While your assumption is correct, that it would be the most "balanced" form of PVP ESO has ever seen, it also dips too far to the other side of "balance". Balancing any game, especially one with PVP, should be about walking the line between "balance" and "fun". Just like there is a balance between "realism" and "fun", it's a similar concept here. Certain situations will always prioritize "fun" over realism, balance, etc.

That doesn't mean there shouldn't be balance, because there always should be balance. But when that balance starts taking away from the "fun" aspect of the game, that's when you need to stop and re-evaluate what you're trying to do and how you're trying to get there.

Under tuning or over tuning sets and abilities, etc to prevent certain builds from dominating is perfectly fine since it promotes variety. If there isn't one single OP way to play, everyone will just play the way they want to play using their chosen playstyle.

But what you are suggesting removes all playstyle options completely by removing all possible builds, since everyone would just be running around naked and the only differentiating factor between them would be spells slotted, passives, and race. While balanced, it also removes the fun of theorycrafting, building setups, and people running counters against each other.

Unfortunately there would STILL be calls for skills, spells, armor sets, (heavy attacks now 😂😂😂 ) to be nerfed. I LIKE PvP, but the King of the Hill mentality and forum nerf warriors killed it(for me) faster than any set or even performance issues.

I know, we would get to a point where there would be forum posts like "Blue Underwear is OP, when my opponents are swimming in water, they blend in and I can't see them...they have the benefits of invisibility without using potions or being a NB...it's too OP for PVP, nerf it NOW!!"

People will always find something to complain about no matter what changes are made, so the devs might as well focus on making the game "fun" for everyone instead.
