I'm going to give this a shot again (after a 32gb download gently caress it I better try it). What do I need to know if my only interest is PvP? Any build advice?

Goons are rolling with Ebonheart Pact mains for PvP but dummies like me have mains in other alliances, which sucks. Roll an EP main for cool and good times.

No big, man. Fresh goons get fresh duds so they look good while killin'. Also we need to trial all the time because that was hilarious (the Maw part, at least).

Confirming that Deltia is, in fact, a loving hack. For context, he's currently the emp on Azura's.

[11:17:03] Deltia: ive been working on this server for 2 days
[11:17:09] Deltia: im taking advantage
[11:17:39] To Deltia: so you're taking advantage of a pop-locked asian invasion to completely wipe out the map? Cool story.
[11:17:51] Deltia: yes
[11:18:00] To Deltia: Always knew you were a hack tbh. Enjoy your PvE buff server

Probably Azura's or Haderus. Azuras for some of our lowbie players to have a decent shot without getting completely murdered and Haderus if Azura's proves to be swarming with bananas or blueberries.

Did gold pledge tonight with @antiris and @aliastra. Murdered Bogdan in under a minute with me dps tanking in dw and light armor. Those guys should post their specs because, even though our PUG heals were really good, that was some awesome dps poo poo.

Ebonheart. Everything else is up to you though I'd recommend nightblade/sorc/Templar.

Also reminder for any sorcerers, this will be on sale again in a couple days. Highly recommend it if you're playing sorc

Good times last night in Imperial City, ganking scrubs.


Anyway since the One Tamriel update is rumored to hit PTS this week or next week, I'll be starting on a new thread draft for the update, with a new thread possibly coming mid-September.

what's the grind to 50 like on PC? I did it on ps4 recently so I'm not sure if I want to jump right into it again if it's much the same

You don't have to grind. I reached Lvl 50 with good questing. You can hit up Cyrodiil every so often for daily quests.

It's p fast. I did my khajiit in about a week of half casual half serious grinding with ESO+, XP Scrolls, and full blue Training gear (purple training weapons). Though the CP helps.

It's the skyshards and lore books that are a bitch.

Magicka DKs could be in a better spot, but DKs are still pretty good. It's just that templars and nightblades are a lot easier to pick up.

Doubly so with the universal level scaling thing upcoming, since that makes actually gaining levels kinda irrelevant except for unlocking more stuff.

e: boooo, i'm 21 days from 8 trait armor, you can take a break in 21 days

the undaunted mag taunt uses the same animation as "/spit"

what i'm saying is, if you're a mag toon you spit on mobs to get aggro

It's close. You actually send a bolt of pure anger from your eyes and taunt them. Pretty badass.

After CP10, what are the next tiers of armor? I just hit CP60 and I'm trying to figure out if I should upgrade ASAP.

I would, yeah. I'll make you a set when I get on later. Or at the least weapons. Maybe do armor again at cp100.

Synthwave Crusader

The general rule of thumb for armor upgrades post-50 is:

-CP10/VR1
-CP50/VR5
-CP100/VR12
-CP140/VR14

After you hit CR160, you'll want to get weapons ASAP. Legendary level C160 weapons add about 200 more weapon/spell damage and are the only things you really need to start out at max level. After that it's just a matter of running PvE or PvP content to get gear drops (especially jewelry) or farming hundreds of materials for a full C160 set of armor. I tend to do both.
