Video: First time I Accepted a Duel as a Tank...

I'm a tank and I've never dueled before, so when I got this duel invite, I decided to see how long I could hold out. I'm the same guy who posted on the forum yesterday about how I couldn't kill anything as a tank in PvE.: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4440091

Time to see if I could take it instead of dishing it out! I appears I can hold out just fine :) . Video is 3:11 in length. He gives it everything he's got starting 0:52, then stops. Then starts trying again at 1:43. Then finally, I get bored and distance myself. I never move even once throughout the entire duel :)

    This game is a joke. The devs are incompetent and unintelligent. They don't understand how to make a balanced PvP MMO at all.

    It's nothing but a bunch of max CP players trying to convince themselves they're good at video games. Come play me in starcraft 2, anyone. You could play for 200000 hours and I'd still beat you. That's a game that requires real skill.

    Its an specialized tank build, you are very hard to kill but can not do damage.
    Seems pretty balanced for me.
    Pretty useless in PvP outside of using siege equipment and confusing stupid players.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Umm how does this outcome mean unbalanced to you?

    Its a tank ( who said he cant kill anything in pve which means he cant hurt nobody in pvp at all ) so whats the deal lol?

    Btw no matter how tanky you are in open world a strong group of 4-5 will destroy atleast in that 5 min time frame. Which is how it should be.

    I'd drop you in a minute, easy, without ever taxing my resources. Cost resource poisons literally hard counter PVE tank builds like this, any 2 pugs could make short work of you. Because of the math that goes into making a good tank build, your resources are tight anyway, cost increase poisons devastate you .

    The people who think tanks are OP are just bad.

    Maybe. I've never used poisons, and never PvP'd either. So I know literally nothing about the subject...I'm certainly not qualified to talk about any PvP build being "OP" or not!

    If youre having issues in ESO, then you might be not as good at games as you imagine. With all balance flaws, this game is significantly easier than oldschool games.

    I'm guessing you were the guy trying to kill him? Offended much, perhaps less tea bagging, less heavy attacks on a DW magsorc and some general L2p. proper scrub time ta git gud.

    I'm really bad at pvp so I don't know if my observations mean anything but.... that guy didn't try to anim cancel one thing. Hard casting frags? Did he use an ultimate timed with a stun and all his direct damage skills at once? I've had a few Battlegrounds and I die to stunlock 12 times in a row... I wish more pvpers were like that sorc you fought, I might survive more.

    They're not broken at all. They're put in the game to deal with tank and sustain builds and they work perfectly to counter them. I am a purely solo player, totally alone and often on the opposite side of the map between two opposing factions, I will absolutely use every single mechanic available to me, the fact that you're trying to come up with your own moral code instead of playing the game as provided just makes you seem like a bad.

    Your comment is a joke actually...

    The game might need some balance yeah, but what do you think it means?

    You have no idea of what you are talking about. Stop insulting and think a little bit before spitting *** from your mouth.
    The guy is a PVE tank. He has made some choices. He has geared up as a tank, being able to take whatever damage thrown to him... BY LEAVING AT ONE SIDE ANY SORT OF DAMAGE SKILL.
    Yeah, he's probably hard and tough to kill, but he will NEVER kill you, cause the choice he made in game was to take damage, not to deal it.

    Before calling anyone incompetent and unintelligent think a little bit of what you are saying, cause you might look as a fool.
