    I vote for magicka DK. Although it can be really fun to snare people with choking talons and fossilize, they really struggle with mobility. I always felt like I was the last one to the fight. With Destro build, you're not going to get much burst from crushing shock. Lava whip is expensive, in magicka, and the proc is unpredictable.

    Some people love to play it for the challenge. With the right rotation: Buff, Choking Talons, Meteor, Fossilize, you can probably quickly burst someone down and kill them. However, this meteor-dependent rotation means a person would have to grind out mages guild to have access to it. Therefore, it's not easy to use for new players.

    Along with weak mobility, unless you're into Fiery Grip, magicka DKs also have no proper execute.

    MagDK is the only class that has to spec for either survivability or max damage. We have to be a Vamp for mobility, we have no range class skills, our gap closer works less than half the time. We have no burst without ults, we have no execute and our main source of damage can be purged. I could keep going, but it is sad. I still love MagDK though, but we need some help.

    If you're excluding VD, probably on a par with magicka DK. Both are pretty balanced if you look at it from a group perspective. Nothing can compete stamina 1v1 or solo PvP.

    IDK, game is the most balanced it's been for a while. I play all 4 classes and the only thing that stands out as OP is magicka Templar and stamina NB. Of course ignoring Malubeth but that is getting fixed.

    Actually magic dk and Magic sorc are weak due to forum warriors. Thanks for not learning to play but coming on the forum to tell us. Spoiler alert we already knew. Thanks ZOS for listening too well everyone who got rekt.
    Sorcerna, proud beta sorc. RIP April 2014 to May 31 2016 DArk Brotherhood. Out of retirement for negates and encases. Sorcerna will be going back into retirement to be my main crafter Fall 2018. Because an 8 k shield is f ing useless. Died because of baddies on the forum. Too much qq too little pew pew. 16 AD 2 DC. 0 EP cause they bad, CP 2300 plus 18 level 50 toons. NA, PC, Grey Host#SORCLIVESMATTER actually they don’t or they wouldn’t keep getting nerfed constantly.

    Magicka DK is weak in the solo department but makes up for it for being one of the best Tanks and Utility options for group based pvp. They may not be killers but they can take up a whole lot of aggro/damage for others in your group small or large scale.

    I personally think Ground based ultimate's are in need of a dire buff. Negate got its former glory back and more... its about time Standard, Consuming Darkness and Nova got buffs, its a shame we don't see these ultimates in pvp. With a buff to standard maybe Magicka DK could hold its ground easier in solo pvp.

    I say 2 things. Woodelf DK. I'm very weak. Less survivable. Less damage. I don't know how to make my dk woodelf better.

    But to answer your question. For weakest class for solo pvp. None of the above. They alll have there strenghts and weaknesses. Which I need to find what my strengths are. For my wood elf dk. (Also I couldn't decide which to choose. So I put the thing anove)

    It confuses me that Stamina classes could ever be picked in this poll. Players choosing Stamina classes clearly haven't PvPed very much or are oblivious to what it means for a class to underperform in PvP.

    Besides Magicka Templar, the Magicka specs are sensible choices for this poll. Especially the one flapping his wings :)

    Those who claim that solo magicka templar is OP, 100% don't play one.
    -No solid CC/root capability to hold enemies nearby.
    -No mobility, even with mistform(thanks to gapclosers' snare that making mist almost usless vs large groups chasing).
    -Worst class sustain(sorry but even 25k BoL won't save you if you out of stamina in open world).
    Ofcourse nowdays no magicka templar run solo in open world to pick this option, while majority of DKs were solo-rambos that were nerfed and based on this immersion "1dk can't win 15 enemies anymore" claiming they are worst. Anyone rationally prove that I am wrong?
    P.S.: by solo pvp I see 1vX, not 1v1.
