Best Class/Build for 1v1 Duelling (Update 7)

Cyrediath

I'm playing eso for 3 months I have vet7 nightblade stamina, vet1 dragonknight magicka and lvl30 sorcerer. I've played with them in both non-veteran and veteran cyrodiil. I still couldn't decide I've watched all videos on youtube and read almost all topics about dueling and people keep saying there is no best class in eso etc but there is! if 1 skill can hit 6k and other hit 5.9k , 6k is better.! (Min max situation)

I really like my nightblade but it has 9k hp on vet7 and sorcerers are hitting 16k with just crystal fragments! I can only hit them around 5k if I hit them from stealth with all buffs. Nightblades have nothing compared to sorcerers hardened ward and shields and dk's heals and defensive skills.

So what do you think which class/build is the best for duelling 1v1?

Cyrediath

Also Nightblade seems lack of cc compared to sorcerers and dragonknights. They have only mass hysteria that you can use effectively while dueling.

Yes, nightblades, especially stamina, are the worst atm. Squishy (cant afford nirn), no reliable escape, no burst damage and no cc.

why dont you agree o.o Do you vote for stamina nb for best duel class/build?

I love mt.nobody btw

You can't even have 9k HP in pvp man.. and 5k isn' a real number, i hit people for 14-15k wrecking blow if hidden and my NB is a vet7 too

Cyrediath

5k is real number all of my items have stamina buff on it. Every skill can be morphen into stamina, already morphed. I dont know my hp in cyrodiil its 9k outside and its around 12-14 in cyrodiil but I die with just 1 crystal fragment.

But the point is which classes/builds do you suggets for 1v1 duels. I can't even sleep lol

As far as I can see sorcerers are really good for dueling because of hardened ward and shield stacking also healing from skill line with crystal fragment and bolt escape.

Nb has great damage only if it comes from stealth.. In duel sorcerer can break his stealth pretty easy or even a detection potion will do the work. So what do you say?

1. magicka sorc with destro/resto
2. stam nb with 2h/bow or 2h/dw
3. magicka dk, stam dk , stam templar
4. magicka templar.
9. stam sorc

No one has even played with the new cyrodil changes. Also plenty of other skill changes may occur... tread is pointless because the new set's could make hyrid builds shine for all we know.

Wait till youtuber's hit the pts and see what really is up.

Hmm from stealth I can 3 shot a sorc pretty easy while keeping him cc'd, but if you think MH is the only cc meh.

well you can explain what cc's you are using. I see a problem here. I share what I know and seek help on forums for duel builds and classes but people are just critizes my tought and doesnt give any information.

You dont have to create anything ~ All you have to do is to aim for 2k+ stamina regen and 2k+ weapon damage. And use your class abilities. And mash buttons, as fast as u can. As for example, teleport strike -> Light Attack - > Fear -> Light attack -> Surprising attacks cancelled by Light attacks. Just mash ur light attack button and class abilities, oh and i forgot to mention, dodge roll from time to time if ure fighting a sorc or being outnumbered. Stamina nightblade currently is the easiest and most rewarding class to play. Ow, and dont forget to nirnhorn your crafted armor pieces, 1 month of OPness remaining.
