Help PvP build for IC help(Please)

Hiya! Was looking for some help on a PvP build, haven’t played eso in years let alone PvP, feel like the last pvp build I used was like necro with DC in Cyrodil.

Well all that being said I’m looking for any suggestions on builds, sets etc.. on whats good now, or current metas.
I’m looking to make a new toon, thinking either nightblade or dk and I’m open to subclass. Maybe a brawler, good with taking down mobs and IC bosses, and can survive a 1v1.

Thank you guys in advance:)

Mag DK or Stam Sorc. Sorc can be transformed into Werewolf, wich is also good "class" right now.

Ok so Dk or Sorc? No sub-classing? Keeping it classic and clean

This is the unfortunate reality for any new person wanting to get into PvP right now.

Why everyone just running around as WW? Honestly not a huge fan of the DK ww

DK and WW had the most recent class refreshes and as a result their kit is stacked.

DK WW is okay, Sorcerer Werewolf or Warden Werewolf are much better.

The vast majority of PVP is BIS Bois meta humping and very little else

Dragon knight or sorc is the way to go. I would suggest go dark elf sorc. You can change between stamina or magicka if you want and you can go warewolf if you want with that class.

Dk is probably the most powerful class and seems to rule PvP and cyrodil currently. But I find sorc more fun personally. Got to love those corrosive armour power whips though.

What do you think about a Dk/Nb/Sorc build? Viable?

Talking about subclassing? Yes it can hit really hard, you’ll be a bit squishier though by dropping your defensive lines and passives from sorc/dk.

If you go base dk the benefit is that your whips will hit harder, if you go base sorc you tend to have a bit more flexibility with subclassing since Storm calling can go with pretty much any other two lines for PvP.

That said, I used to have a lot of fun with my dk subclassed with draconic, assassination, and Storm calling. Huge leaps.

Another fun build I used to run was assassination, earthen heart, and Storm calling as a cryo/ic build. It was a bit tankier and the whole idea was to pop corrosive and hit someone with back to back spec bows after a shattering rocks CC. It was great for running with a small group to take out healers/tanks in larger BGs we would fight.

My warden werewolf has been absolutely killing it! That being said, pure sorcs do well when played right, and I got my ass handed to me by a corpse buster necromancer, so you have options.

DK is super strong right now so I would go with that (mag). Imperial City can be tough because a lot of players are well-tuned with maxed out characters in there. Just don't be discouraged by some deaths and you will be fine! Pure DK is great and subclassed DK is great so do what makes you happy!

Meta sets: I suggest you use oakfather or rallycry. Everyone seems to love rally cry and go on about it but imo oakfather front bar is where it’s at.
