Stamplar Or Magplar-Or something else

[DalegendJohn]

Hello, i recently created a forum post and i was gonna choose templar.
I was wondering if i should run stamplar or magplar. I want a class that shines more in pve but viable and great as well in pvp but i ONLY WANT MELEE. I don't really want to use a staff which might make some people scratch there heads as to why.
However if there's a better class you could recommend-Bessides SORC-please do
My play style
-Mainly solo but also want to do group
-Dps sometimes tank
-Pvp and pve
-Dungeons and raids

Pick one, play it for a bit...then either re-roll or re-spec.
It's difficult to really suggest anything more as your play style kinda covers a lot of ground.
The thing to remember is that it's your game, you bought it and, if you have eso plus, you're going to be the one paying for it...so you might as well go the whole hog and play it - asking whether [x] is better than [y] only gives another person's opinion on the characters that they play, when it's a lot more fun to find the play style that suits you best yourself.

base game allows for 8 characters and can also buy 7 more character slots. Character created but don't work out, use as storage mules.

My main is a twohanded stamina templar. Not min/max ideal, but good enough for most pve stuff.
You can make almost any build work in this game.
If you play your toon long enough, you'll come up with a good balance of skills, armour sets, champion points etc. You'll figure out what works and what doesn't.
I'm currently playing an orc healer. Definitely not the best race for a healer, but hey it's what I wanted (old warrior gone pacifist). And you know what: he rocks!

First, You want a melee char, melee weapons are stamina weapons, so you go stamina. The thing with stamina builds is that they are not really dependant on class, as 95% of class skills are about magicka. A stamina build mainly uses weapon skills, guild skills (the trap and the ultimate) and alliance skills (heal and caltrop, ultimate if you're tank). In that way you can actually that whatever the class, stamina builds have usually the same core build, only the class bit changes.

Then there is the issue with what you want to do with it. You say you want to do pve, pvp. Are you assuming you're goign to keep the same build, because you're very wrong if you think that.
A class in eso can easily pack 2 or 3 different builds, you have enough points for that and in endgame, you usually have at least 2 different sets or gears and one just for pvp. Swapping gears and gears (preferably with wardrobe addons to speed up the process) is very common.

If you want a stamplar you can easily do a dps or a tank with it (as you can with all the classes, not exactly the same way obviously). As dps it's going to be either dw/bow or 2H/bow (depending on with you need single target or aoe dps) or shield/shield for tank.

Second, what's wrong with sorc ? Melee stamina sorc is a very good fighter, besides you mainly use only sorc passives (the passive execute really) and 1 or 2 utility sorc skills (the tornado and sometimes the teleport or the crit heal buff, and in very rare cases the bound armor and overload for a third utility bar).
