PvP in small groups has been great this patch

GreatWhite000 · June 2016

Not sure why exactly, but PvP has been quite easier in smaller groups since DB released, and damage on stam characters has gone up a bit (especially with templars, they hit like trucks now), to the point where you can do enough damage to larger groups to have a chance at beating them. This is the most fun I've had in PvP in a long ass time, would definitely recommend giving it a go if you took a break from the game after Thieves Guild.

Small groups(really small, not so-called 'small zerg') are really became much stronger. Very unexpectable. Now they need to fix all new bugs.

Shame it is horrific for solo players excluding rollipoli builds -.- Brb rerolling stam

I run in a group of 3-4. Too small to take keeps but enough to consistently stay alive and murder people.

@Blobsky yeah solo is pretty hard a lot of the time, it's been a bit more active in IC/the sewers this patch which has been a pleasant change.

At least it's easier to make friends to consistently form 2-3 player teams instead of 15+.

Solo is still a challenge, but that's not necessarily bad.

I generally PvP with our guild group during the day that usually has between 6 and 12 players and groups that used to run us over if we were in the way are now much easier to deal with. I don't know if it was the patch or what happened the weekend before the patch, but players and groups that used to be nearly impossible to kill now seem mortal. It has made for a much more enjoyable experience. As a bonus I got my Kill a Grand Overlord achievement this past week.

Solo its easy for me only on sorc, becasue I can esly escape in most situations with my sick magicka regens. As templar is really hard, if I have rocks near and can mistform behind them and pop invisibility pot i might survive vs zerg but in most scenarios I am eaten by 20 smurfs.

Those ppls are so bad. If they split for some time from they healbots they are just rekt easly by one skilled player.. Also I dont get why they are try harding single player so badly, using det pots, flares, caltrops etc. Shame on them!

I agree. I play solo 95% of the time and I find it much easier to deal with bigger groups. I think it's because for whatever reason damage is alot higher this patch. Although I do find I'm taking WAY more damage also. Rollipolli ftw

Yeah I do enjoy a good group of 2-4 this patch. Aside from the serious bugs and odd increase in incoming damage, killing people seems easier. Ty dawnbreaker

Bet a lot of those players are missing their cheat engine, just showed how many people were using it, to damn many !!!

I am sure the patch had a little to with it, I rebuilt my toon the same way as before DB and I hit about the same, weapons glyphs a little harder when they proc, but overall I can't tell much difference, was not a huge animation canceling player so I don't notice anything different in the combat, I am about a vanilla player as one can be, and still have pretty good success, using tactics and hanging with the small group, 4 to 12 man guild group, and my guild is mostly a pve guild.

the amount of incoming damage is insane. i dont recall it being this high on the pts when i was build testing.seems like magic templars can just about 2 to 3 shot people with flare. but i have enjoyed the 4 to 6 man IC groups lots of fun.

I've been noticing some weird damage too. When I'm not teleporting across the map from 5 people gap closing me there have been times where I'm fighting and then I'm just dead, like what just happened???

What campaign do you play in? I'm in Azura and having a blast in there.

Mojomonkeyman · June 2016

I have so much fun solo since DB hit, especially in the IC districts. Loving the patch so far.
