What is the most difficult/annoying class to fight in Cyrodiil? (Blackwood Meta Edition)

    I don't really know if I want to see nerfs... but it's definitely Warden.
    Followed by:
    -Necro (mag or stam)
    -Magsorc/Stamblade

    But almost every class can be a challenge.

    Magplar is under rated. Cleanse + block healing is annoying. And you know you're getting CC'd every 6 seconds.

    Mag DK. Uggggghhh... Talons, Fossilize, Leap... welcome to being locked down until you have no resources.

    Magblade. (Sigh) never get tired of getting bombed. My bomber reflexes have slowed over the no proc time. Half my deaths easily.

    Stam DK/ Stamplar....
    (Looks around confused)
    Never seen these two... did I miss a dlc or something?! I got to buy these?!! They get deleted from the game?!!!

    Definitely doesn't feel true whatsoever from magden to magsorc. Stamsorc to stamden though, i can see.

    I know a lot of people who do not even play pvp until zos fixes the block bug, set bonus not working bug and the range skill bug.... with all those bugs around currently, it is "safe" choice to play NB, and that explains the current NB numbers. Stamblade is strong in this update anyways with burst damage being so high.

    When things get back to "normal" tho, Stamcros will be the most annoying thing to fight in the hands of a decent player. Explaining the reasoning would take time, i'll just leave it at that.

    Werewolves not on the list - easily the dumbest thing I encounter. I wish zos would nerf the survivability (by a lot) and buff the killing power a little.

    I mean you can build we to do stupid amounts of dmg and be a glass cannon too, berserker morph, major berserk on heal etc.
    It's just most ppl go pack leader and defensive morphs for pvp.

    I have played a bit in Cyrodiil and bgs after the patch and nightblades are everywhere.

    One is not too bad to fight but they seem to move around in packs so if you're fighting one of them, another will soon pop up behind your back and stab you. If you manage to survive 2 of them a 3rd is already there for another gank.

    Also when you have a decent 1v1 fight and a nightblade pops up behind you at just the right moment.

    Other than that, warden and necros remains the strongest pvp classes. But I find them less annoying than nightblades.

    Lol that sums up zos in a nutshell. warden is the new girl in town but zos has had a close relationship with sorc from day one.

    @L_Nici Lmao! I'm actually maining Stamsorc this campaign.
    I switched because of my frustrations with Stam DK.
    I consider Stamsorc to be a great mid tier toon.
    It's not Warden...
    It's not Stam DK...
    It's got options, but not over powered or over played.

    Nightblades are by far the worst this patch. Invisibility is the biggest crutch in the game in the first place and now they can one/two shot your back instantly and CONSTANTLY.

    [snip]

    Really sad we go from the most possible pvp skilled battles with no procs...to the exact opposite.

    I play all classes. My absolute favorite right now is magsorc, magblade, and stamden.

    This patch, the top carry classes that requires Zero skill is Crystalnoobweapon Stamsorc and Dot DK’s. I’m not bashing here, I’m just saying that these two classes will carry you if you suck in pvp lol.

    Crystal weapon? Now that procs are back, you can pair this with Vateshran 2h, Selene, or whatever direct proc set. And it will absolutely 1 shot people. If it doesn’t work, streak away, jump like a bunny and wait for your dawnbreaker again.

    Dot DK’s are back again now that you’re able to use master dual wield. Axes got a buff. Bleed now applies minor mangling (reduces opponents hp by 10%). Rending slash+venom claw+noxious breath, move on to your next target. Don’t worry about the first guy, he can’t even heal up lol, he’s dying to the dots. Dot DK can’t run around rocks and towers like a stamblade/stamsorc/magsorc, but you will at least kill 1 person in the group the zergs you. So if you get zerged, you’ll at least feel good that you were able to take down 1 of them.

    Leave the magblade bombers alone. We need more Zerg busting tools.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I'm running into people on classes that have not bursted me this quick before, and its not even skills in my recap. I'm regularly getting hit by minimum 7k vateshrans AFTER the nerf to procs, i'm still baffled how this made it past ZOS.

    Yes, that is a part of it.. mitigating damage while doing Dawnbreaker tool tip burst in a easy autoaim way that is smooth to line up with actual Dawnbreaker. On a spec with awesome mitigations from class tool kit and in 5 medium on meta setup you are tanky but deal good burst also, with nice heals also on top of it all. Not much weaknesses to talk about.

    I'd say Warden, Necro, and Sorc are the most annoying. Coincidentally they also seem to be ZOS's faves.

    i agree with you on necro but would not dismiss warden so easilly, leeching vines got a massive proxy buff thanks to the lifesteal rework.

    Wardens. Their healing is uber.

    Luckily these latest patches everyone feels a bit squishier so they are killable. Problem is when you have them in pairs or smallgroups. xD

    NB Bombers just ruin the game, even more OP with lag. There should be a better counter to stealth than what there is right now. I can not tell you how many times I will run Radiant mage light waiting for the bomber to do his thing and try to stop it... radiant mage light didn't work?? most likely the Bomber gets to benefit from the massive lag and kills everyone instantly before radiant mage light does anything.

    Nightblade main voted for nightblade (I also play magDK, stamDK and soon magnecro)

    I would say warden comes in second with Necro in close third, they bassically share the same spot due to how obnoxiously tanky they can be. When there is a necro/warden with gaurd as well... urgh
    Ah, e-communities - the "pinnacle" of the internet............yeah, right.
