These are great PVP builds and you should definitely consider trying them in the very least. They will bring out your true skill and help you on your way to greatness. PVP has never been so diversified in ESO. These builds are amazing, I promise. The output is intense and will allow you to pressure your opponents in most 1vX situations while bringing forth your true potential. There is no counter for these builds.

As your enemies run Wyrd Tree's Blessing Set or try to Purge their magicka pools to zero they will see that you are the true king, the true champion, and all of their efforts are in vain.

Here they are the Abominable Sloadman and Sloading Screen. Created by Blob eso. These are his builds and I am not stealing them.

    No, you're trying to use them to
    help you on your way to forum greatness.
    Please post original thoughts, or simply stop posting.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    IRL'ing for a while for assorted reasons, in forum, and in game.
    I am neither warm, nor fuzzy...
    Probably has checkbox on Customer Service profile that say High Aggro, 99% immunity to BS

    You know, we're in a very diverse PVP climate. We need to work together to help each other be happy. Sloads may be strong but the answer is to run sloads. These builds are fantastic.

    Think about it, a magicka warden build that is actually viable.

    Don't take that away.

    I just take it as if OP is really ironic or sarcastic, because otherwise nobody will take him seriously again. Sloads plus duroks plus a damage monsterset has nothing to do with skilled gameplay.

    Anyway i just hope people on youtube advertise those builds that much to make ZoS realize how broken those sets are and how stupid the idea was to bring things like sloads up.

    A little perusing through the posting history and you'll see OP is quite serious.

    When wearing these sets you can take on significantly larger numbers solo than you can without them. I think the skill level is similar between fighting 3-4 people using max stat setups compared to fighting 5-8 people using meta builds.

    Since you can more aggressively pursue more difficult fights, fights you normally couldn’t compete in much less win, then arguably there’s no difference in skill required as long as you expand your fight selection. In the exact same circumstances meta builds require less skill than max stat ones, but if you use the fact you’re running a meta setup to engage in more challenging fights then the skill requirement is arguably the same or higher, no?

    While I understand what you're saying, the choices you make as an individual do not alter the landscape around you. So your fight "selection" will remain the same insofar as your available options remain the same. The only real difference is your own efficiency in these essentially unchanged circumstances.

    On another note, warden is mostly able to pull off stuff like this because of shimmering shield. On no other class can I just straight up open-field tank like I can on warden. It's that level of broken that wings used to be, but since it's not reflecting the damage I guess it's not quite so obvious. (?)

    what does "broken [snip]" even mean?

    If player A elects to run a damage set with proc and player B elects to run a full defensive set like impreg - and player A busts his nut and fails because player B can sustain through the pressure and then player B with built in class aoe advantages like sub assault can time his burst using ulti and ability turns the tide and kills not only player A but player C that jumped into the fray - what was broken?

    is not the bull[snip] of the defensive set - negating a full damage set - not "broken" as well? Is not the built in aoe advantages of some classes over others allowing 1vX in combination with sustain/defensive sets not "broken" too?

    open your eyes son. And while you're at it - your ears. Listen up - IT IS A GAME

    nothing more.

    And if it's in the game, IT's IN THE GAME!

    u want to play defensive - do it. u want to play offensive - do it. u want to tank? u want to heal? u want to purge? u want to damage? u want to proc? u want to sustain?

    DO IT. JUST DO IT!

    but seriously - get off your high horse telling others what is and isn't broken. what is and isn't skill. accept the fact that you got beat by a set that previously didn't exist and as such previously was not beating you. accept that the game evolves, the builds evolve, the players evolve, and your skills diminish.

    THIS IS LIFE!

    THIS

    IS

    SPARTA!!

    both sloads and defile (duroks bane) were on the meeting notes (i at least think so), since we talked about those with the devs.

    That guy is funny. Saw it a while back and got some chuckles. You've probably heard, too, that Sload's will indeed be officially nerfed in the near future.

    Yes, there is another broken build in the works. It's probably even worse. It's just not very common yet.

    You don't need Sloads to run that build, its basically the Warden Tank build anyone can run...Duroks isn't bad with it but you can swap in Fasalla with Duroks and do even better then Sloads in my opinion.
