Great Class Build Discussion : Othor Games

» Fri Jul 05, 2013 2:33 am

First off, my apologies if this has been posted previously.

I have not been a big proponent of how TES:O seems to be shaping up, but I just got linked to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSxWEh-4FBg#at=11 by DFValroth where he interviews Isarii from Tamriel Foundry about character building. It is about 25 minutes long, but is a great discussion with a little speculation thrown in for good measure :smile:

This is referencing Isarii's article on Tamriel Foundry found http://tamrielfoundry.com/2013/06/build-a-build-workshop/.

I found watching this video that if I stopped thinking "Elder Scrolls Online" and instead thought "typical generic MMO", I am truly impressed with what Zenimax Online is doing. I am still unsure about this game, but this video sparked my interest again :smile:

Were you asking a question?

I'm unclear of the point of your post. :touched:

He is trying to start a community discussion about the subject From what I gather Frak. I have not seen the video yet but I am sure I can contribute several disjointed and poorly punctuated paragraphs of my opinion and experience after I do

Well sadly any discussion like this leads me to again call for a "custom" class option where we can mix and match skill lines from the four classes.

I would Ideally have two of the Nightblade trees (whichever ones didn't deal with traps and poisons) and replace that with the sorcerer's storm-calling tree which I assume is lightning-based destruction magic for the most part.

As for my build (which is defined by your hotbar and quickslots as well as your Health/Stam/Mag ratios) I would switch between dual-wielding (sword+dagger) and bow, have the first three skills as weapon skills then the last two be stormcalling spells and the ultimate would likely be the stormcalling ultimate (unless the archery ultimate is something amazing or there is a summon ancestor guardian ultimate on the Dunmer racial tree).

As for ratio I would mostly dedicate to a balance between Stam and Health with a tiny bit of Magicka boost. So it would be +20 Health, +25 Stamina and +5 Magicka. As you can see I'm more of a play-styler/role-player than a min-maxer.
