Wardens (added in Morrowind) - Servants of nature, they summon animals and plants temporarily to aid in battle, as well as huge spikes and sheets of ice to protect themselves.However, by stealing life energy from enemies and occasionally themselves, they can also heal themselves and allies, as well as making it harder to get hit. Nightblades - Assassins that use shadow magic and life essence manipulation, they are mostly used as stamina-damage dealers.

They are usually seen as magicka-damage dealers, but can use their self-preservation and self-buffing as tanks, and has one summoning pet that can heal multiple targets. Sorcerers - Formidable magicka-users who invoke the power of storms and summoning in battle.Dragonknight tanks are second-to-none owing to their massive shields and self-healing, the Stonewalls to end Stonewalls, but their suite of fire and poison damage skills also let them perform well as damage dealers, and can also be used to heal and buff their allies' damage. Dragonknights - Having learned hidden fire arts from the Akaviri, Dragonknights shield themselves in fiery armours and battle with fire, and also possess a degree of control over the earth under their feet, which they can wield for a multitude of purposes.Templars are typically healers, due to the multitude of buffs and supporting effects they can bestow upon the party, but can also serve as very capable damage dealers of both kind and decent tanks. Templars - Followers of Stendarr who use light and Sun magic in both melee combat and ranged spells to smite the wicked and protect their allies.The game makes a point that all classes can be utilized for every role, though some tend to perform better than others in certain aspects, and the later additions to the roster like Warden and Necromancer tend to be great at anything they do, vital albeit not the absolute best. The three core roles are tanking (taking damage so others do not have to), healing (patching others up), and damage dealing, which itself is composed of two subcategories: stamina and magicka. The Elder Scrolls Online's classes follow the standard role-playing archetypes.
