@MalcolM. no thank you. Videos like this give courage to the PvE crowd to try pvp. I've been playing MMOs for 22 years now, & the most common explanation I hear from folks is that they're just scared to try pvp because they're scared to be ostracized. ... wait, maybe a good video idea? Idk. I'm not a creator lol. /endrambling
Step 1: Have 30k health Step 2: Sacrifice all forms of damage for survivability. Step 3: All duels are a battle of attrition. Sustain is all that matters. Step 4: Just play DK. Profit: Congratulations, you’re half the population now who’s actually competing!
i been trying out your sorc max magic build and right away i saw great improvement your really good in finding the builds best for the patches i would encourage others to check his builds out if you are having any issue in pvp and not sure what sets to run i get overwhelmed by how many sets there are a lot and cant seem to crack down on what's good if you have that issue he got you covered thanks again for the great build my dude keep up the good work
Vampire - I think it is good to mention that vampirism is a key in PvP in 2023 currently as it gives a huge damage mitigation. You learn that when you wonder why the other player just won't die and then you try vampire yourself.
At first I didn't believe that it would make such a difference. I find it surprising that the fighter skills don't hurt much more to make them a must in PvP.
First, it's really good that someone actually makes vid for new players on ESO pvp. Overland/basegame is so easy that it teaches absolutely nothing about skills, burst, etc to new players. But... I would never recommend pvp endgame to anyone on lvl 10-50 (or under decent amount of cp & grinded gearsets / traits for craftable sets). To anyone who has no previous experience on any pvp playing ESO pvp is most likely just miserable experience and often causes player to start disliking whole pvp part of game. ESO pvp is way too heavily gear/build based and that makes it also really unbalanced. New players have no access to gear sets/monster sets/antiquities what more experienced players use. And that leads to fact that their stats are a lot worse that those on fully geared players. I recommend that experienced players who disagree on game unbalance to start with new account/at new server and try pvp without those builds & food buffs you have at your main account. Your skill as player is still there but you under perform because you have only let's say lvl 20 gear. Dev teams of good pvp games and endgames (Like GW2) try to balance pvp endgame gameplay so that success is based more on player skill than gear char is using. Over the years ZOS has shown very little intrest on pvp endgame balance & development. And it doesn't help that ZOS tries to balance pvp and pve at same time. But like I said, good vid on essential basics of ESO pvp endgame. It's not your fault that game is what it is...
Why your PvE setup won't work - PvE enemies have a very high health but no or low self heal. That is why longer DPS is a focuses in PvE. Players are the other way around. Low health but good at healing. That is why you need to "burst them down". If you don't kill them very quickly they will out heal you. If the fight goes for long the player with the better self sustain will win as they can keep healing longer. There are some more nuances but that is what it comes down to.
@@MalcolM. I was first very resistant to changing to a PvP setup and didn't understand it. I thought "why should I switch, my DPS is high and I am already setup for solo play". I liked your explanation on being your own tank, healer and DPS in one.
@@alexkazuma219 ignore the jaded players, pvp is good. Servers got new hardware just a couple of months ago so saying that devs don’t care is just stupid tbh
I don’t understand this garbage ass system for pvp, no matter what I build I get melted, and I can’t deal damage to other players, when I dodge it doesn’t actually dodge attacks I still die mid dodge I can have 28k resistance, be blocking and a 18k Templar will kill me in 2 seconds
Well issues like this are usually two-fold: the player's build and, to be blunt, a skill issue. When I encounter people that are having problems with pvp I always go over the build first, because often there's a lot of improving to be done there that makes things a *lot* easier. This can serve as inspiration: eso-pvp-builds.com As for player skill, this comes with experience and following tips from other players. I give some in the second half of this video and I'd like to make a more dedicated video for skill improvement in the future. Either way, other people have encountered the same frustration as you and you can push through it by either improving the build, gameplay sense or both.
@@MalcolM. I have good recourse management, my movement is terrible, as for my build I think I’m just encountering ppl that fend it off entirely, I stay away from any DK because they just stun lock into oblivion, I’m a nightblade, I have a bow build and a melee build, my bow build is ok I just have poor movement for it, my melee build I don’t understand, I can have close to 30k res and still get shredded by any arc or DK out there, even while blocking. My bow build I have 5400 weapon dmg 11000 pen fully buffed. Melee build is 5700 weapon dmg 8k pen with bal pre buffed
Funny/painful noob accidental PvP story. Got a key for a chest in the Imperial City from current event. 🎉Oooh, go to Imperial City FOR THE FIRST TIME! Looks great! Wander outside, getting key fragments! Maybe I can collect the 60, get another chest. Great fun so far.... Then I see someone following me with a symbol on their heads... Ah! This could be nice fun.... Oh dear.... Forgot I'd never PvP'd before, didn't know ABOUT BANKING TEL VAR STONES... 😂... lost about 10,000... No wonder he/she was tea bagging me. Lesson learned. PvP just isn't my bag, I suck so hard at it. Now, I've got ANOTHER KEY to a chest in Imperial City.... Erm... Advice? Apart from L2P😂🎉
I don't play anymore, but here's a comment for the algorithm because I know you're one of the best pvpers & I hope this video reaches the new players
thanks :D

I mean that’s been a fact for like 2 to 3 years maybe ? But ya for the new people to pvp
True I should've mentioned that. But it's ok, any build video people watch mentions vampire

Yo that's a good explanation yeah, I should add something like this when telling people you can't use a PvE build in pvp

Can you share your reshade?
I got a lvl 36 sorc with meteor lol I’m very competitive

You forgot to add "the devs do not care about you or your pvp content"
Cmon Ethan. This is for new players. Don't be a negative Ned bro. It can still be fun
Malcolm and I talked to the devs in person last weekend. You are not correct:)
I‘am new to ESO and i just wanna Play pvp but this Sounds Not very Good xD

@@ognevkafenella9741 alright thanks mate :)
I know players who have been playing the game since the beginning and are so bad at pvp or duel. Should see more of your videos 👍
I found myself kind of disturbed by those hate whispers. Makes me sad to see people like that.
Don't worry there's rotten apples in every community and it's not like you get this constantly, eso's community is very tame for a pvp community!
Wear hate tells like a badge of honor. If you're in PvP and not getting hate tells, you're not wiping the floor.
havent played since like 2017 i think. Did they ever fix the exploit where people can see your spells/abilities winding up when youre stealthed?
danke :D
nice
Decent
Oi oiiii
oi there
Dude i love you but why you still supporting a dead game?
I feel so sad for eso really
You should've come with us to ESO Tavern last week;)
Far from a dead game.

Hope so
there are always morons screeching the game is dead. mate, the game is more alive than ever. go back to your world of warcraft classic
