Stop Encouraging Tanks in CP PvP

SkysOutThizeOut

Why are we rewarding setups or builds that are tanky with damage? When a player in cp pvp can tank 15 players or more, some of the players are all damage, it’s not okay. Sure they don’t do damage, but I’ve seen groups of 6 tanks cap a keep unable to kill any player but unable to be killed. When you multiple 1vXing sweaty tryhards and a giant pug zerg whaling on one guy and if they kite they don't die and if they hold still they still survive for a full minute... that doesn't seem balanced. Some of these sets like the major berserk one or the the one giving 440wd and 5k pen being below 50% health are encouraging people to go super tank and sustain everywhere else because theyre getting "damage."

Or just plain tanky with no damage in a ball group of tanks... Or run around a tree blocking for 10 minutes until zerged down... All this encourages is players with zero skill to continue using ridiculous health tanks in PvP that contribute to the while block problem....

I swear ZOS are encouraging zerg fighting with block and one skill spamming as opposed to actually having or using any of the skills in this game.

So many people complain about Zerg and Ball Groups, seriously, there will always be something they can abuse, thats the nature of running around in a huge group, you can't possibly expect to survive 5+ ranged players swarming you with timed ults and cc's. You should die.

I have no idea why people expect to 1vX or why people chase tanks. Just dip away, don't bother with them. All of these 1vX videos online have 7-10 "noobs" light attacking with a bow and standing around doing nothing off the objective. I can't help but feel like I'm watching someone fight super easy mode npcs.

/Mini rant..

Don't even know what changes your refering to OP. It would be nice if you provided context for your argument.

There are way too few tanks in the dungeon queues. Tanks should be encouraged.

In PvP They should take the WoW approach, if classified as tank you take 25% more damage.

i.e. if health above 30,000 or if resistance above 30,000 or something.

I said take the approach. Why do we encourage people to hold block and take 30+ people to hit it? Use the Battle Spirit buff and make nerfs with it.

I don't care for "Its not WoW" you're right, WoW combat team has knowledge of their own game.

PS4 EU has a very bad issue with EP nightcapping . All tanks with ridiculous health and no damage. They bring a full bar of them on and pretty much troll the map bullying everyone that may only have that time to play, to leave. It's every night and it is getting to be a joke. It completely ruins the map. They stay on all night holding the map until numbers pick up and then they ball group 🙄. Another reason people quit...
