Best resource for build guides?

[Goombles]

Played long ago at original launch but recently repurchased on steam as a side game to WoW. One thing I've noticed is I can't seem to find a definitive and reliable looking source for build guides like Wowhead or Icyveins. Are they just the forums? There are a few sites I've bookmarked but I'm not entirely sure how up to date they are, or if things even massively change patch-to-patch like they do in WoW. Any recommendations?

Most people recommend Alcast for builds and guides. I like him but Dottz is less min/max and gives choices within the build I appreciate.

I've been using the alcasthq site while leveling to make sure I don't waste any skillpoints. Thanks a lot you two! I'll also bookmark this for those other two.

Also check NefasQS and t3hasiangod in YT, they also have builds and interesting educational videos about the game mechanics.

rather check sites like www.eso-sets.com and explore for yourself what playstyle you would like.

EDIT: you can use this but it is for more advanced

I should have specified I would like to play melee dps, with a 2h for style points since I play an arms warrior in WoW and really like the fantasy. A lot of the guides were recommending DW builds, and that's cool and all, but I really wanted 2H and a a lot of alcast guides seem to say it is for PvP and suboptimal for PvE. I dont really enjoy PvP and only ever do it casually. Seems like I can still play with a 2h if I want though.

I think I'll try to have fun leveling and getting into the game and worry about min/maxing at endgame. I just wanted to know what optimal build/skills were so Im not wasteful leveling up :)

At the end of the day, especially with PvE you can play whatever you want within reason. The reality is that you will learn a lot from your first character but are unlikely to stick with it to the bitter end. Go for whatever takes your fancy and have fun.
