The "best" class in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) depends on your playstyle, role (DPS, Tank, Healer), and preference for solo or group content. Each class has unique strengths, but heres a breakdown of top contenders: Best Classes by Role (2024 Meta): DPS (Damage Dealer): Necromancer - Strong AoE and single-target damage. - Great for endgame trials (e.g., Blighted Blastbones setup). - Slightly complex rotation but high reward. Sorcerer - Easy for beginners (pets like Oakensoul + Pale Order work well). - Pets or non-pet builds are both viable. - Excellent sustain and crit damage. Arcanist - Newer class (2023) with high burst damage (Fatecarver beam). - Simple rotation, great for solo and group play. - Strong in PvP due to shields and healing. Healer: Warden - Best overall healer with strong HoTs (Heal-over-Time) and buffs. - Provides group sustain (Fetcher Infection for stamina). Templar - Classic "go-to" healer with Radiant Regeneration and Breath of Life. - Easy to learn, great for beginners. Arcanist - Unique Curative Surge mechanic for burst healing. - Strong shields and resource management. Tank: Dragonknight - Meta tank due to strong crowd control (chains) and survivability. - Best for hardmode trials (Igneous Shield is OP). Necromancer - Great for group utility (Colossus ult for Major Vulnerability). - Strong self-healing (Render Flesh). Warden - High resistances and group buffs (Frost Cloak). - Good for off-tank roles. Best Solo Class: Sorcerer (Pets + Critical Surge = unkillable). Templar (Puncturing Sweeps self-heals). Arcanist (Tentacular Dread + shields). Best for PvP: Nightblade (Burst ganker, stealth). Arcanist (Tanky beam build). Dragonknight (Brawler, Corrosive Armor). Most Fun/Unique: Necromancer (Summoning undead, exploding corpses). Arcanist (Laser beam + rune mechanics). Final Recommendation: New Players: Sorcerer or Templar (easy rotations). Endgame DPS: Necromancer or Arcanist. Healers/Tanks: Warden or Dragonknight. ESO balances classes frequently, so the meta shiftspick what fits your style! Would you like a specific build for your preferred role?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
