Thank you!

@@TheLostSoulESO wolsom😁

I just like bombs! 💣

Can I make everyone bomb bait? (pretty please?)

This exactly. I've said this privately a few times, the modern state of combat makes it entirely possible to stack as many buffs and debuffs into one build with no real drawback. Nightblade is extremely guilty of this, especially if you get down into nitty gritty minmaxing

@jasonwidmer9725 the staff counts for 2 pieces out of 5, as would a 2 handed weapon. So with the 3 jewelry and staff = 5 pieces, we only need to proc the dark convergence set from a ground effect on the backbar.

Gotcha I see now thank you!

I would argue it can be fun (based on an individual's definition), but it will never be balanced, or maybe well balanced. I think the combat system is unique, but there's just too many flat statistical differences one way or another.

@@TheLostSoulESO i actually like pvp in most games, just not eso. most games followed the balance ground. The more resistance and health you have the less damage with no penetration requirements. Less tanky more damage. However that doesn't apply to eso in any concept. Being able to tank and do damage kills many many games. Its actually better to have fast ttk. More average players enjoy it.

I agree, I rather have a faster TTK, but my idea is simply that the premise of ESO PVP is fun. The current balance and the high TTK is not fun, but the game itself has the potential 100%, IMO.

@@Frensthescandinavian you can best overland content like quests completely naked now. Lol. No gear required

@@Sarevoky I don't think so. Organized group play is always going to be stronger, and those players are going to choose to play regardless of the changes the developers make.

Bgs need nerfed. There's no point in allowing 12 healers stack heals on 4 dps, while they all have 35k health and 9k dmg. All just to burst down single target average players, or bomb multiple average players with their proc sets hitting harder than their actual skills.

Guilds will mass report Decent Solo Players (also xbox, can't recall if it happened on PC or PS) yet will be the first to promote/advocate for having a spy/troll on the enemy alliance.

Alliance swappers that pick the previous winning team EVERYSINGLE CAMPAIGN.

The list goes on and on, I know for xbox eso is dying. Hardly ever poplocked anymore.

Do you guys just use that word for virtually anything you don't like? Anything that you don't like or makes you feel uncomfortable or bad, is "woke."

​@@RaiRyu292agree... The main point is that some guys are op and others are not... Nothing woke here... I mean... Bethesda has been awake since forever but...

@skyhigh00001 Saying this video is an L2P issue suggests to me you haven't watched it at all. I have over 10k hours in ESO since the beta, I've played pvp for a long time and I will not go egotistical and call myself the GOAT, but I do think I'm competent enough to contend with 95% of players. I don't do one bar builds. I grind out dungeon and trial gear if it's needed for pvp content. I put in my time and effort. The video is about the balancing changes the developers at ZOS have made over the years. In my opinion, their decisions have made the QoL of pvp go downwards. Builds used to be more diverse, and you actually had to put much more thought into something.

Mostly, people build a lot of the "same" characters to engage in the META, most commonly known as "Most Effective Tactics Available". When it comes down to the pure sweatlords in the game, the differences between mathematical and systemic class balance can easily be exemplified. As a casual player, as an average player, as someone who is worse than average, it does not matter what class you play, because these changes are MOST noticeable among the top performance and highest levels of understanding about game mechanics. That being said, there are absolutely, undoubtedly, without question 100% amazing players for each class, as you named Avid Necro as one of the GOATs for Necro (and I agree!), but when it comes down to how well performing the class is against other classes, there is just a clear power discrepancy between something like Necromancer versus a DK, or a Nightblade right now. I am all for classes each having their individual thing, as I mentioned in class identity. Unfortunately, class identity has been gutted over there years so now all you have is a homogenized "this class is a fire/poison skin, and this class is a lightning skin" because they all do the same ( or similar!) damage due to spreadsheet balancing. The root of the balance issue is simply "Can you put a really good necromancer player in a duel with a similarly skilled sorcerer or nightblade player?" The answer on PCNA is that the Sorc or NB will hands down win 9/10 times. The class is just objectively, and mathematically stronger right now. It isn't impossible for the necromancer to win, mind you, but that they have to try objectively 3x harder because of how the class is currently balanced. And that is what frustrates a lot of people. Why should they try 3x harder if they can also meta hump? If you're an average or above skilled player, why try harder? Play the meta class and reap the benefits of the abjectly poor spreadsheet balancing. I posted a video where I haven't played magsorc in YEARS, and even while noobing around (streaking into walls, missing combos, ETC) I was still NUKING people.

I get your point from the dueling perspective, for sure... I honestly hadn't even thought of that... So, this video is really for the highest level of players, where the smallest details actually matter... I'm a die hard player but I'm not high level in that way... I just approach the game with a sense of enjoyment that I keep no matter what... That's why I never get upset and am always nice to everyone... No emotions connected... I don't think many people like me but I'm not going anywhere because I sincerely love this game's pvp and the players... I really appreciate your content and definitely appreciate your thorough response... I like when people take the time to help others grasp new perspectives... That's rad of you... Gg, dude...

@devilpig6 I'm glad you're enjoying it and able to learn something! Yeah, the general idea (that I support) from zos is to make all classes accessible to players so anyone can play how they want. That's absolutely cool, but the problem with how they went about it is just that all the classes do not have equal footing, which leads to greater power discrepancies when you start looking into it! For one example, until this very last patch, necromancer had no class source of major brutality/sorcery or no source of major prophecy/savagery! Meaning that necromancer was THE ONLY(!) class in the game that was required to source very common buffs from weapon or guild skill lines. Those sorts of things become a huge issue in class balance, for example.

Je pense qu'aux niveaux de jeu les plus élevés, ils pourraient faire un meilleur travail. Cependant, ce n’est pas aussi grave que dans certains correctifs. Je pense qu'un peu plus d'ajustements des classes les plus faibles pour les amener à la hauteur de choses comme la lame nocturne ou le sorcier serait une bonne chose à faire. (Désolé pour une mauvaise traduction ! J'ai utilisé Google Translate car je ne parle pas français !) ❤

@honoratus7507 skins disable the look of vampire! Some skins look more like tattoos, and some completely change your character. Either way. Skins turn off the vampire color changes!

A lot of pvp comes down to timing burst combos, and stuff that like. Adding onto that, you factor in a lot of silly little stuff like a light attacking proccing enchantments, poisons on your weapon, proc set effects, so on and so forth! Lag is a bitch though, I can't count the times I have 10k+ HP left and then suddenly fall over dead without explanation!

Anything that takes skill away from a pvp environment and carries players is what ruins pvp any og knows pvp was at a all time high back the game was newer because most ran things like hundings. Now it's all cheese

@@ethanward3912 Half and half agree. I don't like all the proc set cheese. But it's not the answer, otherwise Ravenwatch no proc would have had players, and everyone knows (At least, PCNA) that Ravenwatch was a dead campaign for too long.

@RubyLoudLaughterGaming I'll be honest when I see a werewolf in pvp they instantly die or have 45-50k hp and have no chance of killing me alone, so I tend to just ignore them. I wish it was a valid playstyle again.

@goldiegreen1976 it does take a long time to "git gud" much like any pvp game! But it is a very fun world and you don't lose anything by dying! (Unless you're in the imperial city!) Hope you're enjoying the game, and thanks for watching!

@Oumeic I'm all for anyone playing anything they want to. I can agree the heal stacking gets way too far, but the topic of ball groups isn't so much an issue with game design or balance as it is a playstyle or personal player choice.

@@TheLostSoulESO You are correct…THEY CHOOSE to exploit legitimate game mechanics like the heal stacking. THEY CHOOSE to harass and intimidate other players and farm them for AP.

Checkmate!

@@Oumeic I mean, calling it a legitimate game mechanic and then saying that players are exploiting it is kind of decisively pointless, is it not? Ball groups aren't the only players who can healstack. They're just often the ones who have the MOST healstacking going on. As for them farming AP, I mean yeah. It's not really intimidation or harassing. I've played in ball groups, I've played solo bomber, ganker, 1vx, smallscale, dueler, all of the above really. It's just a different playstyle and some people like it or don't. I don't think it's something that's ever going to change from this point on. Regardless if it did, 12 players who are choosing to min-max and provide group utility sets and coordinate are 9.5/10 times going to run over a mob of people who don't coordinate. End of the day, you really got about three options when it comes to dealing with a ball group (assuming you're solo) 1. Try to bomb them. (Worse groups can be bombed by a solo, I know from experience!) 2. Join a ball group to GVG them or nuke them outta wherever they are. 3. Just leave the area the ballgroup is farming. You said this yourself, they're farming AP. Don't be the AP they farm. :D

@@TheLostSoulESO your attempt at justification are typical. Yes farming AP is the point of the game…increasing points for you alliance is the whole premise. How you choose to do it is the problem. I use the term “legitimate “ as the original intended function of the ability ie. Heal stacking…as a function of raiding in a group it is an essential function for the raid to remain upright. While a ball group in PvP is using it precisely for that function the problem is that it is against other players that have nowhere near the offensive or defensive numbers of an endgame raid boss…and yet a group of 12 players can run a zone as a full raid force with all the perks and have a clear advantage over disadvantaged players. Face it…ideal organization and group makeup is rarely in place to defend against these ball groups. Sure…they are not invincible… but these groups only exist because they know they have clear advantage…and knowing this they choose to continue this behavior because they enjoy seeing the futility of the opponent”s actions. They ruin the spirit of the game. As for your suggestion of just leaving is also a cowardly response…seriously…just walk away from a keep when a bell group shows up? The game is to defend the keep til all is lost. But these guys will kick open the doors and head straight to the walls and relentlessly mow down the opponents over and over and over until it becomes futile enough that the opponent logs or moves on…..and just to add insult to injury the ball group will leave the keep without even repairing gates or walls just to go where the opponent has now relocated to and do the same thing. I call it a stretch to even consider AP farming as their main purpose…it is a straight up power trip…the enjoyment in the abuse of other players. Like I said … ball groups are raid groups going into a zone with no raid mobs to fight. They wipe the floor with players because they know that the odds are there are no meaningful numbers of players with skill or abilities to take down their heal stacking asses. If they would use the zone wide buff in PvP to limit this stacking function then we would at least bring back the nice Zerg fights of old. Back when sheer numbers of fellow players were set against each other to the death…you know…strategy and fun…not 50 players against 12 and the 12 only give up when they are bored. Ball groups are selfish raid groups…in PvE they could be ended by a raid mechanism from the boss or a stage of the fight…in PvP there is no such mechanic…and without full time organized and skilled opposition any ball groups can harass players any time they wish. Unfortunately since there is no motivation from loot or progression for these ball groups…it only speaks to the low character of the individuals who lust for the power trip that killing defenseless player en mass repeatedly for the purpose of humiliation. Bragging you ran with ball groups before and defending them shows you are part of the problem…just like these worshipping content creators that use their platforms to promote the play style rather than call out the act as deplorable. Really…ball group shows up at your keep…so walk away…or become an ace bomber that fails 9 out of 10 bombs on a good day…oh and only gets real lucky against a crappy ball groups….typical flexing I would expect from a ball group worshipper.

Thanks for watching!

Nah, not even. I can hop on my magsorc, which I barely play. 5 pc wretched, 5 pc crafty, DDF, mighty chudan and just go nuke people and never die. It's stupid balance. and I say this as someone who played a ton of ratblade. I've a video up making fun of how easy it is, where I show myself stumbling around and still nuking people and rarely dying.

that is outright wrong, Magsorcs have sustain burst mobility anit-burst anit-preassure (hardend) etc etc and ive seen good magsorcs on not wretched literally skinning people its definitly possible but people take the lazy way out with wretched and you forgot rallyingcry which is what most run in combo with deathdealer

@@DoyouknowtheHweii you sir haven't met any of the gigachad nightblades that delete you in 2 seconds.

@@titusbojan4271 yes i have and iam sttill staying with what i said but u are forgetting a crucial point. Block and they dont kill you

Magsorc players usally suck ass at this game which is the only thing keeping sorcs from being completely dominant. Sorc beats everything. None of the classes you mentioned can keep up with a sorc running a burst combo that is up every 4 seconds, 15k shields and always CCs you and is at a distance with streak. Get good and you will never lose.

It's still fun for sure, just has balancing issues.

@TheLostSoulESO Thanks man Going to boot it up and see how my Nightblade does

@BLVCKSCORP not unkillable but ridiculously difficult, especially if they know how to play! Balance!

@tiramisu8924 I used to play no cp Battlegrounds and cyrodiil exclusively until the no cp campaign died on pcna. It was more balanced yes, but unfortunately the game is built around having champion points and the majority of pop prefers the cp campaign. I learned to live with that, and now days I don't think it's the most terrible thing.Sure, it helps patch holes in builds, but it doesn't make a bad build good in any case. My thought anyway.

I agree, I like much more pvp without champion points

Very good dueling class though

@@DoyouknowtheHweii 100% top 3 dueling class fs

@@vwoh. Yea hard to tell but id even say nr 1 or 2 if u build correctly with like DK and Sorc

@@DoyouknowtheHweii very true, plar is amazing people just think it’s bad cuz they don’t spec into the right things, like I made a plar recently with 15k pen 8k avg wpn and spell and 30k resists, it’s a great class

@@vwoh. it's trash in open world or BGs. It's only really effective in duels

Works, sure.

@@TheLostSoulESO Yes, especially Balorgh which enables gameplay where players don't really have to make build sacrifices to survive and get kills.

I've not played sorc in years but even I survive noobing around.

😂brooo to true 😂 i miss old sorc 😢

I've been playing magsorc for years through thick and thin and well it does finally feel good to be on par with the best of them class wise I will admit surviving some of the things I have using Ward it's just kind of disgusting. I'm in 5 pieces of light armor sub 22k resistance fully buffed

Not true i took a long break and beat people that was on the class day 1

@@Katie-vv6ff high hp is part of the problem, but nerfing hp pools without changing damage, healing, or mitigation values won't do enough to change the meta imo

Kind of like a Overwatch 2 style MOBA balancing? I could understand that, yeah. However I don't think it'd sit well with people when ZOS's key attraction is "play how you want"

100% with you on this one. In retrospect, it's not something you often thing about until you don't have those dlc. Until you don't have the skill lines, until you don't have xyz. It used to be a bit different up until they added mythic items. I think that was the biggest turning point in DLC vs NO DLC power. Once upon a time a competent player with no DLC still could put up their own. Now? Not gonna happen. Game is heavily monetized, bragging about making a lifetime amount over 2 BILLION dollars and we get some of this quality of server performance and balance? Wild.

@@TheLostSoulESO I forgot to even mention Transmuting too. My stickerbook is visual only! I literally have to delete Geodes from my inventory because I have 500 and cannot use a single one. That and the Craft bag nonsense. Its so ridiculous you have to pay 2-3 times the base price to interact with the game and rest of the community in a meaningful way. Games like these are akin to auctions. It becomes “who pays more wins” and that’s unacceptable

@@shieldmaiden101 there are people who make their game work without the craft bag, without the extra housing and bank space, and so on. I really don't know how anyone does that without going insane

@@TheLostSoulESO Ive been trying it lol. My first crafting character atm. I have to be very particular and consistent of the things I put away in my bank and storage. Use all of my gold on Bag space and Bank space and constantly yet unfortunately be selling materials I dont plan to use immediately for more gold. After every few dungeon runs I do laps around Mournhold and empty my inventory. Rinse and repeat all day. I dont want to do end game stuff until I can make my own strong gear. And hopefully profit from making others gear. Im also a Tank. “Get hit, pick up stuff, leave” has been my journey for about a week now. I do have some DLC tho just not ESO or things like Summerset, because when I chose the DLC, I didnt think there were other ones that were necessary.

Yep! This entirely!

They're not balanced separately, and neither are balanced well IMO.

@@DR-nh2kh Proc sets are great. They make build crafting much more satisfying. Without them it’ll just be a numbers game. And the person with the bigger number will Always win.

Thanks for watching! Glad I made relatable points!

@@joshuapetrak-swann5307 I know the skill was very strong for small group or solo wardens. I've heard most of them don't like that nerf. Yet sorc can have a giant shield that burst heals them. Because balance! :P

So people buy new chapter with an even stronger burstheal and i agree i think it wasnt necessary

@@aelisif block tanks op! Until they're negated!

@nobodynothing1469 thank you tanks for being my ultgen! True heroes! ❤️

​@TheLostSoulESO you're smart to build ult and then run off to do something else instead of falling for the trap lol

I can't speak for the difficulty of other MMOS, as I don't really play others to the extent that I do in ESO. Battle Spirit is a direct PVP nerf of damage done, healing done and received, and health recovery (stat). The reason being treating the players with PVE levels of damage (Which are in all rights, higher than they've ever been) nobody would live long enough to engage in PVP. Take for example, a blastbones skill from the Necromancer skill line, say the tooltip was 50k. Beyond your mitigation and crit resist, that skill could one shot you for say, 35k damage. There would be no counterplay, and nothing you could do to further resist that huge pile of damage, and that would only be ONE skill! Much less, all of what a normal PVP combo of damage would contain. Things such as healing done and received correlate with the less damage, and the health recovery nerf came later on after builds of 10k+ health recovery used to be possible. 10k HP you'd regen every 2 seconds. It was very popular on werewolf and pure block tank builds in pvp!

@@TheLostSoulESO oh yeah I know all this. I just don't know why they even need to do it. Like why not just balance for pvp, and then balance your PvE damage and tankiness on the same scale being used for pvp? It literally makes no sense to have two completely different algorithms of damage and survivability in the same game but I understand if there was no battle spirit now, many builds would be one shot with heavy attacks. I'm saying they should just re balance THAT in the first place

Yep, I love the fact that you can play what you want to play, and still get some results, but the balance means that other classes are just de facto better than yours more often than not.
