Help me get better

Kozer · July 2015

Heya folks. So I completed my first campaign on xbox last night. I was pretty happy with how I did. But I am looking to up my game now and so I come to you guys.

I am a level 38 DragonKnight. I currently run with 1 bar set to melee with a 1h and shield. Use charge and what not. And my second bar is setup for magic use. I have really been enjoying running that bar. I have the first destro skill, Entropy and the morphed magelight. Green dragon blood the speed boost and leap ability for my ult. I kinda want to make this build better. Sword and board has faded for me and I want to enjoy magic more while still kicking ass as needed up close.

Learn me well my fellow pvpers. Thank you in advance.

What alliance? And when you die, can you reflect on what happened? Kind of hard to critique off of just a description. Builds are good, but take a backseat to your actual usage of your character. It sounds like you have a versatile build, I think that is key really, to have stuff for offense, healing, stuns, survivability, escape/gap closer etc

I actually just changed from having any melee to pure magic. I have the same damage setup from above but now I have a healing bar as well. Its super fun too. Never thought I would enjoy healing as a dragon knight but I am!

I'd say, just analyze every time when you kill someone, or you die. What was skills that killed you, how to counter them and what were the skills that you used to kill someone.

Max out skills, use different gear sets, switch abilities and play. And it helps a lot if you have right race for your class, so you can benefit from racial passives.

Just analyze an practice.

Roll a Sorcerer.
Learn the Sorcerer specific exploits.
Wear a lot of Nirnhoned armor.
Congratulations, you just got better!

Roll a Nightblade.
Get a Sharpened Mace and put a single point into the Champion skill for armor penetration.
Wear a lot of Nirnhoned armor.
Congratulations, you just got better!

This works for the other classes too, but they aren't nearly as ridiculous as these two examples.

Yep yep. The most important thing when it comes to getting better is not what abilities you use, but knowing what abilities your enemies are using against you, and how to counter them.

If you have Nvidia card, i suggest you install their geforce experience software. It comes with a feature called Shadowplay. This continually records the last 5 minutes(configurable) of your gameplay, and you can save the clip at any time to review later. Everytime you lose a fight(or win, if you aren't sure why you won), save the clip, then watch it, learning what caused the outcome.

Magma shell ultimate make you immortal for 13 seconds (with the passive)
fossilize and/or cinder storm is another dk great skill
move from inner light to flames of oblivion asap
use flame staff with crushing shock + elemental drain

Man i wish i'd knew that earlier. Could have recorded so many kills that seemed impossible to do.

Hey guys. So update time.

I hit VR 1 last night. This is after doing ntohing but pvp for like 20 levels. I had a blast.

I am currently running my pvp setup which is a 2h with a resto back up. Will be switching to a 2h and a sword and board for tanking purposes. I re-did my attribute points and put 5 into magic just for a little extra. 10 into health to get to 18k and the rest into stam. I think its at 34 right now. Or 35. Maths.

Anyway I am still having fun and will continue to play. Now just trying to figure out my nightblade!
