I'm not being mean here, but is it possible to tell us exactly what you don't like about battle levelling without the big blob of text? I'm not really understanding what you're trying to say.
Are you saying your stats were better when battle levelled than they are now?

yeah man. I like my stats with my nightblade when I didn't reach V14 simply because of battle leveling.I was really excited to reach max level. But when I lost all the buffs because of reaching V14, I didn't wanna play my nightblade anymore. Now with my V6 sorc and with all this buffs, I am not in a hurry to reach V14. I would rather stay below v14 for a long time. It's like your stats are well balanced if you are below V14.

New gear will make the difference.
You will hit way harder and have a better sustain than with battle leveled stats.

I have a vet 3 sorc and turn battling off right now becuase sure the hp is great but it lowers my 35k Magicka to 20k so I hit like a wet noodle. Now the new battle Lvling in the upcoming update is very good. If you set up your build right you can have pretty much the same stats as your build for vet15. So being able to be viable in pvp without grinding to vet15 is kinda nice.

one thing you need to understand is that even though you are battle leveled your spell dmg and wepon dmg are capped,
also your regens are what they are,

So in effect you actually do really crappy damage but have a huge pool of health, and magicka or stamina....
Stamina and magicka are also buffed so when you lose battle leveling you lose which ever attribute you have no/little points into.

I battle level up to vr10 and then go the full monty,
I hate the fact that i cannot up my spell dmg/weapon dmg beyond a point.

Luckily it is something that's adressed with the upcoming DLC.
I prefer stats are increased by percentage, not by flat numbers. Regens, and weap/ spell dmg included.

A friend of mine was running his sorc dps, around vr 13. Where spell dmg, crit regens were not far away from a fully geared vr14s. Once he hit the vr14, the battle levelling was removed and he became major squishiness. Below that level he could do serious damage, and survive at the same time, due to well built character. Maybe he could reached once again heroic numbers did he reach vr16, but he simply switched characters, as he had no patience stumbling through the battlefield like a toddler, with the unbuffed crippled stat till he could acquire mats and tv stones for the epic gear.

Vr11 Nightblade DPS friend of mine weap dmg and crit is nearing the wep dmg of vet14 dps. (something like 2800ish weap dmg or so), but his abilities are like 10k higher. 38k HP (not with food buff, but with regen one!). This compared to my 27k HP Vr16 tank seems a bit high.
I am aware that his protection is likely lower , not only because of the medium armor, but also vr11 gear. What's the armor difference between vr11 and vr 14 gear? A couple hundred points? Like a few percent extra damage redux?

That near 10k extra point in stats matters.



This said, I am not really bothered by it. Just giggle every time when I see the undestructable NB friend of mine marching into battle like a boss, while under the same pressure tankier builds of vr16s are ground. (could be the lack of mobility? dunno)
