Current 1vX Class Tier List

templesus · January 2019

With Necromancer slated for release in a few months, I thought id do an updated 1vX tier list for classes on the current patch to compare with after its launched. This will let us see how the implementation of a new class effects the balancing of the other 5 classes. Keep in mind this is all opinionated and subjective, so this may or may not align with your beliefs and feel free to chime in below.

S Tier: Stamden, Stamblade

Stamden has the best AOE burst potential in the game, which is the necessary for 1vX on classes without Cloak. Cloak is the reason Stamblade is S tier, the ability to disengage from a fight and come back in allows them to easily pick off targets individually. Both factors give these two S grades.

A Tier: Magsorc, Magden

Magsorcs have extremely good mobility and solid survivability+burst, which put them up here in the A. Magden has very good AOE utility and burst, giving them an A as well.

B Tier: Stamplar, StamDK, MagDk

Stamplar has good burst damage, but low survivability. StamDK has good survivability, but low burst damage. MagDK has a decent amount of both, which gives all three B grades.

C Tier: Magblade, StamSorc, Magplar

The only thing going for Magblade and Stamsorc honestly is their mobility. They don't have good damage, dont have good survivability, and are overall just lacking when it comes to 1vX. Magplar on the converse end has decent damage, and good survivability, but lacks in the ability to truly 1vX well because of the way the class is designed in such that you cannot really play offensive without being open to burst. These factors put all three at C grades.

I believe every class this patch can be strong, unlike other patches. Balance right now is in a very good spot, with only slight tweaks needing to be made to make the bottom performing classes in A or above, specifically tweaks to passives. Compared to my previous posts on Tiers, certain classes are looking a lot better.

Balance is atrocious right now are you kidding me? Lol. 1vX’ing is nearly dead because of the absolutely pitiful balance this game has to offer

Elusiin · January 2019

Lol MagDK is S rank just saying. Reflective scales, fossilize, talons, whip, and a gap closer all you need to take on multiple enemies.

Surely you’ll post a clip of you 1vXing on MagDk then?

I meant balance between classes. Overall balance especially for 1vX is awful. 1vXers have been nerfed so much the past few patches it’s not even a joke.

Mage sorc above stamplar and in tier A ? Mage DK in B and stamsorc in C. LOL. You are a big joke. Sorry, I cannot stop laughing. Where is god tier Stam DK ? Non existent

Instead of asking him post your video against a good DK in a duel tournament. Just post any video of mage sorc playing in dueling tournament in last six months

We can talk about 1vX later.

S: Stamblade;
A: StamDen,MagDK, StamDK,
B: Stamplar, MagPlar, StamSorc
C: MagBlade, MagSorc

MagDen

An able Stamblade of the Trollking-Shadow-Teleport kind is a fearsome enemy. Luckily, there are very few of such Nightblades around.

Dragonknights are in a strange position: While they know they will likely win when the fight takes longer, their victims know it as well: And they lack the mobility to prevent them from sneaking or streaking away.

StamDen should be clear: A mix of the Stamblade´s single target burst and the StamSorc´s durablity and AoE damage, combined with Templar-like self-healing.

A Stamplar is a burst class like the Nightblade, but one who can´t reset the fight, and one who must end it quickly.

Magplars of the Duelist type can be quite strong.

Stamsorcs have the highest AoE Damage and AoE survivability of the Stamina classes, but both is more or less useless when you don´t engage more than 3 enemies at once, and when everyone wears TrollKing. The class also lacks burst.

MagBlade and MagSorcs are Potato smashers. They pick easy targets and then go away. Against prepared enemies they struggle, or have to rely on some Caluurion/ Zaan cheese.

MagDen: Well, the last time I died to a Magden was when I accidently hit Werewolf transformation while autorunning through Cyro and eating a kebap. This was also the only time in like 2 years.

You truly underestimate a good stamsorc. The class has all the potential in the world if built and played properly.

If you cannot 1v1 with a class how can you do 1vx? Fighting 10 mudcrabs any class can do and making garbage post anyone can do.

Dueling also has nothing to do with 1vXing, so you’re right it does mean nothing.

ak_pvp · January 2019

S: Stamblade, StamDen. Top tier
A: StamSorc, StamDK. Good
B: Stamplar, MagPlar, MagDK. OK
C: MagBlade, MagSorc, MagDen. Bit lacking

Of course this is 1vX, whilst the bottom tier has their own, strengths, they will stalemate vs a few of builds so won't actually kill them. 1runawayfromX they could be much higher

thankyourat · January 2019

I pretty much agree with most your list. I would move Stamden ahead of stamblade though I don't think they are equal I think Stamden is in clear first place so maybe something like S+ while stamblade is S. I would move magplar to B because I don't think it's as bad as magblade and stamsorc right now. Mag warden could possibly be S teir as well.

This is pretty much correct. Though I'm very pissed at what magblade has become since I started playing it over a year ago. I feel in love with a playstyle that no longer exists. I hate the current PvP meta for magblades

So most stamsorcs have changed to other classes becuase they didn't want to be so strong ?

I main a stamsorc and I think it's in a pretty bad place right now, for 1vx/solo anyway. It has bad survivability, no class damage/burst and it's 2 strong points being speed and sustain have been nerfed hard. Stamsorc can be good in groups with spin2win but that's not going to work in most situations and the class being seen as good because it can use spin2win, bleeds and has an rng execute is annoying.

katorga · January 2019

S: stamden and stamblade, no downsides.
C. Everything else, because they all have some downside or weakness they have to compensate for.

I'm on the fence on which is Number One, stamblade or stamden. I lean toward stamblade because it just has superlative stamina morph class skills. Seriously, how many other classes have stam morphs for class gap closer, spammable, burst, execute, AND a good stam ultimate? Not to mention they are all good, to best in game. It is the only class that I think ZOS put any thought into making stamina.Warden is really good, and I like the healing, ult regen, and overall tankiness, but you don't have the open-ended build options stamblade does.

Pelican · January 2019

Stamden is quite overrated imo, it is not as good for solo play as most people think. I have not seen any people using stamden to 1vX in a very long time and when I tried it myself this patch I find it to be on par with stamsorc.

Joy_Division · January 2019

When I was in school, I always strove for grades of "S."

Magplar isn't easy to 1vX, but it's certainly not on the bottom tier.

It’s correct. If you have to wear pirate skeleton or skoria on a class to 1vX, it’s not good at 1vXing.

Somebody is either trying to push an agenda or has absolutely no clue.

People before me have already corrected the list, so I won't bother here.

I'd put magblade below magplar and stam sorc. Give it it's own tier. Only a good magblade is going to consistently 1vx. Any other class can have an average player x premium potato.

I think stamblade should be SS and stamden S. A heavy stamblade can still output enough dps to instagib but Cloak means you can x virtually anywhere. Stamden needs LoS more.

Mag sorc placement is fickle. It can be really strong or really weak depending on enemy composition, moreso than other classes since it cannot burst high health builds. I'd place it in-between A & B for that reason alone.

I also think you should include some way to indicate gap between Tier.

(assuming stamblade is SS and stamden S)

The difference between SS and S is very minute, and S-A would be fairly small but larger than SS-S. A-B would be considerable and B-C would be smaller than S-A and C-D slightly larger than SS-S.

Knowing that, how many watermelons did Johnny buy from the grocery store?

With Necromancer slated for release in a few months, I thought id do an updated 1vX tier list for classes on the current patch to compare with after its launched. This will let us see how the implementation of a new class effects the balancing of the other 5 classes. Keep in mind this is all opinionated and subjective, so this may or may not align with your beliefs and feel free to chime in below.

S Tier: Stamden, Stamblade

Stamden has the best AOE burst potential in the game, which is the necessary for 1vX on classes without Cloak. Cloak is the reason Stamblade is S tier, the ability to disengage from a fight and come back in allows them to easily pick off targets individually. Both factors give these two S grades.

A Tier: Magsorc, Magden

Magsorcs have extremely good mobility and solid survivability+burst, which put them up here in the A. Magden has very good AOE utility and burst, giving them an A as well.

B Tier: Stamplar, StamDK, MagDk

Stamplar has good burst damage, but low survivability. StamDK has good survivability, but low burst damage. MagDK has a decent amount of both, which gives all three B grades.

C Tier: Magblade, StamSorc, Magplar

The only thing going for Magblade and Stamsorc honestly is their mobility. They don't have good damage, dont have good survivability, and are overall just lacking when it comes to 1vX. Magplar on the converse end has decent damage, and good survivability, but lacks in the ability to truly 1vX well because of the way the class is designed in such that you cannot really play offensive without being open to burst. These factors put all three at C grades.

I believe every class this patch can be strong, unlike other patches. Balance right now is in a very good spot, with only slight tweaks needing to be made to make the bottom performing classes in A or above, specifically tweaks to passives. Compared to my previous posts on Tiers, certain classes are looking a lot better.

Mage sorc above stamplar and in tier A ? Mage DK in B and stamsorc in C. LOL. You are a big joke. Sorry, I cannot stop laughing. Where is god tier Stam DK ? Non existent

Instead of asking him post your video against a good DK in a duel tournament. Just post any video of mage sorc playing in dueling tournament in last six months We can talk about 1vX later.

A magsorc took 2nd place in the most recent Legend dueling tournament. A stam DK won first.

Well that means nothing. Tournaments have rules. 1vX doesnt

You're right. But I was responding to Priyasekarssk's comment that mag sorcs can't duel.
