Blocking is too passive.

As the title states, i think blocking in PvP is OP. You can have dmg, and the best protection in the game with the holding of a single button without investing in ways to reduce the cost of block! SNB is the meta atm for stam builds and magicka builds for a reason. You get all the benefits of a dmg build, but none of the risks.

My solution is something that won't hurt pve players, and make it more fair in PvP. I suggest moving a 50% cost addition to block on battle spirit. PVP players are happy because block will have some negative to it, and PVE players wont get nerfed at all. However, block will still be at it's peak if you invest in it! No more full dmg builds that rely on the broken aspect of blocking.

Also, I'd like the mention that im not sure if it should be tied to block if you're not using SnB, or if it is exclusive to SnB. That's why this is a discussion. Any ideas or better ways it could be nerfed a bit is appreciated.

Ive heard that the cost of block has made it less of a just hold action.

I wont know for sure until tomorrow. But have you accounted for all the changes?

Remember when people used to complain about how broken proc sets are because they require zero skill?

I think people are just annoyed at how some of us know when to block to counter their dawn breaker burst combos.
