The reason for this is because certain abilities such as subterranean assault or deep fissure are easily avoided in a 1 v1 by competitive players. However it is not that great for dueling, now don’t get me wrong you can definitely win 1 v 1 fights with it, but if you going to do endgame duels like in a duel guild it will be hard. The Warden is a class that is very versatile, it can be great for support, crowd control and AOE damage. Overal they do great in duels and small scale PvP, however they don’t have that many AOES that will be great in terms of nuking, something like take flight is great for big group PvP fights as it will knock down the enemy but overal you just need 1 or 2 dragonknights for this, they don’t have a good AOE spammable like other classes, and neither can they be great in supporting.
They might lack mobility, but they make up for it with their resistances, and their burst potential! While it sometimes might be a bit more tricky to pull the burst off with a Dragonknight, once you know how to play them they can be absolutely brutal, many CCS and Damage over time effects will lay to any enemy. Nightblades were absolutely king in dueling until the Elsweyr patch, which saw some nerfs to some of their abilities such as surprise attack and incap, however they still dominate in duels and small scale PvP, while they aren’t that great for big group fights in regards of AOE bombing, they have fast movability, high burst damage/potential and sustain!ĭragonknights are a blast to play! They overal have high physical and spell resistances, and will not be nuked down easily. They do very well in almost all situations, and while they can do support their allies (if they use something like a restoration staff for healing ward) they aren’t as good as some other classes out there in terms of healing or supporting as they don’t have a ”class purge” like the templar does. They use powerful shields to gain defensive boosts, and can be both stamina and magicka, thanks to their shields they can be very tough opponents in a 1v1, on top of that abilities such as dark exchange allow them to have a lot of sustain. Sorcerers are absolutely great to play! They are very versatile and have some great movability! Group PvP Support 10+ Players ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Magicka templar for Support) However they do make some of the best support classes out there, especially in group pvp! They aren’t the best for 1 v1 dueling, can definitely hold their ground and kick ass, there are just some classes out there that do it better. It is also one of the few classes that has its own ”purify” an ability such as extended ritual can remove up to 5 harmful effects (think Bleed damage, Damage over Time, health debufs etc)
The templar is one of my favourite classes, it has some great damage attacks, such as biting jabs and in general I really like the play style. Keep in mind: In ESO you can play and do whatever you want, however if you want to be the best of the best/most competitive, then it is worth running a certain class/setup for a certain situation.ġ ⭐ means: Really don’t recommend using the class for this, it will be performing extremely badĢ ⭐⭐: Not a good choice, while it will not extremely terrible its not recommended.ģ ⭐⭐⭐ It Does okey, but there are better options out thereĤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid choice, only some classes might be slightly better/have an edge over itĥ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Competiting on the top level/perfect for these PvP situations We are using a system with starts, 1 ⭐ is the minimum and 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ is the max. Small Scale 2 to 8 man groups (also Battlegrounds).Dueling (think 1 v 1 fights/situations).So there is a lot of different PvP content, on top of that, what do you want to do? Support the group? Do AoE damage? Have high single target damage?įor this we will be covering every class in these situations and how they perform: Open World Cyrodil, and then, you going to Solo Cyrodiil? Going to do smallscale, like 4 man groups? Or run whole groups of 24 people?.However, there isn’t a ”Best class” why not? Cause there is so much to do, you can do: In this guide we talk about ”the best class for PvP in The Elder Scrolls Online” Necromancer: 22:46 Builds: Necromancer Builds Nightblade 10:28 Builds: Nightblade Buildsĭragonknight 14:01 Builds: Dragonknight Builds
