What I feel needs to change about attributes and damage

Strider__Roshin

Truthfully I find it a tad ridiculous that you can spec into pure damage, and that gives you maximum survivability and damage. There's no give or take in this game. I think the main determining factor for damage should be your spell or weapon damage; which is currently how it is when it comes to light and heavy attacks. Where max stam and max magicka should shine is healing, and damage shields.

This would make it so if you want strong heals or large damage shields you need to invest into your max stat, but by doing so you'll sacrifice a lot of damage.

For abilities the SD/WD : max stat ratio should be 40:1 like it is for light and heavy attacks, and not the current 10:1

so basically you want everyone to be able to one shot everybody, sounds like something I just am not in support of

This change would also make high CP slightly less impactful in terms of damage since it's only your attributes that's increased by 20% rather than your SD and WD.

And how would this make it so you can 1-shot everyone?

The damage scaling for all the abilities would obviously need adjusting, but what I'm stressing is the influence of stats on abilities. I think having your heals, shields, and damage scale from the same source is a terrible design.

No. Your post is the prime example of people who go from one extreme to another. Clearly you've never played any other MMO.

Daus you make a good point.

I'm not even gonna bother explaining more to the OP. It's exhausting as this has been a serious, old, and ongoing issue.

This has been one of the main crutches for ESO on PVP.
Specs that can dps, heal, and hold block for far too long in PVP before running out of resources.

I agree with your premise; just not sure about the proposed fix.

They seemed to try to address this as being a sustain issue with Morrowind but I don’t care if someone spans an ability. They don’t have to if it’s so powerful; it’s over before they need to worry about resources.

I'm just trying to offer a possible solution. If someone can come up with something better then I say go for it.

In theory, its fair and it makes sense for scaling the defenses logically. Lowers TTK a lot, but offers sacrifice.

In practice, no. So much would have to change. Shields, already balanced (heh) would be the best if everything else changes without rebalancing.

Groups would run full damage and full heals same as usual and only smaller groups will suffer.
