(PvP) I feel squishy this patch

Grandchamp1989

Anyone else feel the same?

I believe they said they would take steps to make us more tanky, but I feel the opposit.

I have a Warden 28k resistances 31k health defensive cp passives, minor protection, health based heal and vigor.

Even if I Block with Ice staff the damage is brutal..
I used to be able to slug it out but I really struggle now with no real exit strategy (no cloak or streak)
Anyone else notice they feel squishy this meta?

What do you mean. Passive mitigation is at an all time high. I don't think mitigation ever came this easy without sacrificing damage and without building for pure tankiness. Only thing that hurts as a solo player is the healing nerf, but it is hardly noticeable.

Mitigation from CP passives
Extra mitigation from Battle spirit
Easy minor and major protection access
huge unique mitigation from psijic skill line if you choose to run it.
If you are a broken ass Necro, 10% mitigation on top of all these.

I mean how much more tanky can you get.

This patch feels amazing in terms of mitigation, I can run full damage setups and still tank well. Honestly I feel its all learn to play. Dmg mitigation did get buffed by 5% alongside the new ironclad cp. The new sets however are ridiculously strong. Wish you luck fam.

Take a look at what's killing you, and therein you might find the solution.

High resistance is no longer a guarantee for survival due to the Hrothgar's Chill set, which scales off your resistance (the more you have, the harder it hits). Some tanky players have responded by simply building for higher health and health recovery rather than high resist.

Doubt they'd build health recovery that high due to the 50% nerf. I know a couple went stage 3 vampire + health stacking and it made them incredibly tanky as a result.

Actually difference between high resistance and low resistance is minimal in terms of damage received from Hrothgar. Running high res will screw up your allies near you (because AoE damage is bugged and ignores battle spirit), but not you specifically.

You heal with vigor and block with ice staff. That might be the issue, right?

Sometimes you can be dead while spamming rapid-regen or healing ward on everybody but yourself..
