    i can see battlegrounds being 4 sword n board tanks and magplars running guard facing off against another 4 .and wardens with bears of course- but alot of builds might not be viable which is concerning. i enjoy playing 2hand and bow- which is a great open world mobility set up- but in a closed off environment- i ll anticipate probably have to switch it up to CC, AOE and utility type builds to be more effective.

    Without CP these tank will absorb damage but there are two downsides:
    1. You can still be killed. No CP mean you cannot make an unkillable permablock tank
    2. You will deal zero damage, and will make you less tanky than a pure survivability tank

    These tanks will probably be good at carrying flags. However, they won't provide much of a threat to hurting you.

    I think stuff likes this makes it a lot more fun an interesting. You can play any of the roles and actually be useful, but you cannot play them all anymore.

    Imo this type of balance will make Battlegrounds very popular and balanced compared to Cyrodiil.

    It's only a 15 minute fight. For flag captures you have special mechanics at each flag that will help your team take out tanks or people stacking on flag (On ESO Live they showed blades coming out from walls)

    For deathmatches, again it's only a 15 minute match.

    This ^

    My tank is 71k health with 30k+ in each resist, and what makes it work is the cost reduction and regen cp trees.

    It's why I'm already moving on and working on other toons.
    PC - NA
    @LadyLavina 930+ CP

    Scales-Of-Steel - Argonian Brick Tank/Off-Tank EP
    Lyanna Nightwind - High Elf Magsorc DPS / Gank/ Crowned Emp EP

    and a random assortment of mules and bleh. Quite a bit of bleh, actually.

    you can make perma block builds easily without CP by running ice desto, shield and 8 piece sturdy. on top of that run igneous on a dk and ppl cant crit on u while ur satm is up all times. Heavy armor is especially the best option in no cp as your regen gets nerfed hard and while you blocking on stam u regen magicka vise versa. Don't tell me to learn this game cause aperently you don't know the basics and given your rank you are spending more time in forum than in game!

    thought about doing this but figured I'd be more useful as deeps or heals in battlegrounds

    Yes very much! However, ppl will troll and do these builds. Take group finder disbands or troll tanks is pvp for example. Besides that these build could have a viable role in capture the flag; Tank of group 1 holds flag of group 2, everyone of group 2 has no choice but attaking tank f group 1 ( you cannot capture a flag unless you got your own) meanwhile group1 takes group 3s flag and banks it and so on....

    How to deal with Tanks:

    TDM: ignore them, and win by scoring kills against the other team.

    CTF: outrun them.

    Domination: grab the power sigil, and kill them.
