I know that so many of you have different ideas about tanking, but let me still ask the following question. Do tanks really need to get nerfed more?

nah, i think alot of us want more tanky builds in there instead of the burst meta we have to deal with currently

You know, you can do more things as a tank than just hold the RMB...
I can tank all content in game apart from vMoL (haven't tanked there) with my Templar just by spamming sweeps. There are attacks that require blocking, but it's only the minority of time that is spent holding RMB.
I'd suggest you experiment with the skills & gear available to your class.
Tanking will be fine without the block cost reduction from heavy armor. In fact, heavy armor could even become the new meta with all the other buffs it's getting.
In fact, I'm a little afraid of how OP heavy armor magicka templar will be in PvP with all the buffs incoming...

Sorry, but in this vid, you get kitten scratches from 2 people max while other stay around and trying to make visibility that they do something. Show vid when you get WB'ed from 3 v16 least colonels without blocking.Sugaroverdose wrote: »it's only me or people who talks "this is a cool buff" does not know that constitution have 4 seconds cooldown?

Strictly false.
I hate self advertising, but see my youtube video for a heavy armor magicka templar build that does just fine without holding block 24/7.
I'm 100% certain other classes are capable of similar builds.

well @Personofsecrets , Sturdy does indeed NOT stack like Fortress, Bracing and Defensive Posture morphs in livePersonofsecrets wrote: »My guess is that the sturdy trait doesn't stack in the same way that bracing did. IF it does, then I don't think we are in a good place, but if it doesn't stack without diminished returns, then maybe people will stop saying how sturdy is a fine and dandy replacement.
It is the worst of the two @lolo_01b16_ESO , 8 traits do not give 8*3% = 24.00%, but 8 traits give 21.63% (from 100% - 97%^8)lolo_01b16_ESO wrote: »Sturdy is bugged and provides less block cost reduction than stated in the tooltip.
Base block costs are 2160, so with 8 pieces legendary sturdy armour (24% block cost reduction), this should be either
2160 x 0.76 = 1642 if it stacks additive or
2160 x 0.97^8 = 1693 if it stacks multiplicative.
But when testing it, blocking costs 1740.
I am just wondering why the medium armor keep the roll doge passive even that there is a new trait for reduce roll dodge? I really dont get it ZoS. You try to buff heavy armor and you stated that you want to increase the survivability part of it and at the same time you nerf it even more.
I did spot only couple of player with at least one 'square' or higher grade in your 1vX's(and you get wiped there), are you sure, that your survivability is about heavy armor, witch does gives something like 20k resists in 7pieces and not about lack of CP on their side? I've seen multiple times that you get 4.3k WB crits which is a joke while you don't seems to have any critical resistance.Sugaroverdose wrote: »Sorry, but in this vid, you get kitten scratches from 2 people max while other stay around and trying to make visibility that they do something.

This build can tank 5+ people for a long time, and if they dont have a decent healer it can kill them as well.
Of all the clips, the first clip in the video features two people only. I assume you didnt get past it.
At 16 minute mark of the video there's a clip I had to speed up 300% to fit in the video, that should demonstrate the tankiness it's capable of: https://youtu.be/iWEjA18SrFk?t=16m6s
I have other clips on my computer that I simply couldn't fit in the video because of how long they were.
Trust me, you can be extremely tanky without becoming a shield spamming sorc or permablocking.
The reason the damage might seem like "kitten scratches" to you is the main reason to run heavy armor: mitigation (and that's not going anywhere)
These are not just "youtube highlights" btw, but regular encounters that I ran to while recording. I don't play often enough to be selective about the clips I upload and I wouldn't be here telling how awesome heavy armor & tanking can be if I didn't truly believe that. There's no hidden agenda.

I have 32k buffed, almost 40k spell resist with bloodspawn proc, and you know what? Sorcs and magblades still deal descent amount of damage, just because of spell penetration.Sugaroverdose wrote: »I did spot only couple of player with at least one 'square' or higher grade in your 1vX's(and you get wiped there), are you sure, that your survivability is about heavy armor, witch does gives something like 20k resists in 7pieces and not about lack of CP on their side?

I have 33,6k spell resistance (50%++) & 26,1k physical resistance 39,4%) as well as 1869 critical resistance (28.3%) with 5 pieces of heavy armor & no outside buffs.
Basicly all damage is a joke at that point, and getting bursted down becomes pretty much an impossibility
Combine that with 3,7k spell damage boosting your healing & dmg and you're good to go ^^
Also, you can't really expect to go off against multiple good players & win (not with any build). That's not how youtube videos work
With this change i don't see a single reason to wear heavy armor in PvP:
1. You can craft full light armor with block trait.
2. In 7 light armor you will have perfect magicka sustain thx to passives so you can enchant more reduce block glyphs.
3. In 7 light you will have +10% spellcrit and constant spell penetration that not reqire you to be a hitted dummy.
4. In 7 light with revamped LA shield you will get very strong Dampen Magicka morph that will protect against all types of attacks.
5. You can craft 7 LA of Armor Master set and activating Dampen Magicka won't just give you strong damage shield but also increase your HP and proc 5pc bonus - in 7 light you will have same numbers of armor as in HA.
Overall in LA armor you will have more sustain, more survivability, more dps, equal armor rate.
