I’m a returning player and I just spent the last 2 weeks of mid year mayhem in the under 50 campaign on my Stamplar, really trying to get good at PvP. I’m quite happy with the damage I can put out and i’m often top in battlegrounds, though I really lack survivability even though I’m wearing 5 piece heavy and running 3 heals.
Here’s the thing. I rarely ever struggle to kill someone 1 on 1 unless it’s a MagDk or Magsorc. When it’s a MagDk or Magsorc I die 95% of the time. I often see people say that skill is everything in ESO but every time I die to one of these 2 classes it’s not even close and no matter what I do I don’t have a chance.
Let’s start with MagDk, the lesser of the two evils. I have seen Magdks run into a keep in Cyrodiil, tank every mob in the keep and still manage to take down 3 players before dying. How to take down a class that can tank and outheal most damage?
Now the real evil, Magsorc. Wow this class is beyond OP! It was the same way when I quit the game 2 years ago so I’m shocked they still haven’t been nerfed. I have bumped into multiple Magsorcs in Cyrodiil who can 3-5 shot me.... from 30m away! This alone is really hard to fight against, however Magsorcs also have survivability on par with Magdks. It’s crazy that a Magsorc can tank and outheal all your damage then turn around and 3 shot you. Even more crazy when they can kill you from 30m away before you even know what’s hitting you.
I really want to know how to deal with these two classes before I lose motivation in the game. Am I doing something wrong or are these classes just broken OP?
