✭✭✭✭✭sorcerer.. DUH!From my experience, then only weakness a sorc has is lag. It suffers from bad lag far more than my other classes (press bolt escape, nothing happens so you walk forward instead, and after 10 seconds you get jerked back to where the original bolt would have taken you).1 -

✭✭seriously? nightblades ofcourse!Magicka sorcs are really strong in small scale situation but the shields are less powerful in big fights. The powerful shieldstaking combination of Hardened Ward + Harness Magicka works best against magicka builds, against stamina builds the spell shield is sometimes misleading because it appears you have a shield but it doesnt work against physical attacks.
NBs have the best CC in the game (Mass Hysteria), the best single target dps skill (Surprise Attack), the best gap-closer (Ambush) and they can evade a lot of dmg and remove dots with Dark Cloak. The problem is that NBs are very dependent on Cloak, if NBs are Marked or detected with aoe/detect pots/radiant mage light they usually die quickly.

Abeille✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭sorcerer.. DUH!Honestly, I voted Sorcerer because it is MY best pvp class. I am much better at pvp when playing my Magicka Sorcerer than when playing any of my NBs.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -
SemiD4rkness✭✭✭✭✭seriously? nightblades ofcourse!Nightblade = OP
Even though magicka sorc might be harder to deal with in 1v1, NB's cloak offer too much in open world, specially in IC.Edited by SemiD4rkness on January 25, 2016 9:31AM1 -
Lyrander✭✭✭seriously? nightblades ofcourse!I dont play a NB in PvP but they have fast spammable and cheap skills.
I think they are the best classes in pvp.
Just need to fix their broken skills.0 -
magnusthorek✭✭✭✭✭
✭That depends on what you're going to do in PvP, since PvP is placed where there are PvE stuff to be done too. If you're for questline, both NB and Sorcerer will do fine, but the real player versus player is not as trivial as it may sound with a Sorcerer.I am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).

willymchilybily✭✭✭✭seriously? nightblades ofcourse!i voted NB for the easiness of playing a class that has a working escape, a facility removed from some other classes in recent changes. but if you measure best by the AP gains it would have to be templar.PSN - WarpPigeon - Guild: TheSyndicate - EU, Ebonheart PactDragon Knight [Magicka] - 720 - StormproofNight Blade [Magicka] - 720 - StormproofSorcerer [Magicka] - 720 - Flawless ConquerorTemplar [Magicka] - 720 - StormproofDragon Knight [Stamina] - 720 - StormproofNight Blade [Stamina] - 720 - StormproofSorcerer [Stamina] - 7200 -
MishMash✭✭✭✭seriously? nightblades ofcourse!I like the excitement of the NB. The reason being you either kill quickly or die really fast. The odds are split most of the time and to me that makes it a fun class to play, and for PvP it is a class that you most likely will never see it coming. That is why I voted for the NB.PC NA DC 4eva! I try my very best. If it is not good enough for you too bad! Playing off and on since April 2014 CP2009.0 -

✭✭seriously? nightblades ofcourse!You know.... you could just change the thread title to "What's your favorite class to play!".
In my opinion each class can stand up very well in pvp.
Best 1v1 class : Stamina Dk or Magicka Sorc. (Nb's are alright but are much more effective when they can line of sight, stam dk and mag sorc can easily stand their ground)
Best Open World : Stamina/Magicka Night-blade. (Mobility and Evasion take's this)
Best Buddy Class : Magicka Templar or Stamina Sorcerer (Both of these classes do very well with one other player with them)
Best Group Class : Magicka DK (Underrated but I personally think they have a lot going for them for group play)
These are just opinion's on classes in pvp.

crowfl56✭✭✭✭✭In MMO that has a good pvp environment the NB class has always been the Griefer choice.
I have watched the NB in this game go from a so-so pvp class to a very OP class from all the forum whinning from those
very same players that had NB's in other MMO's and just wasted people at every turn.
I thought finally I don't need to watch my back, LOL. nope this game worked its magic and low and behold the NB (aka griefers) are here.
Thank you (not) ZOS

mhmfrogub17_ESO✭✭✭People that PvP normally don't have original builds, most are made for PvP using other peoples build that were found to be good.
PvE and PvP should apply the same rules but as is stands, PvE builds aren't good in PvP and PvP builds aren't that good in PvE.1 -
