Crit heals in pvp is not so strong. I can add it partially. Mines do not mitigate damage directly. But you are right for Ball of Lighting because it can absorb magic projectiles.
Everybody who PvP regularly knows that in some situation he can be a main target for 3 or more people. Which class has the best defensive abilities in PvP?

I'd say NBs are the weakest defence class, since they lack a good self heal and cloak is ridiculously easy to counter.
Maybe templars are the best defensive class, since they have powerful heals and damage shield

Dragonknight
As a DK I can use reflective scales which reflects 4 projectiles in 4 seconds and obsidian shield which scales of health. Another defensive skill that I can use is magma armor. One morph of standard for damage mitigation.
Sorcerer
As a Sorc I can spam my hardened ward. Ball of lightning - absorbs magic projectiles.
Nightblade
As a NB I can use cloak to remove DoTs and cancel single target attacks and blur for 20% dodge chance. Consuming darkness - ultimate for damage mitigation
Templar
As a Templar I can use purifying ritual to cleanse, breath of life to heal myself and sun shield which scales of health. Radial sweep - ultimate for damage mitigation.
If I missed any class defensive skill please write it down and I will add it to the description. I didnt add the armor and spell resistance buffs as every class has them.

- Strongest and spammable absorb shield -by a large margin-
- Daedric Mines
- Self heal mechanic
- Combination of restoration staff skills (healing ward, HoT, etc etc) AND crushing shock.. ! (THIS IS SO STRONG, people are just lucky that many sorcs don't really know how to play with resto staff^^)
- consecutive blink/teleport (however YOU call it ZENIMAX.. don't reinvent the wheel...^^), the nurf did not really make it impossible to teleport 3-4 times in a row

This, thank god zos said a class rebalance is incoming, I can't wait to see the QQ of all the people that rerolled sorcs recently just to be OP, same as DK a while back.
Me? I'm still loving my templars, and still praying that this class rebalance finally pushes us up a notch

May I ask when and where they said this? I agree btw. Sorcs have the best damage, the best mobility and the best survivability. There needs to be a trade-off somewhere.

Early next year, I *think* they are aiming to do it before the next dlc, but WORST case March when the next dlc drops, although they've already said major updates will be coming before then anyway.
I would say end of Jan beginning of feb.
Personally people say buff other classes, yeah great, but if they buff everyone to be as powerful as sorc end game content will already become a joke, hence why sorcs find malestrom easy and other classes find it hard, it should be in between for both, so some classes need tweets to be more powerful, but only a smidge, whilst others need a small nerf, so that content doesn't become too easy.

Except they dont have anywhere close to the best mobility and they can't have the best damage and the best survivability both.Strider_Roshin wrote: »Francescolg wrote: »Sorc or NB have the strongest defense, aswell as the strongest attack abilities.

I know players from all classes who think Maelstrom is easy. I also know sorcs who find maelstrom hard. Maelstrom shouldn't be the measure stick for which class balance is achieved.

I corrected this for you. Now can you tell us why do you think that DKs has the best stand your ground defense?CatchMeTrolling wrote: »Dks had the best stand your ground defense
