Best DPS class in ESO
Based on our experience with the game, the best DPS class in ESO is the Magicka-based Night Blade build. We know not every player is interested in a class where most abilities and skills are focused around a single target, but hear us out.

Nightblade build focused around Magicka instead of Stamina and equipped with crafted light gear with Magicka enchantment and traits like Divine, Bloodthirsty, and others can work in both PvP and PvE scenarios.
Moreover, skills like the Twisting Path, Mystic Orb, Unstable Wall of Elements and others will let you deal with massive AoE-based damage for dealing with a group of enemies.
This makes the Nightblade class an S Tier single target DPS. However, some players don’t realise that Nightblade is a flexible class and that you can build it out as per your requirement.
For example, we used the Night Blade as a single target DPS by focusing more on skills like Concealed Weapon, Impale, Merciless Resolve, Dark Shade, and others.

We efficiently managed to tackle the PvE content though when it came to PvP, the low HP compared to other classes always required more skill and better execution of abilities to get wins against good players.
To make things even more fun and counter the low HP and other shortcomings, we switched to a Magicka Nightblade Vampire build which expanded the AoE and single target skills that we could use with normal Nightblade while giving other perks.
Apart from the Magicka Nightblade, Dragon Knight, Magicka Sorcerer, and Magicka Necromancer are also great DPS classes in ESO. Dragon Knight is a good DPS for both PvP and PvE, whereas the Magicka Sorcerer and Magicka Necromancer are great DPS classes though they shine more in PvE than PvP.
