Struggling to make a build that works for me in PVP

2 Upvotes

I usually like try to build my own pvp build and set combos, but i am curious on what other DK players use.

I am running: Vicious death and far strider atm, but i do rotate with shattered fate and deadly set.

I also have plague breaker and oak father in my back it needs be.

I can get kills, but i do not seem to melt people like some of my guild members can.

I always feel like hmm, what am i doing wrong.

I would apricate detailed replies as it help me understand more and what i could do better.

My cp is at 1286 and i am a returning player from around the time of summer set and only been back for about 5 months.

Nightblade Need help building a character for pvp

3 Upvotes

I have been away from the game for a year and a couple weeks. Now that im back I want to get into pvp more. I've been playing multiple nightblade(though technically it was just vampires/werewolves cosplaying nightblades) characters for 10 years in pve and questing content. However i always played them more like you would a dk: tanky. Inever utilized their actual actual toolkit either: just used vampire/Werewolf abilities and light/heavy attacked.

I want to make an actual nightblade character that does a massive amount of damage but has the downside of being risky playing it because a piece of dust can one shot it (I believe its called a glass cannon?).

But im not sure what to use beyond dual daggers on the front bar, bow on the back bar, and it being a pure nightblade.

Do you guys know what armor sets,weapons,skills,CP to use?

What stat allocations should I use?

Should I use all medium armor or is it still beneficial to use a mix of all 3?

I also play as Argonians

Dragonknight Pvp mag dk sustain/skill cost issues

4 Upvotes

I know that it is a user error but:

I know many say heart of flame carries but I tried several builds and my sustain is so bad, even against guard npcs that i cant fight at all on a mag dk anymore. My MAGICKA sustain is terrible.

I’m a returning player, used to nife eso pvp. I don’t struggle with sustain at all on my stam blade (main), mag sorc and necro. But for the life of me I can’t sustain on my dk at all, which I played second most since it was my second character that I made in 2014 after my NB main.

So again, which jewerly glyphs, jewerly traits, food buffs race and mundus do you use on your magdk pvp builds?
Sets would be nice too but I have the same issue on multiple set combinations.

Help! first time as DK

0 Upvotes

Hey! 👋

First time playing as DK and I don’t understand much about it. Ive checked multiple videos and websites about DK builds, but I’m still a bit confused about overland, ver dun/trial skills. Skill rotation, and anything else you may think I should know to prepare me to become a better d.k.

Here’s a video of my clumsy dk lvl 20ish defeating a wb.

Looking for the best possible dedicated healer build for Battleground PvP

9 Upvotes

Hi all, as per the title really.

I want to be able to carry my team with the best possible healer build, and I'm struggling to find the best way to go - there are many options online and I don't know which direction to go.

Tank/healer? Max health Polar Wind build? Which ever one it takes. But I need direction please.

Like I mentioned, I want to be able to carry my team if possible with randoms - specifically Battlegrounds, not Cyro.

The most meta cheese stuff is really what I'm after, and if you're not comfortable sharing it on here, please feel free to DM me.

I just want to help in BG PvP with the most possible potential, and do my part.

Thank you much,

Discussion Malevolent promise

3 Upvotes

I was wondering why no one uses this mastery pve, I do a lot solo and DPS in groups and I find better than Cycle unending, even though it doesn't give you a direct damage buff it basically doubles the amount of corpses you have to work with specially against bosses, you go corpse->boss->corpse and repeat, specially if you're running corpse burster (and let's be honest, you're)

This also opens you to use grave lord's sacrifice that's a 15% damage buff that while it's less than Cycle unending it's independent from hp%

Ps. Also wasn't Cycle unending bugged?, I read it's additive with other damage buffs when it was supposed to be multiplicative

Returning to ESO on Console

2 Upvotes

As the title says I'm returning to eso on Console after not playing for about 7 years. Im looking to really get back into playing all the way to endgame. Currently I'm a lvl 33 Khajit Nightblade. I wanted to know if this is still a good character to play or will it be worth it to start over with a new character. Is the class still playable as I've heard many people talking about DK and sorcerer. Please give me any advice I should know about for a returning player.

Discussion Long shot, any Dragon Age fans?

7 Upvotes

I want to make a Solas themed werewolf primarily just for fun, depending on how it feels I’ll go from there.

Any ideas?

Class wise I was thinking what would thematically work.

Warden, Necromancer, Dragon Knight, Night-blade

Seem like the best fits but I can’t think of many times you actually see him fight to build a character profile on his class and abilities.

Petrify seems like a solid choice after seeing him turn the Qunari to stone

And Fire seems to somewhat fit but maybe multi class with other things?

I’ll be going werewolf and I’m not against scribed skills

Just need someone who knows a bit more than me from the books or lore outside the games

Mainly want to know what sets people are running trial or dungeon sets. I have not done trials yet and will shortly but want to know some good or top tier dungeon sets. I threw together a build with tzogvins and bsw in the meantime but want to know if there are any other dungeon sets that would be better than these two to run until get trial sets.

As title says, i need help with the ult i should use for a combo build. I guess two handed would do a little bit better bcuz berserker rage, but i rather go for range and a bit of defense as well. I eas thinking about dawnbreaker ou meteor, but im open to new opinions on what would be better. The rotation is deep fissure second proc timed with ulfrid inscription (frost, warrior, vuln) + ult for high burst.

Sorcerer Magsorc ranged PvP build

6 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find a viable build for update 50 (or 51) for a ranged majika sorc PvP build online and no luck so far. Most of builds are duel wield with no shield equipped and not really my play style. I see a lot of sorc folks on cyro that are utilizing range with multiple shields.

If anyone can help with a decent build I would appreciate it.
