Resistances in Cyrodiil - XBOX NA Elsweyr DLC

LuciusOctavio

Just a general topic for discussion, wanted player feed back before I investigate.

I have been in Cyrodiil all this past week, fighting everyday. I have a feeling that my resistances just are not working. Several times I get cut down, super fast while blocking and buffed.

I even went crazy into all resistances to test it out, 43k Physical & Spell damage, 5.2k Crit Resistance and still get the same results. I am using the Necro, Tanky Heals (Utility) don't do damage but usually can take a lot. But since the update, I just crumble under 2 or 3 players, I'll have 15k health left over, while blocking then just implode. Instant death.

When I look into the damage, its all quite high. 9k and 8k, just feels like I am not mitigating.

Anyone else experiencing this?

We're you able to take more in the past? I know some pvp builds will stach quite a lot of penetration, that could be it. I think for that reason most survivability builds tend to focus a little more on resource pools & sustain than resistance.

LuciusOctavio

Yeah before the latest DLC, I could maybe survive an assault of 5-8 players jumping on me. I thought it was maybe penetration too, but it just seems like the mitigation doesn't kick in.

My resource pool is fine, I heal up, I use the Necro abilities to stack minor and major protection all while blocking and buffed. Doesn't seem to hold up.

Also siege, I have noticed when I die from oils, its around 18k damage, so feel as if I am not halfing this damage at all.

My build is a siegecro, stands on ram, siege shields etc. So I stacked resistances to be able to stand in the oils and keep the Ram moving. But just crumble now.

There are some new debuffs/debuffs people have started using, and new pots that do minor vulnerbility and also heal absorbtion. I have found that I am taking more damge as well once Elsewwyr was out for a week.

Could be it, I'll keep an eye on it, see if its just something not triggering. Like my necro abilities might not be activating on time or delayed.

I've had a couple instances on my stacked resist templar where i thought something wasnt right but i cant say I've felt that on my necro though

LuciusOctavio

I will test out a few of my other characters to see if its across the board, not just my necro. I just thought I was going crazy but seems like a few players are seeing a difference.

Keep in mind siege damage was buffed by 30% in CP campaigns, so that could account for some of what you're experiencing.

Yes I saw that in the patch notes, not sure if thats it, I'll buff Major and Minor protection on Ram with all mentioned Resistances above, and while blocking, I'll melt with a death recap of 18k Oils. 18k is what Oils used to hit on previous patch.

It shoud be more if the 30% is included, maybe oils hit around 22-24k without any resistance. So I should at least half this to 12k.

Don't know if its just buggy, laggy or something is simply not working.

It's just because you can't see most of what's hitting you. At least it's that way for me. Half the time, I don't even see my own vigor animation. The worst part is this is with a fiber connection which means the console optimization of this game is horrendous.

I've had better fights with Jedi dark Knight 2 on dual up than I do with ESO 2019.

I agree it has to be something to do with performance, since the update so much seems buggy with animations, siege equipment and abilities just not working.

On the Necro I can use all my abilities to get 51% damage mitigation, just doesn't seem to work. I back it up with 43k (buffed) resistances and 5.1k Crit. Doesn't seem to do much.

So going back to my Warden, DK and Templar to compare. But have a feeling its due to performace issues from the DLC update.

Have you seen your combat log? I fell the same like you, I always see my combat log, for example I see 4.5k light attack damage with Crystal Weapon and I have 20k physical and magical resistances with full impen. I allways see a lot of damege, is like my resistances are not working or some people is doing some to amplify damage send it from client to server
