Need some tips for PVP please

Rezk · November 2016

Hey guys, so I am new to the game and my first character is a dual wielding redguard stam dk but I feel like I do no dmg in pvp with him. So I want to ask you what combo (class, race, weapons, guild, armor all that jazz) is best for pvp. I like burst dmg and from what I hear stam nb with 2 handed and bow or magicka sorc with destruction and restoration is best for that sort of thing.

Help me out please. Keep in mind that I am talking stricly pvp. If you can also help me out with a build for that specific character too that would be awesome.

Also some tips to level fast would be cool as well.

Thank you for your time

Due to battle levelling it doesn't really matter what gear just make sure it's the right level, when I'm in BwB I wear the blue stuff that drops from rewards of the worthy. Just make sure to use purple weapons and get new ones every 5 levels. Try to level up 2H, S&B, bow and DW. You'll be glad when you're CP160 and have all that levelled up. Use a mixture of heavy and medium but use robust jewellery.

Remember experience is what will make you better. Knowing how to counter the other classes etc. but sometimes that means dying over and over to know your limits. Dont stand at the back, get stuck in, have fun!

Wow mate thank you very much but I still wanna know about the nightblade and sorcerer and which class is most powerful in pvp

until you get to cp160 play what you like the best and enjoy cuz one you hit cp160 this game is going to get ALOT ALOT harder

e/ here are the general playstyles

stam
nb - ganking, high damage, very good cc's but not frequent, good mobility
sorc - high damage, high healing, little to no cc, great mobility
dk - high damage, high tankyness, little to no cc, slow
templar - medium damage, high heals, cc's out the ass, super annoying to play against, slow

mag
nb - very hard to play, high healing, low damage, very op cc's and constant
sorc - hard to play, shield spam, high damage, good mobility
dk - lol just dont pvp on a mag dk, theyre all just dots
templar - typically the healer, makes for a very strong "beam build" but not very tanky, i'd stay away from this one too until your more into group play

what level are you and what have you put your attribute points into?

Rezk · November 2016

Level 19 all points in stamina

Lashiing · November 2016

when you hit cp160
5x black rose, 2x bloodspawn/veli, 3x agil, 1x MA/Master
or
5x black rose, 2x bloodspawn/veli, 4x anything you like

since dk's dont have viable gap closers you should def go 2h/bow or 2h/s&b
2h
claw, rally, crit charge, dizzying, executioner, db of smiting
bow
vigour, igneous shield, poison inject, wings, shuffle, corrosive
s&b
vigour, igneous shield, heroic, wings, shuffle, corrosive

Thank you guys so much for all the info.

So for a stam nb what are the best weapons? 2h with bow? dualwield with bow? And the best race? I've heard khajiit , imperial or bosmer are the best but I don't really know. Again this is strictly PVP. I don't like one handed and shield I won't use it lol.

And a question about the skill points reset. Let's say I reset my skill point and I have morphed abilities, do they go back to the normal ability at rank IV or at rank I or how does it work? So I get the skill point I used for the morph back too? It's a bit confusing.

Thank you all for your time.

For strictly PvP, Khajiit isn't really optimal, since most players run Impenetrable on most of their armor sets, thus negating the Khajiit passive crit bonus. However, that doesn't mean that Khajiits are useless in PvP, since they do have their regen and sneak attack bonuses.

For PvP, the optimal races are primarily Imperial and Redguard; Imperial for a huge chunk of extra health, and Redguard for unparalleled stamina sustain.

2W is bad in PvP, especially for DK, because compared to NB the class has no execute, no gap closer and no cheap spammable, just DoTs. You should switch to 2H/Bow (burst) or 2H/1H+S (tanky) approaches.

What faction and platform do you play?

bellanca6561n · November 2016

My advice has nothing to do with builds, skills, gear or the like.

I am not, nor have I ever been, an accomplished embodiment of some digital grim reaper, stealthing along the edges of battle like the hand of fate, ready to send scores of lesser foes to the bits and bytes hereafter. I play the core game of taking resources and keeps and always do so in groups.

I'll just give you my S.O.P.

1. Find a group. If your guild(s) have no expeditionary forces in Cyrodiil when you feel like going, find a group anyway.

It's easy. Head toward the most prominent conflict point (the map will show you), get on /zone, and ask to group. If one is offering a voice server too, choose that one. Yes, this last bit happens.

2. Follow the crown. There is NO WAY you're going to immediately "get" the flow of battle in that massive, open world combat zone. Good group leaders have developed those senses. The most important of those senses: when to hold and when to push.

3. Find a different crown to follow if your group is wiping constantly without any success.

ESO is two very different games: a painfully, agonizingly controlled and restricted PvE game, rigidly instanced. And an open world game that, at first, pure chaos.

In short, I believe that if you develop your situational awareness first the next steps will make MUCH more sense.

@Rezk For stamblade, you might want to use dual wield and 2h on off-bar for rally (very good heal+damage buff), or 2h + bow, depending on your playstyle. For race, I'd say Bosmer is the best since it has the most stamina regen and the same damage from stealth passive as Khajiit. But then again, just pick whichever race you prefer. Mine was Khajiit, which while good in PvE, is subpar in PvP, but cats are cute, so I rolled that.

When you reset your skill points, you gain back the skill point initially used to reset the skill AND the skill point used to morph it. If you just want to reset the morphs, then you will only gain back the points used to morph the skills.

Here, hopefully these build videos will be useful to you. They're from good players on PC EU. Well, good is relative, but if you want my humble opinion, they are worth it.

Huge thanks to everyone helping me out here. So the way to go is bosmer nb with 2h/dual wield and bow from what i've gathered from you guys. Despite that i'll go with khajiit cuz I think they're funnier too.

For the guy asking about the platform I am on PC EU and my dk is in DC and my newly created nb thanks to you guys is in AD.

Another thing if I may, I bought the gold edition and i got all dlc but i can't use imperial race. Don't you get it with gold edition?

Thank you all for your time
