I don't have a picture cause he was showing me in-game. Said it's one of the Nord light styles (possibly 4?).

And yeah we are friends for a reason. :) We have a small group that's been playing various games together for about 6 years.

Would a StamNB build be more viable on a Wood Elf than a regular MagNB build? Because of racial Stamina stuff.

They're both viable, but if you want to optimize then yes, Wood Elf is far more suited to Stamina builds than Magicka ones. They also get poison and fall damage resistance, and can eat anyone meats, so they're an excellent choice of race.

I'm going to dip my toe into Stamina PVP, and have begun with a bit of psychological warfare, with an Argonian StamDK named No-AP-Value.

Do you think it'll help? :ohdear:

I meant to ask too if it was PvP viable. PvP is what I'm going to be focusing on later on.

Wood Elf is BiS for PVP stamblade. Don't listen to whatever dumb poo poo anyone else tells you. When you're rocking 2800 stam regen and still hit 5k wep dam you'll know what's up.

Tha's running Bone Pirate/Ravager/Bloodspawn when Ravager and your Berserker enchant are procced. Non-procced weapon damage is like 3k on front bar. But it's easy to have that kinda damage up like 60% of the time in a fight with Infused Berserker offhand. Also Continuous Attack buff. Helps both the damage and the regen.

My entirely superficial thoughts on current PVP:

AVA is pretty fun when it's 2 or 3 groups per side in a fight or siege. Any more than that and it just becomes dumb and bad.
Sloads is just the worst thing, especially in the under-50 campaign where hardly anyone has a cleanse.
Battlegrounds is not great, the modes outside of deathmatch are opaque and poorly done, but it is a nice break from AVA as long as you're not constantly up against preformed groups.
I'm pretty awful at melee in PVP atm, but healing and other REMF functions are pretty fun and not as entirely embarrassing to engage in.
Also I love the fact that the mailed rewards boxes scale to the character opening them :dance:

Edit: also gently caress Rune Cages.

Decided to finally give Vet Maelstrom Arena a shot despite not even looking at Maelstrom builds. I, uh, can't say I recommend doing that. Made it as far as stage 5 before throwing in the towel, though.

I'm a filthy casual pve player and thought this midyear mayhem event is a good opportunity to finally get into pvp and get vigor on my stamsorc. I joined bgs and gave up after a few deaths because I was ashamed of my group mates for dying as soon as someone looked on me and not being able to do much damage either. :sigh: Then I got into Cyrodiil and it seemed empty...How do I find the fighting groups, the sieges, is there a way to tell from the map where the heated battles ar at?

I wish I could help you out, but I don't know any groups to follow for easy capture AP on EU server :(

My all purpose trick for easy capture AP: find PVP streamers to watch on Twitch on second monitor/computer/phone/tablet, follow their movement in Cyro.

There”s a training mission of sorts at level 10. Should be visible as soon as you enter Cyrodiil.

Noob guide to cyrodiil:

As soon as you load in, type lfg in zone chat. Join a group. Any group.
Enjoy 5 minutes (at best) of loading screens.
Enjoy 10 minutes of riding your horse as fast as you fuckin can.
Enjoy 5 seconds of actual fighting before you get face-wrecked by a 12 year old who will tell you repeatedly to 'git gud' (note: the 12 year old might actually be pushing 40)

If the stars align, and you can hang with your group for awhile, taking keeps will get you pretty good AP
