I promise you , he doesn't, lmao

the funny part is all the silly people - 5-10 are going to a keep - see Tamerlin and stop to try to kill him - and eventually die without ever making it to the keep, get mad, and get back to trying to kill him

same for Gorrag

just like DC was with Vortexman a few months back and a few other tanks out and about

we all know who they are and do our best to just walk away, but silly people who don't know better?

nice job!

When ZOS decided to allow damage to be out of control.

Damage is out of control since IC, reactive same way cancer as proctarding, even older than it and actually considered as one of the reasons for proctards.

As far as I concern, the damage was still decent enough that people don't literally melt in 2 seconds compare to right now. Not until they decided to implement Vicious Death and Clever Alchemist that damage suddenly become 1HIT KO game.

Good logic there buddy, yeah. We totally should have more proc set to combat Reactive since clearly people keep on making new thread demanding nerf to Reactive set.

Chicken and the egg. Proc users make the reverse argument. You're each on opposite ends of the same cheese stick.

If you are happy cool . I know when to walk away so its no issue to me . Had one try to follow me once , that was funny . I lead him to a lore book and some goblins , no Zerg .

Problem = armor sets being much more important than class skills and player ability

1. It wasn't, magsorc could burst down almost anyone with inevitable+curse+frag+endless fury combo

2. Sorry, but my only proc set is bloodspawn, so don't even try to pretend that i feel positive about proctarding, but still reactive isn't less cancerous, even more, set is broken but forgotten

Nice video..

I am almost finishing my tank build.
I will post soon.

It still amazes me the amount of QQ generated by a playstyle that you can literally just ignore. The only people I could imagine are mad at this are Xv1 players and groups that rely on 20 pugs stacking with their 15 to take an objective.

Well you realize those types of groups are what comprise 90% of Cyrodiil right? My hats off to Haxus 10 man group for being able to semi tolerate me in their blob for 15+ minutes. In the end they did turn on me when AD showed up tho haha. Hate tells from pineapple made it all worth it tho

This is untrue. While builds like this aren't going to burst anyone down, they can have a significant influence on a wide variety of fights by providing benefits such as:

-- CCs
-- Debuffs
-- Buffs
-- Rezing
-- Heals (they may be small, but it adds up)

They are a tremendous factor in keep conflicts inside breaches and on flags.

There are many groups that run at least one build like this and some raids that seem mostly composed of these builds. They are tedious and time consuming to fight.

I loved tanky builds in 2.1 and 2.2. They are now far too easy to play for the benefits they provide. It used to take some competency to play tanky, but now *anyone* can do it and very easily be effective.

pcar944

I have only so much magicka to spam FEAR

IxSTALKERxI

Just get 12 of these builds, stick 6 on each flag, and watch a min-maxed destro ult emperor cry in frustration as they get deposed.

I hate builds like these with a passion. -.-

All of the above is accomplished better with a group disruptor type build or healtank rather than a full tank, which all competent groups are running anyway. Full damage sponge builds are very low in utility/heals/area denial.

The advantage of these builds is pulling agro. The traditional belief is a full tank is pointless in PvP because you can't taunt players. That should be true, but we've reached a point where so many in Cyrodiil just indiscriminately zerg everything in sight that anyone visibly outnumbered or alone is a giant walking aoe taunt. Sponge builds are a reaction to that, and that makes them extremely stong, but only against people who choose to get tanked. It adds an element of discretionary play to a playstyle that's usually about mindlessly stacking numbers.

JDar

Even the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA are ashamed of how defensive you play

JDar

I should point out that the San Antonio Spurs have to still be very skilled at defense and still have a well rounded playstyle in what you might call the NBA "metagame"

The difference is that you do not have to be skilled to play defensive tank builds in the ESO "metagame". And you do not have to be well rounded in ESO PvP.

Furthermore basketball is limited to groups of 5.

Otherwise, I'm impressed.
