Dont want to die - Black Rose,Fassila's and Malibeth. Only need 2 skills BOL and Jesus beam with cast block

Stupid DPS - Hunt, Vipers & Verodith, combine it with a stam nb and a one shot machine.

In Cyrodiil when was the last time you saw ssomeone NOT in heavy armour.

With the new sets its going to b worse in One Tamriel.

    Heavy armor is getting kinda OP tbh. If only physical and spell resistance actually made a diffrence in pvp. If i have damn near 30k physical resistance with 5 light i shouldnt be able to get 25k health down to 1k health with 1 incapacitating .

    Does physical and spell resistance really make a diffrence? If ur wearint light armor your ONLY way to survive is to shield stack and thats annoying seriously.

    It's always been like this, you don't need skill in eso, you just need luck on your side. sometimes zos will bless you with no lag and sometimes zos will give you lag, so the i died because of lag statement is true in eso.

    As for the sets, they're op. I miss the days when 5 hundings 2 engine was the meta for stam.

    I dont support the trend that zos is helping along now, breainless sets that procc on hit, why even slot skills in the end, they are releasing so many RNG procc dmg sets that its getting ridiculous.

    The current meta is, learn to burst ppl down wearing heavy armor.

    Its marginally harder than with medium or light but the extra healing and survivability MORE than make up for it ;)

    My main is a magicka nightblade in 7/7 light armor (The Vicious Lich King of Death).

    However, it is quite fun running my stamina templar in 7/7 heavy armor (The Black Dreugh Slayer of the Rose).

    Heavy Armor was buffed because people in PVP wanted to build characters with 50k health, stand in the middle of 30 players and hold block for as long as possible. That's what I heard countless times "Heavy Armor doesn't make me tanky enough" etc etc. Then they Zenimax'd the buff of HA and made to where you get sustain comparable to light/medium, a damage buff & healing buff.

    I agree that sets give the win not skill, I'm being forced to use sword/shield on my stamina dk and go heavy if I don't want to be 1 shotted.

    Being free ap to any decent player must be rough for these crybabys.

    These people need to go buy a black rose set if they are so sure it makes you god mode. Someone has to be real special to say they know the best sets to run but choose not to.

    Y.. I remember when monster sets were introduced and my firsr thought was like "wow, Skoria looks op"... I was so naive... I think its time to leave this ship before it sinks totaly in madness...
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.

    I want to try these new sets, Verodith and Malibeth. Fasilla's sounds interesting as well.

    By the way, One Tamriel will open up so many possibilities, so I fail to understand why it could be "worse".

    Leopardo Di-Caprio (Khajiit Templar) || Matthew Makehoney (Altmer Sorcerer) || Luck-Luster Burt (Redguard Dragonknight)

    I'm not a frontline player. I like playing from the back, giving either ranged damage support or healing to the frontline guys. I've never read up on what "the best equipment and skill set" is for my race and class for PvP, or even PvE. I play with medium armour sets of my choice, and skills that I like using, that is chosen to suit my playing style. So yes, I am the guy in Cyrodill casting Tangling Webs from the ramparts as the enemy is trying to ram the door. Surely not the most effective, but hey, I'm having a ball.
