What spec do you predominantly PVP with?

I was discussing this with some guildies the other day - what specs have always been popular, regardless of the to-ing and fro-ing of balance patches, and what they would pick if they could only pick one spec to PVP with.

This is largely an open-world poll, but feel free to tell us otherwise, eg solely for duelling, BG’s etc

I didn’t put healers here as you’d just fall under magplar. Tanks just pick whatever, you’re not defeating anyone anyway ;)

I personally gravitate towards magicka DK, though I do play some Stam DK and Mag Sorc.

Can an admin please save the thread?? Accidentally hit enter on my iPhone before I finished the poll options :D

    I don’t really PvP much, but my plucky wood elf archer is my curent favorite. Playing at close range doesn’t really work for me. It makes the lagtastic experience more frustrating, I think?

    I guess "Magplar"... though I mostly use Vampire abilities to be honest so I'm not really much of a Templar. It's a terrible class in this game's PvP in my opinion and I hope for the sake of the rest of the classes on this game they are much better.

    The only abilities that don't just completely suck are blazing shield and perhaps radiant destruction (although nerfed at least it's still useful for killing weakened opponents). And I guess I should note puncturing sweeps which isn't bad either, especially for clearing resource nodes.

    I PvP a lot (especially lately) and I would say Dragon Knights are the most common. This game's PvP seems to be crawling with them. They seem to be my most formidable opponents as well. So I guess that makes sense. Templars on the other hand are easily the least threatening class I ever face in PvP. I consider them basically fodder for the other classes and would describe them as snacks for Dragon Knights to dine on when they are hungry.

    It does suck, especially in the context of PvP combat where everyone is running around like a chicken with their head cut off. So even the slightest delay can be the difference in an ability going off or fizzling out since the target moved out of range during the lag. So I can definitely understand why you prefer range.

    Depends on my whim, I switch between mag sorc, magblade, stamblade, magplar (lately not to often). I have some episodes with rest of the classes but it's more about checking some stuff, learning counters to certain mechanics.
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.
