We need more info to help you. Like what are you're stats, Do you have any magic resist, if so how much magic resist, your complete armor set up, etc. It shouldn't just insta kill you unless you're low level, or wearing crappy armor. Even then you should have time to run out of the red circle. Now if you're being hit by 3 to 5 desto ultis at once, (ie. zerg), you're going to die like everyone else. Give us more info on your setup so we can help.

Its largely positioning... I'm assuming its ball-groups - you gotta read the flow of them.. They almost always head to largest concentration of enemies - so spread out.. After dropping their ults, they always back off to regen ulti and almost always try to get people to follow them into a choke point where they'll drop ulti's again... Don't follow them in - and be ready for them coming back out - make sure you're off to the side and not with the main concentration of players again.

Destro ult can't be blocked, can't be dodged if you're in the area - but there IS a DW ability that will reduce the damage you take a lot if you do get stuck..

Yep, theres a reason most Destro ulti's you see are fire and not lightning... ofc if mag, there's mist-form..

Ok, so whenever I PvP, the thing that always ista-kills me are destro ults. This is while wearing heavy chest, equipping a sheild, even though I'm supposed to be dual weild build stamblade build.
So, any advice??

Healingstaffult "Lights Champion" is a great counter!

Thanks, for all the tips guys!

Some of you asked for my build details for further tips, so here goes:

I'm a stamina Nightblade Woodelf duel wield daggers and bow build.
I'm running 5 piece senche, 5 piece eternal hunt and molag kena.
Heavy chest, light feet, and the rest all medium.
Traits: 3impen, 2 well-fitted ,1 divines and 1 infused
Jewelry: all robust,
Weapons: all precise.

My stats, unbuffed:
Max magicka: 11493 , mag recovery: 611
Max health: 13875 , health recovery: 367
Max stam: 28519 , stam recovery: 2313

Weapon damage: 2192 , spell dmg: 1701
Weapon crit: 54% , spell crit: 22.9%

Physical resistance: 11416
Spell resistance: 11779
Crit resistance: 1101

My stats, with dubious camoran throne:
Max mag: 11493 , mag recovery: 611
Max health: 17772, health recovery: 367
Max stam: 32094, stam recovery: 2856
Skills:
Dual weild bar: ambush, quick cloack, surprise attack, steel tornado, killer's blade, incapacitating strike.
Bow bar: poison injection, resolving vigor, endless hail, mass hysteria, relentless focus, soul tether.

I think that's pretty much it.

You need to be roll dodging out of it. My Stamplar rolls a kinda similar build, she dies in 2-3 hits. You absolutely need to roll dodge out or you will die instantly.

Problem is in battles grounds, I roll dodge out but the destro ult is usually morphed to follow the caster. So all he does is follow me while I roll dodge and I die as soon as I get out of the roll dodging animation.

In other words, you're a melee glass cannon, relying on dodge to survive.

For clarity -- what gear do you have on your 12-slot side? What gear do you have when it's only 11 slots?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I'm guessing your asking if one my sets get's deactivated when I bar swap because only the 4 piece bonus is active. If that's the question then the answer is no. Both sets' 5 piece bonuses are active on both bars at all times.

Technically this is incorrect if your wear 2 kena. You will only have Eternal Hunt proc back bar and the ability to proc senche front bar and have the buff for the short duration back bar.

If you wear 1 kena this is possible tho.

Yes, I only wear 1 kena shoulder for weapon damage.

I totally get this, I've been in this situation before. All you can do is keep them CC'ed from a distance and hope the Eternal Hunt rune stops them. I'm sorry, that is all the answers you really have as a StamNB. You either burst him down first, or he gets you first.

You are using enchants on all your armor, right? You might want to run 3 or 4 health runes and the rest stamina runes. At 17K health, you're still pretty low for PvP of any sort. Usually people recommend around 22 - 23K health at minimum for PvP. That way you have a chance to heal some before the next hit.

With the right combo of Gear, Champion Points, and Loadout, you rarely even notice the Fire vulnerability (I am able to achieve this on a 5 Light, 1 Medium, 1 Heavy set up)...

Also, Vampire features one of the best counters to Destro Ult in the game; Elusive Mist...

I was talking more so from a stamina perspective. Shields dont even take extra damage from fire.

Ah...gotcha.

In that case, disregard my post; the other counters to Destro Ult mentioned here are better suited for you...

That's false, shield take extra damage on fire when you are vampire, shield take extra damage to cps damage stars too (elemental expert, thaumaturge, mighty ? (the physical/poison one) and master in arm).

How in the world was my reply to him false?

Several of the above posters mentioned ways to counter Destro Ult that are better suited for Stamina based players...

What exactly did I say that was false!?

Pvp without rally...



Anyway fear them off you, dodge with a bow and sprint.
Use shadow image smartly to escape.
Also you need more hp try for 21k~ at least.

Also you need shuffle somewhere and as soon as you see them destro pop vigor, have quick cloak up for 25% reduced aoe and sprint out of there and cloak.
