It's not exactly what I run but it's a good solid setup

That set up without pirates Skeleton gets eaten alive in light armor.

The OP asked for what setups are already popular, not what build was your personal favorite (I personally don't run Valkyn)
While it would be fun to have a multiple page discussion on whether LA magplar requires defensive set to be effective, I would rather not derail a post that's meant to be about all classes.

The problem is that the number of people who actually do play at a really high level is rather small and they often enough don't bother with the forums. Stuff like this nowadays is all discussed in discords or ingame. Join some proper PvP guild and ask people there. If you are not being obnoxious people will usually gladly help out.
You also really want to specify whether you are looking for CP or non CP setups.
I get what you're saying Atomix. Noted everyone.
I mean... generally you could craft shacklebreaker and slap it on each character you want to take to pvp its such a versatile set.
because there is no meta, there are sets which perform better than others, but there are plenty of them and it comes down how you combine them and match it to your playstyle, there is no "HARD" Meta Build for every Stam/Mag Class.

The build dishes out a lot of aoe damage and pumps out a lot of off heals. I run corrupted pollen since it works well with all the snares and roots that comes with the build. With this build you can literally put out the most damage in heals most of the time. Only down side is the fact you have no execute.

Ty for this. I keep overlooking corrupting pollen and focusing too much on perma frost or whatever it's called
Meta is pretty much what gets posted by streamers, Alcast is a good player & knowledgeable, which is why I believe he can easily find things that work, post them & before you know it everyone is playing it either exactly or a slight variation.
An example would be:
Magic nightblade - Zaan + Calurion
If you say so....I am already excited about all those magsorcs running the armor master set^^.

It’s a dirty little secret that if you can afford to run gold food and burn through triple effects pots on cool down your chances of doing better in battlegrounds are hugely improved.
Also cp PvP vs non cp PvP are two related, but very different worlds. Is it any surprise that this game is a nightmare to “balance”?ZOS really needs three different sets of gear stats and ability effects. Most other successful MMO games eventually do this.
I’d love to see an ESO eSports league, it would bring life and money to the game, but they have so much redesign to do if they ever want to make it realistic.
