Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
From a tankblade perspective I think evasive trance is a too much feast or famine. If I am already blocking then my damage mitigation is already high. And 1/3 second time frame isn’t a large enough time window to line up incoming attacks.
I think changing the dodge to an automatic block with zero resource cost for 2-3 seconds; while scaling the block amount with how much the character has would be a better approach.
Also changing the 5% increased damage to scale up to 10% based off of weapon/spell damage while allowing it function on both blocks and dodges would make it more flexible for different builds.
Maybe change it to something like below (the values are for illustrative proposes):
Evasive Trance: This passive causes you to Block incoming attacks for 3 seconds when activating a Nightblade ability; this has a 5 second cooldown after the effect ends. Blocking or dodging any attack through any means causes your attacker to take 5%-10% increased damage based on your weapon/spell damage for 5 seconds.

Re: Can we please have some "down time"?
I agree that one way to handle the situation is to ignore all the stuff you don't want to do, but it's annoying how difficult the game makes it to do that.
I have multiple addons to remove or minimise unwanted notifications and pop-up text and other noise about things I'm not currently doing and even then there's a few steps to go through to clear stuff I don't want to know about so I can focus on actually playing the game. Which is especially frustrating for a game that was originally advertised as having a minimalist UI and "play the way you want" approach.
It also doesn't feel great when the choice offered is "you either do this now, on our schedule, or you don't do it at all". Yes players can make that choice, but it's very different to the system we had up until recently when the majority of things could be played on your own schedule and it was only occasional events which were time-limited.
You can learn to ignore it, you can accept you're going to miss out and that's ok, you can clear out the clutter and shut off the noise and learn to focus on what you're doing, but those are the kind of choices you make for something you have to get done, not something you're choosing (and paying) to do for fun.

Re: TY for the 3v3 team PVP return
Having to jump down for 1-2 seconds on a team that can already beat you is like salt in the wound though. They need to give spawn invicibility for a few seconds so people atleast have a chance. Sometimes you take fall damage too cuz eso spaghetti code

2 items: Adds 28-1206 Maximum Health
3 items: Adds 28-1206 Maximum Health
4 items: Adds 4% Healing Taken
5 items: When you take damage, you grant you and your group members within 8 meters a damage shield that absorbs 261-11260 damage for 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 12 seconds.
Should end-game quality tank equip this set or not?
No. The only defensive set endgame tanks might wear is pearlescent ward. Buffing damage is too important to drop a buff set with a defensive set. If you’re in a situation where everyone keeps dying then you could pearlescent ward, necro res, or baron zandrus + ele sus + barrier/arc shield ult/dk shield ult. But I wouldn’t do it by default.

Re: Is there any of big sharing damage shield effect tank gear?
There's a list here:
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Online-Sets_with_Damage_Shield
Note that some of those are healer sets that proc shields on the healed target (eg Combat Physician), some are personal (eg Crusader), and some apply to group members (eg the aforementioned Brands of Imperium, Lunar Bastion).

@ZOS_GregoryV @ZOS_Erin can we get some moderation help here?
This thread was recently closed due to @Haki_7 and @Moonspawn derailing any meaningful conversation regarding BGs. They're likely the same person using 2 accounts to bump their pet topic and choke out any other BGs discussion in General, as they have done before.

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
I STILL don't have either fishing lead for Thrassian's Stranglers. I tried and tried and tried back when they were meta and I still periodically go back and try again because I'm a completionist. It definitely can be frustrating.
That said, didn't they start putting leads on a rotation to be purchaseable in IA to counteract this issue? I don't follow Antiquities as closely as other things so I don't know if they all go through on a rotation or just certain ones, but I always felt like it was a good addition to counteract the problem described.
https://eso-hub.com/en/merchant-ool
Only for multi-part Gold Antiquities, usually Mythics. None of the awful Map-exclusive furnishing leads are stocked.
In theory Filer Ool could be an OK stop-gap (minus the fact it'll take just as long to wait for him to stock a Lead as it does to grind it). But the reality is half the time he stocks cheap purple plans and base-zone "Treasure" maps not worth buying for AF, and Leads that can literally be picked up off the ground.

Re: Issue: Accidental Tome Claims via "Hold" Mechanic
Strongly agree. I have almost accidentally purchased items more than once in the short time the Tome has been available.
The whole Tome interface seems full of choices that deviate from the rest of the game for no meaningful reason. It leaves me with the impression of being the work of a single designer who never really uses the keyboard+mouse interface in-game.

Re: Issue: Accidental Tome Claims via "Hold" Mechanic
A confirmation page would be a big improvement. I guess they did it this way to make it easier for us to claim multiple items if we finish all the weeklies together and/or use cache, but a quick confirmation wouldn't be much of a hardship even then.
I have claimed something I didn't want (AP scrolls when my PvP character is already 5* - hoping they can be used in Veterancy!) because I was on the wrong page. Must have caught a shoulder button I guess. I noticed just too late to stop in time. Luckily they were only 150 points I think, but it's still annoying
