Help Me! PvP Build (somewhat ganker)

Night_Wolf2112 · September 2016

I am currently running --- Bow/2h (Bosmer) NB
5 Archers Mind - 5 Hundings Rage - 1 piece Vildreth

Wep dmg is only like 2400 with ralley/relentless focus buff up.
That seems low when I read other builds...

Any advice on skills, armor/wep sets, traits, enchants, food, to increase dmg and survivability.

Weapon damage enchants on juwelry and bow

First questions anyone would ask is...char level/CP? Then would be what color your gear is(upgrade), then mundus boon. Those 3 weigh pretty heavily on answers and what to do.

It is hard to give advice as others have said, without knowing your full set up. As general bits of advice, a lot of people run impen in PvP, and all of your gear is fairly crit based. You're going to have lots of trouble with those people.

Maybe try out sets like Viper, Widowmaker, or Clever Alchemist as they provide bonuses that help more than on playstyle and see if that helps your gank potential.

2,400 buffed is pretty low. Personally I'd swap out archer's mind for Marksman if you use bow skills a lot. It'll give you cheaper stam abilities, extra damage with a bow and it has a weapon damage bonus. Make sure you have weapon damage enchants on jewellery, and always have a gold weapon (It'll add like 200 weapon damage. Huge difference).
Critical damage won't do much if every man and his dog is running around in impen and transmutation. If you already have a high amount of crit, then sure, but if not you're better off just stacking more weapon damage.

5 x Night Mothers with 5 x Viper & VMA 2H.
Cloak (or stampede with the VMA 2H is also sweet) to guarantee the initial procs, then a crit in every 4-5 hits is enough to keep the buff up from NM.
I prefer Maul for more penetration on heavier armour builds, & I don't have a VMA bow yet so I just crafted a sharpened bow.
Sharpened traits make a big difference...I tried Nirnhoned but the sharpened appeared to give better numbers.
CP alteration for Weapon Damage & Penetration...little point continuously critting all the 5-7 piece impenetrable setups in Pvp atm.

Not claiming to be an expert but that's my ganking setup because they're "fixing" Vice Cannon in October so I've dumped it entirely.

out of curiosity..... what was 'wrong' with Vice Cannon that needing 'fixing'?

As you would know, it will proc with a crit hit from crouch.
Clearly then that means casting cloak prior to any attack will guarantee a proc, as cloak guarantees a crit, and crouches you (even if you are brought out from stealth).
The "fix" now silently activated on PTS is that cloak will no longer proc the vice cannon.
Bought 6 armour pieces & 4 weapons, then made those all legendary, plus 5 rings...it's been an expensive exercise for a set that's come October is almost impossible to proc...
