The most powerful class in the world...
thilog
✭✭✭
Sorc with shield bash?
Nightblade with 2 handsword?
In short.. the class system, just doesn't work. And this new system, of pick n mix.. clearly isn't either.
Would be nice to see true class lists for the servers. ie percentage of players playing as. Since it's pretty obvious nearly all botters are templars uisng aedric jab spam. This is apparently the "new" melee class.
But for general play.. Shield bash for the win.. clearly.. sb needs a severe nerf. Keep posting like this.. soon the game will be so weak and watered down that everyone will wonder wth they're logging in for.
I only log in to feed my horse.. he's (I think he's a he) is at 43 speed, 10 stam, 1 packs.
Fyi.. This post was made in a sarcastically joking manner. But, underlining a real ingame issue. And my horse is now 46% speed which is Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeely fast. Until you get debunked by a hidden db then the lag of slowing down is really what kills you.. I also made rank1 now and I'm trying to get werewolf up so I can bite people for free.

✭✭Dragon Knight is equal to Templar in my opinion, with the Sorceror not far behind.
Not yet tried the Nightblade.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!
Wizard's first rule
Passion rules reason
Wizard's third rule
Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie.
Wizard's fifth rule
Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self
Wizard's tenth rule -
Crippling sword and shield is only going end up as a massive buff to ranged magic attacks. Do we not have enough problems with them being OP already?
But hey I'm game for lowered bash, assuming regular melee attack damage get doubled or tripled.Edited by murklor007neb18_ESO on May 4, 2014 11:25AM -

Equal in what ? I got 3 toon i didn't try nighblade yet
With the class skill
DK are way more solid than Templar
DK dps more than Templar
Sorcerer does a lot more damage than templar
And when it comme to cc or aoe power ...

thilog✭✭✭I think it's a wide variety of fixed class systems, that make pvp games, worth playing. in WW2 like games you have your melee, medics, snipers, demo and so on and people flock to these games, in fantasy games, most pvp has always been people hiding and and sniping.. (snipers) and sorc aoe, any other choice and you're really just fodder for the former.

✭Shield bash is not the issue. Shield bash filled with +bash dmg jewerly is.
Also your issue demonstrates another issue. Magic users like sorcs can freely waste their stamina to get double the damage output resource wise.
So that's how people breeze true vet content. I keep seeing people asking for bash glyphs while leveling and always wondered why, thanks for clarifying.
As a (non vamp) light armour/staff using Sorcerer I die and struggle like everyone else in vet 5+ areas. I'm always out of stamina from rolling and blocking, I can't kite normally because I will aggro more groups. I will die in 3 hits so there is no way I can afford to use my stamina on skills.
So yeah shield and Bash spam is apparently the way to go, not being a silly Harry Potter like myself.
Seems the problem in ESO is how skill lines, passives, weapon threes and itemization synchronizes, creating overtuned or even OP combinations. That's why we have a vampire situation in Cyrodiil, for example. I predict more to come, unless they place a skilled dev to only look at these issues.

ArRashid✭✭✭✭There will ALWAYS be imbalance in PvP. It's not possible to balance even 2 classes to be equally strong. You'd have to pit the same class against each other using the same gear and the same abilities.
Also how the heck is 2h nightblade strong? Maybe in 1vs1 PvP (can't even kill more, because magicka runs dry after 2 spells) when surprising you from stealth, but they are really, REALLY pathetic for PvE. Anything above VR1 just decimates anyone who doesn't use some "OP" class with "OP" build. -

Don't know about 2 hander nightblades but know Sword n Shield heavy armor Nightblades aka Darknight with Siphon and shadow abilities is a tanking beast with a never ending supply of stanima, health, and magica.

Huh? Templars have ranged attacks that have the same range as sorcerers, and are longer range than DK abilities. Plus, they have a charge ability that covers close to the same distance. You can also use sneak, like everybody else, to get in closer. -
FrauPerchta✭✭✭I sound like a broken record I am sure but so far I haven't found a stronger character than an Orc Sorcerer, 2H (no pet or sticks) wearing 5 Heavy and 2 Light.

Only if you spec that way. I found 1 hand and shield too low dps for solo play, preferring dual wield. I also went with aedric jab as opposed to using the ranged spells. On top of those I trained healing spells to max. (to assist in grouping and generally helping other players)
The problem all classes really have, is if you switch or respec to totally different styles within the same classification too late in the characters lifecycle you are essentially nerfing yourself. Damage output is significantly lower and damage absorbtion or deflection depending on how you look at it is also significantly reduced, since you need to wait for the skills to raise in those areas to train in the skills that make that armour or weapon class useful over another one already trained.
There isn't much point in just respeccing at will, you need to train skills up and max them which takes longer than it does to get to 50 in level.
It is actually quicker to make a new character and follow a specific rule and specification than it is to respec and retrain.

Thanks for the vid. I didn't realise the skills I was seeing was a dragon knight skill line, but thought it was a sorc aoe, I guess I assumed it was sorc since generally these aoe abilities are sorc types.
Can you list what skill lines you are using?
I can seeing you're going 1h/shield, using shield bash etc. I take it you're just putting on armour, then holding shield up and spamming the aoe?
You look like a one man bot team.. lol. The question is tho.. in pve it's easy enough to point out the power of a setup.. but how does this work in pvp?

Extremely, extremely effectively.
Less so lately, as people have learned... but a vampire DK can singlehandedly take on 5+ in PvP unless they know to back off and attack from range.
Once at range, they can die pretty fast, but in big mobs it is hard to tell who is what and DK can dominate.

nightblade with resto staff
why: because they can take down on a 4 man dungeon boss alone
One bow to darken the sun
One bow to unite the clans
One bow to conquer the world and in darkness drown it...

Can anyone explain what makes 2h Nightblade so apparently overpowered?
I'm looking for something to try when I get my NB to Vet zones, as I'm pretty sure the ol' dual wield/bow/siphon/medium armor boring Rogue template isn't going to work on those 3 packs I tear through on my Templar.Edited by Markethemetalheadb14_ESO on May 7, 2014 3:45PM
