Turtles

ThePhantomThorn

Ok how do I deal with turtles.

Yesterday I duelled a medium armorers stamden. I have good damage (I’m using grimhollows pvp stamblade) I usually melt people. Now this player basically just held block the moment I went offensive.
Yes, I stun them but they just go straight back to blocking.
I can’t kill them through block if they have the sustain and healing of medium armour.

Eventually I died to dswing and sun assault combos (the game was a little laggy so the dswings hit me even when I was behind him lol)

Any advice?

Wait for dizzy nerf and try dueling them again.

penetration, Pressure and burst, use a stamina drain to reduce their resource pool, use a CC that cant be blocked use DOT's to so they take damage while blocking, light Attacks............not sure what else to suggest Turtles can be killed just takes time

That’s what I do. The issue is he had insane sustain and healing. So I couldn’t just outlast him.

use a damage Stamina poison (increase targets stam cost by 10%) with Truly Superb Glyph of Decrease Health glyph, try running night mothers(Major Fracture) and Spriggans (extra Pen) with sharpened weapons (mace) for extra penetration, stack some cp into Siphoner (Damage from light and heavy attacks reduces the enemy's health, magicka and stamina resource restore and recovery for 0-25% for 3 seconds)
best i can offer you

It’s likely that you are too heavily invested in single target burst damage. You say he has lots of tankiness and healing. Well in medium armor, a stamwarden should get shredded by a stamnb damage combo. The fact that he landed a dizzy swing on you is a problem, I know you say there was lag but you cannot allow yourself to be hit with a dizzy swing wombo combo while you’re playing a build that doesn’t invest in defense much at all. Perks blocking shouldn’t be an issue since you have fear

hmmm... a solid build to be sure.

In general, I suspect that you're probably too close to him. If he is just holding block, then he has a new disadvantage: speed. Capitalize on that and stay back at range- it will allow you to maintain relentless (for that 10% defense), and keep you out of harm's way. Once he tries to go offensive blow him up, then when he swaps back to defense fear him.

If he never breaks defense to approach you then he'll look and feel silly. It's kind of a win-win.
