STRONGEST CLASS IN PVP? (POLL)
-
Sylveria_Relden✭✭✭✭DRAGONKNIGHTI find it really laughable we had a sudden increase in people voting NB.
I'd be willing to bet if we researched each user's previous posts in the forums we'd find they mainly play Sorc or DK and just want to deflect because they know damn well their class is OP. If there wasn't a "naming and shaming" clause in the forums I'd do just that and call people out on their BS.
Feel free to investigate for yourselves, however

70% of the population is a) standart sorc or b) 2h/bow NB.
Just my experiences. I am happy to meet DKs or templars. Last one is a freekill, DKs are like an important moment while doing a sightseeingtour through Cyrodil (like "wow, die you See this? The whole world is talking about that OP DK and there is one!").
Now serious: numbers of sorcs/stam NBs is extremly increased. I wonder why.... Yes, because MMO player usually play strong builds. In EU many DKs rerolled a sorc. I could name many high ranked DKs that rerolled because DK is not the Terminator anymore.1 -

I noticed this too. There's a rather large amount of previously god-like Dragon Knights that now run teleport around as a Sorcerer, while the amount of Magicka Nightblades that switched to Stamina just disheartens me.Sylveria_Relden wrote: »I find it really laughable we had a sudden increase in people voting NB.

Yeah, but there are a few magica NB out there, cudos to them!
Not seen a stamina Sorc in ages, if i see someone cudo to you haha.
Stamina NB and magica Sorcs are the easy to win choise atm. Not sure how zenimax balanced things, but this went on for long now.

Confirmed. This is a conspiracy against nightblades.

✭✭DRAGONKNIGHTIt's funny how the results of this poll have changed over the weeks. I remember looking at it not so long ago and seeing sorcs and NB's tied for the lead. Now it appears DK's are making a comeback.
All in all it says something that there's not a unanimous decision. I'm sure in previous patches 80-90% might say X class is most OP. The fact that people are split on which class is best means that we are slowly moving toward balance.1 -

Stamina NB - 2hander/bow - is the currently strongest class in PvP. Basically you just need 3 main skills - crit charge/wrecking blow/rally and dodge roll a lot.
current pvp populations are from most played to least played are : NB, Sorc, Templar, DK.
Ya we need a lol button.

An "AoE Staff"?
