Any good solo player in pvp with 300+ ping?

TheDarkShadow

Could you share some tips or build for solo player that work with high latency? I've seen many good builds, but things seem very different when you play with at least 320-350 ping, specially with melee builds. I rarely hit a moving target with melee skills (or maybe because I need more practise?). My mag blade is ok with scouting/supporting group, but when my faction is dead, the other faction farm group running around our resource and the elites abandon pugs, I can't find any fun any more and bored to log off. I don't join groups because reasons. I just want to roam solo and 1vs1 decent players and ganker with around 50% chance to win when the map is dead. So just wonder is it possible to do that with this ping and I need better build and more practise, or is it just hopeless and I should just log off when map is dead?

Maybe pair up with a friend and find a spot for ganking on the other side of the nearest enemy keep.

Sometimes my ping is around 150, but sometimes it climbs over 300 and my frame rate is usually in the single digits around large keep battles. I find it's not so bad if I stay far away from keeps.

Later when there are few people online, latency improves a lot and you can often find solo enemy players up for 1v1 duels, etc.

I play as a Stamina Templar and I generally do pretty well, I win more duels than I lose but I'm playing with a ping of at least 420 and that makes it very difficult.

It never used to be like this... 3 weeks ago I had a manageable 250 ping... I don't know what has happened since then but I can speculate.

Ive played with 260-300 ping since PC release. Even with high ping you can still be competitive, you just need to practice (If you play a melee build do your best to stay literally on top of the other player to avoid missing, using gap closers etc). Running a tanky build is easiest for high ping, but you can still run a glassy solo build successfully if you know what you are doing. In duels against highly skilled players you will be at a slight disadvantage. Just make sure your connection is wired (as opposed to wireless) to avoid any extra lag.

Also most of the time when you get unplayable lag all other players will be experiencing it to (mainly during US peak hours) so its not always your connection, ESO pvp can be unstable at times.

Thank you, I'll keep praticing. As a NB I can "stay on top of target" easily by spamming ambush/lotus, but I thing it kind of cheatting so I try not to spam it more than twice back to back.

I play from Spain. Ping is horribel, 200-240 lowest and up to over 9k on zergs, peak hours. I was in Legends doing duels even on wifi but yea, if you are at 300+ on a stam nb, just get a bow with camo hunter and have fun

Yeah, I do have fun when there are pugs vs pugs or smaller raid vs raid, with bow on stam blade and support build on mag blade. Cyrodiil to me is most fun when a bunches of pugs pushing back and forth 2 objects, trying to siege and def and fight in open field, or several small groups taking objects and play strategy. I can go scout around, give value information and help defending keeps. But once 1 side become OP, start to form up a huge raid, or even worse, a ball raid, and crush the other side, things start to go down hill. FPS and ping go ***, enemy ball group running around our resource, the elites small groups abandon the pugs and go farm alone else where, and the pugs log off after being t-bag so bad. Sometime I log in in those unfortunate times and have nothing to do. I really want to find a good build to roam solo in those cases.

Are you connecting to eso na server? If so using battleping texus server 3 or 7 will give you 200 ping. Having lots of add onns active can actually raise your ping and fps so try disable for pvp.
