Would like to create new PvP Char

Aevom · November 2017

Hello everyone,

ill make it short:

I was inactive in game for more than a year. Coming back now and would like to start a new char, just for PvP. Which would you say is the best to go now ? Like which class in combination with what gear / weapons / skill tree ?

Thanks in advance

Edit: I do not own any of the DLCs- playing on PC

There isn't really a "best" as balance whilst not perfect has got a lot better.

It really depends what kind of style you want to play, if you can answer the below people will be able to fine tune something for you.

Which of these do you want most?

Solo/Small Group/Large Raid
Brawling/Ganking/Skirmish
Melee/Ranged
Favourite race (if this is important to you)
Openworld PvP (Cyrodiil) or 4v4v4 (Battlegrounds)

Thanks for your reply Turelus. Okay it's just that ive went through some different threads and saw that some of the classes are less effective than others, but it surely depends on some points, just as your questions..

The thing is that I've been off that game for a way too long time, I feel like a total noob atm. I'll try to answer these :

[*] Solo/Small Group/Large Raid
> Solo

[*] Brawling/Ganking/Skirmish
> Id like to deal high damage on 1 v 1 like duels, maybe being able to handle also a 2v1 - i guess it's something between ganking and brawling ?

[*] Melee/Ranged
> im up for new stuff so would not care about that much. I like the combine them both, if that's possible and makes sense in that case..

[*] Favourite race (if this is important to you)
> I stupidly here would go for the one with the minimal best stats - Tho I know it's just a +- difference.

[*] Openworld PvP (Cyrodiil) or 4v4v4 (Battlegrounds)
> Shame but tbh never tried 4v4v4 yet , I think Open World is the right thing for me

Thanks a lot !

There are a lot of threads which will state one class is better than others, or that some are horrible and it's not all without some truth but the gap is not as huge as it once was.

I can't give you too much advice as I only casually PvP from time to time these days and was more raid leader back when I did it a lot.

Dragonknight or Templar seems to be more in line with what you're after, they're a little more brawler/heal/tank based than the Nightblade or Sorcerer.

You could try checking out some builds in the sites linked in my signature (AlcastHQ & Tamriel Foundry), or if you check Deltia's site he normally has some builds/guides.

Otherwise I'll have to chime out and hope you get some PvP players with a bit more current affairs knowledge come post.

Magblade > magDK/magplar for trying to force 1v1 fights while running around open world. Reason being Templar and DK just don't have the mobilty needed to force those odds.

Magblade also let's you choose either melee or ranged, and has strong HoTs with perfect burst. And they can be built tanky. Look at Kena's videos or @CavalryPK for magblade builds.

It will take time to get used to how nightblades play. But they are beautiful classes, and much of cyro is judged based on their performance.

If you want Templar, I'll be more than happy to help

OP seems like he wants magblade.

Magblade is not the easiest class though.

If OP wants easy, Stam warden.

Magplar is a pretty easy class to learn. It has it's limitations open world solo but overall it's a very solid class.

Thank you guys for all the reply. I'm currently playing a Templar Healer , PvE only since I'm a onehit on the field

Well I think I might give the mag blade a try, it does not have to be easy, I like challenges and finding out how things work. I'll check some guides and builds for it then. If you have any suggestions for me already now I'd really appreciate it. Like what can I start with even now as level 1, what weapons , gear set and skills should I aim for ?

Thanks !!
