It does if you actually, you know... block attacks with it.

False, you can't mitigate damage forever, especially soloing against veteran mobs. Eventually you need to kill them before they kill you, which 1H/Shield is now incapable of doing.Nightspectre wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »It blocks more, but it doesn't block enough to make the 1H/Shield line viable for solo PvE.jkbennettb14a_ESO wrote: »Maverick827 wrote: »Bash costs stamina, and having a shield doesn't really add as much defense as you think.glitchmaster999 wrote: »80 damage is about the same as a single dual weild attack, sword and board should have low dps as trade off for its tankyness.

False, if this is your experience then either you are too low lvl to have enough points in Damage Mitigation passives for 1h or 2 you have no points in the passives that decrease stamina costs for blocking...which allows you to block more....which, u know...mitigates....

for the last 2 hours i seem to be doing just fine on my Vet DK as 1H Sheild, sure i got smacked hard earlier, but then i went and repaired my armor since it was over 50% damaged. I also Block a good portion of the time since GDB helps manage stam.Maverick827 wrote: »False, you can't mitigate damage forever, especially soloing against veteran mobs.

What I see here is what I predicted in another thread last night.
ZoS would fix a broken mechanic, and everybody abusing it would cry about how they deserve a free respec.
No.

2) This has nothing to do with my claim of your biased views
3) Pointing out conflicting interests, biasedness, hypocrisy, credibility, etc. is not an ad hominem argument. You know the Latin buzzword, but you don't know what it means. You'll be taken more seriously when you stop trying to use an argument from authority
If you want this game to be balanced for all classes, you have a lousy way of showing it. There are many people, not just me (apparently your mortal enemy) who are now lamenting that their characters are incapable of even doing solo content, unable to respec due to the cost, and your response is essentially "tough luck, learn to play."
Not everyone is out to threaten all of your many valuable e-accomplishments in PvP; you don't always need to be so defensive. Some of us just want to play the game, and now we can't. You're constantly try to pass yourself off as some kind of understanding, unbiased observer, yet every other post you make is aggressive with an obvious, self-serving agenda.
Don't *** in my bowl and tell me it's chocolate.

Shields are supposed to be defensive. They shouldn't give you better DPS than Dual Wield and Two Handed.
Perhaps you don't know the history of the shield... Also, haven't you seen the pointy bones sticking out of some of the motif designs? Maybe I want to beat them with that.
My brother did recreational stuff at medieval fairs:'(
The problems people are having solo'ing vet content seem widespread. I'm not sure myself, but there could have been a stealth buff to the mobs. Don't forget, their stated philosophy is that Vet Content should be balanced for two players in the over world.

This change was not intended, though some VR content and monsters are indeed more difficult after yesterday’s patch. We are working on a fix now to revert the difficulty back to what you were familiar with prior to patch 1.1.2, and plan to have this rolled out in the next 24 hours. Thanks so much for your patience!

Try hitting things with a weapon instead of a board.
