What is the Best Beginner Class for DPS in ESO
The Magicka Sorcerer is the Best Beginner Class for the role of DPS in ESO! One of the most new player friendly Classes in the game with access to several offensive, defensive and support skills! What makes the Magicka Sorcerer the best option is the Pets it can summon. These Pets can draw aggro, deal damage and heal you when fighting enemies. The Magicka Sorcerer is an easy Class to learn that can become powerful as a damage dealer later in the game. The more you practice with it, the better will become in almost every aspect of PVE and even PVP gameplay!
Some important skills that will help you early in the game include Surge & Morphs, that provides a passive healing when you deal Critical damage, Conjured Ward & Morphs that offer a valuable damage shield and Summon Twilight Matriarch, one of your Pets that will also be your main active healing ability early in the game.
Summon Volatile Familiar, Summon Storm Atronach & Morphs, Crystal Fragments and Mages’ Fury & Morphs will help you deal good damage! Magicka Sorcerer is a class with several skills that deal Shock damage, so if you like playing with Lightning this is another reason to pick this Class!

What is the Best Beginner Class for Tank in ESO
The Stamina Dragonknight is the Best Beginner Class for the role of Tank in ESO! A sturdy Class with several defensive and support skills. Stamdk can hold aggro easily and crowd control enemies more naturally than every other Class in the game. This along with the fact that the Class is available with the base game, make Dragonknight the best option for the role of Tank as a beginner.
Thanks to skills like Hardened Armor, Fragmented Shield and Green Dragon Blood you can hold aggro and survive with ease. What really makes Dragonknight a great option for this role though, is its Battle Roar passive ability that allows you to restore resources every time you cast an Ultimate ability.
Unrelenting Grip, Burning Talons and Choking Talons allow you to crowd control enemies while Cauterize offers some extra passive healing! Finally Stone Giant also applies the Stagger debuff to enemies, which increases the damage they take. The Stamina Dragonknight is a sturdy Class and the best option if you wish to dive into ESO tanking!
