Post patch PVP questions and concerns

M4life

Hey guys,

I am currently playing a VR1 Stamina Nightblade and i have a few questions relating to my current state vs the VR16 experience.

As a VR1 my stats are rather interesting i have the following:
40k hp, 22k stamina, 20k magicka, 1100 stamina regen, 2100 weap dmg

For gear im using 5pc Hundings rage and 5pc Ravager.

And im using the stamina regen mundus stone.

But i do have some questions about my experience while pvping.

1. I feel like my damage is great but i feel like im a car running on empty, i have no stamina regen so after a few abilities im out.

2. Those who are VR15+ how was the transition from having SUPER HERO stats to being knocked back down to normal human level?

3. Its my opinion that engine guardian set is really an end all be all set. Like if i dont have it ill never succeed like someone who does have it. What are my options if i cant get my hands on Engine guardian set? How can i be as effective without the CRAZY regen that that set provides?

4. Those who are VR1-VR10 and dont really have whats considered great gear. How are u compensating for the lack of regen stats? More fully charged heavy attacks or what?

5. Is it just me or are the heals terrible now? It seems like rally which used to full heal me is doing nothing besides give me a dmg boost. Even vigor seems just MEH. It kinda seems like we are just walking punching bags taking dmg until we fall over.


Thanks for any responses. Also feel free to share your personal experiences in PVP post patch either at low VR rank or VR16.

Lots of truly insane players dont use engne guardian. Its a nice set to have for sure but its not necessary for pvp. Low ping rate and player skill do a LOT. I mean: legendary mage for example can reck people like a truck can reck a pigeon. He uses v15 gear atm and a lot of it is crafted... Dude has skills.

You have to have a way to mitigate or avoid damage. A way to heal yourself that is sufficient compared to your mitigation. Sustain can come from having high regen or just have good control over your resources.

A way to escape is always nice but not always possible. Streak and cloack are obvious. Temp and dk... Mistform I guess.

Synergy between skills is sooo important. Skills have to fit togheter in a combo. High burst dmg or sustainable dmg. There will always be fotm builds but there are lots of possibilities. You dont have to be everything by yourself. If you got some buddies you can work on a rotation as a group. You will have to change your build to the group then.

Burst heals suck yes. HOTs are sort of a thing now. Seen a dk build who uses vigor + rally + health regen (4k or so) and master sword with puncture ability. He has insane healing over time with heavy armor damage mitigation. No escape but he didnt have to have one. Slow moving fortress.

You are battle leveled. If u turn it off u can increase regen but with low level sets it wont be enough. With battle lvling you will do eniguh dmg. Only the fifth piece bonus works when battle lvled and not all of them. Only some traots work when battle lvled. Heavy armor is useless when battle lvled. Use 7med or 7light. Infused also does nothing. Impenetrable seems to work. Divines depends on your stone.

Can't you use regen pots instead of food for the regen? ,

@leepalmer95 You know what ive been so caught up in the maximum stat mentality that regen pots might be an interesting solution. An oversight on my part.

@iseko Right now i only have access to rally due to this being a new character i dont have assault rank 5 yet.

I feel like my build is relatively standard:
2h: surprise attack, ambush, executioner, rally, mass hysteria
bow: poison injection, piercing mark, shuffle, dark cloak, camo hunter(open spot should be vigor)
5 medium 2 heavy (only becuz at low vr level ravager set only comes in heavy armor but i prefer 7 medium)

thanks for the tips thought guys.

Heals seems bad because you're at 40k health, that's absurd. Your bar probably barely budges when you get healed... When you go down to 20k the heals will be just fine, if anything, they feel too good right now
