Changes to Sword and Board

Hello,

The decent nerf to the damage abilities for sword and board are too much. While i agree that they needed a nerf, it shouldnt be as much as it now.

The removal of many secondary effects from heroic are indeed needed but the overall damage nerf is too much.

Sword and board is by far my favorite weapon type. Cause it just makes sense to go into battle with it. I dont want to run around with duelwield or 2h. Sword and board should have its place as a dps choice for PvP. Currently on pts i have a 6k tooltip on ransack with 34k stam and 4200 wp damage. Thats not enough at all. Classes like stamdk and stamsorc still dont have a class spammable and need to rely in weapon skills.

Please ZOS, dont kill a whole playstyle that we used for YEARS in just one Patch.

I agree with heroic being overloaded and the defile on reverb being to much. But the overall damage nerf needs to get reverted. I dont want to play duel wield bleed builds or dizzy that barely hits and gets mitigatet by just walking out of range.

Change the damage nerf to 10% for each skill. This would be fine and not remove an entire skill line from PvP as a dps option.

    They can keep the dmg. It’s the two overloaded skills that needed looked at. Heroic slash and reverb. Dmg wise- whatever, the 400 secondary effects? No dawg.

    You don't get it.

    Use power slam, the new damage morph of reverbating bash intended as a spammable for S&B.

    Your stun is the new OP fear from warrior skill line.

    You can still be a [snip] and use heroic or ransack for what it's supposed to do : buffing you and debuffing the enemy.

    You can no longer have a spammable that buff you to hell and debuff the ennemy to oblivion + the best debuff on a damage stun aka major defile. That's call balance.

    You can do very good damage with the new spammable, then you have to dedicate a skill for buff/debuff.

    S&B still very strong, getting the best spammable from stam weapon because it's good damage and instant. + you can bash as a [snip].
