I had to learn a lot of this stuff the hard way and, even then, I didn’t know if what I was doing was always correct. This vid fills a void of PvP content that isn’t just “here’s my build okthanksbye” or a 5 minute montage without narration. The info you’re going over here is *invaluable*, thanks! You’re one of the best ESO content creators!
The biggest problem in 99% of ESO "guides" and "builds" videos is that they're all centered around using a maxed character with 2.5k CP (that you probably don't have yet), DLC locked sets (that you probably don't have), powerful mythics (that you probably don't have) and every gameplay footage they show is of them fighting low CP players in Cyrodiil. You learn a lot more just from playing the game than you do from watching that BS they call guides. Never do I see them showcasing their skills in battlegrounds, with more accessible items for example.
One thing i learn is to invest into defence. Get good shields, health buffs and up those resistances. Because the longer you last in a fight, the more you can learn and observe. The constant respawning and deaths is very disruptive to pvp education.
Little extra tip for potions. If you get stunned, dont pop your immovable pot until you become stunable again. This way you maximise your cc immunity. I noticed here that, when you got stunned, you got up and popped your immovable pot. If you hold off until youre cc immunity runs out, youll survive longer.
Great vid,,, now videos on how to counter / fight other classes .. weakness , strengths / things to look for when fighting each class .. that would make a good series
I feel some other good tips are to prioritize learning the flow of the game over trying to be the best. I always recommend to my buddies that if they want to play stam that they should start off as a tank and for mag as a healer, as they're easier to gear, always in high demand for grouping, and really allow you to learn what all the procs do to your player. They're great baseline classes that lead into understanding how good damage players handle tankier players, via experience through getting beat up on. You learn when to dodge and when to block, when to cleanse and heal, and how to survive high dps players that will do everything in their power to one shot you.
Good players know a good burst rotation, back away from outgunned situations, maintain their resource pools and use line of sight. Great players do all the above and know when to bash/ interrupt and know when to pop the immovable pots.
Deltia!!!! You have no idea how happy I am to see a video from you pop up on my suggested!!! I had to check like 20 times to make sure it wasn’t an old one. I’m so happy!
Matt you don't have 2 have good dps for pvp my nb has 30k dps and can still hit 12k-20k spec bows and it's not even a gank build pvp is more about burst and how long you can pressure the other player
yep I know the feeling, I just know I am going to die once I have tried clicking a pot 3 times and hear the sound, skills as a whole at times wont even work.
That's not why people die quickly. For one it's all about your race and class. Second its about what skills and attributes you excel at with the build you chose. Third its about armor sets, weapons, and jewelry. Fourth, its about the traits and quality of your armor, weap, and jewelry. Last, its about finding a cycle to go through offensive and defensive. Yes the idea of knowing when to play def or off is great but you need the best tools. If you have epic armor, jewelry, and weapons with the wrong traits then you will get destroyed by someone with legendary armor and the right traits. Pvp players have all the top sets and specialty one piece weapons and jewelry. Ring of the pale order, etc etc. That ring alone keeps you alive much longer then someone without it. Unless you have it all then don't play pvp expecting to win or be on top. You also have hackers that mod the game so they can't die. You ever notice you hit someone with serious dps combo and throw in your ultimate just to see no damage, then get one shot killed by them?? Does that seem normal to you, sure hope not. Play with a group in cyrodil or imperial city and make sure you always have more players then the group you attack, other then that you will die. Battlegrounds is easy to single out players, so just make sure you are the one attacking first or you will die. Focus on offense in Battlegrounds. The place you want to focus defense in is Cyrodil because it sucks spawning at a keep and going all the way back to the fight.
Not true I ran blue armor for 2 weeks and I did the same as with epic and gold yes it helps but you have 2 have skill 2 use those skills 2 ur best ability
It also appears you have no idea how pvp works you can't go in with a trash combo and expect 2 kill a guy and then get bursted and say he's hacking I had a trash talker 1v1 me and call me a hacker just bc he didn't have the burst 2 put me down or the def 2 withstand my dmg
@@esobanana He's not complaining about being bad at DPS. He's saying it makes no logical sense that someone can literally get wailed on in 8 moves and still not take any damage. That's still cheating, but most likely via exploit.
I`m an ageing solo player so don`t have any of the top gear..Just started a bit of PVP for fun after watching these videos. Getting annihilated but its good fun.(to a point)
Cyrodiil can be frustrating without a fairly large group. I usually play by myself or with 3 or 4 other guildies. Try Imperial City. Much faster paced. Collecting TV stones is fun. It’s a fun balance between pve and pvp. You will get ganked though. It’s a nighblade fest in there.
1. If you go through two rotations and you haven't made a dent in them, save your resources and move on. 2. Roll Dodge, Roll Dodge, Roll Dodge... learn the timing, it's the best defense. 3. Know your role. Not every build is an in-your-face build... don't treat it as such. 4. You can use gap closers as a means of escape... jump from one person, to the next, to the next. You can really cover some ground this way. 5. Keep a good eye. Don't attack one enemy, lose track of them and start attacking another. Hitting random enemies is just wasting resources. 6. PVP is a game of burst. Whomever catches the other without buffs (or more debuffs) and can run a good burst, wins...
Stick with a single character for a while, let's say for a month of regular play. Duel with it. Fine tune the gear, the damage versus defense, the amount of sustain. Get a feel for how far you can push your build. If you get frustrated, don't jump ship to another class. The grass is always greener on the other side and you're not going to improve if you constantly switch classes. That said, it is good to try every class once, if only so you understand your opponents better, you understand the rock / paper / scissor effects and, perhaps, to find the class you want to settle on in the first place.
Make a mag dk or a mag Templar. Most fun because you can get in extended fights and not insta die. Personally my argonian mag dk, is the one that makes me feel like I’m actually good sometimes. 😏
I want to go back to doing some PVP after watching this vid. Never seen any other creator break it down like this and show an example of the Lesson. This is going to be great for new player as well. Thank for this and please do more like this!
Fantastic content. Your last couple videos stamplar and magplar have really helped me improve. I bounce from character to character but you’ve kind of got me sold that templars are definitely fun to play.
Finally a pvp "tutorial" that fully explains what you are doing and why you are doing it. As a stamB it blows to have no method of purge. Now if only break free, my pots and ulti would work ... ;-) Great vid tho
As a nightblade you actually have something better: Shadowy Disguise. It supresses DOT damage. Granted it has it's own problems. Notably Curse, Power of the Light and various other things will knock you out of cloak. I main a magblade, btw. I suppose stamblade can't sustain cloak in the same way (without vamp + Darloc Brae at least). To increase break free reliability, I recommend running the new Slippery CP.
Stamblade crazy strong offensively it's main draw back its squishy. Got to use shadow image with cloak. If you don't combine those together, players that know how to counter cloak will be much harder fight.
@@fredeso7844 if someone sneezes I am pulled out of cloak and I play in no CP cyro. So while valid points, I don't have these issues in my pve blades where all these items function correctly.
@@blktauna: I agree cloak is unreliable, if you are close to other players. However it probably has to be, in order to be balanced. Walter Vidas is correct. You have to use Shadowy Disguise and Shadow Image together. At least that is one option. The other one, the one that I play, is to be extremely fast. That means all Swift, preferably gold jewelry, and the Wild Hunt ring. Do not use anything but the Wild Hunt ring where you can. On magblade: Concealed Weapon and Race Against Time. On stamblade: A bow (front or back bar) so you get Major Expedition after dodging. Possibly Race Against Time as well (for the crit damage too). On magblade this is an extreme compromise, because you need stamina sustain for dodge rolling as well (without Shadow Image). Speed and dodge rolling suits nightblade so much. Cloak works much better once you fully commit to speed. The problem then becomes how to retain enough damage to still be effective. That is easier on stamblade, I feel. Any tankiness you might also want typically goes out the window with this approach. There is no room for that too, although the standard in current Cyrodiil seems to be 1 aggressive, 1 defensive set in general. Me and my partner are currently wearing all Well-Fitted Impregnable Armor as one of our sets. No great resistances, other than crit resistance, but at least it's something. Actually, come to think of it, on my stamblade (I play both mag and stam) I currently use Shacklebreaker / Spriggan in Cyro, although I don't play her much.
By the way, in terms of your pots, ulti and CC break not working, I agree with you, if you are playing Gray Host or Ravenwatch at prime time. I have loooong given up on doing that. Completely. You just can't. I don't even think about it. Not on a squishy build that relies on damage avoidance. Since you like playing no CP, that means you're out of luck as far as Cyro. There isn't another campaign. Play Imperial City or BGs or another game at prime time. I'm serious, unfortunately.
Nice video! 👍 Could you make a MagDK PvP (Cyrodiil & BG) build plz? I‘d like to see one from you. I began to play a MagDK since the beginning but your builds gave me always the fine-tuning. 🤩
How to survive outnumbered in eso. Move to a 🇺🇸 city. Get fiber-optic hardwired to your system, no filter. Now that you have a sub 20ms ping as long as you are kiting you will unsync attackers soft target skills. The server will read you in a different location and almost everything misses. If you see someone going 20+ and 0 in a battleground this is likelly because they don't need mitigation. Also this is a great video with lots of good information. It's nice to see you back deltia I hope you are staying healthy. Btw if you ever want to try the NA-PS server HMU.
Are you on PC? Cause, if you are, I strongly recommend a combat log addon, such as the one included in FTC. Death recap is highly unreliable. The information invariably appears collated from too long a time period - several seconds before your death - that may have had nothing to do with why you died. A proper combat log lets you pinpoint the burst combos someone ran on you and things like enemy player coordinatiuon.
I hate being CC'd with a full stam bar and nothing happening when I break free. Just watching the animation and then I am dead, this game is all about 1 playing the meta class which is currently a Warden then getting a decent ping to the server during play time. If your on both sides of that you will wreck people !
Stamblade is meta rn and you definitely don't need a meta class 2 win Ive played nb, warden, dk, and Templar my nb did the best dmg and could x the best but my warden can also do great burst and is super hard 2 kill and you know Templar he's just hard 2 play this patch respect 2 people who are good on that class
Love the video. You’d have a million subscribers and this game would be more popular if ESO + didn’t exist. You need it to really enjoy the game and it sucks to pay that much and also have to buy major dlc’s
great video. watch buffs, line of sight and the biggest suggestion is don't be afraid to die. for a long time i was afraid of dying so turtled up/avoided fights. this game is so much more fun if you realize it's ok to die as long as you know why you died. once i got over fear of dying, i started improving and pvp is so much more enjoyable (when the server is cooperating)
u can make a video guide for defensive and offensive rotations and each classes basic combos. So ppl will learn what to expect and not just die to basic combo like dizzy medium attack into db
Thanks for the video. I'm ok at pve, but i've avoided PvP as it usually means near instant death. It's easy to get very discouraged with this. Perhaps I'm just bad at it. But I can't imagine that I am the only one who feels this way.
In pvp start tanky with good sustain and then increase your damage as your reach your comfort spot. DO NOT START PVP IN PVE GEAR OR GLASS CANON BUILD unless you are ganking. You're either gonna be a blocker, runner, or rolly poly for defense.
Nice vid man really good tips only thing is its so hard to do anything in pvp now days because the lag is so bad even in battle grounds. It's at the point where I lag a good 2 or 3 seconds sometimes longer. So I never no how much health or stam or magic I got lmao. Worst part is the game was better 6 years ago then nw?? 😤
My biggest issue with PVP is opponents hitting for 2-6k damage and me hitting for 400-1500. I've seen numbers as low as 60s, prior to CP2.0 (haven't been PvPing much the last few months). PvE my toons are solid, PvP I don't have enough dps to kill people (except other fake PvPers like myself).
Great video, for me though I just make it real simple. If you see me jump 3 times that means yo get away from me I'm just questing. It never works I always die....
Yes, what banana said. Jumping up and down in place is a universal signal in eso to initiate a duel. XD That’s actually kinda hilarious to think how many duels you may have initiated trying to avoid them. If you want to avoid combat the signal is to stand still and hold block
Something I'm trying to figure out is what I should be looking for to make my characters stronger, I know it's a mix of all three, but what's more important? Strong gear with good stats Your ability/passives set-up Being CP 2000+ Because despite being CP 160 now and having the gear to complement the tanky DPS build I'm going for, I still get hit for 20K damage and can sometimes hardly scratch an enemy's health bar in a 1v1. Am I just Garbo?
@@albundy7991 my physical and spell resistance are both like 20k, while crit resistance is at 2k, all my other resistances are like 30%. I'm using both the black rose and reactive sets Right now. Keep in mind, I'm only just coming back to this game after PC launch and I'm kinda relearning all the new stuff, like the new champion point system. I've only been playing again for like, a week n a half.
ZOS standard UI includes the option to show buffs and debuffs (above health / resource bars). The buff tracking on and just above skill bar comes from the ActionDurationReminder addon. ZOS will include that same functionality in the next patch.
I understood the BG segment but it happens so fast. I do prefer Cyrodill to BGs though. I think my issue is I play a lot of classes, so I can’t ever lock a good momentum rotation. DK is the main, with the best feeling rotation. just need the gear to compete in Cyrodill.
In the link for your Magicka templar your second bar is a restoration staff... this is cleary not the same set up... why can't you link what we are actuality seeing?
In BG im fine. Im a tank/healer Templar imperial. Bg i survive and can usually get a lot of assists. In cyridil i feel like im glass. Even 1v1 i couldnt heal enough to not die and he just ripped through me... Makes no sense at all.
Yo man I downloaded your delta semi_trailer pack and it didn't work.... Subscribed and enabled and the trailers aren't showing up. I'm not sure what's going on, don't really want to give it a thumbs down. Maybe you can help? Thanks in advance
some bg's i get like 20 kills and 1-2 deaths, then others i get completely annihilated like 2 kills and 18 deaths....its so random, whats up with this?
yeah, those little squares don't make any sense to me at all. It's just way too much information too fast for me to process to be of any use. I usually just have the timers in my head as much as possible.
Dying too much? 90% of the players in Cyrodil are only out there to "Not Die". Either Rock/Tower Kiters or Worthless Tank Zerg Fodder, either one relies on 8 guys hitting you for 2k damage each or their ultra high regen builds... The last thing ESO PvP needs is more "not dying". --- I say go show up with ultra high DPS, a well practiced combo that you know if you land it you will do 15- 20k+ damage on a 30k Resist Enemy., minimum 20K+ Penetration, 180%+ Crit damage, and maybe one sheild and one heal.... you don't need much defense because the minute you hit someone for more than 10k they are going to run away- and don't be afraid to fight to the death. Just being not afraid to die will win quite a few fights, because most people act like if they die in this game they die in real life.---- when 90% of the population plays that way, the best defense is pure firepower.. I die a ton, but I kill far more than a die.... and the best feeling in this game is taking down some tower troll that 8 other guys have been chasing around for 15m
gear is not mentioned? or did you mention that the people who are taking on a bunch of people all at once are min maxed. If you wanna live learn build to 30K resists and learn that pvp is all about burst damage not dps.
f2p player here, my ping is usually around 250-300...sometimes i cant break free even with enough stamina or cant switch skillbar smoothly even tho im pressing the key lol...and i can melt other players and get melted myself just as quickly...ESO pvp is pretty whack imo, prolly has worse balance than Neverwinter(back in the day)
PvP Gear is SO important in PvP, in fact, that ZOS has made a gross negligence cause they’ve no fucking wherewithal to introduce pve-ers to PvP.. you have no fucking idea that there are different sets you MUST get until you start asking around or are told. It’s a shitty thing to neglect to do. Even Blizzard has more common sense and foresight. Fucking Blizzard.
ZoS is all about making Murphy’s Law your constant state of being until you learn and fill your always full inventory with yet another set that you have to learn how to build and utilize by exterior sources. ZoS style of gaming is drawing to a close and good riddance.
Used to be me too. Usually its because you run straight in to them like as if their ads in a dungeon. Big big mistake. Imagine eachnplayer on the screen is a veteran dlc boss. You will start to change the way you play, looking for the “mechanics”. Most people with high deaths are pve’ers who are bringing those habits into a place they really should not
@@Knowledge.to_Come I have a lot of experience with pvp but not in this game. I'm pretty sure the reason is because their gear is way better than mine.
@@renoraider9817 they are blocking stuns then using their own, they are using impenetrable pots meaning 12seconds of cant stun them etc. They even time it , after your first stun is when they pop a impen pot and u cant stun for 13 seconds after. The minute he sees you let go of block in the 12 seconds hes going to kill you because hes probably wearing clever alchemist. Their all the same
I love eso but pvp in it is very bad in immersion context. It's feel like gunfight with super fast running, not sword fight with armor and spells. Simply it is too fast, and I train kendo and hema with longsword.
no1 reason: getting zerged (that way no one, even the best vxers, can survive) no2 reason: fall damage no3 reason: playing stupidly which includes no2 no4 reason: the opponent was better
I die because I go in with pve characters just for the transmutes. I’ll pvp again when they refund me the millions of gold I spent on pvp gear that’s not usable now in pvp.
I just go in with a tank rocking alessian beekeeper and chokethorn on a nord dk eating bewitched sugar skulls. Basically relic runner every match, no death (evil laugh) i like to make their lives as miserable as mine
I'm dying because I'm not playing a stamina class they will dominate the pvp seceen with scaling proc be sets......it's easy for stam to hit 7k wd. If you think it's bad now just wait🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's gotten nerf like 5 times if not more lmao. Why don't you guys ask to buff things that don't work as well as others instead of asking for everything to be trash?
Dizzy swing actually needs some skill and timing to be able to use it properly. Stuff like spin to win are the type of things that need to be reworked. Things like grave robber 'stick out' because it's the only synergy that the caster can activate on his own and hit for 14k but you have a problem with a clunky spamable that's gotten nerfed already.

@@blktauna: I agree cloak is unreliable, if you are close to other players. However it probably has to be, in order to be balanced. Walter Vidas is correct. You have to use Shadowy Disguise and Shadow Image together. At least that is one option. The other one, the one that I play, is to be extremely fast. That means all Swift, preferably gold jewelry, and the Wild Hunt ring. Do not use anything but the Wild Hunt ring where you can. On magblade: Concealed Weapon and Race Against Time. On stamblade: A bow (front or back bar) so you get Major Expedition after dodging. Possibly Race Against Time as well (for the crit damage too).
On magblade this is an extreme compromise, because you need stamina sustain for dodge rolling as well (without Shadow Image). Speed and dodge rolling suits nightblade so much. Cloak works much better once you fully commit to speed. The problem then becomes how to retain enough damage to still be effective. That is easier on stamblade, I feel.
Any tankiness you might also want typically goes out the window with this approach. There is no room for that too, although the standard in current Cyrodiil seems to be 1 aggressive, 1 defensive set in general. Me and my partner are currently wearing all Well-Fitted Impregnable Armor as one of our sets. No great resistances, other than crit resistance, but at least it's something. Actually, come to think of it, on my stamblade (I play both mag and stam) I currently use Shacklebreaker / Spriggan in Cyro, although I don't play her much.
By the way, in terms of your pots, ulti and CC break not working, I agree with you, if you are playing Gray Host or Ravenwatch at prime time. I have loooong given up on doing that. Completely. You just can't. I don't even think about it. Not on a squishy build that relies on damage avoidance. Since you like playing no CP, that means you're out of luck as far as Cyro. There isn't another campaign. Play Imperial City or BGs or another game at prime time. I'm serious, unfortunately.
Nice video! 👍
Could you make a MagDK PvP (Cyrodiil & BG) build plz? I‘d like to see one from you.
I began to play a MagDK since the beginning but your builds gave me always the fine-tuning. 🤩
How to survive outnumbered in eso. Move to a 🇺🇸 city. Get fiber-optic hardwired to your system, no filter. Now that you have a sub 20ms ping as long as you are kiting you will unsync attackers soft target skills. The server will read you in a different location and almost everything misses. If you see someone going 20+ and 0 in a battleground this is likelly because they don't need mitigation.
Also this is a great video with lots of good information. It's nice to see you back deltia I hope you are staying healthy. Btw if you ever want to try the NA-PS server HMU.
In other words: cheat.
Or you get good.
Death recap will always tell me why I die so much especially from just a single player lol.
Are you on PC? Cause, if you are, I strongly recommend a combat log addon, such as the one included in FTC. Death recap is highly unreliable. The information invariably appears collated from too long a time period - several seconds before your death - that may have had nothing to do with why you died. A proper combat log lets you pinpoint the burst combos someone ran on you and things like enemy player coordinatiuon.
Wow! Great video man! 😃 That is all awesome info. Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks for this video.. i finally knew why i died so fast and it was so dumb.. i forgot to block with my shield :(
I hate being CC'd with a full stam bar and nothing happening when I break free. Just watching the animation and then I am dead, this game is all about 1 playing the meta class which is currently a Warden then getting a decent ping to the server during play time. If your on both sides of that you will wreck people !
My favorite way to die is I wail on this dude his health goes to 1/4. Then he heals I see no animation and then I die.
Stamblade is meta rn and you definitely don't need a meta class 2 win Ive played nb, warden, dk, and Templar my nb did the best dmg and could x the best but my warden can also do great burst and is super hard 2 kill and you know Templar he's just hard 2 play this patch respect 2 people who are good on that class
Love the video. You’d have a million subscribers and this game would be more popular if ESO + didn’t exist. You need it to really enjoy the game and it sucks to pay that much and also have to buy major dlc’s
Dude computer games are dirt cheap, not sure what you mean by have to pay that much. Like, two starbuck's Lattes a month?
This game is still very popular just no one likes pvp except the og players pve is popping
great video. watch buffs, line of sight and the biggest suggestion is don't be afraid to die. for a long time i was afraid of dying so turtled up/avoided fights. this game is so much more fun if you realize it's ok to die as long as you know why you died. once i got over fear of dying, i started improving and pvp is so much more enjoyable (when the server is cooperating)
When people ask me why they do they keep dying, my first question usually is, "Are you blocking?" Lol.
Block + Breath!
old time subscriber nice to see you making eso video's again god bless
Phenomenal video !!! Awesome advice and information !!
u can make a video guide for defensive and offensive rotations and each classes basic combos. So ppl will learn what to expect and not just die to basic combo like dizzy medium attack into db
Thanks for the 101 tips for new players you're doing a great job keeping the game alive and bring in new players too the pvp scene
Thanks for the video. I'm ok at pve, but i've avoided PvP as it usually means near instant death. It's easy to get very discouraged with this. Perhaps I'm just bad at it. But I can't imagine that I am the only one who feels this way.
Good video. I'll probably be rerolling to ep this go around. Grayhost DC is nothing but giant zergs now.
In pvp start tanky with good sustain and then increase your damage as your reach your comfort spot. DO NOT START PVP IN PVE GEAR OR GLASS CANON BUILD unless you are ganking. You're either gonna be a blocker, runner, or rolly poly for defense.
It's ok to die in PvP, that's how you get better. In that case, I'm a master already. Great vid Deltia, this will help me with my PvP game for sure.
My biggest problem is that i YOLO into 4v4 teamfights of 2 other teams . needless to say death chance is 99,1%
the reason: Lag
I read the video title and instantly thought: "Lag. Just lag."
Wiggling your mouse increases dps
Nice vid man really good tips only thing is its so hard to do anything in pvp now days because the lag is so bad even in battle grounds. It's at the point where I lag a good 2 or 3 seconds sometimes longer. So I never no how much health or stam or magic I got lmao. Worst part is the game was better 6 years ago then nw?? 😤
Either zergs or ping/performance usually kills me
Great video man! This will help a lot of people!
Awesome video with some really good tips. My only problem is why are you not AD 🥺❤️
My biggest issue with PVP is opponents hitting for 2-6k damage and me hitting for 400-1500. I've seen numbers as low as 60s, prior to CP2.0 (haven't been PvPing much the last few months). PvE my toons are solid, PvP I don't have enough dps to kill people (except other fake PvPers like myself).
min maxed pvp gear - if you want to hit those big numbers you have to run the same ole boring gear all the other sweaty tryhards are running
@@cinchmccoy min maxed gear different CPs, different skills. Completely different character basically.
Tell me you were in the military without telling me you were in the military.
It might behoove you....
Lol. Great video. Love the content
:)
If anyone wants to laugh at ESO in the initial stages, check out Angry Joe’s ESO review, 😂😂😂 man that brought back the memories lol!
I don't need a video to tell me I suck at pvp!
Nice video.
Great video, for me though I just make it real simple. If you see me jump 3 times that means yo get away from me I'm just questing. It never works I always die....
That usually means you wanna duel for most pvp players lol
Yes, what banana said. Jumping up and down in place is a universal signal in eso to initiate a duel. XD That’s actually kinda hilarious to think how many duels you may have initiated trying to avoid them. If you want to avoid combat the signal is to stand still and hold block
Thanks for the tips, really nice! I have a question tho, how do you get the debuff left of the buffs on the bar?
1. Performance
2. Performance
3. Performance
4. Performance
5. Performance
You're so funny, can i be like you?
The one thing I cant stand when I die is having an ulti and a potion available.
I’m up, they see me, I’m down!
Army bounding drills in ESO lmao
awesome video
Something I'm trying to figure out is what I should be looking for to make my characters stronger, I know it's a mix of all three, but what's more important?
Strong gear with good stats
Your ability/passives set-up
Being CP 2000+
Because despite being CP 160 now and having the gear to complement the tanky DPS build I'm going for, I still get hit for 20K damage and can sometimes hardly scratch an enemy's health bar in a 1v1.
Am I just Garbo?
Provably.. but 20k hits still seem a little to much bro. What's your set up and resistances (including crit)?
@@albundy7991 my physical and spell resistance are both like 20k, while crit resistance is at 2k, all my other resistances are like 30%.
I'm using both the black rose and reactive sets Right now.
Keep in mind, I'm only just coming back to this game after PC launch and I'm kinda relearning all the new stuff, like the new champion point system.
I've only been playing again for like, a week n a half.
Rotating potions and ultimate? What if you're ultimate isn't ready? Takes mine forever (it seems) to be usable.
Hi Deltia, can you please tell me what add on your using to show your stat bars and buff debuffs like that?
ZOS standard UI includes the option to show buffs and debuffs (above health / resource bars). The buff tracking on and just above skill bar comes from the ActionDurationReminder addon. ZOS will include that same functionality in the next patch.
Bandits UI/action duration reminder. I have a addons video.
I understood the BG segment but it happens so fast. I do prefer Cyrodill to BGs though.
I think my issue is I play a lot of classes, so I can’t ever lock a good momentum rotation.
DK is the main, with the best feeling rotation. just need the gear to compete in Cyrodill.
Haven't tried playing Cyrodil really but It seems 90% of BG players have no idea what they are supposed to be doing.
In the link for your Magicka templar your second bar is a restoration staff... this is cleary not the same set up... why can't you link what we are actuality seeing?
Is it just me, or is the camera jittering left and right every few seconds make anyone else sick? Gave me a headache
Thanks realy cool advice
waaaa Deltia's Back?
Pretty sure it’s because I got hit for a 17k incap and 14k surprise attack even with 24k physical resist wtf
Great video!
In BG im fine. Im a tank/healer Templar imperial.
Bg i survive and can usually get a lot of assists.
In cyridil i feel like im glass. Even 1v1 i couldnt heal enough to not die and he just ripped through me...
Makes no sense at all.
Yo man I downloaded your delta semi_trailer pack and it didn't work.... Subscribed and enabled and the trailers aren't showing up. I'm not sure what's going on, don't really want to give it a thumbs down. Maybe you can help? Thanks in advance
Great stuff
My game never ever runs this smooth 🤪
What addons do you use for the Heath bar and BFF bar ?
Beginning is top 10 sad anime deaths
some bg's i get like 20 kills and 1-2 deaths, then others i get completely annihilated like 2 kills and 18 deaths....its so random, whats up with this?
Happens to everyone tbh. Super high MMR matches it comes down to who has the healer on their team type of thing.
"The reasons you're dying too much in ESO PvP"
999+
yeah, those little squares don't make any sense to me at all. It's just way too much information too fast for me to process to be of any use. I usually just have the timers in my head as much as possible.
Dying too much? 90% of the players in Cyrodil are only out there to "Not Die". Either Rock/Tower Kiters or Worthless Tank Zerg Fodder, either one relies on 8 guys hitting you for 2k damage each or their ultra high regen builds... The last thing ESO PvP needs is more "not dying". --- I say go show up with ultra high DPS, a well practiced combo that you know if you land it you will do 15- 20k+ damage on a 30k Resist Enemy., minimum 20K+ Penetration, 180%+ Crit damage, and maybe one sheild and one heal.... you don't need much defense because the minute you hit someone for more than 10k they are going to run away- and don't be afraid to fight to the death. Just being not afraid to die will win quite a few fights, because most people act like if they die in this game they die in real life.---- when 90% of the population plays that way, the best defense is pure firepower.. I die a ton, but I kill far more than a die.... and the best feeling in this game is taking down some tower troll that 8 other guys have been chasing around for 15m
I agree one hundred percent
I don’t know, I tower run and kill ppl there chasing me.
gear is not mentioned? or did you mention that the people who are taking on a bunch of people all at once are min maxed. If you wanna live learn build to 30K resists and learn that pvp is all about burst damage not dps.
Key words of this video to newbies "LINE OF SIGHT" ... most important thing to pvp if he can't see you he can't target you. Also.... DC 4 LIFE!!!
EP all the way ;)
@@elti5740 nah
Deltia cover me im moving!!!
f2p player here, my ping is usually around 250-300...sometimes i cant break free even with enough stamina or cant switch skillbar smoothly even tho im pressing the key lol...and i can melt other players and get melted myself just as quickly...ESO pvp is pretty whack imo, prolly has worse balance than Neverwinter(back in the day)
It's the other way around, I don't fucking die at all but I deal no damage lol
What is that giant Damage Ult that erased your health to below 25%
Hammer ult
How to fix potato fingers?
PvP Gear is SO important in PvP, in fact, that ZOS has made a gross negligence cause they’ve no fucking wherewithal to introduce pve-ers to PvP.. you have no fucking idea that there are different sets you MUST get until you start asking around or are told. It’s a shitty thing to neglect to do. Even Blizzard has more common sense and foresight. Fucking Blizzard.
ZoS is all about making Murphy’s Law your constant state of being until you learn and fill your always full inventory with yet another set that you have to learn how to build and utilize by exterior sources. ZoS style of gaming is drawing to a close and good riddance.
If you hide, you can't die
If you're dead, you also can't die. 🧠
What is a cc?
In BGs I'm generally the one with the most deaths. Frustrating.
Used to be me too. Usually its because you run straight in to them like as if their ads in a dungeon. Big big mistake. Imagine eachnplayer on the screen is a veteran dlc boss. You will start to change the way you play, looking for the “mechanics”. Most people with high deaths are pve’ers who are bringing those habits into a place they really should not
@@Knowledge.to_Come I have a lot of experience with pvp but not in this game. I'm pretty sure the reason is because their gear is way better than mine.
@@renoraider9817 they are blocking stuns then using their own, they are using impenetrable pots meaning 12seconds of cant stun them etc. They even time it , after your first stun is when they pop a impen pot and u cant stun for 13 seconds after. The minute he sees you let go of block in the 12 seconds hes going to kill you because hes probably wearing clever alchemist. Their all the same
Pvp in eso is all about “who is the better stunner” who can burst the best is 2nd to mastering the stun
@@Knowledge.to_Come That makes a lot of sense. I'm usually CCed when I get stomped almost every time. I'll look into that. Thanks for the input.
Almost every player now hits you one time, but you take 7 or 8 hits and die, don't even want to play it anymore.
I love eso but pvp in it is very bad in immersion context. It's feel like gunfight with super fast running, not sword fight with armor and spells. Simply it is too fast, and I train kendo and hema with longsword.
It's not everyone's cup of tea but I don't know anyone who wants 2 sit there taking turns 2 attack
Main reason - LAG. It doesn't matter how strong you are or what your build is, at the end of the day you just not having fun because of it
im too noob in pvp, my only way to kill someone is to flank them despite of being a bruiser warden
no1 reason: getting zerged (that way no one, even the best vxers, can survive)
no2 reason: fall damage
no3 reason: playing stupidly which includes no2
no4 reason: the opponent was better
I die because I go in with pve characters just for the transmutes. I’ll pvp again when they refund me the millions of gold I spent on pvp gear that’s not usable now in pvp.
I just go in with a tank rocking alessian beekeeper and chokethorn on a nord dk eating bewitched sugar skulls. Basically relic runner every match, no death (evil laugh) i like to make their lives as miserable as mine
I'm dying because I'm not playing a stamina class they will dominate the pvp seceen with scaling proc be sets......it's easy for stam to hit 7k wd.
If you think it's bad now just wait🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
MagNB gankers, Magcro and Magplar extremely strong, Magsorc as always...
Nerf Dizzying swings
It's gotten nerf like 5 times if not more lmao. Why don't you guys ask to buff things that don't work as well as others instead of asking for everything to be trash?
@@albundy7991 because when a nail is sticking out you hammer it down. You don't pull out the other nails.
Dizzy swing actually needs some skill and timing to be able to use it properly. Stuff like spin to win are the type of things that need to be reworked. Things like grave robber 'stick out' because it's the only synergy that the caster can activate on his own and hit for 14k but you have a problem with a clunky spamable that's gotten nerfed already.
@@albundy7991 I was unaware of the grave robber thing. Also, yeah. Nerf it till its not 8/10 peoole using it.
Lmao
