What kills stam dk's?

PancakeHead

Hi,

Does anyone know what, if anything, is the weakness with stamina dk's? In Imperial City the last few weeks, almost every one I've come across, including those clearly not set up to be decoy tanks for gankers, have been impossible to kill without at least three players. There's one guy who is set up as tank where I saw at least twenty people attacking them and it took probably five minutes to finally get them down (on the PS4 NA server). This may be due to a lot of players flooding in for the event but even regulars from other alliances look like it's a constant struggle. If you were going to focus on a specific attribute, like health drain poison, penetration, etc., what tends to be their weakness?

Timing burst and stuns. Large pve groups always struggle to do this, I assume because they are just used to parsing or whatever.

You send them a whisper and tell them stam whip will never be a thing.
They will die instantly.

Well it depends on the kind of tank it was.
If it was permablocker, use fear. These usually tend to use thews of harbinger and some other sets that proc of blocks (like battalion), so placed and ground dots with just heavy attacks would do best to keep usefulness of their sets lo. Oblivion damage as well.

If it was LOSer, CC and coordinated burst. If they are running around an object endlessly, place traps around and/or negate it.

This.

Also Dark Convergence. When Break Free, Dodge, and Block don't work because of lag, and there's 40 people spamming Dark Cancer, there's not much you can do. I don't think I've died to anything else since the patch.

Well that would make sense if they are trying to kill the best tank in eso, welcome back!

regardless of class if someone has decided to be a pvp troll tank, not much you can do.

I have had decent results with Resto Staff heavy attacks with stam drain poisons out of his AE range, but it takes a few folks helping. Depending on the tanks gear, if the zerglings are standing in his AE's I just walk away, because it is going to be impossible to kill him due to all the people trying to kill him, keeping him alive.

Thanks for the help. Kind of pathetic but hadn't even crossed my main to use drain stamina poison.

Defense is the best offense in this game. You learned the hard way.
