    All I see in PvP is VR10 Sorcs, running heavy armor, with what seems to be unlimited magicka + 3000 and higher health spamming bat ult.

    Since sorcs can lower the cost anyways, this patch doesn't really seem to affect them.

    Oh I wonder how exactly they use dual wield to do damage as DK. Most probably 90% of the damage comes from DK skills.
    Well, I have seen quite a few Dual Wield DK's, and it seems about half the damage is DK abilities and half DW. Mind you this is from the perspective of someone fighting beside them, might be missing something.

    If you have a healer with you, or a reliable sustainable source of healing, anyone can have unlimited magicka. It's the mages guild skill called equilibrium, which uses hp to gain magicka.

    Also, yes, you can get your hp very high with the proper food buff + emperor passives.

    And I did not ask to nerf anybody, I know its never a way out to nerf.

    But I expect dual wield to be more competitive.

    You started a thread calling out sorcerer as "the ultimate assassin". Just lashing out at random? There's nothing wrong with dual wield. Do us all a favour and stop writing in the forum.

    Umm... stop playing this game like it's WoW, because it's not.

    The reason you suck at PvP is because you think that a NB must use medium armour and dualwield.

    Alternatively play this game as the game it is meaning every class has to wield a staff and wear light armor. See what I did there? I took your WoW argument and altered it so it fits the current state of the game which in turn leads to the fact that it is kind of like WoW only less diversive.

    so the NBs all over the web hitting for over 3500-6300 damage is just my imagination?

    i'm not sure how a sorc is going to blink away when he is one shot(or nearly so) from stealth

    It seems a lot of people are coping now with the fact that they aren't as good or well versed on this game as they would have hoped.

    A learning curve?! BLASPHEMY! GIVE ME KILLS AND LOOT

    I think things are very wrong with dual wield.

    And no thank you, I will not make you a favor.

    I don't know what kind of armor you got, but nobody ever hit me 3500 or 6000.

    So begineth the screams for nerfs... The rang out and echoed all across Tamriel...

    It's always the same, in every game... The second they adjust one line, people start looking for the next FOTM class for pwnage... Not knowing that just "that" fact will get the new flavor of the month class a spanking from the legendary Tabfern
    The statement "if you put enough monkeys behind enough typewriters... sooner or later one will produce the works of Shakespeare" has sadly been proven utterly wrong by the internet...

    Oh em Gee!! o.O

    I would pay sooooo much for a decent MMO completely without pvp of any kind :D

    These silly nerfcries that never ever,ever stop are getting on my last nerve.

    It's an effing game,not life or death. Get over it,learn to play,whatever....but enough with the whining,for Bob's sake

    I was hoping you'd consider not just me, but the population of this game as a whole. You and me don't know each other, but annoying an entire game's population with nonsense is surely a thing to avoid.

    As for dual wield, this skill set is fine, might be a few bugs trapped in there same as for all the skill lines in game (new game, tons of bugs), but looking to weapon skills as being your primary sources of damage don't work for any of the weapons if that's what you imagine the issue to be.

    Dual Wield is amazing.

    Mage Light isn't a class skill.

    Trying using Medium Armor, a Bow, the Steed stone, Retreating Maneuvers, Dark Cloak, or any combination thereof.

    You're welcome.

    I agree. I used dual-wield exclusively. The survivability + damage output is great.
