Engine Guardian pet is destroying the game balance of PvP

So of all the problems in PvP right now you have settled on...Engine Guardian? A base game monster set? One that has been around forever? Not DC, or lag, or zergs or unkillable ball groups or cheating or wildly uneven population...Engine Guardian...OK I guess.

>lag, or zergs or unkillable ball groups

Cyrodiil problems, not PvP.

Fair enough, I don't do battlegrounds so...

Only becasue those things are (arguable bigger) problems doesn't mean that Engine Guardian isn't also a problm that should be looked at

This has to be a mile down on the list of things. Not because its not an issue, but because there is a lot of just awful things for PvP right now.

This is a very nasty bug with this set, EG is still constantly running back and forth and appears too often, thereby he resumes his hp and it is simply pointless to kill him, because he will appear from any button press with a high probability again.

Let at least such a trifle be corrected

After it goes away, there's only 4 seconds before it can pop up again. You're probably just seeing it fire shortly after cooldown.

Either way... Just bash it. That's why it's targetable, so you can interrupt it's resource restore. Everyone who runs the sphere is built to need that beam. Stop the beam and they are easily killable. Make EG not targetable and you can't keep them from filling up.

After learning how to set priority targets in ESO typically these pets that block incoming fire have become kind of a non-issue. If you're using a mouse and keyboard the default key binding is TAB and when you hit it while looking at someone they'll glow white. No matter what is in front of them, unless it's a wall, all your attacks will focus them over anything else.

Engine Guardian is not a problem. OP said himself that it makes people stay alive forever IN DUELS. I hate to rain on some of your parades, but dueling is 100% pointless and means absolutely nothing. The game should NEVER be balanced for duels, under any circumstances. The more important thing is whether it is OP in Open World PvP, and Battlegrounds. If you happen to 1v1 someone using engine guardian in open world, and you can't kill them, it's not engine guardians fault. It's yours. Tab Targeting exists, and aiming skills is a lot easier than you may it sound.

The ONLY class that is extremely negatively effected is templar, because the EG will sometimes absorb the main damage of Jabs, making the intended target take the 75% reduced daramge portion. But there is a word for that, it's called a counter. Checks and balances. Play a spin warden, spin cro, bomb cro, then it won't matter if something is body blocking the one single guy you are trying to Zerg down.

If you want to complain about something in PvP, complain about something valid.

If you tab target the opposing player, you shouldn't randomly instead hit their pet with your single target attacks.
