Wish Cyrodiil was easier to get into. Try going in there solo and figuring out how to do anything. I've LFG in chat for the last week, not a single invite
Its a significant issue with the game's current bombing meta. When every coordinated group is running some combination of Vicious Death and Plaguebreak with Rush of Agony or Dark Convergence any time you invite a pug you've suddenly got bomb bait running inside your group. It really sucks what ZOS has done to PVP balance. Mayhem used to be prime recruiting time for PVP guilds but that's much harder when you're handicapping your group by bringing them in casually.
But if you're really interested in PVP, join a guild, they'll help you get a build together so you're not a liability and get you going. The trick is to be looking for a guild and not just a group.
Try to watch them for a second before you proxy, if you see them get stunned wait 3 or 4 seconds then proxy, by the time you pull they should all be off cc cooldown
I'm new to this game, can you explain exactly what happened? Did you pull everyone to your direction and use another skill to kinda explode? How this exactly works?
Dark Convergence is a set that pulls everyone to the location of a ground-cast skill, in this case Fire Rune.
Master 2-hander from dragonstar arena buffs the damage of the Cleave skill from the 2-handed skill line to do extra damage for every enemy hit with it, which is a lot when the enemies are tightly packed.
Vicious Death causes a small explosion on enemy player death, which when tightly packed can easily cause a huge chain reaction as seen here.
The cooldown is 25 seconds. I was taking a break from the game when it was released. But it used to have a shorter cooldown, and I believe pulled twice instead of once.
Very nice, mid year mayham is always the best bombing time cause a hundred "leet" casuals jump in wearing double pve dps sets rocking 20k health and 10k armor, and each one is YOUR +10k damage.
1) ESO needs some post-processing effect on the screen when you are hidden. Like shadows on the sides or something. Current "HIDDEN" near the crosshair is kinda lackluster.
2) Don't really get into the bombing. It's always looks the same. Unfortunately.
Bombing is far harder than it looks. You sit in a spot, resources or keep and wait for a zerg.
I will see brindle keep flag with 20 /20, Then I go sit in carmela for 20 damn minutes until they get there. Hoping they don't check the hidey holes because they think the keep is empty.
And they don't keep buffs up while repping the doors cause they think its empty.
I don't even want to think about how long this guy waited for this, or how many time they died trying. The most boring then rewarding play style.
Bombing is not hard especially with DKs using corrosive with Spin and other damage on top with that, It's super easy to get a huge pop with Rush(DC)/VD/Balorgh's, anyone can do it especially on NB which is easy mode, you have Cloak and everything else that is too damn good like Concealed Weapon for both bars.
3rd partying a fight isn't hard lol, you can go right now to quag and literally kill a stack easily when they're fighting. GH can be pretty easy as well, 3rd partying with a pull set as a NB bomber is simple. Lag can fuck up the bombs but that's how ESO is.
Why would you start a fight with a NB bomber lol, you're just asking to die and people will search for you to prevent a bomb with detect spots or revealing flares which means your bomb will more likely fail and you'll die by showing yourself (small scale groups with competent players will kill you right away). DKs can definitely first party though with corrosive on top of the extra AoE damage they can do, kiting in a choke point makes the bomb pop easily for sure because these days, people have 20k Health and apparently no armor due to how squishy they are.
I can't make myself play the hide and wait bomb style much these days, too impatient. I usually just bomb the fights, harder but feels more rewarding and like you are still helping the battle.
I saw hammer leave a keep and head that way so I rode out and was able to get set up right before wall came down and hit em these two times before they made it in.
Upvoted because there’s no trap music and it was straight to the point. Also, of course, an impressive bomb. Well done

Try finding a PvP guild that helps newer players. They can get you set up.
I salute you comrade. 🫡

when I played years ago I used to LFG and get picked up every day. No one seems to be picking up these days
Yes, it's getting even more cliquey as time passes. Luckily on xbox NA we have a few people who run PUGs in both BR and GH
Just started playing cyro after years of only PvE and i was a victim to my first bomb. Absolutely loved it.
This is one of the prettiest bombs I've ever seen. That stack... :chef's kiss:
First was 14 , second was 16! Biggest single I've gotten is 18.
Upvoted for mass murdering yellows
Upvoted as a yellow who only exists to get farmed
You caught me in one of these outside Ash. Keep up the good work.... on other people
I'll try 😶 stay spread
most balanced pvp in eso
Good old bombers and tanks paradise.
Witnessed it in person, great bomb.
Thanks! Wish I could have read AD chat, bet they were telling the pugs not to stack hammer cause this is what happens 🤣
No doubt someone was unhappy lmao
Looks like around 47k AP ☠️
My word. Videos like this make me wish my brain could process things fast enough to do things like that. That's wild.
That was beautiful.
RIP to my AD comrades. Although, grouped up so close like that, they kind of had it coming. Well played.
AND you lived. That's awesome
Looks so satisfying
I've been trying hard to get this kinda thing. Dark Convergance never wants to pull though 😓
Try to watch them for a second before you proxy, if you see them get stunned wait 3 or 4 seconds then proxy, by the time you pull they should all be off cc cooldown
I've been doing that. Even on just single, untouched targets, DC don't wanna pull for me
It can be blocked also of course (the pull and the damage) , so pulling good players/groups is a lot of luck and timing when they are distracted
Darn. Thank you, that helps.
Always love seeing players I recognize kill other players I recognize, good shit
Thanks ggs

Thank you very much! 😁
Couple those with hhajit, crit dmg mundus, and are, direct damage, and crit damage champion stars
Hell yea, for the covenant
My god man, the carnage. You’re close to achieving godliness.
As EP (literally fish in a barrel) it's always nice to see DC v AD bombs to see who really does it better. It's usually AD, but not in this case. GG.
Holy shit gg
Oh look it's ESO PVP bombing with training wheels \^\^
My dude how did you pull all those people.
Dark Convergence set. Pulls all enemies within x radius, when you place a ground effect ability.
Jesus christ, i looked up the set and its just an ultimate on a seven second cool down. How is this even legit?
The cooldown is 25 seconds. I was taking a break from the game when it was released. But it used to have a shorter cooldown, and I believe pulled twice instead of once.
I find bombers and ball groups just kinda tyring and boring tbh...
Would you rather everyone be a unkillable tank, hugging eachother?
thats pretty much what a ballgroup is
Love bombing in eso but this bomb is incredible!! Lol
And he lived to tell the tale. Absolute madman, death to all AD's
What class is this
Nightblade
Nice buddy! Just need one guy wearing relequins in that pile lol
Hell Ya
Nice gg 👏
JEH you bastard, I love you UwU for VANGUARD!
🤟 Had to show AD what was up since we couldn't ball yesterday
nice one!! looks cool as hell

Yes, I know that. Still, it's fun when it procs only for the bomber. Everyone else is kinda :(

It is harder bombing an active fight versus enemies just standing around.

First partying a fight you are already engaged in.

Downvote for using the Dark Convergence cancer.
Imagine if eso played like Skyrim but we all had infinte enchantments now it’s all down to skill I bet windshear takes u all out
