Sword and Board passive.

Quick question...

now that the stamina regen is in full nightmare mode....could you at least ZOS , change the last passive in the sword and board line , since nobody will be blocking AND walking at the same time. and perhaps design a passive that would give people using that skill line SOMETHING......instead of the movement...maybe a small boost in stam regen or decrease in blocking costs.

    Sorry I don't have an answer, but being on Console, I'm just curious how bad/nerfed is sword and shield now with the changes?

    the last passive i believe is something with movement while blocking.

    but i dont feel people will be holding block that long to care about a movement speed. some will some wont.

    no crazy changes to sword and board, but i thought that would be a good place to start with this stamina buisness since most tanks might have sword and board equipped.

    felt like a good place to start.

    blocking with a toothpick , blocking with a staff , a shield, blocking with your slowest friend in front of you...

    holding block stops regen on your stamina.

    effects everyone.

    also dodge rolling gets increased by 33 % each roll....

    so the means to AVOID incoming damage has been severely gimped.

    its like watching your resource bars instead of the action... why have such a pretty game if i cant watch it lol

    yeah , i know its all new and everyone will have to make adjustments.

    it just feels like there were too many changes to stamina. all at once.

    i dont block spam , never really did. i liked to dodge roll instead to avoid incoming red circles, and i didnt even spam that , but now its 1 2 3 and empty.

    in bigger fights its becoming a issue. i dont want to wear heavy armor just so i can survive. thats not how i want to play.

    Yeah I'm a VR14 Magicka Templar, I have maybe 8k stam lol
    Good thing I transitioned recently from using sword and board.
    Guess I'll have to keep those stam potions out and on standby! lol

    Which is a little odd, considering ZoS advised us to NOT join in with zergs, in regards to well known server performance issues. lol
