melee vs magic in pvp eso

[yiazmat50112254]

i don't have the game yet but i like to know which one is more important to deal damage especcialy in pvp.

 

i already think i want the sorcerer specialisation because of the healing and the high dps power but if melee is more powerful or useful i may reconsider it.

 

my idea is to use a melee and magic user (with the idea this is most powerful) but if one of the two has some great downsides it may be a bad idea.

 

in short: are spells or melee skills more powerful (and how much more) and how quick do you run out of magicka/stamina and are plain attacks worth it anyway and if you know any other reasons to do or don't use melee/magic post it. (of course i know everyone likes to play different, but it are the facts i like to know so i can choose my race and class better)

 

one last thing: how more information you can post and how more explained it is how better it is.

i have also one another question: i think about being an altmer(high elf) (second choise nord, third orsimer(orc) ), also with the thoughts i posted at my topic. so my question is is this an good idea to choose this race (or if it isn't is my second or third choise a good idea).

 

in short: tell me what you know why this is/isn't a good idea.

 

one last thing: i posted this not on the topic but in a post after it, because my first question is still the most important one, but if you have some answers about this question i am also happy to know.

I'd suggest skipping this game bud

It's badly made, and not a lot of fun

No text chat ruins it

Also your class or role doesn't matter in the slightest, Tank, Healer and DPS really don't exist in this game

Everyone devolves to DPS in the rare instance you can find a dungeon

I noticed that you are currently playing Skyrim. I would honestly suggest just stick with that. I played ESO, and didn't really get into it that much. If you are however looking for an MMO, I would suggest Final Fantasy 14. I haven't played it, but I hear that it has really really improved since when it first came out, and its actually enjoyable. Keep in mind though that Final Fantasy 14 IS a paid subscription, while ESO is not.

 

I guess it would also depend on if you have friends who have the game, or are interested in this genre of games. After all, it is always more fun to play with people you know.

Sorry that this didn't really answer your original question.

There's no real difference between melee / ranged in PvP, they are both well balanced neither really has the upper hand if one becomes more powerful, it will be nerfed during the next patch so no real point trying to find the class of the month. Pick the one that you prefer to play.

 

Your race won't really have much effect as you go through it either, like most MMO's they add a tiny buff for somethings but its not worth worrying about. Go with the one that suits your style / personality.
