    I say nightblades.

    Just started playing mine a few days ago. Its actually pretty difficult, and will take alot of getting used to, on top of the fact that cloak still doesn't work for ***.

    Any class can be easy to kill, according to kill counter the number one class I have killed is Dragon knight, followed by, night blades, sorcs and Templars, I know this is more of a population thing, but I cannot put my finger on one class that I would say I kill the easiest.

    If nightblades get the jump on you they might kill you quickly because of that stealth ***, other wise, you just throw caltrops down and they are pretty much done

    Stam NB specifically, some are so squishy. Stam sorcs are just as squishy but can move really fast. Magicka DKs are next, but about half my attacks are projectiles so their reflect counters me well. Templars are next, stamina or magicka. Sorcs are next, especially if they stack harness on hardened. Stam DKs are the hardest for me, their insane damage combined with good mitigation is hard to counter 1v1.

    Edit: forgot mageblades; assuming they stay around to fight I would put them somewhere between mage dks and temlars on my list. Not the hardest but can be tricky.

    I'm a sorc that runs no CC on my bars... Most people are an easy instant kill with my burst, but those dragon knights have them damn flappy wings (Reflective scales).
    My ping is higher than your resource recovery...

    I had a feeling most people would say NBs are squishy. But they seem squishy to the masses because

    1. its the fotm
    2. most nbs are glass cannon that cant/dont know how to sustain


    imo, DKs are the easiest to kill, followed by NBs.

    Poorly played FOTM stam NBs, although not sure if the ease to kill is perceptive simply because there are more of them at the moment. Any poorly played class is easy to kill in point of fact and there are players I could name from each class who are an extreme challenge in any circumstance.

    I'm stuck between Templar and Nightblade. They are pretty on-par I guess for me. The only main difference is, if a Nightblade catches me off-guard, I'll be dead before I can blink.
    A templar can sit there jabbing me for 5 minutes before I return to my keyboard to find I'm still alive.

    exactly this.

    That´s the problem. When competent magica templar encounters you he has to fear nothing too - apart from dying of boredom because all he can ever hope for is a stalemate.

    That´s the core design problem with the templar class. They can´t give the class the same offensive potential as other classes have because of the redicilous support capability (they could have solved that by really making stamplar a vaible DPS role).

    NBs are the easiest class for me to kill on my NB, that or templars.

    On my templar, NBs can't kill me very well, but I also can't really kill them, same goes for sorcs, so I would say as a Templar DKs or other templars are the easiest kills (unless they are a high DPS templar or super tanky DK, then that makes it harder).


    I kinda see it like a bit of a rock paper scissors thing.

    It really depends on the situation but if the players doesnt want to die in open world pvp nb and sorc have it way easier to not die then templars and dks. Templar has way better heals, so my vote goes for dk. However stam dk is really strong on 1v1.

    It really really depends how you set the question I think. By easier you mean offers less threat or less time taken for kill after engagement? Is this in 1v1 setting or open world? Outnumbered or outnumbering?

    Less threat is usually magicka DKs and Templars but they can take a looong time to kill even if you outnumber them.

    Nightblades of both varieties are usually the easiest to burst if you pop them out of cloak with detect pots or mark, but they also have a lot of CC and damage so they offer the highest threat too.

    Magicka Sorcs have probably the best a combination of damage and mobility which makes them tough to handle in open PvP. Not as bursty as stamina builds due to the CP system but more survivable in the open world.

    Stam DKs have a good combination of tankiness, damage output and mobility. Not as mobile as Sorcs but with more sustained damage, CC and burst. If you outnumber them they are easier to kill than some other classes, but when the numbers are even they can be some of the hardest to kill. Usually the last you focus on in a small group.

    If you are asking which quest is the slowest to fill, that also depends on how the classes are played and the populations they have. Templars are harder to find solo and are usually pretty tanky in the middle of groups, so that quest fills the slowest. Sorcs and NBs are pretty quick to fill for me as you always find these classes roaming solo/duo and you can tag kills pretty easy.

    Dragonknight has its issues, but I don't think it's anywhere near the easiest class to kill.

    Having mobility issues in 1vx, has nothing to do with being easy to kill 1v1. That being said, NB should be the "easiest class to kill". There are only a handful of NB that really know how to work around this.

    As a NB i feel very fragile and easy to kill, yet i rack up the kills(generally 8+ kills per death)

    As a templar I love puncturing sweeps.... lol.. No NB can stay in stealth...

    As a DK my flappy flappys help alot......

    I personally thing NB are easiest to kill,
    Then most DK's
    Then Templars provided you can hit them hard and fast..

    lastly sorcs shields are normally just not worth the effort....

    Sorc - has pretty good survivablity with Ward and better access to heals, but their heals pale compared to the Templar. But are enough to keep going. Killing a Sorc depends on who we are talking about though. You need to be creative to kill him as a Templar. But 80% of the time its 1. Get him to not be able to spam shard, 2. Crack through his shield put on a heal debuff and out DPS him in CQC.

    DK - Reflect Scales, sometimes Dragon Blood and Vigor these guys aren't that easy to crack. But they have ok-ish heals over time. Dark Flare hurts DKs healing availability a lot though. Once you crack his Scales and spank a Heal Debuff on him hes done for.

    Templar - Can spam Ritual to get rid of HoT/Debuffs and HoD, and keep trucking, also need to be creative with killing Templars. But the key with them is getting a heal debuff on them, to put a lid on their self healing then out DPS them while they desperately try to out heal it.

    NB - Cloak is really all he has for defense but it provides no heals, nor does any of his class abilities give him healing options outside of slotting Siphoning Skills[yay?]. Has no good skill avaliable heals except for Vigor which is a AvA rank 5 skill. Once you smack a NB with Dark Flare he is really in trouble. All he can do then is run if he gets hit by a heal debuff or out DPS his attacker before he dies. This is why Detect potions are his enemy.

    Man I sure do use Dark Flare a lot...

    It's really just anyone who doesn't know what they're doing. I feel squishy as a templar because I wear 5 light, 2 heavy and can dodge roll or break CC twice until I'm out of stamina. However, every class has a very effective "tank" build which makes everyone hard to kill.
    I run into more NB's that try to ambush me to death, so that puts them on the top of my list. Magicka templars are a close second because I know the class.
