The Elder Scrolls Online

I don't understand alliance war.
My build is perfectly fine. I'm playing in below level 50. But I still get 1 or 2-shotted by other players while I do literally no damage while using all my abilities.

You should go more into detail about your build/gear

In the end, MMORPGS really don't rely on skill. It's all about your skills, passives, and gear. Of course, skill does play a part, but compared to stats, skill is nothing.

In terms of PVP. Pretty much any PVE dungeon requires skill though.

you need armor with Impen TRAIT x 7pc. Everyone in PvP builds to deal lots of CRIT, you need to resist it= Impenetrable trait.

It's not just crit. Under 50 pvp is full of smurfs. Those aren't actually low level players, they're high level players using a low level avatar. As a result, they have min-maxed and twinked out perfect legendary gear sets. They have just enough xp to unlock the skills they need and enough low level bonus to be slightly awesome. On top of that, they have probably unlocked pvp skills like Vigor or Purge that make killing them tricky while abusing strong armor sets like Seventh Legion that have no cooldown heal procs on damage. So the more people attacking them, the more survival they have because not everyone is doing max damage. Stacking Penetration also helps to ignore your armor and some skills like Berserker Strike ignore it 100%. Attacking from stealth gets a large bonus to damage too and if they use something Lethal Arrow it will curve into the air and hit delayed at the same time as their second or third skill, making the burst seem faster. Other players typically use lots of heavy armor or Major Ward builds to stack resists because survival is near impossible in medium armor alone unless it's the defense boosting ones. On top of that, there are pots that make you CC immune for like 16 seconds. Basically, there's a lot of things pros are doing that make them unkillable while it sounds like you are doing none of those things and dying to the usual combo spam.

First of all, your build is not perfectly fine (c) Captain Obvious.
Second, pvp below 50 lvl is very unballanced.
Third, BGs and Cyrodiil below 50 lvl full of skilled and expirienced players with low lvl toons, that will kill you even if they be naked (but they not be naked, unlike you they have a legendary gear).

So grow up, gain 160cp, get good gear and then start to think about serious PvP.

You should know that PvE Builds are very different from PvP builds, so skills that work on well on mobs won't always work on players.

If I went into PVP i would probably be one shotted by a mage easy when I see how powerful some players are as mages :D That's one thing I need to work on as a tank.

the game isn' helping at all players to learn PVP. To be competitive in PVP you have to be a no-lifer elitist. PVP is the most difficult and unblanaced thing in this game.

Does feel a lot like that. Me and my friends often get wiped by level 20s and we're all levl 35 - 40. We stick together as a party of 4 but will still get wiped by a level 20 solo player. I don't understand lmfao.

You would if you bothered to learn. People asked for your build because every class plays differently and uses different counters. Understanding can only be achieved through obtaining knowledge and those players are abusing your lack of it.

You're the kind of person who needs to be removed from these forums. Look at my hours played and maybe you would understand that I have learned how the game works. I play the game because I enjoy it. I've played more than a hundred hours of AW and I don't fully understand it. Some games and MMOs can take thousands of hours to master. And now you're telling me I need to "learn to play" after admitting the game is full of exploits. okay.

No, you haven't, and I never "admitted this game is full of exploits". This game is full of options and numbers and some players actually understand how to maximize them. Nor did I ever say "learn to play" or attempt to address you in a derogatory manner, yet you immediately jump on that assumption because your pride won't allow for any other option. You have come to these forums and proclaimed that you were killed by an unknown person using an unknown build and that it wasn't your own build at fault, as it's "perfectly fine", and when asked for what you're using to attempt to troubleshoot the issue and actually provide the assistance you need in "understanding alliance war" you have yet to summon a shred of evidence that can be worked with to assist you in your quest for understanding.

So I'm done being nice. Now you get to be a noob while people do this to you.
