Howdy @Ballcap ...

i'm really enjoying life in cyrodiil in more support roles for my characters...having a character that can out heal a good bit of incoming damage is a blast - hah, take that mister eye of flame

Worm's Raiment Set
(2 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(3 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(4 items) Adds 129 Magica Recovery
(5 items) Reduces the cost of your Magicka abilities by 4% for you and your group.

the magic set that i want to give a spin is alteration mastery...i have it all - just haven't equipped it on any one yet...

Robes of Alteration Mastery Set
(2 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(3 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(4 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(5 items) Reduces the cost of all of your abilities by 6%.

i've been having a challenge recently on my mag sorc having an issue with not enough stamina for break free...if i use this i could probably switch from witchmother's brew to a tri-stat food and get my stam pool to about 13k to 14k...

Try amberplasm instead. Amber would probably benefit you more and you could crutch on dark conversion for your mag sustain.

Amber Plasm Set
(2 items) Adds 1096 Max Magicka
(3 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) Adds 250 Stamina Recovery

that stam recovery does look juicy...

coincidentally the same dungeon i need to pull some chudan head pieces out of...

What's happening on Shor?

I can tell you what's not happening. AD putting up siege and forward camps is what's not happening. Drives me nuts. I once even offered to give away free siege. Maybe they all thought I was kidding.

I was in Shor a month ago and it was the opposite problem. AD's top players were emp sharing, pvdooring, and then leaving all the walls/doors down, and running away from every fight. Not sure what's worse.

Sounds like EP! lol

despite how much that same thought went through my head (plus the whole waiting forever for a rez thing) - I wasn't gonna write it myself...

I will though say - a big +1 on that post

AD seems to of lost most of their competent groups that actually do anything to win in both Shor and Vivec. They'll take over the map at times for a couple hours usually earlier in the day but they just get gated all night and they no longer have any Emp that actually does work, just AP farmers that group up to go farm at a resource.

Guilty

Farming resources at AD gate keeps is where I find Cyrodiil is the least laggy so thats why people probably go there.

got a chance to see abyss and a small group of red in action out by the faregyl mill...

wow, you really are good at getting them camps down and making sure they stay up til your group rez's...nice work...

Nah, not really. Terrible job imo. Tonight was a bad night except for 1 tower farm earlier. Healers dipped on us and nobody was really listening so I just logged off. The lag was getting on everyones nerves too but IC was dead so we decided to come back up to Cyrodiil.

Heres my first 4 days back on mag dk. Nice 3vZerg to start it. Still getting back into it and lot of room for improvement on resource management especially. The class that has been nerfed 3 patches in a row is still superior to a medium dk with dizzy swing smh.

I wouldn't expect AD to win anything for the foreseeable future. Can't complain though, they had their day in the sun for quite some time. My farming guild is down to maybe four regulars but we never group up anymore so I just do my own thing, which tbh, I'm enjoying because it's a nice change of pace. Anyways, I've got more AP than I'll ever spend.

Roll on May 25th.

makes me wanna go hang out in IC...great place for fighting...you have to focus more on using your environment to fight in...

nice, your health bar wasn't moving much at all, what gear do you have on your mag dk?

have you ever tried a mag warden? shoot, you wouldn't even need a healer with you...

Personal build. IC has been zergy af lately but the environment in there offers lots of LOS which helps immensely in outnumbered fights as seen.

Jake1576

I was in the imperial city last night late about 2 in the morning and there was a DC zerg running around killing everything you would take one out and another 30 would follow behind them and zerg me down some ppl called fozzie and joy or something was running the group it's like an every night thing after midnight a big DC zerg goes into the imperial city and ruins it for everyone that's trying to gank or run solo there I tried to see if there was any other ad on that would be interested in trying to fight back against them in text chat and all I could find was like 3 others that was in the imperial city just ended up leaving and going back to cyrodiil

geonsocal

quick update on the war:

with about 12 days in the campaign to go - EP is holding strong on to the lead with a little less than 20k points...DC and AD are both within about 500 points...

so, pretty much anything can still happen...

for myself, I've reached 100k AP on my 4 DC and 3 AD characters and, started my blood for the pact play last night...

I made a bunch of gear and ability changes on a lot of my characters the last couple of campaigns...

last night finally started feeling comfortable again on my magplar healer...

comfortable now with working in entropy and radiant magelight (which i haven't slotted for a while), and, buffing with spell power cure and transmutation...

ugh, i really need to deal with my issue of not wanting to group for pledges...

I'd really like to get both of my healers in a 2 piece troll king set...i've got some shoulder pieces already from the golden...just need to run the dang dungeon a few times to collect up some head peices...

one of these days

geonsocal

just watched the twitch stream for the summerset chapter...

2 big items for myself and pvping:

- jewelry crafting - wow, need to start holding on to any of the blue jewelry from normal dungeons, also, will eventually need to buy some research scrolls - not gonna want to wait for those long research periods on the 7, 8, and 9 traits...looks like it will apply for any craftable sets...there will be six new traits to go along with robust, arcane and healthy...

- the psijic skill line - considering just how well the warden class was suited for pvp, i'm imagining the psijic skill line (5 active, 5 passive, and an ultimate ability) will be causing a waterfall of salt tears in cyrodiil...

Abysswarrior45

Psijic Undo skill already sounds broken. Its basically a reset ult/skill (idk whether its an let or skill). Imagine a tank thats already a pain in the ass to kill due to broken carry sets popping that when you finally get them low and now you're back at square 1. You get them back to where they're low again but they have the ult ready once more so you're ***. Free get out of jail card which is nonsense and sounds p2w SO FAR. Can't wait to see how busted it is when PTS launches. *** *** dev team.

geonsocal

have you ever been standing around outside the front door of a keep, and just chilling, looking to play tag with some nightblade...suddenly you see 6 or 8 enemy players making their way towards you...

hit em with a few long range skills, do a wave - then run like hell for the front door, hit x once or twice, nothing happens...

start pounding on x to get in, finally port inside the gate, and - suddenly port right on back outside...standing right in the middle of those players...who were a little upset that they thought you may have escaped from their grasp a moment ago...

geonsocal

and, so it is...

aldmeri dominion has taken over the top spot...all three within 200 points of each other...

if I had to bet, with 11 days to go -

geonsocal

one last thing - I always mention my joy for establishing long distance relationships with my bow - on my stam sorc tonight and I dizzying swinged the heck out of a couple of folks tonight

and, i liked it...

Jake1576

I've been going and dizzy swinging people while in cloak lmao it's funny to watch how surprised they look when they go flying in the air and are wondering what even hit them trying to not gank with the bow as much lol so now I will cloak dizzy swing light attack onslaught killers blade lol it's been working okay so far

Yeah the reason I hate that skill is not that it does so much damage as it is just the animation and jarring effect getting knocked on your backside after flying through the air especially the NPC version which appears to be the old version of wreaking blow before it was changed.

I'm one of those players that sweeps inner keeps after we flip them. Few things give me more joy that discovering a stealthed-up player on a high wall in an inner keep, and smacking them with a well-aimed dizzying swing to knock 'em off. Combined with the fall damage, it's essentially a one-shot "Get off my lawn" and the animation is awesome

EP is probably going to lose to AD this campaign. I was surprised last night to see several usually EP-faithful players suddenly on AD. I witnessed some salt in zone chat a couple of nights ago aimed at a female player who I think runs groups and may even have a guild, and that may have resulted in them moving to AD. Misogyny is an ugly thing. No wonder ESO PVP is mostly a sausage festival.

Our ex guild mate or another?
I've been off leveling up another new account, it is a sickness IK.

Another. Saw emcon(?) on a low level AD last night, and a minute or two later, ancient asked in zone chat why elekra went AD. Nobody responded, but the day before there was a nasty moment in zone chat involving that person (who sometimes starts stuff, so I don't have a ton of sympathy always but still.. some of the venom a couple of days ago was uncalled for).

I don't group except with WoC, and WoC is my only PvP guild so I must admit I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to the social nuances and cliques of EP. So maybe I was just misreading things since I only had zone chat to guide me.

I'm still leveling a bomber, but I'm probably only 6 weeks from earning my 5th star on my stamblade, so I kinda want to see that through first.

TequilaFire

Interesting Elektra is still in WoC and violating the guild rule of playing on another alliance in our main campaign.
No big loss just another drama queen.

Edit - problem resolved! lol

geonsocal

i caught a little of that zone chat mess the other night...

as a solo player I use zone chat a bunch to figure out where to head if the map isn't very clear...

some of the back and forth between people is funny, some is just mean spirited...

toxic chat usually isn't conducive to alliance success...

i'm old - forgive me my tangents...

this got me thinking about my different weapon layouts I have for all 10 characters...

the last change I made to anyone's weapons was almost two years ago when I switched my mag sorc from destro/resto back to destro/SnB...and changed my magplar from 2H/destro to resto/destro...

with so many characters it's a challenge to keep them diverse...

if I was a betting man, I'd bet that there will be a new weapon skill line introduced with next year's new chapter...

2 of my characters have 2H and bow slotted...definitely a fun combo...

geonsocal

just for myself, my current weapon choices:

magblade - DW and destro
stamblade - 2H and bow
magplar - resto and destro
stamplar - SnB and destro
mag sorc - SnB and destro
stam sorc - 2H and bow
mag dk - DW and destro
stam dk - SnB and bow
mag warden - SnB and resto
stam warden - DW and bow

that's funny, never really thought about it before that my stamplar and mag sorc had the same weapon set up

also, looks like i'm a big SnB and bow fan...

yep, definitely looking forward to zos introducing a new weapon skill line in to the mix...

geonsocal

oh yeah, one other fun tidbit, after swinging like crazy with my dizzying swing - which, isn't always so easy to connect with (seems like everyone knows to dodge roll or walk through you) - got a fun/guilty kill on my stam sorc...

was on the top floor of ash I believe, and, the front door was down but, i didn't really see anyone - foe or friend...

suddenly some AD player (stay blazed) sets up their siege to hit the front inner keep door...

peeked over the side > rally > bow heavy attack > lethal arrow > lethal arrow > they still haven't moved > poison injection > they finally moved > lethal arrow > they're dead...

you can't really do much while you're sieging, so I figure it was either fatigue, lag, or - they were literally in the act of "blazing" when I first hit them...

sorry, not sorry...did get the grand overlord slayer achievement

Abysswarrior45

This game is soooooo dead. Should a game be build around counters or skill? I've always leaned more towards skill's relevancy being the most important when it comes to creating a competitive game. Been getting merged all night again on my mag dk too with a few good fights here and there.

Ran into Stoney though... ate a 26k Zaan in under 5 seconds it felt like which is mathematically impossible since there were 8 ticks so unsure how that worked, a 2.2k leap from a random (lol), and I believe mines. Yeah I was triggered by that and Zaan is one of many reasons I made a forums account. Shouldn't exist. Can't be blocked, dodged, interrupted, LOSed, or escaped.

Abysswarrior45

And I saw Geon too on his red. You guys stole my last kill on the resource.
