So first, some back story:
I started at pc early access back when eso first launched. I loved the game at first, and mained a nightblade. Now, I only get a few hours a week to actually play, and I've never been a fast leveler - more of a completionist. By the time eso went live for consoles, my nightblade was vet 3, and I had a vet 1 templar. I took the transfer/account copy to ps4 at console release because, at the time, I had more friends and family interested in the console version (or unable to run eso on their pcs).
At first, console was good, it was a breath of fresh air for the gameplay, but the problems quickly made themselves apparent: loading issues, lag, no text chat, and the realization of just how terrible the trade system is without access to mods/addons. Needless to say, my friends didn't keep playing for long, and I ended up going to other games back in July.
I came back to the game 2 or 3 weeks ago to see how things have changed. Some things are better but the issues with console are just too much to deal with. So today, I updated my game on pc. I'll lose a lot of progress changing platforms again, but I still have my vet 3 nb, vet 1 temp, and around 60k gold in the bank to fall back on.
So here's my dilemma: as much as I like my nightblade and templar, I'm not quite sure it's the best idea to stick with them. I love the weapon - oriented playstyle of the nightblade, mine is set up more like a Warrior than a rogue, but I just never seem to be as effective as I think I should be.
On the flip side, I've been working on a dragon knight on ps4 lately (only level 26 though) and that class seems to have so much more to offer. Both magicka and stamina builds are supported equally well by the dk's abilities and passives, and they seem to be far more versatile than any other class.
So if I'm going to be losing progress by switching back to pc, should I just start over anyways with a new character? In any of the three roles, will a dragon knight be more efficient than my nightblade could be?
