    I'm not sure...but i think u are aiming all these posts at the fact that when knocked from a horse, you are basically at the mercy of your attacker.

    Guys who are saying..."then don't ride a horse" or something to that effect....SHAME on you. Don't ride a horse in CYRODIL? c'mon....don't blatantly troll.

    Ok to OP. i and many here have been hit off a horse. SEE if this works for you.
    when you get hit off your horse.
    1: IMMIDIATELY hold your right mouse button down, and SPAM your left mouse button while holding your right button down.

    2: Keep double tapping in a direction.

    3: When you see you have either rolled ONCE or seen your character do that "rawaaarrr" breaking a cc animation. STOP everything your doing(except NEVER let go of that right mouse button) EAT A HP POT.(preferably a hp AND stam recovery pot, panacea of health if i remember correctly)

    4: Find the source of your attacker. COUNTERATTACK .(you better not have let go of that right mouse button)

    This MAY work for you. TRY it. Hope it helps.
    If it doesn't then i would look into why it works for some ppl and not for you.

    Sorcerers are the hands down strongest and most versatile class at the moment. Roll a sorc, and you can play any role very good.
    It's also superior in pvp, especially when used right along with critical surge.

    Sorcerers are getting more buffed in 1.2 patch with summons becoming much more useful.

    This is Elder Sorcerer Online, and the devs let them stay OP while they destroy other classes into the ground.

    ROFL this ^

    So I'm starting to realize that the majority of people that complain about another class really have no idea what they are doing. They think just because they are not winning with their class is because they MUST be playing against a broken class that needs a nerf! It has nothing to do with SKILL and that they just maybe out playing me....OOoh NOo, that is impossible! I'm am the best at this game and no one can beat me! And if they do, their class NEEDS TO BE NERFED!! I am far to lazy to get skill so just hand my win over to me and Nerf everyone but me!

    If I get caught on my horse then I die. Fair enough.

    Dks only like killing in 3 secs not dying in 3 secs. The amount of times i've died in 3 seconds when fighting a sorc and not being on my horse would fill this forum.

    Harden up.

    I'm really considering rolling a sorc, they seem to be the best class to play in PVP, particularly when stealthed. You can kill a V12 DK sword & board heavy armor tank, who is riding their horse ( me) in 3 seconds flat.

    I got knocked off my horse, was flat on the ground, then I got knocked down again. I ALMOST stood up when I was being attacked, but 100% of my health I was pretty much stunned. I know the sorc was stealthed and I was on my horse, which means the sorc had the advantage in this "fight".

    I don't see why anyone in their right mind would roll a stamina build (which I did). Not that it made much difference when I was being attacked, but if I'm doing the attacking it's going to take longer to kill someone than a sorc.

    And people who say sorcerers are being nerfed and are useless and who whine and moan about their precious bolt escape being nerfed. Learn to play.

    As you can see this guy must have proc'd crystal fragments, in the end he got a lucky 5% chance insta kill on me. Unfortunately you can't proc any stamina ability and you can't insta kill with any stamina ability.

    Not to mention that mitigation in PvE and PvP seem to follow different rules. I believe damage mitigation in this game was meant to only come in the form of dodge roll.

    Anyone can kill you in 5 seconds if you get ambushed.
    I'm sorc and never did that though. :<

    3 seconds. ;) You should try it, almost 600 damage with crystal fragments. The best I can hit is 322 with a stamina ability.

    Using a two hander from stealth you can one shot a sorc if you play your cards right, too bad they all run magelight and you never get to play your cards right. A ranged damage that with a cc should never of been allowed to hit that hard when you spam cast it, it should be more of a once off skill to cc the enemy or if they want it to do high dps, get rid of the damn knockdown. If they put a one second stun at the end of strife, everyone would go nightblade. My friend mains sorc and he can 1v1 overland bosses that are 2 vet levels higher just by spamming crystal shards and kiting... stamina builds just really arent in a good place right now and its really upsetting, I changed my nightblade to a nightstick last night because I was sick of it... dps almost doubled.

    No you cant... Uppercuts sneak attack crit damage is nerfed against players. I can hit an NPC for 2.5k with it, but I sneak attack crit a clothie for barely 1k. Ive gotten 1.3k against some noob players, like lvl10 lol. Still not the 2.5k I could do to an NPC.

    The highest I have hit in pvp was 2k with uppercut, thats with over charged weapon damage and reapers mark though, I know armor is more effective in pvp but thats the only damage nerf I could think of.

    The problem with this is that uppercuts non-sneak damage isn't reduced "by armor" nearly as much as its sneak attack is. I still do 500's with the normal hit, but the sneak is more than halved vs a player. You would probably end up doing 4k or something to an NPC with reapers mark.

    Huh? 4k?

    Tip: if you're stam class and you're riding around in the open at least have sword and board up and always..always keep defensive stance up. It lasts 30 seconds and reflects spells back at caster and stuns them for 2 seconds. If you're out running around and like...lalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaa I don't feel sad you died :)

    P.S go roll a sorc if ya like, but something tells me they are next on the "to be gimped" list

    This guy again? Wow.

    He claims it was less than 3 seconds but look and see there are 3 fragments in a row. Even if the first one procced on an earlier cast it would still leave two that would be 3 seconds of induction (little alone attack duration or travel time).

    So again...this guy's 3 second claim is another lie. May I suggest L2p? And stop spamming the forums every time you die. We get it, you're bad at pvp.

    PS the death recap does not equal his hp. So again, we're not seeing the full fight.

    Thats because i made the thread. *facepalm*

    And that's because crystal fragments procced itself. Rofl you need to learn the skills before you start posting.

    If you get caught mounted, any geared-up V12 built for damage will kill you. Class doesn't matter. When you're in a contested area, and you're not in a group, dismount and sneak.

    Alternately, you can whine in the forums, but the dismounting thing actually works.
