Does anyone feel weaker?

bosmern_ESO · August 2014

I don't know if its just me, but before 1.3 I could take on a small group and live (easily take down someone in 1v1 and they were V12. I was V2-5 at the time). I could even fight a medium sized group, survive a good while and get back up from my team.

But now, post 1.3 it seems like I can't even 1v1 someone. If there is a group I should just consider myself dead. Does anyone else feel this way?

Note: this is not a rant, I will eventually adapt to the changes, just wanted to know if others are in the same boat.

There is a bug with with receiving bow attacks that apparently causes you to receive damage without it registering on your health bar. People appear to just, stop living, for no apparent reason. It happens all the time in PvP so it may be possible that it is happening in PvE too.

Are u 7 light. Weapons just got a huge buff, ya you are going to die easier with 900 armor. I noticed Im taking more damage but no problems 1v1 from the changes. It also depends on level to, I took on 6 (lower)last night but I was ganking their siege and they weren't paying close attention so I took them out 2-3 at a time; I would not try to kill 3 v12, they will certainly win unless they are terrible gamers.

I'm 7 Heavy (I used 7 light before 1.3, but with the heavy buff I went back to my roots) I've been experimenting with duels, bow, 2h, and sword and shield. I used to have 7 light and shield. But now that I have about 1.4k armor and upwards to 2.4k (using immovable).

Did you update your equipment post update? We had a ton of set bonus differences.

Yes, but It's only V8 gear (can't currently craft V9+)

u might feel weaker also, due to other have change their gear to even better then before, like I have I was strong before, now im just a beast

Cody · August 2014

I actually feel more powerful:) I still wont be killing anyone with a shield without some help, but I do feel a bit more powerful lately with my NB archer(despite the recent bow glitch, which I hope gets fixed ASAP) maybe its just because im getting better, idk.

I admit I'm not using the best of armor sets (I usually do crafted sets because I enjoy how I can decide what is what and its more personalized.) But I'm working towards getting end game PvP armor.

I feel weaker, it's sad. Now I have to put that ugly warlock robe to be competitive.

The bug you speak off in PVP is called. "omglag" where in i have fired 5 shots, u saw me fire once, and when your com catches up, you just fall dead.
There has been a serious drop in performance since the last patch. THATS what they need to work on.
