Which class is the easiest for you to kill?

JDar

Nightblades

I'm convinced this is why people hate Nightblade cloak. It deprives them of an easy kill, and waaah I want my AP juice. Nobody ever got Dark Cloak on their death recap. Or Mass Hysteria for that matter. Over 50% answered nightblades are easist to kill, yet people think Nightblades are OP...people will QQ about anything.

Sorcerers

Bad sorcs are the easiest bad players to kill, in 1v1 or 1vX. Good sorcs are probably the hardest good players to kill in 1v1. Hopefully 90% of players are terrible.

Dragon Knights

DKs

Of all the "kill 20 of class x" quests, the "kill 20 Dragonknights" quest is by far the one that I can complete the fastest

iseko

Nightblades

Im a templar. Glass cannon builds are easiest. Usually that means nightblades

Soris

Dragon Knights

Vs randoms, bow NBs are easy kill.
Vs duelers, DKs and Templars are easier than the other 2. Im templar as well. This was the same since 1.0. Still same after 1.6.
Because Templar > DK in 1v1.
edit/ Umm this maybe not true since 1.6, bcs blazing shield is crap. But still they are much easier than NB and Sorc.

Teargrants

Nightblades

NBs, technically my most killed class, but by far the most dangerous.

Derra

Sorcerers

These days about every sorc i meet (apart from the handful of good ones that played the char before the 1.6 hype) is an absolute joke to kill.
They´re followed by nightblades but cloak against a projectile build is a stronger defense mechanism than shields so...

Most Templars and DKs that are not running in grps know how to play their class or atleast know how to survive until help arrives by now.

Sorcerers

its easy, as a sorc, to identify bad sorc players and take them out

Sorcerers

Wow I'm one of the few who said sorcs. I mean, they hit like a truck and camp mines, but as soon as corrosive armor is up I flip them like I did this morning's omelette.

Of course there are those who absolutely destroy me, but DK's are tanky. NB's are invisible. And templars are scarce and also normally tanky. I actually target sorcs over everything else.

Same here. There have too many times where my impatient self has rode to a keep defense on a stamina-drained mount and been wrecked before I can get up off the ground. I have been running around more on foot lately, with my detect pots handy.

Hmmm Corrosive Armor shouldn't be helping ya kill Sorcs easy

Shields have no Mitigation..so the armor debuff on Corrosive is useless against those

And if they're in Light armor, and you're using Sharpened + 2 handed Mace, you pretty much ignore all their armor anyway

Samadhi

Depends on the build my character is running at the time.

High sustain/low burst combination with Detection potions when fighting good players: Nightblade is the easiest for me followed by Dragonknight then Templar then Sorcerer.

High burst build with no Detection potions when fighting good players: Sorcerer is the easiest for me, followed by Nightblade then Templar then Dragonknight.

Perspective comes from playing as Templar/Sorcerer/Nightblade -- still need more time on my Dragonknight to get a real sense of where my performance is strong compared to where it could stand to improve.

Bane_of_Fringe

Honestly, stamina builds with my main. Concealed weapon going though dodge is the reason. In general players that aren't as good as somebody else end up dying to the other guy, regardless of class.

Like most people have said, NB players that are poorly played are the easiest to drop, mostly because they lack the survivability of other classes. A bad DK can hold block and spam GDB etc and can still look better than the NB who roll dodges once, or not at all..has no shields as magicka NB etc.

Think he is referring to the protection it offers.

That makes even less sense, since most of them will flat out bolt escape away the second you pop it making it wasted, the damage shield morph of dragon leap would give ya a huge absorb shield and a bloody high burst move that cost almost half as much as corrosive

Basically zero reason to use corrosive over it.

Septimus_Magna

Templars

Magicka Templars for me because its easy to drain their stamina, NBs also die quickly if they dont dodge my Cfrags. DKs reflect most of my spells so they are most resilient against my damage. Sorcs tend to run so they're usually hard to kill but if you manage to lock them down they die quickly.

Yeah on my NB I find NBs are the easiest kill as well. Peircing mark and wrecking blow spam through their dodge. Of course then again it comes back to my belief that the majority of bad players picked nightblade.

Come on now, not all NB are baddies. ^^

Satiar

DKs have been easiest for me to Kill for a long time. So many baddies rerolleed DK in the day.

cozmon3c_ESO

Not sure, all are hard as hell to kill when in the hands of a good player!

But potatoes of any class are by far the easiest to kill.

RinaldoGandolphi

All classes can be hard to kill in the hands of a player who knows how to use them.

Snit

Anyone who doesn't dodge-roll or Reflect Overload and Frag Procs

InvictoNZ

Nightblades

FailBlade

or

Any baddie playing a vampire.

Davadin

Dragon Knights

Unless they have Jesus beam lock and loaded, Templar.

Unless they find us first (from stealth), NB.

Unless they have enough Magicka to Bolt Escape a dozen times, Sorc.

Unless they have decent level of intellect, DK.



Overall answer, it depends.

If you're a sorc I'd love to 1v1 you

And I use it to get through the mines buddy. We'll see how much sense it doesn't make.

Maulkin

I kinda echo what @teargrants has said, which is essentially that the question "who is the easiest to kill" does not give the full picture at all. It's a meaningless question

Vast majority of DKs and Templars I see these days run heavy armor magicka builds and play in groups. Due to their tanky setup, even if you isolate them they can be an absolute pain (many times completely impossible) to kill. On the flipside for my Sorc to get killed by one of those individually, I pretty much have to go brain afk. I can either tank their low damage with shields or BoL away if they are proving rather pesky.

Sorcs and NBs are by far more lethal and also squishier as a result. Imo NBs are more potent as they have equal burst to Sorcs but they also have the element of surprise burst that comes with the stealthy playstyle and a great CC in fear. Their mitigation is usually dodge roll and cloaks but if you nail them they die quick.

Sorcs are kinda more in you face than NBs with their kite/bait/shieldtank playstyle and they can also extricate better than anyone with BoL. However, pretty much like the NBs, they are very prone to dying from damage bursts and they are susceptible to CC due to low stamina pools/regen. However many shields I stack as a Sorc, I can still die to 1" burst from a good NB if surprised.

TL;DR; Templars and DKs harder to kill. Sorcs and NBs are easier to kill but far, far more dangerous than the other two

OdinForge

Nightblades

NB are pretty easy, i have 0 attacks that go through dodge roll. If I'm fighting a stamina NB i know their MO, i only focus them when they move on me. If it's a magicka NB i watch my magicka and play a bit more aggressively, making sure i don't lose them to a purge. The only thing that makes them hard to kill for a magicka user is nirn, magicka users will just assume NB that don't run nirn are bads.

Templar is the second easiest, even the tough ones. The most dangerous aspect about a Templar is that some can do some serious damage in a short time.

It's a toss up between Sorc and DK for the hardest to kill, Sorc is especially dangerous when sitting in mines casting curse and detonation. Stamina DK are like stamina NB, focus them only when they go to attack. Roll dodge through them as chances are they're using wrecking blow. Magicka DK can be pretty tough, one of two instances where i justify mapping mass hysteria. Fighting both magicka DK and magicka Sorc isn't easy without nirn armor though.

New players to all classes can be easy kills.

Rylana

The easiest class for me to kill are the FOTM "super sorcs" that got a hot build from someone that had a clue, and die in 2 seconds to hardcast crystal frags because they think they are immortal via build alone and never learned that Sorc is actually a pretty hard class to play well.

Experience wins, chumps.
