I need a pvp mentor to teach me the ways of the dark side :)

wraithguknub18_ESO

I need to l2p. Need a pvp mentor (EP) to help me out and teach me not to get used like a girl scout walking in the hood at midnight screaming free drugs.

That being said. Please commence to making fun of me now

thank you

Sypher

18/M you?

jkirchner71ub17_ESO2

There is LOTS of good videos out there that can help some in terms of builds and gear, not to mention these forums. BUT a lot of your learning will come from playing with an experienced organized guild. There is a lot to learn but that is part of the fun of it imho. Knowing what siege is optimal for what, what skills are essential (even those outside your class skills), learning the lay of the land, how to counter things like oil and ultimates, what armor sets are best for your class and build, what addons to install to make your life easier, etc. Check around EP has some very well known and respected organized PvP guilds.

Whisper or mail @Vortexman11 in game, he's a very tanky DK on the EP side. Can teach you everything you need to know, like how to kill me!

Insurrektion

Yea I kinda need some help too. I have at best a loose grasp of game mechanics. I still only know a fraction of everything there is to know, and if I knew even have of what I know now when I commited to leveling my first toon, I'd have made at least 1 critical change.

Speaking of which, when are we going to be able to change the race of characters that are already made?

So if any of my DC brethren would like to teach me, feel free to hit me up.

If you're on NA server, look up Hijinx. I don't play EP (Only against them;) but they are most worthy adversaries. @Agrippa_Invisus‌ is the man to speak too.

If you're on the NA server, I would recommend No Mercy Barracks. It's their open-invite guild where you will meet other players keen on PvP and is a pathway to the No Mercy guild itself, they can teach you everything about PvP.

@Braidas‌, amiright?

If you happen to be based in the oceanic region i'd be more than happy to show you the ropes

If you're NA EP Thornblade it's actually very very simple.

1. Defend the scrolls when the gates open.
2. Sejanus is all that matters, except the scrolls.

Scrolls > Sejanus > whatever

Alesia is evil and there's nothing worthy there. Don't cross the bridge and be ready to defend Sejanus when the Bees show up.

Leave Bleakers for the Smurfs and stop messing up. We can't fight both Smurfs and Bees so leave the blues alone.

We're mostly solo and just heal, heal and heal, repair walls, heal, repair walls, heal, heal, heal, heal, run out of magicka, heal, heal, repair walls, run out of magicka and die when the Skeleton train arrives.

We have around 400 Leaders, may be 600, not sure about the right number. The remaining Pact players defend Sejanus, hard, without leaders.

I can teach you what I'm best at, which is going over corpses that other people have killed and doing /sweep.

I quite often get rage tells when they realise I don't have a single strike against
them on their death recap.

This thread is a good starting point while you're waiting for a mentor. Although it doesn't cover every point in PvP, especially the finer details.

wraithguknub18_ESO

Ive been trying to pvp on and off and frankly getting over run by 10k people is rather frustrating. I ran with Hijinx the other day. The hands down most "professional" bunch of guys I have run with. I would LOVE to run with them all the time.
Ill look up Hijinx today. Thanks.

If you need a mentor I'd advise picking one from the opposite side. There is only so many things people can tell you. If you're on TS with someone else they can *show* you. I've trained a few people this way and find it much easier doing so with people of the opposite faction.

Ezareth can only teach you the art of running.

Let me summarize.

Max your magicka. Max your magicka regen. Stack your shields.

1. Initiate mage fury spam.
2. Someone looks your way? Bolt escape 4 times the other way (if you're on your period and feeling especially jittery, go for 6 times for good measure)

3. Initiate dark exchange for magicka.
4. Look to see if anyone followed you. If not move back towards the real fight. If someone did follow, Go back to step 2
5. When you feel like someone has spent sufficient stamina/magicka chasing you, turn around and check their class. If it's a DK, go back to step 2, if not, continue to step 6
6. Check their level, if they're vr14, consider going to step 2
7. Check their name, if they're anyone worth their salt, immediately go to step 2, if not, go to step 1 with mage fury spam and hope that low damaging skill can bring someone's hp low enough for the execute to proc

Note: if at any point during this logic flow your hp drops below 80%, immediately go to step 2. In addition, if your mom screams from upstairs that it's time for dinner, use step 2 to get somewhere safe, make sure to rub yourself to a picture of your car with a personalized vanity license plate with your in game name (cause it's only a game), and run upstairs to your mom and tell her you love her for buying you that car.

It seems as though you have written the EP manifesto by which we all play. Well done sir. Well done.

Just put blazing shield in all 10 slots and you'll be good to go.

My guild is doing mentoring/ training now. You should roll a Dc character. Pm me if interested, we have some really good players for all classes. Must be 18+ though.

L2P! Use counters, Roll out of it, and Block. There you go, 6months worth of PvP advice from numerous threads consolidated into one sentence.

A few Sun Tzu quotes that may help with your Art

“What the ancients called a clever fighter Dragonknight is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.”

“He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious is a Nightblade.”

“One may know how to conquer without being able to do it." L2P

“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain." Rapid maneouvre, blob on the crown, fire-ring on the objective.*

“Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.” Attack from stealth always crits.

“The wise warrior avoids the battle aces the def tick.”

*Seems even the master himself approved of zergs

It was about big shields though. The world exploded because my shield is big.
I want to formally append "Big Shield" to my titles list. You all are my witnesses.

As Hova can teach you the art of destro spam.

Step 1: Batswarm
Step 2: Impulse
Step 3: Self-Explanatory

Oh and if you're ever overwhelmed, just resort to Step 1 to save yourself.
EDIT: Optional Step 2.5: Throw a little Elemental Blockcade in the Impulse spam mix.
