    Why not slot a heavy mitigation skill with extra benefits - is there a better skill to cover for mitigation?
    - at VR content while not beeing a tank yes blinding flashes not being hit by 50% of your enemy hits > than a 20%dmg reduction if you are effected at all thx to the small area. and regarding his video blazing shield and blinding flashes would have helped more.
    Why not slot the best dps aoe skill with cc elements - is there a better skill to cover for these roles?
    no but thats the problem, a rather awefull skill is our best option :D
    Why not slot the best single target heal - is there a better skill to cover for reactional healing?
    other classes can heal and dmg simultaniously healing at a lower lvl though but thx to better mitigation(not gtae bound) the lower heal is enough to stay alive while dealing more dmg killing stuff faster and dead mobs dont do dmg at all ;)
    There is no way to mitigate the whole damage without the need to heal. It may be the case on easy content like soloing a mob or two, but for an adequately challenging pull, there should be healing involved in some way or another nomatter what your armor and resitances are. You can reduce the needed hps to win, but you shouldn't expect to ignore this aspect. If you can ignore it - then the game has a much more serious problem.
    that is sth that i do somehow agree with content should be challanging but i dont feel healing should be the defining key to solve the content(and i´m saying that as a "healer") e.g. DAoC had a great way to circumvent this problem - each player contributing while attacking a mob reduced its absorbvalues, while mobs where litterally imune to dmg vs small player numbers reaching the intended amount of players made them killable as your dmg went from 0-1point to your normal 200-500... while not dealing insane amounts of dmg compared to health pools.

    If only other content scaled as well to group numbers (up to 5 or so anyway) as Dark Anchors.

    We do, Veteran ranks are only tricky on your own. Throw in an extra person and they are trivial. Why did you think I meant it should be easier?

    How is light armor and staff and exploit? If you can three shot them in pvp what are they exploiting?

    incase u havent noticed by now, the newbies in this game call everything they cant comprehend an exploit. or anything that ppl do more efficient then they do themself. or anything that doesnt involve monotone boring quest grind.....

    well basically if u dont play exactly as they demand you to play, your´re exploiting.

    since ZOS refuses to silence them for spreading that bull**** its probably best to just ignore their opinions entirely and not give them any undeserved attention.

    Exploit does not always mean "against the game rules or something"..

    Light armour and staffs is an overpowered tactic currently *pve-wise*, because magicka builds are superior to stamina builds due to game design. When people are aware of that and they keep using the armour-staff synergy to show off, it can be called an "exploit" because you rely on game mechanics rather than player skill to beat PvE content.

    Anyways how many "I solo'd that" video's we've seen where players using staffs and light armour?

    PS: I did not mean ANY offence to the OP on both of my posts. Just saying that this is nothing new concerning the current game situation. I believe that class ballance is not the issue, but magicka vs stamina. (And I'm saying that as a NB player)


    light armor+staff is the current fotm build. thats not even remotely close to beeing the same thing as an exploit. most of the ppl on this board throwing the "exploit" phrase around dont even know what an exploit actually is. infact in most cases their general understanding of the game or the mmo genre alltogether is so extremely limited that it would be better if they didnt post anything at all.

    Do you know what the word exploit means? It does not mean that you break the game rules. It means that you take advantage of something. (light armour and staff)

    Did you even bother to read my previous post?

    in terms of mmos or online gaming alltogether it means exploiting a bug to gain a certain advantage that shouldnt be archievable in the game by normal means. a very good example for this would be geometry exploits or duping exploits. using a combination of light armor+staff does not qualify as an exploit as no bug is beeing used. its just an unbalanced build, period.

    thx for your clueless uninformed input tho. now please never talk again until u have an idea what ur talking about. .

    How is it an exploit when it was designed that way? Light armor for mages - the passives marry well with the use of magicka. It's not like they give you perma magicka - Medium boost stamina and heavy heath - People can't help the other two are not working as well..

    Only I didn't use the word in the way MMO gamers use it to call someone cheater. I explained that in 2 posts yet you still don't get it. I can't further help. cyas.

    Oh- and it's what you're talking about. Not "ur"

    Why do I even bother? I explained in 2 posts that by exploit I mean taking advantage of something and not the modern day mmo use of "cheater".

    Some of you just can't help it but focus on 1 word and ignore the rest of the text.

    Sad...

    I'm sorry that your vocabulary seems to be so limited that you can't think of a single other word to explain your intent, other than something that has become almost synonymous w/ cheating through using broken or buggy mechanics.

    Perhaps "capitalizing" would be more suitable?

    Also, your post basically comes across as "well, that's cool, but you didn't do it naked w/ your fists, so it doesn't count".

    Grow up.

    You are correct, you put it in quotes "exploiting" my apologies if I hurt your butt.

    These posts need to be studied in a lab. The same dudes screaming for nerfs to DK due to soloing Craglorn are now trying to give reasons why this same rule does not apply to Templars.

    Now.... i realize these same people are good with nerfing the class they do not play. Also, said forum poster's believe their class should never be nerfed but.... wait.... where is the unbiased logic!!!

    ESO forums are surreal.

    Why else do you think only such small percentages bother with game forums?
