    can we (EP) please stop complaining about the AD zerging? I for one like them because they are mostly Easy ap and large in numbers. The only reason they are having any form of success is that EP keeps sieging keeps with less than 20/20 ALL THE TIME. DONT TRY TO TAKE KEEPS WITHOUT 20/20 siege. Its tiring seeing Great 1 v X ep guilds struggle to put put like 5 siege to take keep. stop blaming AD and show some commitment.

    That was TD (Total Dominionation). Mainly pug wranglers but have in the past required people join their discord at least.

    Anyway, got rekt for taking a home keep with no scrolls in play, lol.

    You know I actually admire those players that take it upon themselves to wrangle players from zone chat. It's a good thing and yes new players and some times even old players are easy AP. But when you stop and really think about it everyone started at the same place when they bought this game and its never really the destination but the journey we take that truly matters. So the best anyone can ever do is be thankful for what have or get because what would it be like if you didn't.

    Absolutely, it's a thankless job and we remember times when there wasn't any group willing to pick up LFGers in zone and we would always wonder what the rest of the faction was doing (answer: not a gd thing). It was a bit silly though when they would get to TD raid 4 (only once that I recall but have seen TD3 multiple times) and they'd stack all the raids in the same location. Lately they've been getting a bit better about sending one raid here and another there, and so on, even if they don't always show results they are trying to improve. I think this increased organization on AD's side has really hindered EP the last few days to a degree. AD does tend to be full of weekend warriors though so we'll see where it goes.

    Still, we should be leaving those tri-keeps alone when there aren't any scrolls there.

    Nice video. Was the @Alishka_Gunter just bringing this to my attention or something? I didn't see my name in there? As for Devine, he's running his sorc killer build. In that spec he is utterly useless against any stamblade. Even I crush him 1v1 in that spec.

    Really though, I thought I'd see alot more from Josh by name. Only a couple decent players in there, hell some weren't even level 50 lol.

    Why didn't Josh post it himself?

    Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I was unable to access forums so I asked my friend Scam to post it. Also I believe she tagged you because you brought up Devine Syn previously, she didn't mean to make it look like you were in the video, since she couldn't tag him she tagged you.
    As for everything else you said, I agree, it was a Tanky spec and at times the fights felt slow however I was glad with the result, the beauty of Azuras is cp means almost nothing after 160 because it's a more balanced playing field, had this been trueflame or Haderus, it wouldn't be impressive at all, but 1vXing anything in Azuras is an extremely large toll on ones resources I only realized after that I used one too many damage glyphs and I was actually running 1300 stamina recovery instead of 1536, also, all the clips were recorded within the exact same day because I was eager to post my first video, hope that clears things up! Once again thanks for the feedback it's always nice getting advice maybe you could give me some tips on 1vXing better players or let me check out some of the PvP videos you have posted, I'm sure there's lots for me to learn from you :smiley:

    Your video is good and the fact that you can successfully 1vX on AZ as a stamblade and not a class that makes it easy (stamplar, stamsorc) also highlights that you are a good 1vXer and a great NB. I'd like to offer you a challenge of sorts. If your interested, message me in-game. I'll take you off ignore. If not, no worries.

    Completely agree. Everyone on all timezones should be encouraged to speak out if this happens when scrolls aren't around.

    Though id take it a step further and say it also applies to resources. This is because a low pop faction should be encouraged to make interesting advances in the map. If any objectives, after scrolls are taken, are still being hit, the low pop faction will still defend objectives instead of trying to make the map a more dynamic place.

    Triple the radius of negate. Make it negate all abilities, both stam and magicka, for every class except for sorcerors who magically walk through all the negates like it's magic. So magic.

    I think it should delete any players account caught in a negate. As well as the memory of the said player, if at all possible.

    That goes without saying. So long as you don't stand stationary as a ranged fighter and you focus on keeping the target at range, then yes, a ranged class is easier to play.

    That isn't to say melee classes have methods to negate range quite effectively.

    As much as I wish that were true, I think it's clear that melee has a significant advantage over ranged in ESO. The only exception is magsorc, but even then only 1v1 with mines up.

    Gap closers are stupidly brokenly OP in this game. The range is enormous, the speed is supersonic, the damage is high, the cost is low, and that heavy snare on the victim is absolutely punishing.

    Kiting is actually pretty difficult, especially when outnumbered. Nightblades and Sorcs have some tools that are ok, but between easy snare purges and OP gap closers you are better off just playing melee yourself.

    With that said, melee does have the disadvantage in big battles because they have all kinds of things being flung at them whenever they step up to the front lines.

    @Solariken completely agree about gap closers doing way too much in this game. Gap closers make kiting in this game impossible. Luckily, most people that get 1vxed haven't discovered this, or do not wish to actually engage targets (they'd rather hit targets while hiding behind their friends). Things that kill me in 1vx situations: slows/root spam , multiple people gap closing into me (tons of damage, lose ability to kite), mages wrath/endless fury, power of the light, when the x becomes aggressive instead of just standing there like potatoes.
    Some say speed kills, I hope to be proof of that.

    The biggest irony to 1vX in ESO is how it gets easier the more enemies there are (within reason), and how actually getting 'help' is usually just a chance for somebody to hand out unnecessary CC immunity or steal valuable Wards/Troll King procs. Same holds true for opponents, so many dangerous players become weaker once they have a member of their X haphazardly handing out free CC immunity and damage for additional 'chance on damage taken' procs.

    I would rather 1v5 a bunch of randoms, than have to 1v2 or 2v5 with a random of my own.
