With the release of Imperial City in Update 2.1 (or 7 as I call it,) I changed my Nightblade from a stamina build (which I was no longer enjoying,) to a magicka build. I am still constantly tweaking my build, but this is what it currently looks like. Please note, my Nightblade is a vampire. While you do not have to be one, I highly recommend it as my build relies on fast movement speed in stealth. This build is primarily aimed at those playing in Imperial City and Cyrodiil. To see how I play my NB (in a group,) check out the following video: Continue reading →
So, the Imperial City DLC has been released on the PTS for PC/Mac users to test out. I’ve been playing it for a few hours since it became available on July 28th, and I have been having a blast. I didn’t think I would love the PVP mixed with PVE as much as I do, because I am mainly a PVPer. The PVE bosses as well as regular mobs that you find in the DLC are actually quite challenging though, so it makes things VERY exciting, especially when you have the risk of being jumped by enemy players! I recorded some random footage while playing, and currently have three videos up on my YouTube channel. These are the videos:
The first video has commentary, and the second and third are strictly game play. I am also mostly soloing in these videos, or following random other friendly players. I am in the process up uploading a random assortment of clips I recorded while grouping with friends in the Imperial City, it should be available later today on my YouTube channel, and will be posted here tonight or early tomorrow!
Overall, I am having a blast with this update, even with the rather frequent crashes I am getting. But hey, it’s the PTS, I’m not surprised that it is crashing. I love the challenge that Imperial City offers (and I haven’t tried out all the new things yet, such as the dungeons.) Many people, myself included, say that ESO’s PVE is far too easy, and this DLC brings a fresh challenge. The new TTK being longer due to reduced damage in PVP is also a welcome change, as one-shotting enemy players is pretty much a thing of the past with this update.
I’m going to do more testing later today on the PTS, so expect more updates and thoughts from me.
So, have you tried out the PTS? What are your thoughts on it? Let me know! 😀
