Penitration

Anazasi

We all know that physical and spell penetration is working far too well at the moment. Infact it can negate the hard caps on mitigation. My question to ZOS is are you looking at this and are you going to adjust it so that penetration falls back in line with mitigation or what? A response would be nice since everyone and their mother has figured out if you stack pen and debuffs on a target they die so fast they might as well be playing naked.

Hence why stammers roll, magic stack shield and tanks block... Seems like rock, paper and scissor to me. Mitigation working as intended. IMO

yea we cant have anything working TOO well, that would raise expectations.

armor is useless in pvp and has been for over a year (since 1.6) either through bugs or "balance" absurd amounts of pen has always been readily available (remember the sharpened mace bug that was left for months)

penetration should never have been a thing tbh, and certainly not to the extent that it is, it completely bypasses the point of one of the armor choices (heavy duh) and if armor is useless (as it is now) it leads to a burst meta (that we have now)

penetration needs to be gutted across the board, especially passive penetration bonuses, so armor can become a relevant thing again.

and LOL for the above post of "tanks block" with recent changes light and medium armor block just as well as heavy. you should have said "light shield stacks and spams heals, medium dodge rolls and spams shuffle and heals, and heavy armor stands there and gets f**cked" that would have been correct.

Now...if they would only stop nerfing block or make armour matter...
