PvE Tanking

Lisbette

I really don't see why people who PvP are QQ'ing about the "no stam regen while blocking". However, I do see why PvErs are QQ'ing about it.

In PvE, in end-game "content", such as trials, DSA, and pledges, it is impossible for a tank to release block without getting one-shot by a boss. For example, a tank cannot release block while fighting the Mantikora in Sanctum Ophidia, without totally getting one-shot by him.

So, as a solution to this, I believe that this "no stam regen while blocking" should apply only to PvP, and not PvE.

There should be different sets of rules for PVP as soon as you log into cyrodil. WOW separated these and I think this is the best policy. It is not possible to satisfy the PVP community without breaking PVE. The same rule applies the other way of course. Dark age of Camelot which reminds me a lot of this game had the same issue early on.

^This.... you even have to be careful about when to bar swap against the Manti/Serpent's Image... get the timing wrong on your bar swap and you die.
The idea of trying to sneak in a heavy attack to regen stam is laughable against a lot of the Trial bosses.

The stamina regeneration stop while blocking only applies to PVP, last I heard.
