To sword and board as a Templar , not anything to do with dk's

Will to play has decreased much, hell I've been playing defiance ...it's that low.

What nerfs?

Wish someone would nerf these forums and ridiculous polls.

i'm curious why they don't buff the other class skills to counter instead of lowering skills...

They broke the morph "Choking Talons" when the nerfed it. ("Burning Talons" morph is ok.) It now takes the magicka cost TWICE when you cast it! (You can cast it if you only have enough magicka for one cast, but it takes the magicka twice if you have enough for it.) Needless to say this makes the skill unusable since it kills all your mana. It's been a month and they still haven't fixed it.

This never should have been nerfed in the first place. A limit of 6 targets like other AoE skills was sufficient. There was no need to reduce the radius as well. Nerfing skills for the sake of PvP balance is NEVER right!

I'm tired of these losers at ESO. The only thing they know how to do is release broken stuff, and break more stuff.

My DK has built for heavy armor and melee weapon damage, and is VR3 at the moment. I've more or less put that character on hold while levelling a sorcerer instead.

What nerfs? I think DK is very balanced atm especially because we are the target class. You see a DK on the field..or Im seen on the field and recognized as a DK and ten ppl are on top of me.

Personally id like to see ppl who use bows try something else as a secondary. I swear every bow user I see stays in hide while the DKs and templars slug fest it out.

If they didn't nerf them more would quit.

Yea I didn't mind being tanky either, (loved the heavy armor) I just couldn't get the hang of tanking in this game. I couldn't seem to hold aggro well enough and got tired of chasing the enemy's around. I've always found the enemies go after whoever is doing the most damage, since that is not the tank, and I am not very good at running, had to switch up. As far as PVP like your talking about, I wouldn't know. I do think a medium armor wearing bow user trying to "slug it out" with ten people on top of him would be silly. Bow users wear medium armor for the crit chance boost which they would not get wearing heavy armor. Range means far away and since the bow has a passive which increases the damage for further range hits, that might be why they stay back. I dual wield with a bow as my alt now and wear medium armor. I am a DK and "slugging it out" is hard for ME because of the armor change, I am decently happy with the damage though. If your happy with the way your toon is playing then I'm happy for you, however there are a lot of us that are not quite as giddy. I said it on another thread and I'll say it on this one for good measure, I personally play the game to have fun not be frustrated and for all of you who enjoy the massive challenge, there are ways you can make it harder for yourself (play naked or something) but there is no way for the rest of us to make it easier so try to be a little more understanding. Not every gamer enjoys getting Rekt. As far as the nerf's..... troll the past patch forums and you'll find them.

No, but the nerfs to sorcs are making me think about it.

Eh, what? I realise that this thread is two weeks old and no nerfs have been made recently but still, even as a dragonknight caster (VR12, pvp-player) I find dragonknights to be ridiculously overpowered. The damage that you can deal using the standard, impulse (elemental ring) and burning talons is immense. If you have a single target, you just have to swap impulse for molten whip. Add the rooting effect of burning talons, the fiery grip to the mix and you have a target which cannot escape you. Furthermore, you are also close to immortal just by having the dragon blood ability slotted. You get 3k armor using light armor types if you add the razor armor to the mix (for a couple of seconds, but you get 2k armor for 20 seconds anyways). The only way to kill you in less than 10 seconds is to stun you with ambush or something else from which you can't get out with interrupt and even that can be prevented by using immovable skill from heavy armor tree. So, as a conclusion your character is a light armor tank with tons of mana, armor, spell resistance and healing power (even without restoration staff) and can annihilate any target within 3-5 seconds just by yourself given that you have ultimate. At my best I've won a 1 vs 5 fight where all the 5 people attacking to me were in the range of my standard of might. Sure, there is obviously a reason to quit the game due to the dragonknight nerfs.

Yes, sorcerers have bolt escape and they can escape most situations due to that, but has there ever been a game where the only teleporting class is not whined about? Bolt escape is not really that big of a deal, honestly. If your opponent escapes, you have already won whether you get credit for that or not.

So some DKs are upset that they can only tank 3 people at a time now rather than 5?

Are they seriously trying to make pvp better by hurting pve. this makes me sad. Anything cool on a weapon or an armor will be gone if they do this.

I just leveled a Dunmer DPS DK into VR. Already have a NB at V10 and a Sorc at V4. I am sincerely expecting them to slap DKs, especially Dunmer ones, up more with a nerf bat. In no way do I want them to, but in the realm of reality - more DK nerfs inc.

That and in the last road ahead the dude said DK nerfs are coming, but they are not being nerfed "into Oblivion".

Sure.... I believe him... uh-huh.... can't wait...

NO, but the basic design has frustrated me to the point that I have given up on my heavy armor DK. I went heavy armor S&S all the way to vet10. The reality seems ( I say seems as I don't have addons to show numbers) that heavy armor does virtually nothing to mitigate damage and using melee weapon has enough posts already to show the lack of efficiency. I like the heavy armor/melee play style for most games, and it just isn't well designed in this game. To much advantage to go staff staff with light armor, and just to weak to go heavy/melee
