i was doing skyshards in cryodiil and was on on "empty campaign" where AD had all scrolls, keeps and emp bonus( im DC). ran into another templar who was one vet level above ma and also had all the buffs but My build still outperformed and won the fight. I was super excited was a great fight.
this is why i dont like puncturing strikes and relative morphs, he was relying on that for dps but I can just block and it dosent do much, seeing that its channeled only the first of 4 would ever hit me. I had all instant cast that had utiltity+some damage which could be cast between holding up block so is harder to avoid.

well, for me, It was about a month ago. I was typing in chat, I was about lvl 40, NB archer, I was on my horse, texting in chat, when an enemy Templar(DC), also about 40; jumped me(I am EP) he got me down to my last 5% of health, but I managed to escape and hide, but he followe.d I healed, waited, and went in sneak. when he came by, I jumped him, and pummeled him with poison arrow and magma shot. he pulled up that weird shield like ability that heavily boosts his armor, but I used shadow cloak and re hid, his ability expire,d I jumped him again, then finished him off with killers blade. it was awesome:)

Ive had a few. Once a guild took a keep and I was defending. I sat up top with oil pots and lowered their health a little as they came up the stairs. It was just me and like 2 other low level comrades I was like V6.
By the time they reached the top of the stairs in a little clump I dropped standard and literally wiped like 12 of them. It was an amazing feeling and one of those Leroy Jenkins moments.( I fully expected to die but didn't)

I have had a few 2 Vs 4 and 2 Vs 6 fights where I didn't die and the fights lasted for a long time(like 5 mins is long to me when its just your group of two and 4-6 enemies in a circle around you)

One fight recently comes to mind where I eventually did die but received compliments from the other group. That was a nice feeling.

Cody · June 2014

I also managed to 1v1 a VR12 sorc. somehow. lol. during a siege(which if I recall correctly in the end failed:/) one of my Vr12 teammates got jumped by a Vr12 sorc, and fled and hid. I was using my VR1NB archer at the time. I snuck attacked the VR12 sorc, and she got stunned. I hit her with poison arrow and strife, and when she got up, instead of spamming self heals, she tried to flee. I hit her with some more arrows, and finished her with impale. it was awesome. I never took on a whole group like you did though. my build is geared towards ganking and small scale fights, and all I can usually do in large scale fights is provide assistance

need to be a DK

Nijjion · June 2014

Had a lot of good fights with Nicola on Wabba... normally 50/50 win/lose though normally Sorcs are boring to fight as they just run

. Though most surprisingly best fight was against a Templar... it lasted really long at least 5 minutes which is rare I normally only get those against other DKs.

My highlight has to be killing 25-30 people solo while they were capping a flag (before caps put in)

Damn no caps were nice and guard Negate magic helps. Just wished I recorded it

yup. I tried 2 different kinds: both bored me:/

KBKB · June 2014

Best one was a 4 v 1 while I was leveling and collecting a shard in a dungeon. 4 guys all round about the same level to me 40-v1 were starting on a boss I was stealthed dropped a storm attro on there heads as if it was sweet and sour pork, then shard spam the first 2 were dead before they knew what was going on =D

Second to that was a 1v1 I had with another V12 sorc with the blinking, blocking, knockdowns and ulti drops. Was almost like fighting a frost mage of equal skill 1v1 in WoW that was fun!

mjspnrb18_ESO · June 2014

My favorite was when i was running a tank/siphoning NB build and came up against a Templar healer DC and we fought for 20 minutes unable to kill each other as i wasn't putting out enough dps and he was spamming heals with no dps then a AD came along and drained his resources and we both killed the AD then i turned and killed the DC healer because he was weakened, LONGEST FIGHT EVA lol

Magister_Aena · June 2014

Once I was exploring the area around Bravil with my level 12 DC Templar. I was stopped in my rock climbing by the distinctive sounds of Crystal Shards. Lo and behold, a level 20 AD and his dino had tailed me and my climbing adventure. I'm not sure it really counted as a 1v1, as all I did was heal and laugh through his Crystal spam. Still, the dedication to following me and my rockclimbing and the length of the duel (at least six minutes) made it very memorable for me.

Sir_Hyperion · June 2014

I was on my lvl 34 DK tank and I was going towards a keep to assault, but on the way there I got separated from my group and on the way back a single VR12 came out of no where. I would assume this VR12 doesn't pvp much as we were having a equal fight. The close moment was when both of our HP was under 200, I popped Obsidian Shield, Dragonblood and then I used my Standard on him. I killed the VR12 with only 39HP remaining. I would assume the other guy was hella mad. My heart was pounding, but then like 3 minutes later a gank army completely wrecked me and I got the glitch where I can only walk.

tplink3r1 · June 2014

10 minutes 1v1 against a DK(im a templar), we gave up the fight.

SirAndy · June 2014

Back before launch while playing on the PTS we had just gotten the first vampire players to show up in PvP and my lowly level 15 NB managed to get a critical with silver bolts on the then maxed out emperor.
Not once, but twice within 15 minutes!

That was pretty epic. Needles to say, he wasn't happy.

And at the time we didn't even know if silver bolts were going to work on other (vampire) players.

Morticielle · June 2014

1vs1 is not a battle, not even a skirmish, it's a fight.

10 minutes without anybody adding the fight? You must be lying!

Soris · June 2014

Never seen a good 1v1 fight for a long time. It usually begins like a honourable 1v1 duel, then it ends with 20 enemy adds jumping on dead body

shanersimms_ESO · June 2014

My recent post "(NA) Chrysamere - The Covenant's Resolve" in this forum is an accurate depiction of my best 1v1 to date.

Agrippa_Invisus · June 2014

A 5+ minute fight with Bitaken after a scroll grab by DC on Wabbajack a few weeks ago. Just south of Bruma, ranged back and forth across the road as I kept trying to finish him off and he kept escaping.

Eventually another showed (through no fault of Bitaken's) and I got killed. Great fight, though.

47m duel with Tisserand

Nahz · May 2015

I like this topic, even if it is an old thread, so I'll post one of my encounters.

This was a few months before 1.6 went live, and I had just gotten VR1. I decided to go skyshard hunting on Thornblade NA (the non-vet campaign was not very active, so I primarily went to Thorn). I had just gotten a skyshard from some ruins near a mountain in EP territory when an EP DK, who was also VR1, showed up. I did not immediately engage, and instead started blocking and jumping in hopes that the DK would see I was not interested in fighting; I was just a fellow skyshard hunter. In truth, I was not at all confident in my ability to fight another player 1 on 1 as most of my PVP experience up to that point involved being roflstomped by VR14 zergs while crashing from lag. He engaged though, so I fought back.

I had crystal fragments on my bar, but did not dare use it because I was petrified of dem wings. He got in close and started using lava whip and melee attacks. I panicked as I got low on health and figured it was all over. I used streak to stun him, and then turned around to use encase so he couldn't get close to me. I started spamming mage's fury because I knew it couldn't be reflected, but it just wasn't doing a lot of damage with him at full health. I had soul trap on my bar as I had been farming soul gems in between shards, so I started using that as well to add a bit of damage.

I put a volcanic rune down and kept it between us so that he wouldn't be able to get too close to me without taking damage (encase was expensive to cast before 1.6). He walked into it a few times and got thrown into the air, and I noticed that he wasn't dodge rolling out of encase. I decided to combine the two abilities so they he wouldn't be able to avoid my rune.

I managed to slowly defeat the DK with a combination of encase, volcanic rune, mage's fury, and soul trap. It was such a rush!

To this day, volcanic rune remains one of my favorite skills because it's a blast (pun intended) to watch enemies fly into the air!

sKorcheD · May 2015

My past favorite duel has to be vs Azoi.

Now its a duel vs ZoS servers when I get to play.

Warraxx · May 2015

ones where i don't die

IxSTALKERxI · May 2015

Never really had any good 1v1's before lol. Except maybe when testing 1.6 on PTS because I was actually using dueling specs.

WRX · May 2015

LONG LIVE FIRESHOT. Needs more oiers imo

http://www.twitch.tv/guild_of_shadows/c/4725770

not my 1v1 or guild btw, but still was hilarious. And fireshot wasnt emp -_-

Bane_of_Fringe · May 2015

None, get wrecked if I don't gank

Jaxsun · June 2015

Your mom.

Soulac · June 2015

I had so many duels, hard to say which one was the best of them.
But the closest and longest fights I had were against Dusk, a DK who also won the tournament last year.
Right after the tournament we fought for nearly 45 minutes, everytime close on both sides. I think I lost in the end, damn Harness bug

Should have used whitestrake and Magicka range since Magicka Melee wasn't capable of destroying Harness, leading to an infinity ressource pool of your opponent.. Meh Dusk we didn't fight much the last months. Fight meee @drc7937

Raizin · June 2015

i had plenty but one funny comes to my mind, when i trolled one sorcerer (dont recall name, just know it was brigadier). I typed /read and i was seemingly reading map/was afk, he went full yolo and casted meteor on me, BUT he was eclipsed like 0,1 sec before it by me

= died instantly

...was so funny to watch

...

That ass wanted to oneshot afker
