Which classes have a dynamite build in PvP?

Radburn

I'm fairly new to Cyrodiil and I heard ESO has the rock,paper,scissors style PvP where certain builds counter each other. Sounds fair.

Are there certain classes/builds in 1.6 that can be dynamite and blow up rock, paper, scissors (everything)? What are they?

Every class has a counter. However there are certain classes that dominate for solo/group play and certain classes that are underpowered.

In my opinion, the templar is useless unless you want to be a healer. NBs and Sorc are the kings of solo PvP and Magicka DKs are the best for group PvP.

That being said, a good player will succeed with any class. There are some really good templars that wreck most NBs. Your build and skill level has a lot to do with how well you do in PvP.

In my opinión, what do you want to do?

Once you have that question ready, you can decide which class suits you better. Then apply your own ideas to what you want to do.

The idea is to have fun with the build.

Stamina Templars can be absolute monsters in small group and solo PvP.

As long as you're not an RD spamming piece of fruitcake then all builds are fine. Just need to learn how to play them

I play a magicka Templar and by now I have learned my role is healing. Are you able to elaborate on the stamina Templar "monster" build? I'd like to put together a decent stamina dps build so I can be at the top of the food chain for once. I've been considering bow and 2 handed which seem like they would compliment each other.

RD is situational. Could be easily preloaded if target has incoming damage. But overall you sir are right. Im playing magicka templar, 2 different builds, depending on mood/grp setup or if im solo. 1 melee and 1 range oriented. Both melt stuff in all these 2-4vX fights!

If you are ONLY healing as a magicka templar, you are not as effective as you could be, as well, i would find it not-fun-to-play. Try different builds and item setups, stick to 1 build after you change it so you learn it, learn how to stay alive, counter enemies and such.

Right and we know there's no shortage of those running around.

To answer the OP question ,

All of the classes are only as good as the person playing them and they all have the potential to be good.

There are a lot of variables when it comes to builds so you just have to experiment.

Regardless of what you play , you will die one way or another because the damage output is extremely high.

Sorc and Nightblade are currently coming out ahead of DK and Temp in this version however there are ways for both DK and Temp to be beasts in PVP.

OH and while I'm here ,

Whoever the former EP Emperor Sorc is that was running around Chill last night , you have my respect as one of the hardest opponents I have come across. More than one group I was with one different occasions was completely destroyed by this guy . My hat is off to you sir.

I'm pretty sure I fought this guy last night and he's the reason I posted - He was dynamite. There were 3 other randoms and he danced around us without busting a sweat. He systematically took everyone down one by one until I was the only one left (I'm a healer) and then killed me. It was very demoralizing for me to see this happen, his health barely moved and he was destroying people within seconds.

This is what happens when you have a extremely skilled and well geared player facing off against (No offense to you) multiple unskilled players without a proper set of gear and abilities. Most of a character's power in ESO comes from the skill of the player behind the character.

The "Rock Paper Scissors" triangle style of counterplay does exist, but that doesn't factor in player skill. This is a case of a huge diamond bladed Scissors cutting through multiple tiny brittle rocks made of talc. The rock simply doesn't stand a chance, even though it's technically the hard counter. Now, if you had a equally large diamond hardness rock fighting against that scissors... well... Let's just say that being brutally murdered is an understatement.

NB is what is closest to your idea.

NB has the most "dynamite" imo. However there are no "sure things" here. In pvp its your own skill that governs how well you do in pvp. You can kill nbs as a templar np, its just the starting point and potential that changes per class.

Magicka Sorcs are great a dynamite if you beef up your spell dmg and put in the right champion points

This is the one piece of answer that should be given to all posters requesting the "king of the hill"-build.

Seriously, the amount of "what do I need to do to pwn everyone"-questions baffles me. No matter which overpowered build you chose, as a freshman you will never be as good as those with a year worth of pvp time to hone reflexes, learn the tells and counters and understand the meta.

Get in there, train your game, learn the things, then build what suits you best. Trying someone else's build may give you hints and starters, but it will not make you a good player.
