If you don't want to do THAT then you don't want to do 'serious high-end competitive gameplay.'
I do want to do that. That's why I'm switching characters and my main is now obsolete. 🙄
With your level of knowledge I'd be surprised if Cro was your first main?
I'm intimately familiar with all of the skill lines, sets, how damage is calculated, etc. I'm just not looking for build advice in this thread.
Here's a good example.
Hypothetically, let's say that DK was my main in PvP. I'm not playing that when Assassination, Animal Companions, Aedric Spear, Restoring Light, and Storm Calling exists. The DK passives are awful. Sure, Ardent Flame + Storm Calling w/ Pyrebrand hits hard but it still gets outclassed by the 5 skill lines I just mentioned. I'm still switching off DK because it's obsolete if I want to play at the highest level.
Hypothetically... have you tried building around Corrosive on DK this patch? Defensively I think it provides more value than ever in the current patch while still providing you a ton of offense (especially if subclassing bow procs, blastbones etc).
I think the one big issue one could point out is the DK class script being bad (which ZOS should definitely do something about btw) and thus any such build being better on another class base, but I think you can still justify running ulti gen on Healing Soul when building around Earthen Heart.

Really? I've probably had just as bad issues with WoW, but in Guild Wars 2 i barely had server issues AND they do maintenance without taking the servers offline!
Yeah this is your periodic reminder that Guild Wars 2 essentially NEVER goes offline. last time was in 2020 I *think*.
Re: Error 201 anyone?
Truly masterful work, ZOS. After an entire day of "maintenance," the game now does less than before. We used to at least be able to attempt a login. Now we just get stuck staring at a loading spinner like it’s a feature.
I assume the maintenance goal was to lower server load by preventing players from logging in entirely. If so, flawless execution. Keep up the good work.

Just to add one more thing : my Guar still needs his daily exercise in Cyrodiil, he's not happy either.

Re: Subclassing Quest Bugged?
As @girlpoison claims, that is indeed the fix here, however it's a tad less obvious on Console,
You have to pay attention to the button action prompts at the bottom of the screen. 'A' will switch between "Equip" and "Subclass" depending on the Skill Line. Only the ones that say Subclass will progress the Quest, but then as far as I can tell once you make the choice, the Subclassed selection is locked in. I have no desire to Subclass Warden on my Sorcerer, I just needed the Quest completed and I chose the first one I found that worked.
