Tips and advice

My dmg in PvP is finally at a point that I'm happy with. I even have a group build with my stam DK that is a lot of fun. However, one of my main issues tends to be my 1v1s were it feels like in most cases everyone I fight is zipping around me and I'm trying my hardest to just line of site them to attack. meanwhile I'm getting blasted by whatever combo they are running. If I CC someone they instantly break and are healed and on me like white on rice. Any tips to be able to push harder to have more control of the fights.

I feel like blocking is the weakest part of my gameplay. But if I catch someone and land my burst they drop! It's just hard to catch players specially when it feels like there mobility is so much better than mine.

Something to note I have been away from PVP for awhile focusing more on my PvE gearing and toon skill up. But I am ready to blast it back into cyrodiil now!

Odd thing to mention as an issue. Did you make sure you zoomed your camera all the way out? (Hold down on the d pad and use R3 to adjust zoom preference).

And sorry no tips for stam. I only run magicka. Good luck to you.

What does your bars look like (front / backbar) - weapon and skills.

What is your burst combo?

A Stam DK should not have any major mobility issues. You have immunity to Snares (Shuffle) and can sprint / pop speed potion or use Retreating Maneuver to get that speed buff.

Use Immovable Speed Potions. They work like a charm. Make sure to pop them after a CC cool down or before a CC cool down, otherwise you're wasting your 4 second CC break timer.

Seems me swapping to controller was the culprit!

I blew my wrists out doing vma and have been learning how to play with a controller. Even with everything maxed my rotational view and footing is inferior to mouse and keyboard.

So PvP I will just have to run it with mouse/keyboard.

Reaction time or dexterity issue perhaps? Practice will help regardless of the actual issue. Join your platform's dueling guild.
