I'm not even talking about cloak at the moment...
However, the ones that have been provided regarding cloak I refuse to acknowledge because they involve buying items or grinding alliance / mage rank.
AoE is a valid counter. Class skills are valid counters. Not arguing that point.

Yeah okay, nice avatar by the way...
I'm done. Enjoy your 30k+ burst damage I guess.
This has been a giant waste of everyone's time.

Mhm.
In that screen I was blocking with boneshield up as well, still died.
With food, mind you. I never enter cyrodiil without it.Dude, chill out. Those are the suggestions on your death recap. A little humor in the context of mindless entertainment that has zero bearing on your life, family, or the world around us, ok?
As far as counters, people have already told you the basic ones in this thread. Stop taking everything so seriously and try them.
[...]You don't want to use food buffs, potions, or level up your character? Don't whine about being killed by someone who took the time to build a better character and play better.Why are you talking about unlocking Alliance Rank abilities? Why are you saying no other class requires potions and skills deep into the alliance tree to counter? Where did I say anything like this? Why are you whining? Read what I wrote and calm yourself.
Yea okay.

While I don't particularly like the idea of taking it away from NBs, I also don't like the idea of one class having a guaranteed CC ability every 4 seconds that is spammable on a magicka build, and totally viable on a stamina build too.
The only unavoidable CCs in this game should be soft CCs. Hard CCs that cannot be avoided are over the top. Give them to all classes and problem solved. But then why have other CC abilities?
Just imagine encase instead of rooting you, stunning you for 4 seconds every time it hits you and then slowing you down after that too. Maybe even debuff your damage too? Don't defend the class just because you're playing it, then everyone will do the same and we'll get nowhere.
I don't think too much about class balance at the moment (never did really as I always played mine totally careless) but right now two skills are out of control in my opinion, and that's petrify from Dks and fear from NBs. This is just what I think is totally strong atm, I'm not saying other things aren't.

An instant cast AoE CC that chugs down the stamina of enemies like butter, and this *single* ability is having such a huge impact on ALL PvP on it's own. No other ability comes close in 1.6 (talons is useless now thanks to cheap dodge spam)

Deal, I give you my hardened ward and you can have my curse on top of it for your fear. The qq wouldnt come from my side, trust me!
Now I just need a dk who wants to trade scales!

Wont need to. I hear they have these things call cc immune pots. What do they give .. 6 seconds of cc immunity ?
More than enough time to knock your dear corpse into the grave, now that hardened ward isn't there to keep you safe and cozy.

Fear causes me no issues in PvP.
On a 7/7 Light Armour Magicka build, manage my resource pools intelligently enough to not get destroyed by a simple CC.
A Nightblade that spams fear against me uses it to zero effect due to two reasons:
My build does not rely on permablocking, so having block broken is of no concern.
My build has fast enough Stamina Regen that my bar is full again after the CC Immunity wears off after breaking Fear, so fear is nothing more than a minor nuisance.
Suppose if my characters were built to be weak to Fear that Fear might seem overpowered.
At present it is nothing more than a chump CC to me, and a Nightblade spamming it on me is draining his or her own Magicka pool instead of my Stamina pool.

But Fear is still a pain in the ass. Sorry, but it is. It's not perfectly balanced how one skill always forces 3+ players to cc break every 7-8 seconds. Also amuses me when sorcerers have "no problems" with it, because they dont block like scrubs
Like stamina management is some sort of major achievement when you have Bolt Escape, magicka speed boost and a 65% class shield. Go play a sad *** with zero mobility, than come back and talk about how cc breaking every 7-8 seconds is easy-mode.
I cannot even bother to read most of these posts... What about petrify(DK)

Funny there is this skill that everyone has access to that I use to stop nb's fearing me. Immovable job done. Take the first fear then count. 6 seconds
Only time I have ever died to fear is when pvxing and lagging.
This is a classy sorc whine thread distracting from the obvious. THERE ARE 2 THINGS WRONG WITH THIS PATCH> ROLL DODGING AND SORCS. The reason is stupid recovery rates caused by removal of caps and drinks.
Why are you moaning about it then lol
