    It’s a buff in every way and I don’t have the inclination to detail how every one of your points is wrong/ misguided. I will say, though, that 6% damage reduction is NOT a flat 6% by the time the multipliers all take effect. It’s about 2%. 4K resistance is better by far.

    I've never tanked so I won't speak from that perspective but from a PvP perspective those resistances will be useful, even if you're already capped without them.

    Exacly. In pvp even you go beyond the resist cap that seemingly useless resistances negates the enemy penetration. That passive basicly negates the Spriggan and Spinner sets at same time. How can you expect a dev to read all threads like these and take them serious.

    Look at those argumenets

    Well yeah when max % stats which were all over the place due to different builds then suddenly being curbed by flat values that nobody asked for. increases your health by 1000 instead of 9% which is a loss of 2.5k + health for most builds at 38k-40k health which now either needs filled out by a set or mitigate it in an attempt to make up for it.

    Litterally alls anyone actually got in reality beyond this dream tank illusion is 5 ultimate. So not even half of a light attack every 10 seconds.

    We lost health.
    We lost Stam (or gained maybe 200 depending on your stam pool)
    We lost damage reduction and gained 5 ult every 10 seconds.

    Woohooo more build paths. Woohooo 1.5 seconds of unpercievable ult gen because other sources are providing much more than needed anyway.

    yeah disappointing is an understatement.

    Races who had the most % stat bonuses or % damage modifiers were pushing every race beyond usable. It was all about stacking stats.

    I won't argue about ulti regen. I am speechless.

    You lost stats. Like almost everyone else...

    You lost a damage reduction passive that does nothing unless you wear light armor.

    But I agree with you disappointing is an understatement. You left me speechless.

    You really dont know what you're talking about. Nords got a massive buff (compared to other races). The flat values are a bit of a nerf, yes, but every race has flat values now. The ultimate gen is great for tanks, virtually making them bis for tank by itself. The resistance change is accually good too, the 6% damage reduction was bullsh*t and really did nothing because of where it was included in the damage equation, the resistances are easier and more beneficial because CP can be used elsewhere or you could wear a medium piece for more resources and still stay at cap, ect. Great change for Nords, basically everything is good except for the flat resource values which EVERY race got hit with.

    so you just replace it with a useless amount of spell and physical resist instead because everyone really needed more physical and spell resist right? as if no tank was actually at the soft cap at all... which is roughly what? 33k each?

    EDIT: Typo

    Bud. Any cp that was put into increasing resists can be put else where. The resist buff outweighs the 6% dmg reduction which was near nothing. The only thing that truly got nerfed was your max stat but everyone is getting that nerf and crying about it when it reality it is easily balancing the game out more and making more races viable.
