All that group does is stay stealthed and gank.

Also Sorc OP in the right hands. In the wrong hands its free AP for enemies. In the right hands, best AvA class right now, by a mile, imho.

If you´re into small grps 2 - 4 ppl i like nightblades better. More versatility to be found and the dmg is not as easy to shut down.

Shoutout to pixy for helping me as an upcoming OP sorcerer, gave me the tips to stack magic and now sitting at a clean 34k. Thanks! It's helped a ton ever since, nice video! until people learn they need to use a brain to counter sorc the qq will remain

cozmon3c_ESO

nice use of LoS, i bet most people wont see that, they will just think sorcs are OP.

one thing ive noticed with all you guys who make videos , is the constants. use of spell/weapon power pots.. thats nothing against you personally .

now whats the buff from those pots? 300 or something like that?

if it is its like having an extra set of MK or similar morag tong .. which is really significant.. i cant help but wonder how many of those fights you wouldn't look so uber if you wern't chugging pots to give you such a big chunk of extra damage all the time..

then in between those theres the tri pots as well . tri pots for try hards i guess. always gonna be try hards in every pvp game . but i actually hope when console comes round the console try hards dont adopt pot chugging.

they wont have all the combat addons telling them what to do and when , and most console try hards are used to not having to spam pots constantly .. they simply win or lose based on how they play.

We need all the pixyls! finish them.

Potion's got reworked in 1.6 to not stack with buffs. Tripots give 20% regen which is based on your build. They aren't giving us more damage, just resource management.

if you kill people a lot you get bags full of money to spend on gold gear and potions. I have 1 million gold and stacks of pots from pvping, should i just not used them out of some honor code? this is RVR, if you aren'y using a 45 second cooldown potion (that lasts for 40-45 seconds), your missing out.

I've only ever used tripots, so I don't really know what the buff is on the damage pots. The spell damage/weapon damage buff they give doesn't stack with Major Sorcery/Brutality though, which we get from using our own skills-- so it really wouldn't matter at all.

no i appreciate if you pvp like its your job ( hence the term try hards ) you may well have enough money rolling around to perma chug pots. i would hazzard a guess that most folk you kill are indeed missing out as you say by not blowing a stack of tri pots every hour or so..
This could be for a variety of reasons. perhaps they don't pvp like a pro for 8 hours a day and money is less plentiful. perhaps they are still trying to level up and save for those pricey morag tong, MK bits, perhaps and here's one to really get your head around they just are like " meh this is a game who gives a toss"

So be sure that most folk you kill while perma potioned up are indeed missing out on doing likewise

but to clarify, your saying tri pots only give regen? hmm i might not be the expert on game mechanics you seem to be but dont they drop like over 5k on all 3 resources instantly as well as the regen? thats pretty powerfull. lets sorcs keep blocking way longer than should be stricly possible with their zero points in stamina (pretty good for survival) drop a big self heal and top off their magika to let them keep pew pew , add the regen and its like a second ultimate button every 45 seconds,

now your saying weapon power /spell power pots done stack with buffs since 1.6 ? what does that mean exactly , ? your saying they dont stack with your armour buffs of just cast buffs like surge or molten (old molten) if they do stack with armour then they are indeed a huge buff.

if a pot adds 300 weapon / spell damage thats not a negligable amount , its fairly sizable.

but hey i,m not saying you guys shouldnt use them , do whatever makes you feel uber man , for me its a matter of principal. every MMO has had some form of consumables, they have them cos it lets them implement crafting of said things as well as being time/ money sinks that keep folk playing longer.

i just dont buy into it. ive got lots of money and all crafting profs maxed. stack of pots in the bank, that i never use. i sell some if i need money which hasn't occured much really. I just don't like being sucked into feeling it's necessary for me to have fun in pvp.

all i was doing was making an observation that every video one of you tryhards posts, features perma pots running, all the nice combat addons.. which imo i,ll be happy to see the back of on consoles , cos my experience of console pvp is that there even thr try hards don't feel the need for such things , they just go ahead and kill stuff and get better at it through practice knowing that when the die its cos they lost to a better player or when they win they won through being better, not cos they had access to unlimited pots , and addons shouting POTION READY

to make sure they dont go more thn a millisecond without a potion buffing them by a large amount.

How can you have 5 forum stars and know so little about the game? Terrifying thought that some people might listen to your input because they assume the stars represent credibility...

read "tryhard" as someone who plays the game and uses every tool/advantage in the game to come out on top.



Note also, you say no offense... but then use tryhards in a derogatory way.... I bolded examples of both your insane lack of understanding of the game (such as what buffs can/cannot stack) and where you are being basically exactly what you claim not to be.... insulting him. If you're wondering why you lose (and for some reason still think you're a better player) its because you don't even understand the mechanics of buff stacking, its not the pots my friend... at least you were right on one thing... you are indeed not an expert on this game so why are you commenting on a mechanic in game available to everyone, but clearly don't understand?

My favorite part is the whole: oh well on a matter of principle I don't use pots because I'm just a better player that gets through by practice. I mean no offense by this.... but you sound like a player that uses excuses as a crutch to me.


Further edits: You seem to feel for some reason or implying potions are unfair if your opponent isn't using them and that Pixy or others can do things that you normally couldn't without them. Guess what, potions are a mechanic in game and if you decide on "principle" to not use them, you are only hurting yourself. The whole point pixy is using tri pots is to make up for a deficiency in his build, by using pots he can focus other utility in his build on other things (such as your comment that he doesn't need to put any points into stamina because of his pots).... THATS THE WHOLE FREAKING POINT. This is PvP, if you decide to not use a mechanic in game thats your loss. It's like not wearing armor because its unfair if one guy has legendary gear compared to someone with green gear.... thats your fault, its an asinine point.

To be honest I don't think anyone actually looks at that stuff, if ZoS gave us the ability to at the very least see how much damage we do on each attack, without having to install an addon-- I doubt anyone would even use Combat Cloud (the addon that says the commands on the screen is the same addon that shows how much damage you're doing).

He also seems to not understand you can readily see when potion is off cooldown without an addon....

Looks pretty awesome so far man. The best part is all the terribads out there who are going to say the video is obviously proof that sorcs need nerfed......despite the fact you're fighting 3 other sorcs in a 3 on 1 (with streak it should be noted). These guys wouldn't know skill if it hit them upside the face (which in fact it does a few seconds before they're mounting their horse....again).

Clearly the only thing that needs nerfed are those those rocks! So OP.

I want to play the next Huntler MMO.

This is one of the same guys posting in all the Nerf Sorc threads too. I don't know what I'd do without my addons telling me what to do all the time. Crap! Someone is beaming me, WHAT DooOO!!!??

Sry sir, I retired my costume until Kaghei/Permared/Manoekin/Jaegermeister/Krim/Fireshot come back to the game.

This is concrete evidence that sorcs need to be nerfed. Initiate nerfing.

Yeah, I love Streak even though you're at a disadvantage with it when fighting other sorcs that use BoL (which all 3 of them were using), and they were all using 1h and shields too, lol.

WB Pixi, can't wait to see the rest
