Those bolded words define a completely different problem to your case. Proc damage sets are 'overperforming', not SnB skill line. We both know Tremorscale provides too much damage and CC.

They are there but many have an offensive weapon set on their front bar and S&B on the back bar. Further, some tank builds would use proc sets and go for survival in everything else but to a degree the proc set builds will change in a month.
However, much of the points made in the OP are subjective.
1. Weapon damage from the 1H weapon equipped with the S&B is only part of what goes into the damage equation. Comparing them in a vacuum an be misleading.
2. Damage of S&B skills are affected by the same stats as any other damage skills. If the character is built for dps overall and merely chooses a S&B as their weapon then damage should be decent. If built as a true tank damage should not be great. The OP doesn't take that into consideration. At least not mentioned.
3. As to gap closer. It's been pointed out that everyone has access to gap closers via class skills. Clearly something Zos felt strongly about. Also pointed out, who would actually go to fight a true tank and waste their time. Gap closer for tanks serves a solid purpose.
The game was designed on a premise that we can use any weapon with any class regardless of build. We can tank and heal on the same character, at the same time. There is no reason to suggest someone cannot have a dps build using S&B (though I would not suggest it for dps in vet trials). S&B has been part of dps and healing builds (Often back bar) in PvP since the game launched.
There are builds (on live) that do lxexenf dps while build for survival but OP has not touched on the reasons in the first post.
Anyone here remember the bash-o-magic 5000 build in the early days of this game?Edited by idk on July 11, 2017 7:09PM1 -

Invasion: 4 seconds. DS: 3.5 seconds. Reverb: 3 seconds. Piercing Javelin: 3 seconds. Incap: 3 seconds.
Destructive reach: can't remember, but less than 2. Toppling charge: 1.5 seconds (unless casting). Aurora javelin: 1.8 seconds. Frags: 2 seconds.

When fighting a stamina opponent, if you don't break free you will die before the stun expires because it is so much longer. Take into account that stamina users have more stamina to break-free/dodgeroll with and higher burst than their magicka counterparts who get 1 or 2 precious few in a short timeframe but shorter duration stuns...

@LegacyDMTremorscale? Why does a sword and board get crazy burst in pvp using tremor scale? Invasion--->bash---->ransack--->tremor--->bash--->reverberating bash = gg. OP has a point. Sword and board tanks in pvp should not be capable of this kind of burst for an instant I win combo. Now add DK, templar, or even sorc skills on top of that with their damage output and you have a crazy dps tank.
Bolded all those words for you to reread what you wrote.
Those bolded words define a completely different problem to your case. Proc damage sets are 'overperforming', not SnB skill line. We both know Tremorscale provides too much damage and CC. Take out Tremorscale from the mentioned rotation and you basically have a weak damage-dealing 'Tank'.
Exactly.
O I agree with you but it doesn't change the fact that it's causing sword and board to overperform and people are taking advantage of this like crazy. So until zos nerfs tremor, s&b burst will continue to over perform.
If tremorscale is the problem why is s&b overperforming?
Isn't tremor overperforming?
Don't have to use S&B to proc tremorscale
So again why is s&b Op?PS4 EU DC

rootimus✭✭✭✭✭I'm torn. On the one hand, OP has generated three pages of fairly passionate replies. On the other, I can neither understand his point, nor his posts. I think the final score is 3/10 - must troll better.Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".
