Please stop with the tanks in Imperial City

Alucardo

It's boring and no fun. If I can't kill you, and your damage is so low you can't even drop me below 98%, then what's the point? Just stop it.

Thank you in advance.

No fun for you but could be fun for them. Some people just enjoy being unkillable.

Different strokes for different folks.

It can take a while, but they wear down eventually. I'm not entirely sure how that's fun, but each to their own I guess. You contribute nothing to the gameplay. If you want to feel like an unkillable god, then go slay some overland mobs.

I wonder if these tanks are doing a PvE quest while in IC. I don't think it takes much damage output to do some of the IC dailies. Might be their way to get their event ticket without dying.

I think some of them are, and I don't mind those. I generally leave questers alone anyway. The ones I ran into today though were pvpers, probably looking for said questers to kill.

That's what happens when damage is high and every mag player is a bomber, people default to building wannabe tanks. Some people wear tank gear to avoid dying and you just get half-tanks that didn't want to commit.

How do you think werewolf tank meta became a thing? Wolves needed the tankiness cause regular dps builds would waste them and start making 45k health capped resistance builds.

I agree, there more like a pesky fly that keeps bothering you. I don't get it either but we're not here to determine what's fun or not fun for others.

I really wish I knew how they did that. Even in my tankiest gear I get instasnuffed.

This how I think it will play out. People generally don't like getting 1-shotted, which his happening a lot right now from the bombers. So the obvious response is to build more passive tankiness.

Well I am a Tank because I am not interested in fighting you, I am there to fight Bosses and get Tel Var stones.

That's fine. It's the ones who try to engage me that annoy me the most. Because if you have more than 40k health, I'm probably not even going to bother trying anyway :P

I'll stop bringing tanks into ESO when gankers stop attacking from invis, and then invis'ing away to prevent a counter attack.

As it is, troll tanking gankers and locking them up in CC so they can't get away until either I or my allies can kill them is my favorite thing to do in PVP.

I take my tank in there to do dailies. The idea is to survive the burst damage from gankers and then root them. With any luck someone will come along and kill them for me. I've just come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to be able to PvP against a professional DPS, so I'm just trying to last long enough that maybe some help will come along.

PvPers: If you're going into IC or Cyrodiil to try to do PvE content you'd better be prepared to be attacked. Gear up for PvP areas so you're harder to kill if you wanna do that stuff.

PvEers: *gear up to be harder to kill*

PvPers: Not like that.

Why do you even care?

Those people are like grass-eating herbivores in the pasture. Even if they bite, they have flat teeth. I simply ignore them and focus on kill squishier (and more dangerous) opponents and the bosses for drops.
