Best AOE pvp Class

teladoy

I friend of mine has a DK that uses a lot of dots and he can burst down people in matter of seconds. I was also very surprised how he destroy me in a 1v1. The damage is insane, imposible to resist. I was not abble to get close to him, because he was surrounded of dots all the time and if i stay a few seconds inside of the areas my health was going down very quickly. I could win to him only with my sorcerer from the distance.

I think the main skills he uses are eruption, elemental blockade, burning embers and ferocious leap.

Now the question is: are sorcerers capable to do the same? can anyone suggest me a good build for aoe damage? is better DK than sorcerer for this kind of gameplay?

Classes are not equal.

Sure MagDK's can pump out insane (AoE) damage at close range, they are the best dueling class for a reason. But a MagSorc can blow people up from 40metres away in 3.5 seconds, and have insane kiting ability.

So what I'm saying is no, MagSorcs cannot do the same (the closest you could get would be Overwhelming Surge + Lightening Form + Destro Ult + Shock Reach (off the top of my head)), because you have other strengths.

It's definitely possible! I'm at work now, but I'll give you the info later.
Its pretty good; few pros and cons, but overall strong magsorc AoE build

Unless you use pets, you can have a lot of AoE damage using ground AoE DoTs (Lightning Flood, Elemental Blockade), but you won't have the innate tankieness of a DK, and this becomes even worse compared to other Sorc builds as you give up defensive skills for it and the AoEs are pretty expensive compared to single target spammables. They are affected by Earthgore. Pets aren't that great for open world because it's difficult to get them were you actually want them, they can die, and they are terribly slow compared to you. In a duel you could do a lot of stuff, like a high dmg build with Maelstrom Lightning staff using a lot of heavy attacks, but such things usually don't work very well in other scenarios.

DK is stupidly easy in 1v1. It takes almost no skill to win a 1v1 fight as a DK (More so magic than stamina). But in Open world they hurt and in PvE they hurt

I main a magsorc and I switch out about three or four skills for PVE to PVP for a seamless transition. I rarely use AoE's(Unless I am mistaken) in PVP though. I learned the hard way that I can't just go respec when I want to PVP because I love doing both equally.

Here is my build, Icr whom I took it from but I altered it for my own style. The gear stays the same and I hit 47k Magicka without pots. It would be lower with impen but since it's a glass cannon build, divines boosts magicka enchantments for such high power.

I haven't updated my gear in 7 months but hey, I havent had time. I will farm Scathing Mage for PVP and maybe Grothdar idk yet.

Gear:
Weapons - Sharpened Mother's Sorrow Inferno Staff(Front Bar) & Sharpened Mother's Sorrow Ice Staff(Backbar) both gold with Crusher enchants.

Armor: 2 piece Skoria monster set, 4 piece necropotence and 1 piece mothers sorrow with mothers sorrow jewelry.

Skills-

PvP

Front Bar-
Hardened Ward, Crystal Frags, Force Pulse, Bound Aegis, Destructive Reach

Backbar-
Hardened Ward, Haunting Curse, Rapid Manuever, Bound Aegis, Mages Wrath

All stay the same for PvE. I swap Destructive Reach for Elemental Blockade, Haunting Curse for Liquid Lightning and Rapid Manuever for Ele Drain.

Health wardens have the best AoE for Cyro and the Highest ultigen and sustain , 3 70k Health wardens can destroy 20 max CP players like no problemo if the fight is on tight corner around a rock or on Alessia Bridge for example .
