Individual EP players? ..umm None really come to mind yet, a lot of those EP players that are smart tend to stay in groups and don't small scale. The players you mentioned tend to excel more in small scale.

@Takes-No-Prisoner get a chance to play around on that build yet?

@wazzz56 I have not found all the pieces I need yet

@TequilaFire I saw you too today with your guild mates AD was wondering where you guys have been

what do you need?

I would have to go check next time i get on

That guy t3hdubzy is amazing.... lol

I try and avoid copying builds, and i only enjoy playing my nightblades, so doubtful id ever get the fame of those folks mentioned.

Takes-No-Prisoner · April 2017

I am the same way too, but if it is a build from someone I know, it feels less awkward. I just hate copy pasta'ing from someone else's idea and I don't know them.

cool, let me know, I have a bunch of transmutation stuff laying about...also here is a very laggy video of the build in action...well half of it seeing as I could not swap bars...and had my resto staff on my back and no weapons in my hand while on s/b bar....

Holy cow great video.

I raise you my video. We were camping blue when yellow decided they had the same idea.

awesome video

I love farming blue there! I have some awesome videos of it somewhere....it is like some people do not understand that you do not have to keep coming back and getting killed

Hey @geonsocal I waved at ya last night at Kingscrest, I believe

Serious question for those on DC and AD - I've only ever played EP and I'm curious... As an EP player there are certain players on AD and/orDC who, when you see them in battle, you know you have a problem on your hands. I don't have all the gamer tags handy, but gooch, rusty, thisisme, santos, str8killer, junebuggy, dynasty - all IMHO players with amazing builds who can either tank their way through anything, or do a ton of damage.

My question is - are there EP players that stand out in that regard to DC and AD players? I know I don't - I get wrecked so much it's laughable - but looking from "the other side" are there EP gamers that carry that same sort of reputation? Anyone you run into that you think "uh oh - this may not end well"

for me on red it is alabamafan, strikey, peaceonelove among others

I've not been playing as much lately but I spent most of the weekend in PVP. Must say I had a blast except I'm finding it hard getting into groups, and I really prefer the banter of team play.

I'm a pariah lol.

Aw come on you guys, you know when the Warriors are on! lmao

thanks hubzee

ever spend the whole day thinking about builds...

Edit: I know it's dumb to use DKS when rally can do the same exact thing...using a crafted set like hundings makes life so much easier...

I'll check to see what spriggans gear I have stored away...

And yes ive sent days and time in excel theory crafting. Ive also spend countless hours and time building and buying gear that ended up just failing. Lol

ended up going with spriggans:
Spriggan's Thorns Set
(2 items) Adds 967 Max Stamina
(3 items) Adds 967 Max Stamina
(4 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(5 items) Adds 4000 Physical Penetration

and the archers mind sets:
Archer's Mind Set
(2 items) Adds 967 Max Stamina
(3 items) Adds 688 Weapon Critical
(4 items) Adds 688 Weapon Critical
(5 items) Increases your Critical Damage done by 5%. Increases your Critical Damage done by an additional 10% when attacking from Sneak or invisibility.

re-glyphed to add a little more health and weapon damage...needed to buy everything, but, was able to pick it all up for around 60k...

i still have low health (around 15k) and weapon damage (around 1.9k)...i'm hoping between my crit % (around 60%) and shadowy disguise i can continually proc the archer's mind set to put some damage on folks (also boosted my crit damage output within the cp tree)...

dragging him through some public dungeons now to get it to work...man, this gearing up stuff is hard work

I have a build for you if you are looking for pure damage and crit....will get you upwards of 4k weapon damage and I had 75% crit on my khajiit with it
...33k stam, decent health 1500 stam regen

other than playing with hubzee for a bit - i don't think I've played in a group for months...

I'm not quite sure what's wrong with me - but, unless I'm in IC or doing the undaunted pledges, I run from groups...

I do play from time to time with a buddy out in orlando...been friends since junior high...it's more about us just spending time talking crap though...

he's a decent player but drives me nuts when we do the undaunted pledges - he brings in non-combat pets (ugh) and has all 3 roles selected...

i try to explain to him what the 3 roles mean (not that i'm mister dungeon guy), but he's like - i can heal, i'm hard to kill and i can kill stuff...so, I can do all the roles

we do okay together in cyro - although both of us are mostly 'do your own thing' type people...still drives me nuts that he doesn't always stay in stealth...

that being said - if any of you all are running solo and need a shadow, just send me a whisper and let me know...

From the sounds of it, it was people exploiting during the double AP event. Judging by the original thread title.

yeah i tried to lead the charge by using /yell and trying hard not to be overly obnoxious, but if we didn't have call outs we all could of gotten over run by the red/blue armies.

And there were A LOT of that.

probably the best thing about having eight active characters - i never get bored...most challenging things - remembering everyone's rotation and playstyle and gearing them up...

brought my magblade into IC, where any flaws to your build are quickly revealed...

trouble is - my breton magblade used to be a stamblade, so I had to completely re-gear him...right now he's wearing willpower, VD (mostly useless in IC, cuz of all the small scale action) and 3/4 (dual wield) magnus' gift...

this definitely ain't cutting it (sometimes I think you can fight in your drawers and still do okay in most pve/cyrodiil situations)...doesn't work though in dungeons and IC...

I'm gonna put on 2 medium pieces (monster pieces), julianos (dual wield), and either spinners or treasure hunter (need to include jewelry)...

just wondering if any one ever uses the treasure hunter set?

figure I can either farm volenfall in a couple of nights for the set or just go buy the spinners gear for 60 to 80k...

Edit: just looking through medium sets - instead of spinners or treasure hunter, I could go stygian (jewelry plus two armor) and switch my head and shoulders to light monster gear...if i remember right - stygian is fairly cheap in the guild stores...

do you have 2 vd swords?
YOu can run a very good build meant for bombing but is very good single target as well
back bar clever destro
front bar 2 vd swords
3 will power jewelery
4 clever body pieces
3 vd body pieces

slot immove magic pots and spell damage pots to use depending on the situation.....great for bombing , but also can 1 shot folks w empowered ice comet..even on a khajiit

I use this build on my bomber. It works great. You can make the chest heavy and another big piece medium for max stats.

Stygian is a great set to, my guildie johnny runs it on his magblade and gets a lot of one shots.

I converted my dk back to dunmer and now have a magdk in heavy. Its tough finding the ropes but great when running group play.

also.....sap essence is your friend @geonsocal ..it may be the healer in me, but I spam the *** out of that.....keeps me and my homies alive...like a mini BoL for mag blades that does damage

geonsocal · April 2017

you're like a mad genius @wazzz56

although I'm using pots now, it's more when I can remember to pop them...i still haven't leveled alchemy for any of my characters to get the increased effect duration, I have the mats, I know i can use soulshine's crafting guide - just haven't done it yet...

I'm gonna end up using 5 spinners, 2 infernal guardian, and 4/5 (dual wield) julianos...5 light, 2 medium setup on my magblade...

i think I'll just keep the VD set for when I play in cyrodiil - it pairs so well with siege weapons

spent most of the night in malabal tor, had treasure hunter perk on, did the public dungeon and about a dozen dolmens/world bosses - no epic spinners jewelry though

went around to most cities checking guild traders - best prices on spinners jewelry I saw was 30k, ended up just picking up a necklace...

as a bonus - i did end up picking up a couple of phoenix rings...hands down the phoenix set is my favorite in the game - it has saved me so many times both in pvp and pve environments...

right now my magsorc is using 5 Phoenix, 5 VD and a monster piece...i'm going to replace his VD with spinners also...

looks like I'm gonna be spending a whole lot of time in malabal tor the next month or so...

NO WAY

Though 90% of PS4 pvpers think I am a 15 year old male.

geonsocal · April 2017

When I first started the thread I had been in cyrodiil for about a year…i’ve never really been much of a groupie – but, when I did group up I would run into some really cool people…

in my own awkward social way – i started the thread in the hopes of getting to know some of the folks whom I spend so much time playing against and with…I feel very lucky @Takes-No-Prisoner that yourself and some others decided to extend yourselves a bit and share some of your pvp and eso experiences…

I feel even luckier in the quality of the people whom have chose to participate…

definitely the best eso decision I’ve made to date

geonsocal · April 2017

oh yeah, i have the patience of a five year old...

spent another hour or so farmer spinners (this thread is quickly devolving into tales of farming

), couldn't take it no more...in case you may be wondering - about 100k or so will buy you a nice set of spinners...

toughest part came in choosing the julianos staff to craft - ended up going with lightening...just really easy heavy attack targeting, nice aoe bump (8%)...the infernal guardian proc had me wanting to pile on more fire though...

one big thing that surprised me when I was shopping was just how cheap red mountain is - man, that is one crazy 5th piece bonus...finding it a little hard to resist...great pve set maybe (ugh, wanna wear it in pvp so bad

)...

took my newly booted and suited magblade back into IC (doing the dailies there)...first thing I noticed - I'm going to need to redo my rotation, second - wow, sap essence, then soul tether can clear out some space...

it's gonna take me a while to get the right playstyle (must remember to use pots) and rotation down, but, can't blame my gear anymore when i come up on the losing end of a fight...
