What class do you find the most difficult to fight in Cyrodiil? (No proc test Edition)
Kikazaru
✭✭✭✭✭
So we are halfway through the no proc test in CyrodiiI and I'm curious how much the balance of power has shifted since then!
Nbs and Sorcs have risen a lot in power as I have predicted! The amount of magicka sorcerers are at an all time high since like.... forever!

✭✭✭WardenSorcs are incredibly oppressive from range which is difficult, but if you lock them down you can kill them. Wardens I find are unkillable regardless of set criteria. I have a warden(with only 25k health)that I don't play very often, but I can testify if you are on your backbar it takes multiple people to kill you. Once you are cycling vines, arctic and vigor no one is taking you down😂4 -

Agree. Warden is hardest to take down.1 -
rbfrgsp✭✭✭✭✭WardenMost difficult to fight against, or fight as? I assume the former but it's not clear.
I voted Warden. Big and meaty and able to build up damage stacks easily.
Sorcs are leading the poll atm but they seem ok if you just time your stun+burst on them when their shields go down. Also the big secret is kill their pets. This extra demand on their sustain is usually enough to have them streaking off over the hills (obviously you don't kill them, but sending a sorc flying away into the night is a moral victory).Edited by rbfrgsp on February 27, 2021 11:35AM0 -

Kinda disagree here, found Stam Warden eazy to play and score *** of kills.
Magsorc in bg is just a class waiting to hit execute to steal the kill.
Funny that all the polls show sorc, bet it has something to do with proc set removal.
BTW bad wardens burst is countered eazy but if u fight a good one they land their combo pretty often1 -
Thraben✭✭✭✭✭WardenWhich class can actually defeat a MagSorc in ranged combat situations, and maybe even kill the Portsorc when he's trying to streak away?
Yes, it is the StamWarden.
By the way, both classes suffer from a lack of bar space, that's how good their class skills are.Hauptmann der Dolche des Königs

techyeshic✭✭✭✭✭SorcerersMagsorc. Unless you are in a magsorc, then it's warden as far as killing, but you can kite a warden.2

Yeah, this... Seems like most people are voting Sorcs, but that could be skewed by the sheer number of them AND the dual interpretability of the OP's question.
@Kikazaru , I suggest you clarify in the OP, or better yet in the title if possible! Most difficult to play against, or as?0 -

Whoopsie. It's the same as my previous poll, it has been corrected. I am talking about your opponents and which class you find to be the most challenging to fight against..

Well... then my vote is invalid! haha
Wardens would be my pick. Sorcs are annoying and ubiquitous, but Wardens just seem to be more complete (for lack of a better word) and hardy from the get-go. Slap on some stat and regen sets, and you're dangerous & hard to take down -- even before the no-proc testing.

INe_Saninus✭✭✭NightbladesI would say NB.
Mag Sorc second.
Stamden and Stamcro tied for third.
As a stam class main, Magsorc is frustrating because you have to keep pressure on a build that has great mobility.
They can keep distance with a CC, or Streak, or with Streak w/CC.
If you don't pressure them, you basically become a dummy parse and you get unloaded into.
If you get them down and they have even a second to recover, they reset the fight and you have to start over.
Unless you're built with taking one down in mind, it can be a frustrating fight.
Stamden and Stamcro are obviously just tanky with good dmg mitigation and healing options.
Combine with great burst potential (you can be dominating a duel and make one mistake and it's game over) and they can both be a challenge to take down.
...but a well played NB.
Whooooo... (wipes sweat from brow)
A well played NB is a monster. Someone who knows how to use Shadow Image AND Cloak...?! With a CC on their spamable...?!
They are a rare breed it it takes a lot of skill to get to that point (95% are mediocre at best), but that fight will have you rethinking everything from your build to your character choice. Smh.
Just my opinion.5 -
techyeshic✭✭✭✭✭SorcerersI've been having issues with seeing sorc damage. Like something gets desynced.
Just had 1 where I was fighting 1, hit crescent sweep in melee , they streaked away and I started getting curse and chunks of health dropping, I'm just spamming heals at range kind of watching nothing on me going "WTF!" as they appear to dark deal health back up, then they drop dead and I get an alert for killing blow from crescent sweep from at least 20 meters away.
This damned game sometimes.2 -

Word !
The problem with this poll is that it doesn't say if we're talking about BGs or Cyro. In Cyro you'll rarely have fair fights (it isn't the point) and from my experience as a magsorc that plays kinda in your face, it's definitely stamdens and stamcros.
In BGs it's a different story entirely we can't compare the two0 -
finehair✭✭✭✭SorcerersMagsorcs are difficult to fight yes, but easy to kill.

Jameson18✭✭✭✭✭WardenI parked my warden and necro. With or without procs, they're easy mode. TBH, Mag sorc is next easiest considering in no-proc.
Been having a blast on a bow/bow stam sorc, 2h/sb stam dk, and no-invis magblade. I like the feeling of danger.0 -
