i tend to make my builds without thinking of CP ... even for TF i just build like i would for a non CP campaign

Mjollo

Builds and CP don't make the player. The player makes the player. Proc sets, CP, and gear are just things you sprinkle on top to perfect yourselves but it's not considered a cake if it's just frosting and sprinkles in a bowl.

I used to sell a ton of lowbie gear and make upwards of 5k or more on purple items. That all went down hill around the halloween festival and I basically stopped trying after the new life festival. It's also been next to impossible to find lowbie gear since then in guild stores. Has anyone considered creating a tri-faction guild specifically for BWB level gear sales, or would anyone be interested in that?

Not sure if you seen my post, but I created one ( see my signature ).

We currently only have 9 players in it and we need 41 more to open shop. So all you BwB players contact me and join Just think of the time it might save you. You might even find enough gear to try different builds.

Also I don't want to spam zone chat in PvP, so please if you know someone who wants to join something like this, send them my way. I set the guild up that all members can invite their friends.

Please send me and invite @themortyouknow

The test is not going to affect me at all really. I play in all campaigns with most all divine gear ( no imp ). Who knows I might not get 1 shot as often

I know there are a lot of haters out there, but I personally like the idea of CP. It allows players to build their characters different than other players. People hate CP, poisons, proc set and almost everything else. I like them all.

One day I will sit down and really think about builds, who knows I might be op one day.

Having only like, 260 or so CP, I've never actually played on CP campaigns anyways. I have been playing a bit on AS lately, and will probably play there throughout the week since you seem to get a ton more AP there than in BWB anyways. Though honestly, I've been pretty burnt out from PVP in general lately, so I've been spending time casually leveling characters and farming gear (gear which I'll also be able to list in the BWB guild) so that when I feel like getting back into it, I'll have multiple PVP-ready characters to choose from.

Stridig

Just my opinion but I think CP's belong in PvE only. PvP should about skill and coordination. I played daily in AS when AS was THE vet campaign to play in. People still got destroyed but only because the person that destroyed them was a good player. I miss the old days when the "Elite" players had to be good.

@Stridig DEF agree with u man.... i remember first entering Cyro ( AS ) for my first ever PvP encounter, not knowing there was a non vet campaign and got my ass handed to me on a silver platter by a full on zerg .... looked like a tidal wave washed over me from the bridge ( i was completely alone with NO other dc around at the time )

Welp, tonight was pretty insane in BWB. Some scroll action, some huge zerg on zerg defenses and a lot, i mean, a LOT of AP!

Does anyone else find it interesting that a term, that references a real time strategy game first released in 1998, has weaved is way into the common game vernacular nearly 20 years later?

As a huge fan of that RTS, I certainly do.

Vurian97

We had been using the term 'Zerg' since 2008 in World of Warcraft. I remember even during Beta of ESO, that term was being used.

Hey Emily, message me when you can, I made guild today with that idea in mind, didn't realize you had too. What I had in mind though was to make a regular guild with a booth though. Let me know! We could merge the two.

Emily, I will take an invite please. @Kazi-Inu

I have played and loved them both. I could not choose one over the other.

it was very interesting bringing Dark Wolf reborn into BwB last night .... already at assault/support rank 4 from just an hour of playing lol .... got my ass handed to me often though due to being not geared out yet for pvp ( still wearing training gear ... no impen or anything ) .... looking forward to the real return of Dark Wolf ... once i reach my assault/support goal for him ill be taking him back out of pvp until he is ready ... A LOT of farming to do but should be VERY much worth it when he is ready

I'm very happy to just wear crafted sets. Farming for nonvet feels silly to me. I hate PvE, so I try to minimize it as much as possible.

And on that note, I'm really enjoying Haderus.

Honestly, the main reason I even bother with overland sets is because I'd be stuck wearing non-set jewelry otherwise. But then by the time I have 3 pieces of jewelry, getting the last two set pieces is so easy I figure I may as well benefit from an additional 5-piece bonus. My new technique is to start running dolmens about 5 levels before a new build is ready to head into Cyrodiil. Sure, there are faster ways to level than running dolmens, but they're still decent enough XP, and 5 levels worth of dolmens practically ensures I'll get at least some reasonable level/quality combination of the jewelry I want. Then getting the belt/boots is easy, as I just camp a delve boss and do stuff on my second monitor while I wait for the boss to respawn. This doesn't work as efficiently after a character has already outleveled a set of gear in Cyrodiil the first time since I don't actually need to level him anymore, but it does give me a chance to level some skill lines I may not get to level much while PVPing. Plus now I'm starting to get a decent enough collection of overland sets at various levels that I probably won't need to farm too many more in the future.

Also, you could always join the Blackwaters Merchant guild. We're still working on recruiting, but hopefully once we get some more members we'll have plenty of people selling their level 10-49 set pieces. I know I sure have a bunch of stuff to sell once we have enough members for a guild store.

I just ground my characters all in IC. You end up with enough key fragments that I have Willpower and Agility jewelry every 6 levels.

I've got a system wherein I use 1 crafted and 1 overland set. I'll decide before making a new toon what kind of gear combinations I want to try out, and then build the toon around it. Then I'll farm and test and tweak, figure out what works and what doesn't all the way to near vet lvl, and then roll the exact same toon again with adjustments from things I learned the first go round, then I have all the gear made and farmed already and can have some straight up good times without having to worry about farming or crafting. Repeat until I get another gear/race/class combo idea I want to try.

Oh and I am getting ready for Blackwaters Merchant, collecting all those non-vet pieces I couldn't sell in a standard trading guild, but were just too rare to decon. I've stowed a bunch away on my crafter and pve toons, so once we hit the target number of members, we ought to have a pretty well stocked store to begin with. I'll also be putting up spare crafting mats, bulk soul gems, and maybe even share my favorite tri-pot and tri-poison recipes!

Gederic

I have used an overland set once before in bwb and that was because at a dolmen I happened to randomly get a purple level 36 red mountain ring. So I figured why not finish out the set. Other than that I guess I have willpower at level 36 for all my mag toons, but crafted sets are tried and true and you can get new pieces whenever you want.

Enipfodnuos

I feel like BWB is a great place to try different set ups every few lvls. The nature of it leans towards experimentation IMO. I mean unless your aim is to roll noobs every lvl with the same maximized set up (which in my opinion does a diservice to PVP in general). Has anyone tried running ravager and hundings lately? At 12k a pop it's a lot easier to get what you need. I tried the setup in azuras yesterday and it rocked.

Adenoma

I more or less vary my skills and not my gear. I know that the gear that I have allows me to sustain to a certain point. Then I build around a skill-based plan.
