Preparing for the Pelinal's Zerg Event: A Guide to Greatness (2018 Edition)

Another year of lag-ridden gameplay is upon Tamriel and once again some players will be frantically trying to procure 50 killing blows for the Star-Made Knight title. Below I've listed the easiest ways you can help make this ridiculous grind more manageable:
The "50-final-blow kills" achievement is largely doable if you sit in the back of a zerg and spam your class execute, such as Jesus Beam or Mage's Fury. Executes proc at low health and burst quickly enough to land you the final blow. If you don't have a class execute, then you'll struggle somewhat because everyone else will get the killing blow 99% of the time, but it is still very doable - even with a stamina setup.
If you are of the magicka variety, equip Soul Assault and stack Max Magicka, crit chance, crit damage, and spell damage. For sustain, use an Infused Lightning Staff HA with an Oblivion Damage Enchantment equipped. For extra burst, you can use Valkyn Skoria, as it will proc off of Jesus Beam (if Temp), Soul Assault, and your HA channeled ticks - all of which are DoTs. Meteor is not advised as it takes a few seconds to land, allowing time for the target to get killed by something else before the Meteor lands.
If you are of the stamina variety, you can invest in the Sheer Venom armor set in ICP that will augment your Poison Injection spam attack with an additional DoT. Simply craft an Infused bow with an Oblivion Damage enchantment and spam away! Stack as many DoTs as you can to help ensure your damage is the last tick before the enemy croaks. For extra power, you can also use the Sload's Semblance set to stack unresistable DoT damage.
If you can't find a zerg, make a zerg. If a zerg cannot be made, join a guild and host a guild event where 20+ of you go into IC and trample every Sorc and NB in an unholy stampede of Sloading Screens, Poisonous Injections, Jesus Beams, Assaults of the Soul, and the GLORIOUS CLEANSING FIRE of Valkyn Skoria.

It was only cyrodil last year, but there was another part of the quest that was BG related.

My memory may be a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure you could get this in battleground kills.Main: Drio Azul ~ DC, Redguard, Healer/Magicka Templar ~ NA-PC

I mean, I'm not going to claim they were amazing kills or anything like that. But if I can get 50 killing blows on a MagDK (no class executes) and a healer, there's not much room for people to not get this achievement if they actually attempt to PVP.4 -

Uh, my main character who I play the most is a Magicka Dragonknight. In PVE, I tank. In PVP, I wear light armor and heal with a restoration staff. Its not a meta build, but I love playing a very tanky healer and Mag DK does that very well.
I hope that clarifies matters. My point in bringing it up in the first place was to say that even with a class/role you wouldn't expect to do that well at killing players, I still managed it pretty handily.1 -

I feel your pain. As a magicka Warden, my options are fairly limited too. The bear is maybe an option in BGs but definitely not in Cyrodiil. My current plan is to use Soul Assault, Bees, Skoria, Oblivion damage, and stacking "pure % damage" buffs like my Advanced Species passive and Minor Berserk to increase my infused Oblivion damage enchants and my Sload ticks.Edited by Vercingetorix on July 19, 2018 12:58PM“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”0 -
