Nightblade Returning player looking for insight

3 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I’ve decided to return to ESO and give it another go. I’m about 1400cp, played for like 7 years and just decided to hang it up one day.

Looking for suggestions on a nightblade pvp build, I see a lot of ppl saying it’s weak and the creators I used to watch unfortunately don’t really make much eso content anymore so YouTube hasn’t been much of a help, its kind of like rewatching the same video over and over.

Any tips as far as builds, gear and weapons would
be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Stam DK pvp with 2h Leap, Executioner and Race against time or quick cloak?

Does a build like this exist? The three skills above and of course blood of the green dragon and resolving vigor. Not sure what sets or other skills would be needed to make it work

Discussion DoT Build - PvP Scenario

4 Upvotes

DoT builds that put tremendous pressure seem insignificant these days, as everyone carries their own purifying energy (through sets or skills).

Even in BGs (6v6 or 9v9), I see at least 1 templar purifying the entire group.

Is there any way to immerse DoTs in a good build, or is it only DD to win?

I haven't played since before the Xbox series x and Ps5 came put. I just logged back in and doing hero's return... my skills have been reset my front bar main hand has mother's sorrow light lightning and back bar main hand has maelstroms lightning. I remember using both staffs by switching bars. But I'm so lost as to how to spend my points. Is there a site like maxrolls or mobalytics to help my redo my build? Thx

Help Help with warden tank

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm a returning player that wants to give my group of 4 players some support to clear vet dungeons.

Sadly I'm not owning any dungeon dlcs that released during elsweyr and later and I don't want to run normal trials with random so I've noticed that it's pretty hard to find a heavy armor sets that is better than ebon armor (which is apparently pretty bad).

Do you have any ideas what could work for my build?

I'm torn between kynmarchers cruelty (overland sets can be bought from other players) or gardener of seasons, but they don't look too reliable.

Also does the destruction staff passive that encreases status effects also work when I have my ice skills on the sword/shield bar?

We do have an arcanist dd, a dk dd and a Templer healer in our group and both the templar and dk are pretty new and don't follow any builds.

Discussion Bow/Bow Builds

Hey, since I enjoy playing bow/bow builds in ESO, I wanted to ask: what kind of bow/bow builds do you all play? They don’t have to be meta builds—fun, roleplay-focused, or unique builds are also welcome!

Maormer and what class

6 Upvotes

So I am making a dark elf to be a Maormer Leviathan character based on those in game and wondering what class should I go for this? I already have two sorcerer characters so I was wondering would (ice) Warden work and could it work with dark elf like not run into sustain problems ect. If not, let me know what else you would recommend.

Arcanist or Necro for pvp bash build?

4 Upvotes

All i could find was that arcanist was nerfed but should still be stronger than necro, i never played necro but i played a melee arcanist using mainly soldier of apocrypha and 2h skills so i know the arcanist shield that also heals is really nice and convinient

Help Looking to start Cyro but need help with a build

5 Upvotes

I've been playing for years but I have always avoided cyro outside of whitestakes event and skyward achievement hunting as I generally do not like pvp

However, I have finally decided to bite the bullet and just do it solely to get to max rank to be able to buy the Decoy Elder Scroll furnishing and hopefully get lucky with Volendrung too.

That said, I have absolutely no idea about what sets would be good for a build there.

I am most comfortable with Arcanist and Sorcerer class so I would stick with either of those for this.

So I am wondering if theres any site that does good pvp builds? ( like with pve we have skinnycheeks for dps, healershaven for healing and hyperioxes for tanks )

If theres a meta for certain sets regardless of class, any specific mythic, arena or monster set to farm?

Any help would be appreciated

Sorcerer Need help with a stam sorc build 2H. Pref bow or staff back bar

5 Upvotes

After maining dw for a long time a getting bored I wanted to try 2H and I’ve been having fun but I’ve got no idea where to start for the build. Ideally I’d like to use mostly just weapon skills. Back bar for crit surge, hurricane and Aoe
Mostly solo overworld. I’d like it to be able to solo world bosses
Public and random dungeons are probably the hardest thing I’ll be doing.

I’m not against subclassing.

Need help with a subclass build

0 Upvotes

PvE - base class nightblade. And i want to run the firebeath as the main spammable.

I want to optimize the build as much as possible (considering im loosing out on the pure class passives). What are the best options for gear, what would be good fallback gears, etc. I just wanna breathe fire on my nightblade and make the most of it. I dont mind falling back a bit, if i dont want to run the huntsmanythic with nullarca. Dont want all my builds to run the same. Is soulcleaver even viable for a firebeath build?

Thanks

Hi i play Magcro dps Staff/Staff and thinking of making a Pure DOT build, I have Runecarver body which id like to use now for the FB set should i go with Corpseburster with Lighting or Fire Staff OR Pillar of Nirn however i only have the Lightning staff and Blighted blastbones or the DoT increase morph? Im new to DPS magcro, i have no issues with rotating blastbones as Cro is my PvP main. :)

Need help with a thematic build

3 Upvotes

Stamina Necromancer. Peryite themed. While i want a small RP flavor on the character, i also want to optimize it to its best. since i also have 3 of each class (with the exception of arcanists) i want each of those 3 builds to have their distinct playstyle without being different roles.

In this particular case, a stam necro. and i want to go with a push of plague or poison, at least one set (not corpseburster). i was thinking Maybe noxious boulder? Thurvokun monster set im aware is pretty shite. Velidreth maybe? phylactery? or heck go with plague slinger? one thematic set is good enough. rest can go as hardcore meta as possible. just wanted to ask what are 'good' options that arent the usual null arca/corpseburster setup

Templar Pure class one bar HA Templar for solo PvE, does this look right? (U51)

1 Upvotes

Been putting together a one bar heavy attack Templar for mostly solo stuff (overland, solo dungeons, arenas, IA, and a bit of PvP on the side). Playing as Dark Elf. I pieced it together from Hyperioxes, Hack the Minotaur and Skinnycheeks, but I haven't found anyone who's actually parsed this exact bar, so I don't know how it holds up.

The idea is Oakensoul for the buffs and Empower, lightning staff so the 3 tick heavy attack gets the full value out of Sergeant's Mail, and staying pure class for Class Mastery.

Gear:

- Sergeant's Mail on chest, neck, one ring and the staff (Precise, Shock)

- Noble Duelist's on the other 5 armor slots (Light, Divines)

- Slimecraw head, 1 piece

- Oakensoul as the other ring

Bar is Elemental Blockade, Elemental Susceptibility, Luminous Shards, Channeled Focus and Power of the Light (Radiant Glory when the target's low). Everlasting Sweep as the ult. Basically I just heavy attack and recast stuff as it drops.

Class Mastery is Bright Harbinger + Bastion of Light. CP is Weapons Expert, Deadly Aim, Wrathful Strikes, Fighting Finesse in blue, and Boundless Vitality, Fortified, Rejuvenation, Celerity in red. 64 Magicka, Bewitched Sugar Skulls, armor pots, Thief mundus.

Stuff I'm not sure about:

- I just got Aetheric Lancer after farming IA for it, but the HA Templar builds I found (Hyperioxes and HTM) both run Noble Duelist's or Infallible Mage instead. I only have 2 Aedric Spear skills on the bar, so I'm guessing AL doesn't do much here. Has anyone actually tried it on a HA bar?

- Does Judgment's Brand buff heavy attacks at all? I went Bright Harbinger because I assumed it doesn't.

- I dropped Vampire's Bane for Elemental Blockade to get Off Balance, since Oakensoul already gives Major Savagery. I'm also wondering about Absorb Stamina instead of Shock on the staff, since Susceptibility already gives Concussed. Anyone tested either?

- Is subclassing worth it for solo damage? Hyperioxes' Storm Calling / Assassination / Grave Lord HA solo build parses around 55k with Oakensoul and 51k with Pale Order, but I like how simple the pure class loop is.

Anything that looks obviously off? Any thoughts appreciated.

Sorcerer Returning player - Subclass MagSorc DPS or Pure?

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m returning after a long hiatus and leveling up a new magsorc character.

I’m close to lvl 50 now, so I’m thinking about whether to subclass or stay pure. I like the idea of subclassing (into say, Arcanist) because of the variety of spells, but have also heard the new pure classing system can be worth it.

I only do PvE and play solo at the moment.

Thanks!

Discussion PvP: Open world vs no-cp

5 Upvotes

What are some things you consider when building for BGs vs building for GH? I play a lot of BGs when I do PvP, and have really good luck on my builds (have every class besides Cro) once I spend a few days knocking the rust off. But bringing those same builds to GH even with the protective CPs I get absolutely dusted. I can kill a squish yes and pick off the odd exe, but if I toe up with someone with even one thumb my build usually falls apart, or I built too tanky and can’t kill.

Looking for some pointers to find that middle ground because I would really like to get more into Cyro.

Sorcerer How can i upgrade my build / PvP Sorc Build?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

been using this StamSorc build for a while, had some good experiences with it in BGs.

https://youtu.be/ODPAtReNsWo?is=U4u_FKdA7-6zQo--

Since U51 and the changes to Ele Sus aswell as crystal weapons it feels quite lackluster and pretty shitty to sustain.

Any advice on what i should change with the changes that came with U51?

Or what kind of Sorcs are you running? Feel like everyones saying Sorcs busted in BGs but im still getting rolled by WWs and DKs.
