Bow+Oakensoul has ruined any semblance of game balance.

Not in PVE, it is (again) a PVP issue. PVP in this game will never be 100% balanced and that is a state to accept.

Half of the problem in PvP is players not gearing for it properly or putting defensive skills on their bars. Many players think it’s fine to spec for max damage and expect to survive vs a properly geared toon.

Oakensoul is overpowered but it is only making it more obvious which players are geared right and which players aren’t.

I hear properly for PvP.

The people I play with gear properly for PvP.

Content creators talking about the ring gear property for PvP.

These are people that have played PvP for 6/7 years. They know PvP and have seen every meta.

So it's not just people who don't know what they're doing who are saying how strong it is. It's experienced PvP players who are saying it too.

.Why is it the PvP players that ask for nerfs? Simple, target dummies and NPC’s can’t make forums posts.

Based on some of the threads on this forum, that's debatable.

It was that way before but something has happened. Last weekend I was playing BG as usual, and I face the same old people as always the last two years. All of a sudden this DK that is fairly good one shot me with a inferno heavy attack. I have the screenshot at home on my comp, I think it hit for 33k. Why is that a problem? Well I am sitting at 31.5k health, 32k resistances AND vamp stage 3. IF that is not enough to survive against what I think is an optimized oaken-heavy attack build then what is?
Sometimes I can survive quite long against three people beating at me so it is not that Im not geared up the right way. People whisper me sometimes to ask me what Im running since they had trouble killing me.

This guy MAY cheat cause after 1-2 years playing with him he all of a sudden came into BG's doing this. OR it's oakensoul that is being too op.

IF one item makes 30k health and resist plus stage 3 vamp obsolete then maybe it's time to remove it from pvp for a while and see IF something changes... Quick and easy problem searching

But hey Ive been playing since beta and I know by now that ZOS will never make things as good as possible. They were more determined before when the game was new. Sometimes I ask myself why I keep playing this game and even read this forum

This is a heacy attack DK, and they've been around for a few patches because Zos missed one of the sets that enable this playstyle when trying to nerf it a while ago. It isn't a result of oakensoul, but oakensoul is making these builds easier to do. To get rid of these builds Zos would need to nerf the other set or nerf corrosive/molten armaments
