Despite the fact that it might look odd to players who expect sorcerers to be seen as mages only, it hurts a lot, probably more than most stamina-based characters from other classes (except when it comes to one-shot stealth nightblade builds, but that's another thing and these lack something when it comes to larger scales battles). You can see him as a kind of warrior-mage type of character which uses his magical skills to buff his combat prowess to another level. Sorcerers: I have a two-handed wielding and sword and board sorcerer which use some buffs and situationnal skills from the class lines. Nightblade can even be played as two-handed assassins (even if we have to admit that almost every stamina Nightblade is a dual-wielding and bow user)!ĭragonknight has a lot of cool skills for a more tanky build, but still, no limit at all when it comes to the weapon they use. Templars can be played as Paladin-like (warrior with some divine shields and healing here and there) with a two-handed weapon.

The rest is up to you and which skills and attributes you choose. You can also get a lot of skills from the guild skill lines, so as a warrior, you'll probably end up using a lot of skills which aren't even from your class!Īlso, you can think of two big categories of builds: magicka builds (which mostly uses class skills, because almost every class skill costs and is based on magicka) and stamina builds (which use weapon skills, but also guild skills and some class skills which may have a stamina variant, or some buffs, even if they use magicka). A lot of the classes have the same kind of buffs, but with a different "skin". Keep in mind that any class can use any weapons and armor, and any skills related to that gear. Nightblade might be seen as the life stealing, stealthy or assassin type of character while the sorcerer is clearly seen as a mage-type class), but it's about all. True, some classes are aimed at a certain playstyle (e.g. Well, any class can be used as a warrior or a magic user, really: it all come down to which skills you are going to use.
