https://youtu.be/glcCdqk9RHIUnderneath the shadow of malacath and all of the proc sets that deal damage and heal for you, ESO still has a fun, well-designed combat system. When light attacks no longer proc random dawnbreakers (Syvarra's Scales), crit charge doesn't auto place a 2k DPS dot on your entire group (Unleashed Terror / Merciless Charge), lightning heavies don't channel for 15k damage, etc. the game's combat is much more rewarding. Blocking matters more, dodging matters more, positioning, timing your burst, working as a team, all these things matter so much more when the game plays as intended. It's not perfect, but it's still great fun when it works.
This is also probably the only time we can experience this kind of combat in ESO. If you like pvp, to go out there with your friends and play and relearn and remaster the basic gameplay mechanics again. The stuff we've all forgotten ever since a wobbly beam started melting everyone for us.
The best times to play are Grayhost morning to early afternoon, Blackreach after that is playable until it hits triple bar+.
GL out there.

Dunning_Kruger✭✭✭✭Yeah it’s kinda wild how fast zergs won’t kill you when they are forced to hit abilities; and lightning heavy attacks don’t do gigabusted damage for no reason.____________________________________

✭✭✭✭✭The first thing I noticed watching the video was the genuine joy you and your group had playing the game. It's not something I now hear or come across very often.

Sorry for the late reply. I just saw this and wanted to explain.
The people in this video mainly learned to pvp together in Cyrodil years ago. We started out bad but we got good together. After that, we all took long breaks from ESO and only recently started pvping together again.
We've been through enough in Cyro that we know what to expect. We're not really thinking about what the game used to be or could be. We play when we know it would be enjoyable and stop when it's not. We take game mechanics seriously but we're also just messing around in comms at the same time. I think PVP in this game could be really fun if you just take it for what it is and play around its faults.
Also, solo pvp is a bit overrated imo. Playing in a small group of friends is way more enjoyable and more mechanically interesting.0 -

Gotta lay down DOTs on them. Like several. People just don't understand, even when advice is being given in zone to do this. They just think LA over and over is going to do the trick...then brag in zone they killed somebody. Nope, it was the DOTs that were placed on the player and built up to the point where a person using LA could take them out.0
