The title pretty much says it all. According to this forum

MagDK
StamDK
Magsorc
Stamsorc
Magden
Stamden
Magplar
Stamplar
Magblade
Stamblade


and

Imperials
Orcs
Redguards
Bretons
Nords
Dark Elves
Argonians
High Elves
Khajiit
Wood Elves


are dead now, in both PvE and PvP, solo and group content.

Basically every possible build in the game is not working, they're all underperforming and could need some buffs. I mean I think even the upcoming Magcro and Stamcro are already dead when I read the forums correctly...

I mean on top of that not only classes are dead. Races are dead too, the upcoming racial changes will kill almost every race according to this forum.

What is ZOS even doing? Destroying their game or what? So what can someone play in this game that is not dead and actually fun to play?

    My wood elf sorc is going be add more mobility and scouting capabilities so not dead though make negate a real healing ultimate.

    My imperial is going to have nearly a free self heal and blocking and bashing will cost less.

    My Breton do :D is probably meta now with it helping with obvious sustain issues for dk healers.

    My Orc makes for interesting sorc tank with way to generate stamina and health resources between blocking.

    My redguard nightblade is still powerful 2 years later.

    My stamina healer khajit now makes a perfect hybrid.

    My dark elf ... good thing I never play you...

    So when everything is dead and not meta, you are free to choose since it doesn't matter.

    There's your answer.

    Log into the game and you'll find you can play any class and race just fine, both now and in the future.

    You better off taking 1% of the forums for granted 99% is just whining or bs.

    All we have left is roleplay. But don't roleplay sneaking characters, apparently that is dead too now.

    Playing a Redguard NB after this will be objectively UNviable. Unless u wanna replace all ur class skills.

    I hate accepting this but forums are plain unbearable lately. You know sh*t ain't good when QQ is covering the front page in whatever forum you go (thank god lore section is still ok). If the game was half as bad as it looks on the forums it would have already died like 2 years ago.

    It's just what it is i suppose.

    This is the problem with players following the meta or Youtube build since day one, they lack of imagination

    If you're actually reading and looking into the nonsense on this forum then thats a problem on itself. This forum is only filled witb salt and people who overreact and start rumors. Dont read into it.

    If all classes and races are “dead”, then, relative to each other, they are all a good as they were before they “died”.

    Oh, PvP is apparently dead, too. What about PvE?

    But you say roleplaying - except for sneaky stealthy characters - is still in a good spot! Nice!

    What do you have in your Stam healer? As a healer main role, I always wanted to go there with stamina but only kinda manage with Templars, for vigor and repentance. Granted, 75% crits and tooltip vigor at almost 13k, but still... Too little to be called good.

    Warden makes a pretty good Stamina healer, Spores has a Stamina version and with Lotus you can get additional healing from bow light attacks.
