Best Class for Solo Open World PVP?

Jjitsuboy98

I know we did one for the worst class but lets see what everyone's opinion is on the best spec to run for solo open world cyrodil pvp.

Stamina Sorcerer

Either stam sorc, mag sorc or stamina dk but stam sorc the most casual friendly so I'll say they are overall.

Imho gankers are "best" to some extend. Especially if you really want to solo and not just zerg around while ungrouped.
The biggest problem by far, isn't your combat strength, it's escaping hopeless situations.
Thus, imho, gankers with access to cloak > super mobile stamsorcs > magsorcs > rest.

Note, that i'd vote differently if this was about the best class to get an awesome 1vX fight (and get zerged into horse simulator to escape your own alliance's adder 20 times per one good fight). Many builds can do that well (I honestly think it's somewhat possible on every single class+stam/mag combination, with better and worse fights and situations.

But if you just want to have some solo fun, your option to get away when you see way too many enemies head for you, is your most important tool

I agree with your rationale. Ganking is a pretty cheap/risk free play style; not to mention easy to do. But yeah I was thinking 1vX when I made my vote.

Well even that's debatable in terms of 1vx, there's some great 1vx gankers that'll take out 3 guys like its nothing but it isn't the norm I guess.

Stamina Sorc > StaminaDK/Magicka Sorc > Rest.

Stamsorcs just way too good kit for every situation.

1vX should def be considered before making a vote. There will be more often than not outnumbered situations as a solo player.

And has a good chance to escape. (You realize how hard it is to catch a Stamplar who's roll dodging while casting purify?)

2h and bow the best spec?

ostrapz

Stamina Sorcerer

Stam sorc, fastest, big damage, great sustain, crit surge helps with the lack of major mending, Overload bar for your toolkit. Stamsorc is prepared for anything. Run in, dawnbreaker a guy for instant implosion, get chased by 7, Overload almost up, pop Rapids, kite to a tower and only 3 can catch up, by the time they catch up with drained resources you have caltrops, trap beast and full stam with another dawnbreaker. Stamsorc just allows you to control when and where you wanna fight better than any1 other class imo and that's 1 of the biggest factors in soloing and 1vX-ing open world

Solariken

Stamina Sorcerer

Stamsorc truly wants for nothing. Best mobility, best resource sustain, great burst potential, and a free execute with a dubious proc chance.

alephthiago

Magicka Sorcerer

Its between stamsorc and magicka sorc.

2H and Bow imo best spec. DW and 2H is higher damage but 1h&S w/ 2H is really tanky.

Heal while you damage stuff and darkcloak through half the stealth content in the game.

Nellzer

Stamina Dragonknight

I just voted for my favorite, clearly stam sorc is the best and there really is no argument against that.

Brrrofski

Stamina Sorcerer

Stam sorc, Stam DK and stamplar are what I mostly play.

Usually because I play solo. They're all good, Stam sorc is the easiest to 1vX with though.

If I'm in a group I hop on my saptank, magplar or magica NB usually.

Derra

Stamina Sorcerer

Magsorc if you want to play group or zergsurf.

For true soloing stamsorc or NB depending on prefered playstyle.

deepseamk20b14_ESO

Magicka Sorcerer

I'd say magicka sorc. I'd assume the majority of those voting for Stam blade only gank. When I think open world PvP I think of being able to be more than just a one trick pony. Magicka sorcs have great survivability, great damage, and even with streak costing more per cast I still see sorcs able to escape most of the time, regain their resources and get back into the fight. Sure bad ones will die still, but that goes for any class if played poorly.

LordSlif

Magicka Sorcerer

Some classes have problem for solo pvp fight. Most specifically NB and templar

bsmorrowb14_ESO

I see a lot of folks saying stam sorc, whats a decent build for this in pvp?

Lord_MK

Stamina Sorcerer

I chose stam sorc as I am a very big theorycrafter and stam sorc just lets me create the strongest set ups possible for Zerg counterplay because of dark deal. My set up could never function on another stamina class. Another thing is that when I'm getting zerged I have more heals than stam dk even because of crit surge. Like on stam sorc I can literally just bully some players, especially if they don't have 25k health. The only class that can even compete once you're playing at a high level is dk. I try other classes and although they have strong bursts combos they still can't achieve what stam sorc has

Cathexis

@Lord_MK

What do you run?
I only see those results running proc.
Do you play on Azura's?
Azura's and Trueflame are very different animals.

This poll looks misleading to me. It isn't an accurate picture.
You will do better on Azura's than on Trueflame as a stam sorc.
On Trueflame, you are better off running literally any other class.

Before you even get to procs vs no procs.
Melee vs range.
Solo vs Group.

Reefo

Stamina Nightblade

With a high mag and Stam regen set up a stamblade can be one elusive farqer!

I only choose this over stamsorc because of the ability to shade, cloak, fear. The play style is very unforgiving if u get caught you have to constantly moving but you have more burst than a stamsorc and getting in and out is what a nightblade thrives at.

Incap + surprize attack is faster than dizzying swing + executioner.

Stamsorc rocks but if you suffer with medium ping it's nigh impossible to land a dizzying swing against a good player so I don't play stamsorc in pvp anymore.

Is stam sorc still the best class for morrowind?

mirog

Stamina Sorcerer

Every class is easy/op with cheese, however, out of all those classes stam sorc performs the best
