Heavy Armor: Still Pretty Crappy?

david.haypreub18_ESO · November 2014

Just wondering what the consensus is on Heavy Armor now. I tried it at launch but eventually, after months of frustration and no fixes on the horizon, I switched to light and did not look back. The buffs to medium seem to have made it considerably better, but I'm afraid personally I can't say the same about the very few things ZOS has changed about heavy armor lately.

So, I'm just wondering: what do you think of Heavy Armor? And is there any word on whether ZOS now considers it 'fixed' now?

I think they are still finishing with medium before focusing on heavy. I also use full heavy and have the best survivibility of any group I ever get in. Which is what it's used for.

If you're using heavy, with very few exceptions, you should be using a shield too. Blocking is a major part of any heavy build.
