    Yestarday when i watched Sypher stream he was in group with others and one of them said that today we will see another significant Heavy armor nerf whih will destroy the meta . What they might be , does anyone know ?

    The math whizes/qaunts will adapt. Change sucks when it comes to games but I have faith in our whiz kids despite my belief this has been done all wrong on sooooo many levels.

    Hooray, now you can waste all your resources on perma-blockers and can't even get them back!

    The blocking one is a bit stupid, i understand the dodging one.

    Are there any perma blockers anymore though?

    You don't need to be a perma-blocker, just wait for your favorite ad-on to tell you to "BLOCK NOW!", the game plays itself!

    all i can say is when i played with a 2h dk in heavy it was boring as hell fighting before they ruined the game lol
    make anew character or switch your build
    let somebody else be the stupid meatshield if you ever want to solo anything without falling asleep constantly

    (I fell asleep often doing that and managing inventory and kept dropping the controller... bear in mind games named morrowind have horrible unfun combat so you may want to move on now and save yourself time and not give them money for taking away from your experience as opposed to adding to it which you would intuitively pay them for)

    Its actually quite a clever way to have a reliable resource recov method in PVE - but to force you to run recov builds (therefore reducing dmg) in PVP.

    Also like the new changes, if you want to spend the CP's lowering block cost they have to come from somewhere else in Warrior Thief. Cost reduction enchants-traits are also a trade off.

    Probably something that will make PVE tanks life even more miserable

    this...always this

    well you can spam ice heavy attacks more often and get back more resources. that' s a buff if you use an ice staff :|

    I actually tested the base return for Ice, Fire, Lightning and Restoration on PTS yesterday.

    Without CP Ice and Fire was only around 78% of what Lightning staff returned. And of course Resto returned the highest with the 30% passive. The amounts were:

    Ice, Fire = 2832
    Lightning = 3632
    Restoration = 4184 (with passive)

    With heavy armour and restoration (with passive) + 10% in tenacity I could get Restoration up to 5614 return.

    Maybe it's about that set that does oblivion damage as a % of max health. That could do something good in pvp by changing the meta a bir.

    In PVP? Eh, sometimes.

    PVE functionality? Gone. This was a unintentional breaking of how traditional tanks are supposed to be built.
