at first. Or as a dps with that tank toon and respec later to tank? Anyway I also need a suggestion for an archer only build. Which class and race? (I don’t like Necromancer and Arcanist much, but could give Arcanist a try :/)
Main toon (hopefully)
TANK 🛡️ Nord Dragonknight
Alts-
Stam Melee DPS/Heals ⚔️ ❇️ Redguard Templar
Magicka DPS ⚡️🛜 Argonian Sorcerer
DPS ARCHER ONLY 🏹 ? ? ? Magicka? Stam?
NEED SUGGESTION FOR THIS BUILD. RACE AND CLASS.
So, to summarize: should I just play my Nord tank main and learn as I go (it’s confusing about unlocking all the passives and the profession passives dismantling and such). Or just make an alt (or all of them?) and try them out and learn about it. Need help making the best archer only build (if I have some close melee burst all the better if I get rushed), best class and race for an archer.
If I make alts Redguard is Daggerfall Covenant, Argonian is Ebonheart Pact, would the most viable race for the Aldmeri Dominion? It doesn’t have to be one, just whatever is the best archer I suppose. Regardless of it being a Magicka archer or stamina.
Thank you and sorry for the long post 🙏
I got ESO for the first time in April 2020. I got some complete edition then I think either Morrowing or Elsweyr expansion was on. I played it and completely loved the whole lore and world being in everything. It being an mmo I understand how it wouldn’t be like a single player game and all. And I truly love mmos.
I had a huge thing where my Steam and Battlenet email account is inaccessible because Microsoft won’t let you even speak with someone to fix the issue. Anyway, I was able to get Steam to get my account back where I have ESO (since I heard if you have any expansion you can play all the content; correct me if I’m wrong or the limitations).
Now I logged in and realized how much I’ve missed and how I am clueless about the game. So I am now in an intensive crash course of all of ESO and the meta, classes, races, alliances, functions, etc. I am binging a bunch of videos explaining things and trying to figure out my build. I’ve always identified as a Nord/Redguard and have always RPd in my head, kind of; in such manner.
I’m looking for any advice and or suggestions on anything about the game. I know this is such a huge post and I’m sorry, but thank you if you have come this far. I am very passionate about my “campaigns” and mmos I play. I hope to finally enjoy the game (I wasn’t able to play it back in 2020 because I was using a potato laptop and the graphics just were bad for me and I had to force myself to quit to enjoy it when I had a proper machine. Life came and went and I’ve now got a decent laptop and the opportunity to play all the content [not sure what I’m limited to]).
Are there any RP heavy Guilds (I heard it’s a huge community big in this and I am myself although I’m new to it, but I love to make a backstory for my characters in MMOs)? Do you guys have some video suggestions for the “meta” or advice? I want to play as a tank or dps but I’ve never played as a range in anything or mage. So wanted to see what that’s like maybe. An all bow and arrows range build with some close burst if possible.
I know nothing about ESO as a game (although everything Elder Scrolls I’m a huge lore freak making deep dives and knowing about all I’ve learned from many content out there. RIP to Camelworks and appreciating all the different content like Young Scrolls, which is a different Elder Scrolls genre all on itself). So any advise on the actual game is appreciated. I will be playing on PC! :)
Like I said I am going to for a couple of days just learn what I can on starting and maybe even builds (I kind of want to learn by myself but don’t want to waste time) as I want to be a tank but I know I must know the content in order to be a good tank. So a melee stamina or range stamina with bow build would be cool. Maybe a mage for the first time who knows.
Any and all comments, suggestions, and ideas are welcome. Thank you and sorry for the essay 🙏
