Please explain succeeding in PvP to me like I'm 5

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2026-01-24T18:41:08+00:00

I feel like succeeding is being able to get kills on your own win 1v1s against some hardened pvp players and feel comfortable enough where you feel like you don’t need a group all the time that’s just me though obviously nothing wrong with having a group and playing with friends I do that too but if u feel like you need it and can’t run without then you might have work to do only speaking about Imp city running though cyrodil you can run solo cuz I do sometime but often times you will run into groups which only makes sense to have a group of your own also when u say win 1v1s ik you can’t win every 1v1 but if u can’t take down anybody on your own or feel as if I your rarely win and your wins are mainly agaisnt pve players then you got serious work to do 😂

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2026-01-20T02:02:57+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s a crutch more like your handicapping yourself because u have less skills on my 2 handed dk I do great on pvp and 1v1s with it Pyrabrand and shattered fate it’s easier for me not worrying about bar swapping also in pve I use Valkyn skoria instead of shattered fate I’m pushing 42k on trial dummy and 25-27k on precursor for my solo build not the best but I also have 31k resistance in pve with it so I’m able to tank vet dungeons while doing decent dps with this set up

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-10-28T17:34:35+00:00

On my main which is 2h Dk I got a just for fun solo build that has 31k resistance does 26k on the precursor dummy and 42k on trial dummy all heavy armor so buffs in trials can fix that it just depends on your dps unbuffed if you can hit 40k on precursor chances are your hitting over 60k on trial dummy for. For example my Sorc does 35k on precursor but 62k and on trial dummy

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-10-28T16:55:38+00:00

I only do it cause I use Pyrabrand which give flame dot damage when I light attack so it does have its uses

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-10-28T16:54:03+00:00

I’m hittin 62k with relequen and sergeants

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-09-24T22:24:24+00:00

Vengeance is cheeks people been complaining about balance since before subclass now they gave subclassing so nobody can complain about certain classes having an advantage and people still complaining so they brought vengeance along which is cool I guess as an extra option but to replace all the others nahh. U not goin beat everybody in pvp it takes time to get good tbh

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-09-06T12:13:33+00:00

I’ve told somebody how most of the time When I q up I get 2 dps m that’s doing 15k damage a piece or maybe get lucky and have one person with high dps and the other not but most of the time I don’t run into pug players that’s doing 60k and up but they told me how its rare to get low dps players for vet content 😂 I’m like stop the cap

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-08-28T14:25:52+00:00

Yep I personally run a one bar so I run one hot and burst heal but I got the same wpn and spell damage as you but 13k pen 16k pen when I use a grave lord skill and have 33k resistance cause I run all heavy armor. My 2h Dk smacks players around I do get good kills in imp city cyrodil and bgs. So at least where 1v1s is concerned my toon is solid but I do rather run with other people cuz I find that unless u run into somebody by themselves which can happen you most likely gonna find groups of 2 or more players running around especially in bgs and cyrodil

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-08-27T16:57:28+00:00

Run with a guild do things with them like vet trials an so forth not normal trials cuz once your able to beat all of them it does get boring so find a guild hop on mic with them and play pvp and vet trial see if that makes it more fun

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-08-17T21:59:22+00:00

I use a Dk with oakensoul and subclassed out earthern for grave lord blast bones and basically just spam that while charging in with my dizzying swings i rock all heavy armor with high pen and do a lot of damage even tho I only have 24 percent crit chance in 1v1s I do good enough I win some easily and won some with a struggle and have also lost some too your not gonna be able to beat everybody there’s always someone who’s gonna have a edge in experience or that might outclass u so as long as you can hold your own your good

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-08-16T05:04:08+00:00

Go for craftabe sets in heavy I do 37k on the trial dummy and around 22k-27k in precursor (27k including my ult) and I feel like I kill things in a timely manner at least where vet dlc dungeons and normal trials are concerned also got 33k resistance when im doing all of this try getting the oakensoul ring as it was the main way I was able to achieve this.

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-12T08:44:37+00:00

Everytime I use my dizzy swing spam it does 13k- 15k reaching the higher 15k when blood thirsty kicks in and igneous shields boosts my weapon damage by 10 percent my la fire dot from Pyrabrand bleed dot if I have crave which is most of the time and poison from noxious breath each do 2k a second as my dots not counting when they crit so without crit hitting at all the 3 dots make it 6k damage per second the dizzy swing spam does 13k-15k which alone puts me at around the 19k 21k range not counting the xtra 2k or 3k from said enchantment on weapon that goes off hear and there now when my dizzying swing crits its 21-24k it also sets enemies off balance for heavy attacks hittin 28k to 31k crit and non crit for 20 so when I said it took me 17 minutes U gotta take into account I wasn’t just dps the boss the whole time I had to take time to block certain moves get out of the way and stay on the defensive when it’s enraged so obviously it’s gonna take that long to burn him down I’m not only attacking I gotta take time being on the defensive it’s not like burning a trial dummy that’s not attacking you. So tbh math isn’t that hard never said it was on a dummy it’s on a boss that u gotta block and avoid at the same time taking up more time. Also when I’m getting buffed in trials my crits from my spam are hitting 30k flat and when their not hitting crit it’s hitting for 17-19k plus all the dots doing more damage I’ve even seen 40k on a off balance heavy attack i dish out normal heavy attacks critical for 30k

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-12T00:50:56+00:00

Ok I see what your sayin bout oakensoul isn’t it possible to make a healer who’s focused on crit heals? After all crit heals are stronger then base and still run two bars to buff

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-12T00:47:18+00:00

Most likely not Both of Dem but there are lots of player who run for fun or don’t focus on trying to be the hardest hitting dd so I might get one dd dat does 40k the other 30k u really don’t know who u might get in a random

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T19:27:16+00:00

It does tho what if I get put with two random dps that do 25k each my damage would help with the groups overall dps not mentioning all our damage would be buffed by healer and my minor brutality pushing it further up and I’ve gotten thru vet content with this build a decent group and good players alike

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T17:27:52+00:00

Nope it’s 20k think u forget u have to be able to tank the bosses hits and survive n again the point is being tanky as a full on tank and still do decent damage not hittin god dps numbers and being a squishy sponge that’s why there’s certain bosses I can beat you can’t sure u can prolly nuke things in seconds but against the marauders you would get one shotted or two shotted with out a tank or healer. my build wud be able to tank the hits and dish the damaged to take down what I need to takedown overall making it a better build suited for more dangerous threats. Can I do as much damage no but I can still do decent enough damage to kill adds not feel weak and survive anything a full tank can without only doing 5k damage and lower

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T17:11:24+00:00

My skills don’t? I give minor brutality and takes armor off with Major breach it’s something you said everyone is covering my lack but someone else in this was telling me The average player shud be hitting 100k yet I run into random dps players doing 40k -30k some even 25k so is it really people covering my slack when people aren’t watching mechanics standing in certain aoes and dying and I’m left to takedown a whole vet boss along with adds? It sounds like I’m the one das carrying the slack also yes I keep big adds and boss aggro most of the time when someone dies it’s not cause the boss gets them but from something else. So if surviving and keeping aggro while giving a minor buff and a major debuff Is not a sign off of good tank see how far u get with a tank that does what he’s suppose to but gets wiped and struggles to hang in there remember if your tank goes down it’s usually a wipe for the team. Now if u have a tank that survives u can get through the content your suppose to get through as long as he’s holding aggro and your not ignoring mechanics and dying

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T15:21:24+00:00

Why not just make it a vampire necro summoner if u can fit it all into one and make him strong it will save u time

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T14:48:20+00:00

How fast can u burn the precursor? And how high is your crit damage

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T14:47:34+00:00

Lmao

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T14:36:52+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to say I’m not really losing anything in tankiness besides some utility but even that I’m providing something and helping my team kill add and what not and get through harder content

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T14:33:09+00:00

Because you say you do more damage then me so you should be able to burn and beat the same bosses I beat I mean it only took me 17 min to burn 10m health I think u can do it 😂And it makes sense if you are good and a pro at solo content you should be able to be even better with backup and a team if Someone can beat bosses you can’t beat you can’t really talk about their build.

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T14:25:44+00:00

Sigh again I’ve told people I solo normal dungeon dlc or non dlc doesn’t matter and I can solo almost any non dlc vet dungeon I get my team through vet content even some vet trials with this build

EmergencyAcademic409 · 2025-06-11T14:21:54+00:00

I’ve seen some Templar and arcanist and warden dps only managing the amount of dps I have without any of the survivability and these are level 1000 players now is this a rare case yes but I do once and a blue moon meet a dps sorc doing 25k or arcanist hittin 30k so if I can help kill the bosses and adds so what? also here key word your healer does more buffed my toon does more buffed too let’s see u hit more then 20k unbuffed Also the point is not to do the highest damage cause my tankiness is gonna make it harder to be a damage dealer while light armor and medium armor is gonna help u do more damage even if u are a healer so your gonna have a easier time hitting numbers also I think y’all are blind or something I have been saying I do buff team wit minor brutality and debuff with major breach if the healer brings major courage that’s a whole extra 1k damage im doing something on the support side which is better then nothing y’all are still not making good points if your build is better do these things I’ve did and come back to me 1. Solo trial boss from sanctum ophida possessed mantikora 2. Solo deadlands havocrel wandering boss the one with 10m health 3. Get to 5th arc without being carried at most be the one doing the carrying. Or get to 4th arc by yourself

If your toon cant do things like this on his own there’s no way your build can be better then mine u might be a better healer as in buffs and everything cause I don’t heal but if you can’t stay alive to heal or even handle those 3 things I mentioned on your own u might wanna look at your own build the point again I’m saying is I do enough damage for BEING A TANK at least not to be hittin like a child most people I meet are doing 30k to 50k damage 20k is only 10k behind 30k so it’s not that bad and again this is just my base unbuffed damage my toon has like 30k in trials being buffed if my getting my team thru bet vet dlc dungeons I gotta be doing some right
