Real Talk is 1vX even possible anymore

CallMeBigPapi

I’m going to be completely honest. I main a stamblade, I’m 90th percentile as far as skill goes all factors considered, max cp, been playing the game for 2+ years. My gear is fine I run poisons use pots but sadly it’s still not enough.

Small group it is still possible to destroy larger groups if coordinated and skilled but 1vX just doesn’t seem to be possible anymore for several reasons

1) People are always running in groups. You get a guy low and there is a tank that comes and annoys the living f*** out of you by standing in front of scrubs and nonstop trying to Rez his team. There is a healer in heavy with 30k health that you can’t kill. The 20k health players that you can one shot are being guarded like crazy and even if you do kill them you can’t finish off the rest.

2) cp cap. As the game ages more players will reach the cap. Some will get better, some are still trash. Regardless, opponents are getting tougher

3)zerglings don’t split up anymore. None chase or all of them do

4) you will run into groups of tanks and unkillables. I swear everyone on EP has 40k health it’s a whole faction of tanks

5) being set up as pure dps and being able to sustain like crazy isn’t enough. You straight up just can’t do enough damage because everyone is in a group

It seems like the only way to consistently kill people outnumbered is to have 2 or 3 really good players fighting with you to get some good clips. Otherwise you get T-bagged after getting 5v1d.

So is it even possible anymore?

Only against inexperienced players.

Of course it is. Xers are 97% imo. Keep learning.

I gotta say that is one of the most unique dk playstyle I have ever seen, and you make it work well.

A lot less noobs running around for sure... heck, even the try hards can't hack it most of the time and they will run 2 to 3 mans in Cyrodiil.

The only time you can catch the real noobs is early on in the day... best chance at actually 1vXing is NOT during primetime hours.

Thanks. Original build credit goes to @krathos though. I just adopted it for Xbox and tweaked one or two things. Definitely fun to play.

Yeah 1vX is still possible, but it's pretty hard now, especially on PC where theres more experienced MMO players on top of addons like Miat's. And its only gonna get harder for all platforms, as the game progresses and more people start to learn whats what in ESO.

Depends on platform. PC is the toughest to 1vX as there is more exp and old players that know their sheit. You can see that even when watching vids - most spectacular ones come form xbox or ps

Just need to find people that are trash at the game.

Try non-CP in imperial city sewers, plenty of fresh meat there.
