Best builds in ESO pvp are total garbage

Is there anyone that thinks the current meta dk build is even the slightest bit entertaining? Players who run around like *** squirrels looking for trees to circle while mass healing and spamming wrecking blow until they knock you in the air and then hit you with 18k damage leaps? I've been killed by so many "invisible" dragon leaps lately it makes me think animation cancel is the only way to play. Is this really the way this game is going to keep going? If its not this build its gonna be some other build pretty much based on the same thing...run, hide, heal, try and burst kill someone with multiple shots but only show animations for one ability. How can there be any skill if all a player has to do is dodge roll all day and press macro keys? I have an idea...If I cancel an ability with blocks or light attacks or another ability...it didn't actually happen. It's absolutely ridiculous to keep going around pretending that animation cancelling an ability is an intended mechanic. It's a broken mechanic that has been dodged and coded around for too long. It needs to go, no more 5 shot combos that only show or two attacks and no more "invisible" ultimates. I'm sick of fighting players who do nothing but run and keep there back to me and stick that stupid sword in the air and get all there health back. I could list about 50 broken mechanics in this game but I'll just leave it at that. I honestly don't think there is any skill at all in the current meta builds. After almost 2 years of this game I've decided its probably gonna keep going in the same direction, but I figured I'd share my thoughts before I bailed.

    I feel your frustration, I think everyone experiences this who frequently fights in Cyrodiil.

    Luckily the CP system is being revamped, this is one of the reasons why some abilities deal so much dmg.

    The next update is coming in the first quarter of 2016 so hopefully there's progression in class balance.

    I expect as much success in this class balance attempt as the last three.

    Invisible Leap... perfect example of someone not knowing what they are talking about, but complaining nonetheless.

    Don't get your hopes up man, every big update brings more bugs and imbalances than fixes and since ZOS haven't heard about hotfixes yet we have to put up with more and more of this BS the older the game gets. All they seem to care about is how to fill crownstore with purchaseable DLC's, costumes and mounts while PvP suffers from year old bugs and senseless mechanics that just keep piling up ...

    I'm sorry I'll dumb it down for all those players who don't understand. Use a wrecking blow and the moment it knocks them up you cast a dragon leap and hit block and cancel the animation. Full damage is dealt but no ability is seen to be cast. Honestly I'm just surprised you didnt know.
