Maxim resistance is at 33.2k...pls nerf the skills too !

Maxim resistance is at 33.2k...so that is 50% reduction.Dear ZOS , when you set this limit...especaly for us..the tanks...why u didnt set a limit for Armour penetretion too?ORRR...like you doing now..with the Sharpend , cut all the skill who have Phys and Mag penetration in half...like Sorcs passive from light armour..like Poison breath from Dragon knight,,,etc ! ?where the hell is the logic in your actions ?! ty !

Magdalina

If you want to mitigate penetration, stack more resistance than 33.2k. It's not that you can't get higher, it's that it won't have any effect normally(but if say you have 38k resistance and someone pokes you with Sharpened stick with 5k penetration, you'll still be sitting at 33k, therefore full 50% resistance).

I really like that part

btw. should they also cut YOUR penetration with ransack by half?

Qbiken

A player just have to use bleed-damage to ignore your resistance anyway......just saying

idk

How many players run around Cyro with 32k pen? A player would have to build specifically for penetration, including CP, to come close.

I ask myself the same question. Most builds do not even come close to those numbers..

Indeed. I'm good with that change, just as soon as the lazy implementation of +1 point in armor = +1 point in spell resist goes away.

Full heavy (is and) should be great against physical damage, but should be weak against magical. Pen from LA is part of the necessary counter to heavy armor, as it should be.

Everyday people ask for nerfs... I'm a new player, I die and struggle against some players...I'm just learning to play and don't ask nerfs!

Since your response was so thorough and elegant, I'll give you three examples.

Let's take two players, one in full plate, the other in a nylon jump suit.

1. Hit each with a sledge hammer.
2. Hit each with about 2000 volts.
3. Hit each with a blast from a flamethrower

I'll save you the pain and not even begin to mention how gear would affect mobility.

Umm. No. Heavy should provide solid resistance for both types of damage. There is no logic that the armor designed mostly with tanking in mind should be weak to anything.

Further, the spell pen in LA isn't exactly a tank buster. Ya, it helps, if helps against all armor types.

Just saw the insightful example above. Nylon jump suit armor now?

First of all, the resistance cap is 33,1k not 33,2. Second, there is no cap for penetration cause it would take A LOT to reach those kinds of numbers in terms of penetration.

4884+5280+1320+2530+5160+4000+5280=28454

Those are numbers on live, that is light armor passive, Major and Minor Breach, Infused+Torugs pact 5p+crusher, 2h Sharpened, 100p into spell erosion and 5p spinners. That is all you can get in terms of penetration for magicka on live server.

Sharpened is getting nerfed, spinners is getting nerfed, and you would be nerfing yourself going that hard into spell erosion. Minor Breach is almost impossible to get unless you are a templar using a certain stamina ability or a poison.

Seeing how much effort needs to be put into it, I think it seems pretty balanced. Cause no one is gonna do this. You lose out so much in spell damage and max magicka and spell crit that its just not worth it. And to be fair, you are talking about tanks right, and this is a PvP question since it has to do with penetration vs resistance/mitigation. A tank character can get mitigation that is not resistance that cannot be penetrated with anything but oblivion damage. Its really easy to get and makes you tanky as hell.

Maxing out this heavy into one stat always leaves you hanging in another. There is a trade of for everything. Major and Minor Fracture and Breach do not need a debuff.

I mean if you really wanted to you could stack resistance over the cap and you would be fine. You would be surprised at how extremely easy that is to do compared to getting high penetration. I was testing some penetration on the PTS with my wife and I gave her a set up that gave her over 50k resistance. Even if you had that 28k penetration she would still be close to the cap with that.

Nice comments ! As I thought , 90 % of ESO population are DD ! how can I expect to see other comments than : L2P , heavy armour is too OP,,,etc ,,,,dear DD ,,,what is the porblem in not killing someone ?what is the problem in bumping in someone who you cant kill him ? why you think the attack is more importent than defence?why every time that player has to die?If I build that BUILD to be a tank...beee sureee...I will neveerrr kill youu ! and I will never post on forums...OMG..I couldnt kill X or Y...but from your point of view...its a problem when someone dosent die from your combo? why every one hs to be a DD in MMORP...I see this in Dungeons...when I quee as a DD ...never find the party....and when I change for my tank...finds the party in 1 sec .enjoy your day !

If you want to continue the discussion I suggest you rewrite your responses, cause that was a pain to read and really hard to understand.

Destruent

Correct me if i'm completely off...but atm you just need to wear heavy armor, use defensive weapons and armor buff and you are at ~30k resist, isn't it? Use Lord warden and you are at armor cap...don't see where you have to "invest a lot" ....

(if it's not enough...use some CP...)

Asardes

If you end up stacking 33K+ resistance you will most likely be useless: you will do no damage, you will not be able to sustain even healing and other basic function. Nobody bothers stacking that much in PvE, let alone PvP. In fact stacking resistance is by far the least efficient way of mitigating damage: blocking, shielding, roll dodging or running a skill or set that give evasion are all more efficient.

The "nerf things because I can't win" mentality permeates a large portion of the posts on this forum. Only a handful of topics are actually thoughtful and helpful. If only people used their brains before bothering to write ...

7 Heavy Armor + Defending + Major Ward/Resolve gives you 25876 resistance. Lord Warden gets you up to 29746.

Using a build with no sets with +Resistance I get up to 23k Spell+Physical resistance with no class specific abilities/passives and only the CP Shield Expert. Major Resolve/Ward gets you to 28k and most classes have passives that increase resistances somehow in addition to all the sets that have +Resistance on them. So it's not "slap on any 7 pc Heavy Armor+Shield" easy to reach 33k but not too difficult either if you are careful in your class/set/cp choices.

Try bloodspawn instead of warden

Also certain race and class passives.

Its easy to reach near cap.

Yes sorry that also includes shield and the Shield expert CP. Also Lord Warden is far far far more reliable than Bloodspawn when it comes to resistance.

The highest amount of penetration I could whip up on a magicka build without applying major/minor breach is 19k.

those skills grant the same buff: major breach/ fracture. So, if they want to nerf it, they will have to nerf the buff and therefore, nerfing all skills which grant this buff.

cyx54tc

You got the whole thing wrong. its not that your max resistance is 33.2k, its that your max mitigation is 50%. So if your resist is 50k then you will still have 50% mitigation against someone having 17k penetration.

And yes penetration has a limit too. You cant have negative resistance so the max effective penetration = your resistance. A guy with 1 billion penetration will do the same as someone with 0 penetration against a target with 0 resistance.

Zbigb4life

Oh yes let us nerf everything and then ZOS can sell upgrades and buffs through the Crown Store

For sure: 50% proc chance vs. 6% proc chance, Lord Warden has almost 100% up time in fights where you get hit a lot, but the disadvantage is that you need to stay on the circle, but you also protect others. On a DK you will be over cap, at least in the spell resistance, with either one. The change to the shield expert passive doesn't change much. A gold quality reinforced or nirnhoned shield adds about 2K resistance, which receives a 75% or 1.5K resistance bonus with the current passive. The new passive adds 1.5K resistance regardless of trait, for both shield and frost staff, so frost staff tanking becomes more viable without degrading shield tanking. I actually like infused on shield, because with prismatic glyph it adds more resources, being a full piece. The actual reduction is to the reinforced/nirnhoned trait on shield which now only provides a flat 275/300 resistance bonus, which translates to a 0.4-0.5% mitigation bonus *when not blocking*.

For starters its not hard at all to push hard cap resistances. You can literally do it and still be able to use two 5-piece sets for dmg/sustain or even more resistances to negate any penetration other people have.

But the most important thing is that you actually believe that hard cap resistances is whats going to make you a tank. You couldnt be more wrong. Hard cap resistances wont magically transform you to an unkillable tank whether your target has 5k pen, 10k pen or 20k pen.
