I have no stamina and can walk out of all most any siege (have to dodge RARELY), if I'm on seige I press Alt and w s a or d.......
All I'm hearing is QQ I am a vamp and fire burns me and I can't w s a d....... Pfft. The devs wanted siege to one shot 7/7 light armor and I LOVE IT. I have less than 9k Stan 19khp and wear full 7/7 light..... With all the QQ on the forums about anything that requires even the most basic fundamental skill/game play mechanic, I weap for the future of ESO if the devs give into to these cries for nerf
So... after reading about all of this I went to Cyro for the 1st time in a week...
I was thinking of changing my gear setup for PvP anyway, so figured this would be a good opportunity to see how 5 heavy felt (Rather then 5 light... I'm a magicka Sorc).
And you know what... its fine.
Really.
In fact I think the changes to siege damage are excellent! I wasn't dieing to them at all... walk out of the stupid when you see the red telegraph... didn't even have to dodgeroll. With a bit of heavy armor if I was clipped by any of it then I didn't die.
But a lot of people were dropping like flies all around to it as they were just standing in the stupid, not getting out of the way, and then just standing there when they did get hit... no heals, no purges.
It made defending keeps more interesting & as if you had a chance, rather than waiting for the fait acompli of a wall breach. It also made assaulting keeps more interesting than just standing there spamming ballista bolts not having to worry about getting hit.
Those who are dieing will adapt. Change gear, learn to roll, learn to watch for the red.
But if you are hit with a great big flaming balista bolt then it SHOULD hurt! Its given a little extra dimension to siege warfare which many people always complained was quite dull & two dimensional because of the lack of damage.
I like it. In fact I would go as far as to say its one of my favorite changes in PvP so far.
