It's time to address HOT stacking in pvp

Ahk1lleez · March 2021

Specific HOT skills should not be allowed to stack on themselves. The CP changes and limiting of sets has done a lot of good for combat in pvp. This is one of the few things left that need to be addressed.

Rapid Regen/Radiant Regen among other skills should not be able to stack multiple times. Only one instance of a certain skill should be allowed per player...the highest heal should take precedent. The ball groups that have found out how to build in the new CP system have effectively become unkillable due to HOT stacking and high Health Regen. While this may be what Cyrodiil was designed to handle, it currently cannot. Encouraging large numbers of people to occupy the same area is directly attributable to the degradation of performance. Left unaddressed this will continue to get worse.

So if HoT's can't stack anymore then DoT's won't be able to either right? Not really fair to limit how much healing you can receive but still allow unlimited damage no?

As far as those ball groups are concerned, just get a couple sorcs to negate them. It should honestly be easier now considering Earthgore is gone, and Bogdan, and VD, and powerful assault, and meritorious service, and sanctuary, and gossamer, and spell power cure, and all the sets balls used to synergize together.

Of course they'll still be "unkillable" in some situations because an organized comp group will always beat a bunch of disorganized randoms, but I don't see why that's actually an issue.

its been time to address it for years.

we need a static "regen" buff like FF14 to replace all the hots that is a static value that you can only have one of, like every other buff.

negate is useless without proper damage aswell. stam heals cannot be negated at all and skills like rapid regen or radiant regen also

negate may look good on paper but in reality it does nothing to good groups.
hot stacking IS issue for some time now but it was always overlooked. other thing i think they should do is put purge on cooldown so you can start using sieges to hurt them

This should be the solution. Just convert HoTs to Minor Regeneration and Major Regeneration.

Group healing should reward skill, positioning, threat anticipation and quick reactions. Instead, we have 10 people spamming Radiant Regen.
