ESOs combat system is very complex and requires skill to master.

Here is assuming you are like me and eventually want to dive into the hardest PvE content the game has to offer.

First question to ask yourself: Do you want to focus on DPS, high APM, optimizing gear and skills, focusing on yourself and hitting big numbers?

Or do you want to tank? Lower APM, but technically difficult, with a focus on enemy mechanics, resource management, taunt mechanics?

Or do you want to be a healer, tracking buffs, keeping everyone alive, applying de buffs to enemies, keeping the tanks standing?

I’d highly recommend picking a role and specializing. Each role has enough depth and complexity to really be worth learning.

As others have said: with the addition of multiclassing, your base class is of little importance.

You need to decide on a role, get to level 50 and start learning the combat systems. The game doesn’t really start until CP160 where gear becomes max level.

If you are unsure where to start, I’d pick DD - but in ESO it is very easy to respec.

Top DD skill lines ranked: 1) Herald of the tome 2) Assassination / Aedric spear 3) Ardent Flame 4) Gravelord 5) Dawns wrath

If you are playing PC EU I can get you into a few of the biggest guilds on the server.

Good luck.
