antbanks88: Love your points about the visual cohesion (class theme skill styles, more colors for skills styles) to take it a step further specifically for Warden Ive always thought it would be very cool to have Warden summons that correspond to the race of your character. Warden only received the Morrowind flavor because thats the chapter we got it. For example a Nord could get a Hawk instead of a Cliff Racer, a Redguard could get a Dune Ripper instead of a Bear for their Eternal Guardian, that would add so much to the thematics and customization.

jaiycu7193: You’ve rapidly become my new favorite eso content creator. Keep it up man!

vodazz: I've always had just 1 character - a Necromancer. After Arcanist was announced it looked so intriguing to me, but I really didn't want to level a new character and do everything from scratch. So Subclassing has been a dream come true. Currently using Grave Lord, Herald of the Tome and Assassination. It's been a BLAST - haven't had such fun in ESO combat for a long time.

antbanks88: And I do think they need to add incentives for staying with pure class builds. Maybe its a passive that only works if you have all 3 class lines active, or new buffed class sets that require you to have all 3 class lines.

Ireniicus: Good content. Subclassing is good overall imo however your aesthetic critique is valid. Agrere single class needs a buff but perhaps not to 100%. Think Oakensoul ring where its good enough but not min maxxie. I am concerned almost every dpos build is ending up with assassination skill line. That needs addressing but also every build using the same armour sets when there are hundreds in the game is not ideal.

TiBone15: What would you use if gravelord just didn't fit what you were going for? What about storm calling or dark magic?

seangrant8871: I mean as much as you're obviously right about Class Skill Themes, you did miss the most obvious point.

Wardens. Why is Redguard from the middle of the Alik'r walking around with a netch, a bear, and surrounded by cliff racers? Really my hoity-toity Alinori Altmer imported a bunch of animals from Vvardenfell instead of trying to get some sort of bird or gryphon fledgling? Yeah making subclasses more cohesive with their main class would be AWESOME, but damn the Warden specifically hurts for that

loganbenson8675: Can’t believe I haven’t thought of having different colors for the assassination skill, that’s such a good idea! I also really strongly agree with the idea of rewarding pure builds.

Vergil-Zero: Thank you very much, Kal. Now I know how I'm going to set up my Warden. I'm not sure yet if I'll use the Nightblade skill line, but I'll give it a try.

SaliusCy: Nice build Kal! I am looking to make a bow build and was theory crafting two of the three skill lines you listed here. I may have to try the necromancer line. Well done and thank you!!

Xelgar: Love this video, I enjoy how you balance play style/character theme and efficient damage at the same time. As I am the same way.

I also had an issue with trying the sorc pet combo,won’t lie the succubess wing flapping was very annoying at times

benjaminfast5496: TBH, after being killed by Killer's Blade so many times in PVP, I'm so mad at that skill now that I don't even want it. EVERY class has it now!

For my Warden, he's more of a frost mage, sometimes dipping into lighting with the destro staff, so I'll probably take Storm Calling line from Sorcerer. Not sure what else. I'd have to sacrifice Companions to take another, as I'm not willing to part with my frost skills. Not having Companions doesn't really make him a Warden anymore...

03adrian88: Necro and Warden for AOE then Nightblade for single target.

Kronosxviii1: Mundoos... xD

FumbDuck4000: Grave Lord, Herald, and curative runeforms on my 1 bar arcanist.

Insane dps with cephaliarchs flail, into blastbones, with tide kings gaze and the book beam.

athbaalsallal9380: I’m so happy to see this build, I have a NB that I never liked but I didn’t want to delete her so with subclassing I gave her grave lord and the animal trees, I kept assassination tree so it’s similar to your character. Can you suggest something other than the trial set? It’s still so expensive to craft for me, and I don’t have enough time to farm in game so I want something I can access easily

Top-Lip: I don't think the devs should give pure builds advantages over subclassing, that require omitting subclassing from the equation because I think it would ultimately sabotage the whole point of why subclassing needs to be the new norm.

What I think should happen is that classes themselves are revamped and given more skill lines or more skills so there's more reason to use more tools from your primary class instead of just relying on subclassing to fill gaps.

Rather than being forced to use skill trees that don't fit the role of your character for the sake of an arbitrary buff - because thats basically what pure classing is - I think its about time classes themselves got some major TLC.

branmikefrye: Makes me think you might as well play Necro. I've come up against the same thing with my warden main. I'm trying to limit how much of my core class I swap out. So I find myself only swapping out one skill line, one I wasn't using anyway. Deciding between warden/necro or warden/arcanist.

brysonsales: Can you please go over what specific graphic add ons you use. Your game looks so good

branmikefrye: I've been wanting class-themed skill styles for a while. It's a good idea. But I hope they bake it in rather than sell it piece by piece. It probably should have shipped with subclassing itself. Slap on another class's skills, get your own class' version of that spell.

vanishingworld9172: What should I use if I can’t get Whorl of the Depths?

imnotwatchingasmongold: The fact that people use Killer's blade with bow builds and the existence of Point-Blank Snipe makes me believe that there's no such thing as ranged stamina dps in this game

Ditronus.: Blast bones and skull throw are pragmatic picks, but sheesh, they look and feel so bad. Wish they never did this halloween theme for necros and actually made them more like summoners. ESO necro is the worst necromancer take I've seen in any video game. Ditch the green goblin skulls and give me a zombie minion! Haha

10MinutesInYourLife: eso devs should be stopped.... they fucked the whole MMO mechanics hardly
