Thanks Devs for ruining this game and my time spent here.

Templar based character : used shield bashing with passives + rings. I Understand that it's damage was big for some classes it needed a nerf but like 20-30% not 300% . VR4 Templar in VR3 zone (Tank build 2.2k armor 1.8k health) can't take 2 2-hand sword npcs + mage. Even rune focus + healing does not help. Tell me how you think have "fixed" bashing? If it takes stamina per use and deals same dmg like simple hit with a sword? Now tanker is a complete garbage and sorcerer can withstand more monsters. So guess that I gonna rerol to another class or leave this gaming community for a very long time. It ruined enjoyment of game and where would I go mainly my char dies not to mention doing solo public dungeon (easiest ones). Don't know what expect in future. Guess that someone will do some wise decisions to put more balanced gameplay. Thanks for your time. And im very disappointed.

What you experienced has ZERO to do with the Bash balance but a bug that caused VR1-10 mobs to do something like +200% damage, which ZoS said is fixed now, although I'm still finding a few mobs who can hit me for 1800+ with overcharged resists/armor, just much less now. ZoS didn't in any way waste your time, you CHOSE to use a mechanic that wasn't balanced well and 95% of ESO players agreed needed a nerf. The irony they didn't nerf it's damage at all when you use it properly, that is to interupt.

Here is what you do..take all the canned response emails you've gotten, remove any identifying account information, put together a nice little package, and fire it off to every game reviewer, magazine, and online site that you can. I'm sure they were happy to see the google results starting to pop up positive about their new content release. Get a couple interested sites to start looking at the billing issues still ongoing, the login issues, the crash issues, and everything else. If when you do a search for eso news and the first 10 results are reality of what is happening in game again maybe they will start trying to save their jobs before the real world nerf bat swings towards their car and house payment in 6 months.

I've witnessed Matt Firor do this once already in 2001 DAOC had a nice little niche mmorpgrvr game by 2003 with the soon to be released Blizzard behemoth looming and Mythics spies they had beta testing it Mythic did a total about face and released what is now simply refered to as the deathknell of DAOC. The end game for ESO was never "adventure zones" it was suppose to be about the Ruby Throne and the war in Cyrodill, Skill>Gear. Now look at ESO and the Alliance Wars back seated for what a god damn gear grind, TOA Redux.

Here is what you do. Go and uninstall your brain. You're welcome.

Seriously, you need to get a grip.

I am a templar tank. I levelled without using bash for anything except interrupt. This way, i learned to play the game and my class without a broken mechanic as a crutch to carry me through the game.

I am sure you knew, yet you ignored anyway because you are a moron. Further confirmed by the fact you come to the official forums complaining that you can no longer use an exploit.

Learn to play your character. I tanked every VR dungeon as a templar with sword and shield, and am comfortably tanking Craglorn. Its not the game its you and all the other douchebagger exploit users, such as the vampire crowd, that are making this game less fun.

Have a good day.

The best part of MMOs are the players, the worse part of MMOs are again the players, as exemplified by some of the previous posts.

As a Templar myself, I'm more concerned with what they did to Biting Jabs. I know that bots were exploiting it, but now, when you use it, you are forced into a 1.5 second cooldown (that begins after the animation is finished) on ALL offensive actions except movement. You cannot use ANY other attack, not even light and heavy attacks. That, my friends, is a severe problem for honest players. it would be just fine if it was just bitting jabs, but it affects all attacks, which is bogus.

They have already said they will revert Biting Jabs next patch...

Anyways, back on topic;
If you fail to realize that shield bashing shouldn't do more damage than a two-handed axe heavy attack... I am sorry

Here is a perfect "example" of why Bash was changed.
