XB Cryodiil Report

After a solid day of usage, here's what we're seeing.

1) Magsorcs and Magplars are wrecking people. There are small roving groups of 4-5 a piece that are murdering 12 man mixed groups. I'm not talking a bunch of nobodies. Organized guild groups of people playing their chosen classes are getting wiped. It takes a strong overwhelming force to kill them. Then they just spawn and come back before you can even flag a keep.

2) Baby buff is outrageous. If you're CP, screw playing your usual characters. Make a new one, roll into CP Cryo at level 15, and melt people.

3) Siege is even less effective against mag players.

4) Tanks still exist and they can still murder you. I know a lot of people were hopefully the tank meta would take a backseat but it hasn't. Fortified Brass + One damage is over performing.


Feel free to share your own observations.

    I knew attacking sieges would require overwhelming force and high damage meta favors defenders. It requires more bodies to take a defended keep. Having said that fights are moving more outside keeps again. A fight moved from breakers to chalman to bleakers back to chalman with out ever flagging either one. It required a large zerg to eventually form to take it.

    Is that bad?

    It's actually no XB thing, it happens on all platforms.

    Without procsets, you suddenly see huge differences of quality even amongst guild groups who should be rather similar.
    Too bad it's over in 2 months.

    I have not seen a single magplar on PC that I've said "that guy was tough.". It's always seemed to be a thing on console though. PC, it's mostly magsorc and stamden.

    Magplars are not yet common on PC, but they increase in numbers. As soon as people noticed how powerful they are, they will be used to especially counter Stamblades. It will end with Magsorc, Magplar and Stamblade being the most common classes.
