I have a silly pvp video montage for people to watch! I'm not the best, but I think I captured some good fights. Hope you guys like it.

how can you not play with out health bars over peoples heads? you have no idea who is low health targets.

The biggest thing that stands out to me is that you don't use crushing shock very much, though it's on your bar.

Anyways, practice makes perfect! Keep it up (:

Good tip. I never really thought about it, yeah? I guess I don't play in groups very often so any low health is caused by me, so I know who needs to get some killing.

Thanks for the advice. I wouldn't even be this good without help from you and @Germantrocity. The only reason I can fathom for not using it very often is the abundance of gank fights I have with nightblades. Not sure if there are more of them, or if it's just luck to come across so many. It's hard to keep pressure dps on someone you can't hit, so I try to conserve magicka for the inevitable hard hits that will come my way. I get so use to it that I forget how great it can be for every other class.

Well, you use streak, so you can definitely use if offensively more towards those NBs, since that's what you seem to be saying you have most trouble with. I noticed you charge full heavy attacks often, I would just weave light attacks into crushing shock more, as you'll do more damage with it. For NBs I typically keep a curse on them, and try to make sure I streak through them as much as possible to keep pressure on their resources since they try to cloak off. Seriously though, crushing shock = love (:

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the video.

Like was said already, use Crushing Shock more often maybe.
It often looks as if you don't really have a plan how to kill your opponent, you use Fury when they're at 70% and no burst in sight, you use time to load several heavy attacks in a row, you have Magicka Detonation and Curse, but you rarely stack them (having them on the same bar would make that easier, too).

Animation canceling/weaving could be better, it seems overall a bit clunky, how you just stand somewhere, not moving a lot, nor zoning with Mines, Atronach, Lightning Flood etc. (don't take that as a suggestion to use those skills though, just an example). You look very vulnerable to me most of the time.

Was that your standard Overload bar in the fight with the NB?
You sure don't need Bolt Escape there?

I think you roll dodge too much, your build can't really handle that. You don't seem to have much reduction on the stamina you spend and only a bit over 600 stamina regen.

About the heavy attacks again - there's 3 reasons why I would use a fully charged heavy attack: To assist my burst (I saw that one a few times in the video I believe), to restore magicka (heavy resto attacks then) or to make use of a LOS object, loading a heavy attack behind it and hit some chaser with that + Fragments or Crushing Shock completely unaware. otherwise I just weave light or medium attacks with my skills.

Hoping for more videos from you!
