Shadowasrial

Choose below your primary toon that you play pvp. I want to gather some statistics on which class claims to be affected by sloads the most. If you are unaffected then comment your class below and say unaffected

Magsorc

Statistics will be skewed by whichever class has the most players here

They really should nerf Sloads to melee range only and non stackable

Magsorc

Mag sorc. Our defense is shield (useless against sload) and healing ward (useless once again), surge for those who have space for it (which heals on crit only, sure everyone crits a ton with all the impen armor -_-)

Ragnaroek93

Stamblade

Magsorc is the least affected if you actually have enough healing to not get killed by Sloads through shields only, simply because the damage gets splitted between health and shields...

Impen armor lowers crit damage; it doesn't reduce the chance of crits that you do. So Power Surge will still work fine. However, most Sorc builds run really low crit in PVP (~%30 or less) compared to ~50% in PVE.

Question is who is least affected by sload ? Templars , Mag wardens & NBs. Most affected are stamdens, DK & sorcs. Stam sorcs are most affected because of melee range and less tanky and healing. With low magicka pool forget bolt escape.
For NB its a boon and free kill. NB+sload+shield breaker , just die. No need to fight. WIth NB defiles, debuffs , CCs & poison injection ? Nah nerf sorcs and stamdens. We need kills without any skill.

they have 3 wards and 3 skill bars so, i mean. they're more able to fit counters on the bars than most others.

anyways. I'd say magblades are most affected tho. stamblades at least have shuffle and FM so they don't have to deal with being megasnared and unable to cloak

In fact sload is cheese set for stamblades & NBs. In fact Nbs should fight against nerf of sload. lol. Most of the time I not even bother Incap ultimate lol.

Naah, I couldn't care less if sloads gets nerfed, I don't use it, not will I use it.

I dont know how people argue NBs are most affected. As Nb , its cheese set. As NB you should attack from the back. NBs are not visible most of the time. NBs have dodge chance increase either shuffle or NB skill. In short sload will proc lessers on NBs builds than heavy armor stamden & stam sorc builds or DKs or shield stacking sorcs. When you block sload will proc more often than when you dodge. NBs builds are around dodge & escape. You can dodge oblivion damage hits. You cannot block it. A competent NB sniper not even know what sload is. Even a mageblade to some extent. Only NB sload will proc more often than opponents.

Despite all this NB have shadow image to escape.
Still NBs want to nerf sload just because they cant cloak ? Everyone is really happy.

Stamblade

I main magsorc, and I'm genuinely surprised it's in the lead. Magsorc has more counters available than Stamblade, which still relies on its cloak with a severely reduced magicka pool to survive, on top of dodge rolling for most, neither of which protect against DoTs.

I play all classes, and even while my stamblade is fine against Sload's in PVP, it is still potentially the hardest-hit by the set when used properly.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

Magsorc

M Sorc. Sloads is a hard counter to shield stacking, as the damage ignores the shields. The class least affected by sloads is magplar, because the easiest way to deal with an oblivion DOT is typically to simply out heal it.

BigBadVolk

Magblade

Magblade, magsorc, stamblade and light armored DK prob so anyone without heavy armor and troll king and such

PlagueSD

None of the above. The class that's most affected by Sloads is the one that dies to the proc.

Ectheliontnacil

Magblade

I would argue that both magblades and stamblades are some of the worst specs against sloaders.

Magblades primary defences are shields and cloak. Both of which are broken by sload's. For stamblades it's cloak and dodging, again countered by sload's.

Sload's hitting through cloak isn't the real problem though. Sload's taking you out of invisibility is the problem. It's not the sload's damage that kills nightblades, it's the fact that 50% of their damage mitigation is gone.

Nightblades do retain some healing to counteract sload's, in 1v1situations it's still possible to emerge victorious, even on a medium armour stamblade. Just play very kity.

But in outnumbered fights sload's is an absolute death sentence. And there's no denying that it's a ridiculous damage crutch. Mediocre players ascend to top tier level against builds that aren't suited to fight sloaders. Set has got to go!

Stamblade

I voted Stamblade but really both mag and stam. It prevents them from cloaking.

MrDenimChicken

This is so strange. Mag Sorc is most affected by Sloads, yet everyone on Xbox right now plays mag sorc for PVP.


So does this mean once Sloads is nerfed, Mag Sorc will be the most OP class at any point in ESO history?

I’m a light armor magdk. 1v1 I heal through it. 1vX, elusive mist, LOS and heal through it. Small man, we usually end up laughing saying, “They’re dead. Oh, I’m Sloaded” because you might be covered in the lil blue cloud.

For me, just too many heals for Sloads to really be effective. Particularly 1v1. But against anyone I’m able to reset the fight against not much of an issue.

I’d imagine Sloads would be problematic for Sorcs reliant on shields for damage mitigation and blades of both types reliant on cloaking to disengage and re-engage like those magblades who are pesky and hard to nail down.

Stamblades can suffer from Sload's since they keep spamming poison injection on me >:(

Gilvoth

None of the Above is my answer.

and by the way, the reason is because it is a weak set.
