How about the possibilty that any of your examples won´t be patched? Oh yes the tears in the Forums will flow.

Wands retuned?

The people complaining have already gone away, as we can also see in the forums: since last year the "forum user frequency" went down significantly and many threads end in a dialogue between the same guys, who are also the most active forum users and who know each other. Some days, offer no new content at all, as the "high forum frequency" has ended.

Too many disparities have been left in the game too long: bows are hitting very hard since August last year. But what is most depressing, is that the developers seem to want that "fire and forget"-pvp, as they do practically nothing (or just very minor tweaking, like -5% bow damage) and show no understanding for people claiming that incoming damage is generally too high (not just that few skills), that they do not want to play a "shooter" game, where you die in seconds. These voices are not being heard and left over with: "l2P or search for a group/guild". Going for a defensive build IS NO option in many cases (except dodge-chance + block builds), as some classes are just designed to nullify any high armor value (and then hit you hard with their bow/melee-perma CC stuff).

Reintroducing camps in PvP would be one possible way to motivate casual gamers. This, just this alone, would favor opportunistic play and motivate casuals to join pvp regularly (just for fun) and many, who came back with 2.0, will soon leave again, while just reintroducing forward camps would have helped much more than pushing 2.0. Instead the devs do their "higher math"...

What did ZOS do effectively with the last patch?
"Come on guys: Damage still isn't high enough! We'll give you even more damage and to make sure you can kill even faster as you did before, we'll lower everybodies Health Points with this patch!"
As if nobody would notice this..

So, imo the next patch will do nothing. Maybe we will be given some health points more. :-)

I have no idea which game this forum is playing. Random zerg-o-rama from sejanus to arrius?
90% of the players at prefect or higher from my guild/friendlist are running magicka builds.
Granted, several stam builds (especially NBs) are also pretty good but this whole "vigor+nirnhoned+dodgerolling == unkillable"-thing isn't the ESO i know.

on topic:
I guess it's gonna be no different from the last patch.
during pts: sorcs will cry the most
on live: everyone not a sorc

Hardened Ward will be left alone, it already took a 15% nerf in its value in Cyrodiil.

Nerfing it anymore will ruin Sorc's for PVE, as there are many Sorc's who use it in pvpe to survive things such as Bogdon's Stomp. they won't touch it anymore, people are just going to have to deal with it.

As for the other issues, i'll be suprised if they are addressed for quite awhile. they hoenstly just need to battle level Cyrodiil or give us a campaign for vets with that option to cap stats, but thats a topic for another day

If there has to be a choice of one or the other then of course they will Nerf whatever hurts NB's most. That's just how ZoS works...shrug.

Most likely its going to be rolldodgers and nirn users. Primarily bc it´s both combined what´s making stamina builds superstrong atm. If they get hit from both sides it´s gonna be QQ time all over the forums.

Still don´t see much rebalancing about shields going to happen. Problem is healing ward not hardened ward for all classes.

Templars have learned, painfully so, that the quiet wheels get nerfed hardest and get no respect.

Buggy GCDs and good for nothing pole vaults need to go.

Oh god, no

Sorcs will cry the most - they always do and have the most to show for it. Somehow, I envy them.

Actually, it's nightblades&sorcerers doing most of the crying. They will start bawling as soon as we get the PTS patch notes. They will also hijack other classes QQ-threads and rage about their own predicaments. It's been like that since day one

Right now they're best suited for current burst/escape PvP, also the classes that benefited the most from 1.6 when it comes to Cyrodiil. Yet they can't stop crying(usually about each other). I expect this to be the case in 1.7 as well.

Templars suffers from emotional trauma caused by deceitful developers, most of them gave up and rolled into fetal position. More specifically, very few that's into competitive PvP plays templar main now. As long as templar PvE master race isn't touched, I'm not expecting much verbal violence.

Than there's the 1.5 god-mode DK, feeling entitled to face tank a raid and using that ridiculous lore book to support it. Majority seems to have re-rolled or quit. My friend list and guild rooters, supports that theory. That's why they're such good sports about suddenly being average.
