Systemic problem with new "Balance" issue

decado0024_ESO · January 2015

So i have spent the last few days on the PTS server. Some of the new content like justice system and the bounties are really fun but in regards to PVP .....WTF ZOS.

On paper some of these new skills and changes look really good. However they don't work. To boil it all down yes stamina based skills are effective now and they are effective for all classes. Goood job. The problem rests with the new shielding shenanigans. Shields are extremely powerful now, they can be spammed and there is no cost efficient way to bypass them. Shields do not need to be the new meta of pvp.

I'm very happy that templars have been given an execute but does it have to be channeled, and do a truckload of damage regardless of player health. When you combine this with the new shields its overkill.

How can you possibly expect shields to be the new "thing" and have nightblades be the only class without a class based shield skill. I'm very glad perma blocking is gone but if your just going to make another "i win button" that every class can use except nightblades why change anything at all.

I think you have made a "STEP" in the right direction but all this patch has done is made nightblades the weakest link . You gave us 2 new skills that quite frankly dont work, and were still the only class without self shields, alot of the viable "caster" build skills are now stam morphs and we cant even get a mundus stone that grants stam recovery.

PLEASE FIX BEFORE LIVE RELEASE.

The templar execute is currently bugged - it starts doing 300% damage at 50% health.
