Help Help a fellow Cro PvP enthusiast out.

7 Upvotes

I play mostly 4v4 battlegrounds trying to climb the veterancy and I’m trying to make a build for each class. I am currently stuck on necromancer, I’ve tried a 2h brawler set up with nobility in decay back bar and it felt like it just did no damage with ruinous scythe as the spammable and dswing in battlegrounds is just tough… I also briefly tried a corpseburster front bar nobility in decay back bar build I really didn’t like. I’m thinking about trying a healer, but I’d really rather not since I’ll probably do that for arc or Templar.

Help me out by dropping your builds and/or sharing your experiences and approaches to stuff I’ve tried. Necro is my go to PVE tank and dps and I’d love to play it and enjoy it in PvP.

Hunting Party!

I think we are ready to kill some Werewolves with some anit-WW builds. I was thinking slowing them down and putting a bunch of DOTs on them while emphasizing passive heals might be a good counter. What are you all considering?

Is Beacon of Oblivion really that bad?

At a 15% flat damage increase with no pets, why wouldn't I want to match this with say Ansuul and the Shattered Paths Signet? It's mobile too (unlike Monolith of Storms).

Help Is it possible to do a support tank build?

3 Upvotes

Heyo, I am recently considering returning to ESO after a 4 year hiatus and am wondering if a certain play pattern is possible in PVP?
I have played quite a lot of PVP in Warhammer Online and there the tanks have plenty of utility such as guarding others or just plain debuffs / CC.
I am wondering if it's possible to have a really tanky build which can stand their own (not dpsing wise) and help their team through auras/guards/CC.
I did some arenas on my magicka templar and whilst I managed to kill people it really felt like oneshot or be oneshotted which is the opposite of what I'd like my experience to be.

Saw that a lot of changes have been made so am quite curious as to how the meta has been shaken up in PVP?

Also, is the raiding good at the moment? I got my highest achievement in WoW (hof) and got burned out immediately after and have been looking for a more casual experience since then

Thanks for taking the time to read this post!

Dragonknight New player seeking guidance on my Dragonknight

2 Upvotes

I'm level 16, and started off using two-handed weapons, but switched to shields. I play solo to explore on my own, and I usually don't use shields in games, but I like it so far. I have been doing okay so far, but I know early game is a cake-walk.

One thing I'm experiencing is not being able to decide on what skills to use. I know I have to build towards self-sufficiency, since I'm solo, so I had most of my skill points in Earthen Heart and Ardent Flame and a few points in Draconic Power, and no points in one-handed/shield weapon skills. That worked for a while, but I barely made survived a fight where I was out-numbered because of the high Magicka cost of casting Molten Armaments, while keeping Volcanic Ward up and also using attacks that are Magicka dependent (Volcanic Whip and Dark Talons).

I decided to respec my skills again and got rid of Dark Talons, and the rest of the skills in Draconic power. I kept Molten Whip because I like it, and I put points into Low Slash for my one-handed weapon skill. I am thinking about maybe adding Core of Flame because I think it aligns with the survivability aspect of solo play, but I see that the Magicka cost to run Ward, Moltne Armaments and CoF is too high to be efficient. I don't want to dump all points into Magicka (currently 13 points in Magicka, 1 poin in Health and 6 in Stamina). My armor is also a mix of Heavy and Medium, and I finally managed to find pieces of armor that were better than the 3 pieces of Sithis set I got at level 12. I'm not sure where I need to go to farm for full sets, or even if it's worth the effort this early into the game.

I'm looking for some sort of guidance so I can put together a cohesive build for my character.

Bow problem pvp

3 Upvotes

Hello there

Im currently playing orders wrath and rallying cry with my bowsorc and bowblade.

Both are different playstyles but im feeling lack of damage. Should I change rallying cry for something more offensive? My goal is Just to be a real archer at distance.

Also some tips about how to play it well. I will prefer nigthblade but it seems kinda underperforming

Infinite Archive Status Effect Build

3 Upvotes

I saw this video featuring a IA build that seemed focused on status effect damage for later arcs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhlcPOyJijE

Since spattering disjunction set boost status effect damage, could I replace heartland conquerer with it? (and maybe change skills?)

(also maybe shattered path signet?)

Discussion Returning Nightblade enjoyer needs newbie advices!

2 Upvotes

Hi there!

Been playing FFXIV for a long time now (from Daily roulettes to raids, savage content and everything). I know about the layoffs and the discussion surrounding them – I do, but I would prefer not to make this post about that. I simply need a new environment and something laid-back to enjoy besides harder stuff.

I decided to roll a Khajiit Nightblade and have been enjoying myself exploring and sniffing every barrel along the way. I must say that I’m not chasing the meta or anything of that sort right now. I’m looking for something cozy – stealth, exploration and some solo content would do for me.

Some questions to the experts:

Inventory management without Eso+? I am a loot goblin and I don't want to find myself micromanaging my inventory and bank most of the time.

Stealth gameplay tips: any obvious newbie traps or detection mechanics I might stumble into?

Nice and easy builds: no super High APM and top damage requirements here, just something enjoyable and thematically appropriate.

Anything that I should prioritize early on skill line-wise? Just any general advice on settling in?

Thanks for reading this, I truly need a breath of fresh air.

Sorcerer Cyrodiil builds? For new pvp-er

3 Upvotes

Ive been back in this game a couple months and loving the content for pve but I want to make a toon for pvp/cyrodiil.

I've done a bit of pvp on DK but it was only a BG. I'm seeing loads of builds on YouTube with no written guide? Anyone got any recommendations for a sorc magika build?

Ideally looking for guide so I can follow it step by step until im fully in the pvp side of it if possible.

Help Advice on race/class combos and viability in PvE and PvP

7 Upvotes

Hi, I recently started playing ESO and went down the rabbit hole that are builds in this game. I know that the difference between meta and non-meta build effectiveness is just a few percent, but I've been trying out races and classes just to see what they're about and I can sometimes feel the difference even as a beginner.

I would like to main 2 characters (ESO seems very time consuming and 2 maxed out characters will take me a while). One magicka and one stamina based. Both should be usable in both PvE and PvP. Preferably meta or close to meta, I want to be relevant. I have to admit my favorite faction is definitely Covenant and I like Men more than Mer.

Could you please not only recommend some combinations, but also share your reasoning behind the choices?

Thanks
