@AULIGAofBLEED thanks for watching!

I play on PC, but the theory should be the same! I don't mess with all the scribing stuff all that much, just enough to get what I need! But yeah, the necro ult is the big thing coming out of the ground to smash your head in :D

5 PC Plaguebreak on Body, all divines , tri stat enchants Balorgh Head - Divines Tri Stat Dark Convergence Shoulder- Divines Tri stat Masters 2h Greatsword, Nirnhoned with enchant of choice (Shock, Oblivion Dmg, Weapon Dmg) among the best Backbar Dark Convergence Ice Staff - Decisive (Any enchant) 2 Jewels of Infused Dark Convergence, Mythic of choice (Dark Dealers Fete, Markyn Ring, Sea Serpents all good. Sea serpents best damage, but 40% snare sucks on bomber IMO, so I run Markyn for this.) You can run a mythic on this bomber because using corrosive armor (exclusive to DK) gives you max pen anyway. If you don't want to use a mythic, just stay balorgh or switch to something like prior therric for AOE dmg

@tims9723 If it was a mechanical or design flop, I could pass on saying something for sure. But how the hell does this sort of writing come out of an AAA studio. Much less BIOWARE? That's the most terrible thing in my mind.

@ mechanically it’s actually fine. Design, for BioWare, much less a DragonAge title is actually, in the words of TJ Miller to Deadpool, pretty hard to look at. Cartoonish in comparison. The writing and even the acting is even worse which is a surprise. While I was being facetious in my comment, I appreciate the discussion.

@@tims9723 All good! I try to take the time to have discussions with those who comment because that's what I enjoy doing! Yeah. I have no qualms with the series changing art styles (As they have in every game) but the first time I saw "Darkspawn" in Veilguard, I had to pause the game and laugh for a few minutes. They looked just as you said, cartoonish. It took a lot from me over the course of the game to keep believing that this was a "threat" people should be "worried" about.

@demonwolf5553 I played Andromeda on launch without a ton of issues, making me a rare case. But as I replayed it after playing the OG trilogy for the first time this year, I essentially thought: The story was worse, and the companions were worse but still tolerable as a crew. Gameplay I could give or take, I don't care unless the mechanics are so bad it's intolerable. By comparing Veilguard to Andromeda? It's not even a competition. Andromeda wins. The writing is better. The companions are better. It makes up for the meh-ness of other things. Veilguard just doesn't have the redeeming factors anywhere. I appreciated it being a very polished release, but beyond that, there was just nothing to care about. I romanced Neve and it barely felt like a romance opposed to very cringy, flirting written by someone who hasn't ever had a relationship in their life. It was so tongue in cheek that it just didn't pass as genuine.

Forward momentum, healing burst (minor courage) channeled accel, proxy, potion, colossus, boneyard, brawler. Sometimes synergy works, sometimes it doesn't. Nice to have now since they added minor vulnerability to it. Add in other buffs (armor, ghost) as needed. Has more prep than a NB bomber, but it feels like it just drops nukes.

@mateoignacio9670 vd is just more consistent these days. PB works, but there's a 30s timer how long it can be applied to any individuals. Pb will hit a large group harder, but vd will always be consistent dmg. That's my outlook of it anyway. Only time I use pb while bombing is on DK.

@Ebk1988 if you use 2h axe on khajiit, you can use nirnhoned, sharpened, or precise. Play around with each to see what feels best to you

@ thank u boss

@Ebk1988 thanks for watching!

The gameplay footage was just a quick edit of a posted montage, not sure if youtube would've messed with it upon upload. Whole video was rendered for 1080p as usual.

Imperial is always good, the cost reduction is always strong unless you're really dead set on min-maxing damage, where other race win out by a few %

50% agree here. I can't say it's the worst I've ever (personally) played, but it isn't very new player friendly. It takes a lot to get into, and takes a lot more losing (in the process of 'gitting gud') than a lot of people want to deal with.

@@TheLostSoulESO My issues is that as someone who really really really tried to get into it starting a few months ago it's felt like a slog and a chore and almost never fun. I understand grinding gear and getting the right set of gear, I understand getting enough skill points to be fully buffed and even building into meta, but that's really hard because there's just so many skills which adds another layer of complication compared to most mmo's for their pvp. Then tie in weaving, a massive champion level slog (granted not for bg's), and animation cancelling and it's just to much work to just be competitive. I get it's probably fun for the long time vets but this is the kind of thing that kills your pvp scene I also think the recent change from 3 teams to two as awful because it's only exasperated the feeling of being utterly stomped by a premade when before you could kind of have two loosing teams focus more of their aggression on the one team running away with it.

@DarkBunnyLord I hear you. I'm in the absolute same boat. I hate grinding characters. I've had one of each class for years upon years and still don't have all the guild stuff always unlocked, or crafting, or something. I don't like to grind, I like to play my game and have fun. It's one reason I don't play a ton of eso anymore (after 10k+ hours since beta) ESO combat can be really unique and fun when it's going good, but the grinding and balance is easily a huge turn off.

@@sora_is_my_dad420 for bombing! For everything else, it's still meh. Buff necro!

So, this is all IMO - Khajiit best bomber hands down for the 12% racial crit damage (then stack this racial passive with battleaxe for another 12% crit dmg) Other races are fine, but lose a lot of oomph from the extra crit damage. I personally run an Imperial on my necromancer bomber, and it wipes most groups just fine. Race makes a like, 2-3% difference in damage, but khajiit is "max" damage so to speak. If you're using the 2 handed ult that does 100% penetration, you can run mora/slimecraw for extra crit dmg. In theory, it should hit "Harder", but I prefer the soul tether or destro ult combo as it's far more reliable for me (playing on a less than average connection, and we all know how ESO lags in primetime/gray host) Everybody has small tweaks to their build that makes it work for them, I'd encourage you to try both and see what works for you best!

@@TheLostSoulESO Fair enough man and i am a khajiit as well and your build deff makes the most sense and you summed it up perfectly! my khajiit is level 40 cant wait to play this great work on the build and thanks again!

@@Atrocitylol69 The only real change that 100% matters IMO is if you use scribing or not. Destro scribing skill is OP, but the cast timer makes it hard to use with lag Enjoy the build and have fun! Thanks for Watching!

Ball groups have been a thing forever. I don't think they're a major problem, however the level of their survivability ties in to the bad balancing.

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!

Scuf controllers, press one button that is set up to do an entire combo. Get hit by things that weren't even visible.

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
