Long time ESO PvP'er here. You're still at very low MMR.(Match maker ranking) In higher MMR, you're in for a bad time. Everyone is almost unkillable. There's also no way to lower MMR, it only goes up. You're also in under 50 PvP. In max level PvP, you're going to find the most broken, unbalanced, glitchy matches and build exploits you'll experience in any game. You need to be using food at all times for stat increases, even in PvE, and potions are essential. Level up your alchemy, because there's a function that extends potion duration time. And use food, for goodness sake. Food gives extra resources, while drinks typically give you increased sustain. And you need to learn burst combos. PvE is about sustainable damage, while PvP is all about the burst combos.
@@irishsage2459 oh yeah. Can’t imagine playing ESO without food / pots in general. Lot of broken shit in above 50, devs don’t care about PvP so if you not using it you just get farmed by the ppl that do.
Pvp here seems very akin to gw2. They try to add some changes too it to make it more engaging but all it ends up being is the same players basically playing the same other players. It ends up being a bit mind numbing. I really appreciate your comment and advice!
You will learn very quickly that eso PvP, especially endgame PvP is a disgusting dishonest joke with tons of potential, unfortunately the devs dont care
Really been enjoying this ESO run. These vids actually got me back into ESO. Having set bonus armor with the Impenetrable trait is key in PVP. That's why people are doing more damage than you, most likely. Crit damage vs mitigated crit damage.
Hey thanks! I've been having a blast in the game. Going to prolly take a short break and test out lotro for a while before I continue on with the elsweyr story. Heard there are two whole additional parts to it!
@@CaffeinatedDad can't agree more with Tobias about the set bonuses. I'm willing to bet there's people here (like myself) that would be more than willing to craft sets to help out with pvp, training sets for faster leveling in pve. Also, highly recommend getting some sort of add on that allows you to save certain build setups so you don't have to drag and drop all the time for switching from pve to pvp and back. I use advanced UI
Let me sum up eso pvp for you. Lag. Input lag. Sometimes you'll go from 100 to 0 and look at your death recap and see all theae abilities that you never saw on your screen.
Gear, potions/food and skills. Folks have been saying it, yes, but gotta drive this one home, lol. You really need a tuned gear-set for BGs (and Cryo/IC too). You simply cannot go into BGs wearing the basic overland mixed sets that you use for delves, as an example. You really want to find a build guide that caters to your class and then play around with the various suggested sets to find the combination that best suits your needs and your playstyle. I personally find a fortified 5 piece of Fortified Brass from Clockwork City DLC to be a fantastic tank set for BGs, as all its set item bonuses are extra armor and health related. Food, it cannot be stressed enough that you really want a food/drink buff prior to starting PVP content. With the right passives in your provisioning skill line, you can get 4 drinks and food items for every one you craft. There is no need to not carry a stack of food/drink items that suit your needs (for you, something that gives you a good 5k extra health and maybe some stamina regen for sustain). Same for potions, use the Alchemy skill line to get the passive that gives you 4 potions for every 1 crafted and then look into making yourself a solid stack of Tri-Pots (water, columbine, mountain flower and bugloss) so you can quickly get burst on your resources (HP, Mag, Stam), plus some added regen for sustain. And finally, as others have mentioned throughout the comments, start stacking up your passives - do not ignore them as a skill point wasted. There are more skill points available in this game than you will ever use for a single build, so dont sit on them just because you dont want to run out. And I suppose as someone else mentioned... just because you may get a handle on things doing the above mentioned items, once you pass into CP levels of MMR (though CP is not used in BGs), it gets hellish if you go in underprepared - constantly get your gear updated even though its going to cost you resources, materials and trait items. You always want your weapons and armor to be as close to your current level as possible. Do not use level 10 armor when you are level 30, for an example. Go craft the set you are wearing, if craftable, or go run the zone that gives you the gear in drops, to refresh to your current level. Or... even better, start using your Transmutes in Clockwork City to reconstruct your gear items with the traits that you want, rather than hoping for them to drop in overland content. Guild traders are also an option, albiet a more expensive one. Still... keep your gear at your level, and you will do fine! And above all, do NOT be afraid to use your crafting quality items to improve your gear! Never go above Epic (purple) until you hit CP160 though - no point wasting gold quality items on gear you will just replace constantly. One thing I noticed in your death breakdown suggestions was that you didnt have a Mundus. Go get one that is applicable for tanking. Everyone else you are playing against definitely has one and you should too! Id suggest The Serpent for the added Stamina regen, and then make all of your 7 armor items use the Divines trait to make that mundus bonus even bigger! Finally... couldnt really tell from your short-from video here, but I would also suggest you learn and perfect the art of "light weaving". Ie: going after an enemy at 1/2 HP with a burst attack, an ultimate and a spammable. But, weaving a light attack in between each one. Burst, light, Ult, light, Spammable, light, Spammable, light, etc etc. Think of it like a heartbeat. Each step of your weave is one beat of the heart. You perfect that, you will be WAY above the curve and do some MASSIVE damage and get higher kill counts. Hope these tips help you! And note, all of this is just as applicable for overland and group content like dungeons, arenas and trials too, not just PVP.
For below 50 you can just use whatever you got when questing, as long as it's reasonably up to your current level. Going into 50+ BGs then you need a proper PvP build.
I'm glad you had fun in B.G.'s!! Food Buff's!! You can either key bind them or just use one before a PvP outing! If you can't make them yet, you can buy some pretty decent food in Cyro at the seige vendor. But DO hotkey your pots! You need them! The Tri-stat ones you get for logging in are good enough at low levels and overland.. You can buy those also or ask a friend to make some. The guys with the Green beams & Dorito's floating are Arcanists... Meta atm. Necro's are always a bit tanky, but their burst damage isn't the best right now. And that IS what you want in PvP, Burst damage. Most of my lowbie characters will wear dropped sets, with the exception of PvP characters, not only do I keep them current, but in good sets. It really is needed. Did you get a house ( free Inn Room ) yet? You can get the Armory Station free so that you can swap from a PvE setup to a PvP setup free. Anyway.. keep having fun!
this was fun to watch as someone who's been very into the pve side of eao for a while and has recently been getting into pvp. similar experiences but from somewhat different perspectives. i'm glad youtube decided to put this on my home page as a little tip: i didn't see you barswap here wven though you're at a level where you should be able to. you can equip a second weapon and set of skills on your back bar and swap between the two. i'm very much a pvp noob still but it seems in pvp fairly common for people to put buffs and defensive abilities on their backbar while the front bar is more focused on offense
U50 PVP is the funniest. You have a huge range from people who just started playing and are trying it out for the first time to veteran PVPers who are leveling a new character, wearing very decent crafted gear. People don't have all their skills leveled and level scaling messes with the stats, so it becomes quite random. Later on people have at least somewhat reasonable builds with fully leveled skills and all the passives. That does not take away much from the pace of things, but you definitely get rolled if you don't set up for it properly.
Team builds that are optimized are excellent, but require lots of time to master. Dungeons are fun. Use to do 4 vet dungons in challenge mode daily, though can be challenging with pugs.
@@CaffeinatedDad There is and its a lot of fun if you don't mind doing inventory constantly or don't mind paying the $120 annual inventory tax. I was good enough that I could make enough currency to buy dlcs. Just hated the time comittment, time needed to do inventory. Go in groups for dungeons as there are a lot of trolls if you make mistakes, or low dps which is expected starting out. ...or you can have fun calling the trolls out and making vids about it. lol
I remember once i turned lvl 15 i just went straight to BG's until lvl 50ish, all that matters is gear, meet someone nice get them to make you a couple sets, done. used lvl 15 gear until lvl 40 usually and was more often than not 15+ kills and less than 3 deaths. Sets i remember i think were Julianos, and a set with high crit,
just a quick tip, if you press Tab on your enemy it'll highlight and help you navigate it. I couldn't play without it once I found out, especially in PvP
Hahaha welcome to ESO! Low level BGs are a crap shoot 😂 - lots of genuine first timers and newcomers to the game but also veterans rolling a new character smurfing with crafted sets that newbies typically don’t have (most new players just go with random gear they picked up while questing). So don’t sweat it too much, just learn the mechanics and understand that the real BGs start after level 50, cp 160, when you start putting together coherent builds with coherent gear sets.
For the love of Akatosh, put one skill point in the Continuous Attack passive. No need for more than one unless you are in Cyrodiil. In PVE and PVP you need completely different builds. Have you gotten the free Armory from the Crown store already? It comes with 2 slots by default but you can buy more. You can save a PVE and a PVP build in it once you are CP160. Before that, you can use it to reset your character for free. Just load an empty slot. Of course you can save your build even before CP160 but there's very little point in it. I usually play PVE but in ESO I have tried PVP and actually liked Cyrodiil. Battlegrounds is ok, too, but I really like Cyrodiil. I only go to Imperial City during Mayhem to get my daily tickets. The different builds you can make work in Cyrodiil makes it very diverse. In Battlegrounds you need the broken tanky build with insane burst, same in Imperial City. But Cyrodiil gives you a bit more freedom with what works. Although, the current tank meta limits the sets people typically use to a handful of meta sets. But there's still space for those who like to try fun off-meta builds.
In eso you need to “weave” basic attacks (LMB) in between your abilities. It increases your damage, sustain, and ultimate generation by so much that it’s essentially not optional.
@ESO_PRIME 0 seconds ago Begginer pvp is so messy! Wait until you get to endgame pvp! It’s so much fun! Pvp end game has kept me around for a decade, 20k hours in! Still obsessed!! It’s a blast mastering every class 🔥
With pvp, as a newer player, you need to practice keeping your buffs up. Major and minor Resolve, and Major brutality and Sorcery. You want these up 100% of the time, you can practice by just keeping them up while running around open world.
Press "Q" to drink that potion.... So many times in the video where you're almost dead and your potion is just sitting there all filled and ready for you... USE IT!!
While a big part of it is learning how to play the game and how to build your character, ESO PvP balance is a mess. (Once you get to Lvl50CP160) If the No-Proc campaigns are still available in Cyrodiil and Imperial-City, try those.
I absolutely love PVP in ESO especially in battlegrounds but there's an extremely high skill ceiling for ESO pvp which can be extremely unpleasant for newer players. Keep in mind it's best to optimize your build for BGs if you're doing BGs. Same for cyro and IC. Best to run a defensive but also offensive set on back bar like essence thief or rally cry. Front bar can be whatever like sustain or burst. However the reason why someone can be super tanky then dish out so much power is probably Balorgh's as their monster set. Once they do an ult, you'll start to feel the pressure
Do you think your knowledge of GW2 PvP has helped ease you into ESO PvP? It does look like it has similar fast paced combat, but with better pvp features.
People are twinked out the gord in U50 pvp. He was probably in super powerful gear crafted by a max level character, with the best food, etc. Just get to 50/cp160 and make a bow nightblade with tarnished nightmare and a bunch of penetration like everyone else. Oh but since you're DK you're already the best PVP class so you'll just need a tanky build but I dunno search for something online.
Level doesn't actually matter when it comes to battlegrounds. Aside from not having access to all your skills in theory everyone should be at the same level of play. The problem is you have filthy Smurfs who want to pretend like they're really good at the game and so they craft very strong underleveled sets and make new characters so they can absolutely wash newer characters who lack experience on how to PVP properly. That's what that bash build you ran into was there's no way any new player would come up with something like that
So newbie helps, buy some food buff that battleground suppliers sells, trying to uses dungeon sets and overlands, sun set(stonesfall), plague doctor(deshaan). And try to focus youe burst damage.
There’s no way around getting a build, it’s not like Dark Souls where you always have the potential to win. ESO isn’t a game you can jump into, but getting to a playable PvP state is simple albeit deliberate
Under 50 BG's is where its all a relatively fair game still, once you get to CP battlegrounds you run into the true skill gap, you get floppy wet noodles and grand master vets who have perfected their builds.
Then you need a proper PvP build. The below 50 are great for getting into how PvP works though. I usually just run with stuff I found on the ground while questing when doing the below 50 and still not doing too badly.
Well from the first two minutes of the video you’re speced into direct damage on a Damage over time type of character. Not building into your strengths = you do no damage to other people Also there are people who harm “low level bgs” idk why but they will come in there will Goldened out gear, dominate the lobby and leave before the match ends
I absolutely loved the pvp in eso but once the servers went to shit, they'd promised to fix it for years and never did. Along with crap balancing and not listening to the players I quit
@@CaffeinatedDad if u don't like the mosh pit zergs in cyrodil, u can join smaller groups that focus on lesser objectives. U would also like the sewers, alot of fun. But doing that might not be fun without an endgame character. Use to love ganking with my stamina nightblade
Eso pvp has a very tremendous skill gap. Once you play for a while and move up in mmr, you'll reach a cross roads of sorts where you'll either be compelled to learn how to do what the other players are doing to you, or you will quit.
Generally there's three ways to build a character in ESO. If you want to be a tank, you go 100% on health and take abilities that get stronger with HP. For Physical DPS, 100% stamina. Magical DPS and Healer, 100% magicka. Mixed builds in the long term just can't keep up in PvE, let alone PVP. It's a big downside in what I consider to be an otherwise pretty good game for building your own playstyle. (Almost every class can be built to physical or magical play, although dragonknight and nightblade are more phys based and Sorcerer and Watden are usually better mag based.)
@@Tolly7249 I agree with you on everything excluding the tanking. Typically tanks will split their stats between all 3 to meet certain effective minimums to sustain in combat.. A majority will still go to health, but almost every build you want to meet at least 20k stam and close to 20k mag. You can get a lot of health from armor, CP, skills and food. You are mainly putting your points in to try to meet 38-40k health at which point it becomes more effective to dump into other attributes.
@@Robert-pt2jz Huh, that's really good to know, thanks! I ran Mag-DPS and/or Mag-Healer when I played so I never actually tried out a proper tank build.
As a 1vX player and piece of shit bow ganker.... builds matter and if you're not "in the know" of what's good youre mostly doomed to never win. Skill has no bearing other than if you're fighting a 1vX player most of the time tbh. Most eso players casually pvp and just run around as zerglings. Cyrodil is insane, battlegrounds are far more new player friendly.
ESO is an embarrasing bugfest that ZOS doesnt care to fix as long as you keep shoveling money at them. You cant even pvp in cyrodiil cause the lag spikes will eat your inputs. This game is barely more than the failure fallout 76 was, and by the same people. Don't waste your money on this horrible game guild wars is better
Literally someone says this about every game or weapon in any game. Creating a perfectly balanced experience is nearly non-existent in complex sandboxes which is why it experiences metas. The only way you get balance is if there is 1 class, 1 armor set and 1 weapon with 5 standardized skills and an ultimate.that everyone shares. Sounds a bit boring to me.
by unhinged you mean a hacked lagfest ... been playing since 2016 ...my advice, get out now before you get too invested ... that's how zenimax gets you !
Eso pvp is the most unhinged unbalanced mess I've played, as someone who plays games like modern yugioh and league of legends. AND. I. LOVE. IT.
It was wild but I really did have a great time!

You're still at very low MMR.(Match maker ranking) In higher MMR, you're in for a bad time. Everyone is almost unkillable.

MMR in below 50 doesn’t really matter because it’s so unstable. There will always be 1 or 2 ppl clubbing seals each game

I played PvP in a bunch of mmos. Wow eso ffxiv Albion NW GW2 warhammer online. ESO is at the top of my list for best PvP.
once you get to 50, the pvp gets even more insane, but don't let that scare you off, make a pvp build and enjoy it!
I wish gw2 had more pvp content. Seems so lacking for something so fun.
Potions and food buffs are an absolute must in ESO pvp
I mainly just do below 50 PVP. As long as you have a master crafter you can get by just by craft able sets and skill.
I just research 1 trait per gear and recon everything every 5 to 10 levels for free
That's a good tip. I should work on my crafting at some point

I absolutely love PVP in ESO especially in battlegrounds but there's an extremely high skill ceiling for ESO pvp which can be extremely unpleasant for newer players. Keep in mind it's best to optimize your build for BGs if you're doing BGs. Same for cyro and IC. Best to run a defensive but also offensive set on back bar like essence thief or rally cry. Front bar can be whatever like sustain or burst. However the reason why someone can be super tanky then dish out so much power is probably Balorgh's as their monster set. Once they do an ult, you'll start to feel the pressure
Do you think your knowledge of GW2 PvP has helped ease you into ESO PvP? It does look like it has similar fast paced combat, but with better pvp features.
People are twinked out the gord in U50 pvp. He was probably in super powerful gear crafted by a max level character, with the best food, etc. Just get to 50/cp160 and make a bow nightblade with tarnished nightmare and a bunch of penetration like everyone else. Oh but since you're DK you're already the best PVP class so you'll just need a tanky build but I dunno search for something online.
Level doesn't actually matter when it comes to battlegrounds. Aside from not having access to all your skills in theory everyone should be at the same level of play. The problem is you have filthy Smurfs who want to pretend like they're really good at the game and so they craft very strong underleveled sets and make new characters so they can absolutely wash newer characters who lack experience on how to PVP properly. That's what that bash build you ran into was there's no way any new player would come up with something like that
can you please get eso plus with this
Yes sir! Also thank you!
I love it when a community is supportive and willing to go put of their way to help others. Truly epic 😊
Great video ❤
Glad you liked it!! It was a blast to play!
@@CaffeinatedDad if you need any help on pcna, just let me know!
So newbie helps, buy some food buff that battleground suppliers sells, trying to uses dungeon sets and overlands, sun set(stonesfall), plague doctor(deshaan). And try to focus youe burst damage.
wecome to eso pvp
put down your armory in the free apartment and have a dedicated pvp set up to switch to
Beginner PvP is fun until you have to fight a guy that can't die from 4 of your allies damage while killing all of you alone :P
He he.. Yeah, those people do indeed exist... How they do it is a mystery.
@@newworldforward1842 After I made the PvP build I was able to kill 4 people once, but they *almost* got me :D
There’s no way around getting a build, it’s not like Dark Souls where you always have the potential to win. ESO isn’t a game you can jump into, but getting to a playable PvP state is simple albeit deliberate
Under 50 BG's is where its all a relatively fair game still, once you get to CP battlegrounds you run into the true skill gap, you get floppy wet noodles and grand master vets who have perfected their builds.
Then you need a proper PvP build. The below 50 are great for getting into how PvP works though. I usually just run with stuff I found on the ground while questing when doing the below 50 and still not doing too badly.
Well from the first two minutes of the video you’re speced into direct damage on a Damage over time type of character.
Not building into your strengths = you do no damage to other people
Also there are people who harm “low level bgs” idk why but they will come in there will Goldened out gear, dominate the lobby and leave before the match ends
I absolutely loved the pvp in eso but once the servers went to shit, they'd promised to fix it for years and never did. Along with crap balancing and not listening to the players I quit
Yeah I've seen some of the comments talking about how crazy the mmr is and the balance. I have had fun though
@@CaffeinatedDad if u don't like the mosh pit zergs in cyrodil, u can join smaller groups that focus on lesser objectives. U would also like the sewers, alot of fun. But doing that might not be fun without an endgame character. Use to love ganking with my stamina nightblade
Eso pvp has a very tremendous skill gap. Once you play for a while and move up in mmr, you'll reach a cross roads of sorts where you'll either be compelled to learn how to do what the other players are doing to you, or you will quit.
Generally there's three ways to build a character in ESO. If you want to be a tank, you go 100% on health and take abilities that get stronger with HP. For Physical DPS, 100% stamina. Magical DPS and Healer, 100% magicka. Mixed builds in the long term just can't keep up in PvE, let alone PVP. It's a big downside in what I consider to be an otherwise pretty good game for building your own playstyle. (Almost every class can be built to physical or magical play, although dragonknight and nightblade are more phys based and Sorcerer and Watden are usually better mag based.)
@@Tolly7249 I agree with you on everything excluding the tanking.
Typically tanks will split their stats between all 3 to meet certain effective minimums to sustain in combat..
A majority will still go to health, but almost every build you want to meet at least 20k stam and close to 20k mag. You can get a lot of health from armor, CP, skills and food. You are mainly putting your points in to try to meet 38-40k health at which point it becomes more effective to dump into other attributes.
@@Robert-pt2jz Huh, that's really good to know, thanks! I ran Mag-DPS and/or Mag-Healer when I played so I never actually tried out a proper tank build.
@@Robert-pt2jz Remember... CP doesnt count in BGs though, so that portion of your suggestion is moot.
Wait till u settle in get used to it ….Boom update and u gotta start from scratch 😂😂😂
I was in most of these battles, also seeing a few people repeatedly you weren't playing new players.
is it me? ive heard others in bgs mentions the red team... its orange ye?
It's a shock to new ppl lol. It's more about your build and skill lvl take your time research a decent build and u will be ok.
Anyone who thinks pvp is the most unbalanced mess they have ever played is a noob
I love eso ya it has its issues but its still a great game
Wait till you get over level 50….. 🙃
As a 1vX player and piece of shit bow ganker.... builds matter and if you're not "in the know" of what's good youre mostly doomed to never win. Skill has no bearing other than if you're fighting a 1vX player most of the time tbh. Most eso players casually pvp and just run around as zerglings. Cyrodil is insane, battlegrounds are far more new player friendly.
Also armor and crit resist are massive. No crit resist, you're begging to die
Oh and hmu if you want any pve or pvp tips. I'd be glad to teach yah on weekends/mondays
ESO is an embarrasing bugfest that ZOS doesnt care to fix as long as you keep shoveling money at them. You cant even pvp in cyrodiil cause the lag spikes will eat your inputs. This game is barely more than the failure fallout 76 was, and by the same people. Don't waste your money on this horrible game guild wars is better
Yep, that new class is Pay to Win.
Bro you are years! Too late lmao boy
If you get insta death it's because of macro slicers and third party tools users 🤪
TESO pvp is unbalanced crap.
Yeah I can see that in some regards. I had a blast though!
Literally someone says this about every game or weapon in any game.
Creating a perfectly balanced experience is nearly non-existent in complex sandboxes which is why it experiences metas.
The only way you get balance is if there is 1 class, 1 armor set and 1 weapon with 5 standardized skills and an ultimate.that everyone shares.
Sounds a bit boring to me.
I think ZOS wants it that way.
So many broken builds in eao pvp
by unhinged you mean a hacked lagfest ... been playing since 2016 ...my advice, get out now before you get too invested ... that's how zenimax gets you !
Just avoid Cyro and it's not so bad.
