Should the group have an "ESO Builds" section?

    This may have been asked before, but I think the site could do with having a pinned forum or thread specifically devoted to ESO builds where users can post their builds and help make character building for eso more diverse. I'd just use the Skyrim character builds page as a basic template and go from there, but I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself.

     

    Is the idea daft, or does anyone else think its a good idea?

    There's far less build diversity in ESO compared to Skyrim seeing as it's a multiplayer game with a required "viability point" for endgame content and PVP. Most of the good builds have already been made, and are being widely used. Anything here would be subpar or barely passing were it unique, and the more unique it is the weaker it is.

    Thats just not true.

     

    People just copy and paste other peoples builds and go with that. The severe lack of creativity and willingness to experiment with all of the armor sets and combinations is a testament to how deeply the eso community as a whole needs a builds section here. I have several unique builds of my own that works as well as any of the dull and overplayed builds you'd see elsewhere. Yes, it has drawbacks, but that is a fact of ALL builds, not just unique ones.

    Then get on with posting all those builds, Kopis. I'd love to read them. The main reason I quit ESO is the lack of class identity as far as gameplay goes, but I'd like to be proven wrong.

    Ebon and I have a little discussion going about build diversity if you want to chat about the specifics (it seems I owe you a reply, Ebon, sorry).

    I totally agree with Noodles' point, though, definitely encourage you to post ESO Builds in this group. It works slightly differently than Fallout or Skyrim CB in that the ESO Group houses all ESO content. So builds, guides, RP Profiles specific to ESO, and general news all get posted in this one Group. However it's not a problem to sticky a build or create an index linking to all builds :)

    Alright, I understand if its more a matter of it being too much hastle than its worth. Just thought it would make the group more organized and efficient is all. :)

     

    As for Noodle's comment, absolutely. I'll be posting some of these builds I have. Do keep in mind though that I like to try and make my build pages as aesthetically pleasing as possible and some of my builds are a tad old and will take time to re-asses and test breifly, but otherwise the first one should be up soon. :)
