    Damage shields and Blocks are way out of hand now in this game, they were bad before but 4 out of 5 attacks are blocked or absorbed in PvP.

    Not worth the aggravations or sub anymore.

    I have no clue, I get at least 3 block messages before I can land a hit.

    I dunno. My stamina is draining so fast I've all but given up blocking and just trying to outdamage before I get killed.

    Yeah; I am running a healer in medium armor now just because otherwise, theres just too much CC to cleanse, roll, or break free. Maybe its time to go heavy sword and board.

    I'm still using my 1.5 setup on my NB while I adjust. It is 5 medium, 2 heavy with 3pc Dreugh King, 5pc Hundings, and 3pc shadow walker. I used to use bow and 1h/shield, but now I'm doing 2h and resto, with resto bar all magicka abilities (2 heals, 2 dmg shields, and mirage), and 2h bar using ambush, wrecking blow, rally, impale, and reaper's mark. seems to work when i don't get two-shotted by templar radiant destruction or pounded on my 3+ enemies.

    heavy is still the most useless armor. Receiving 15% less damage, dealing 70% less damage and sitting in CC all day long because not enough stamina reg.

    Well; I guess that is the tough choice where I haven't quite decided.

    Medium you have some stam regen to combat a little bit of CC, but you are not getting the magicka bonuses of light either. I think I can only make it work for my healing as I can stack magicka and infused for the heals and gear for the regen and a little spell power, but don't need the penetration. If you go full stam; which seems to be popular, you're just adding your DPS pulling from that same pool that is being used for CC breaks.

    I feel like light armor was made just a little too squishy. You then at least have the magicka bonuses, but being so squishy along with also not having much stamina management to break free or get out of roots. You're just a single snipe or WB away from death at all times unless you cast shields constantly.

    But those sets don't really reduce the cost to block, right? Thought they just increase the effectiveness? So is it just a matter of the heavy armor, shield with defensive stance combo?

    Oh, did someone manage to block 3 times before running out of stamina? seems the cost should be increased a bit more.

    Only way to decrease the cost of Blocking is heavy armor, enchantments, and CP's. The mitigation is related to footman and cyrodiil's ward, not the reduction, so yea, yer right.

    I'm loving my stamina NB with 1.6, it's cloak>mark target>snipe>light>venom>heavy>venom> dodge roll>invasion>soul harvest>fear>crippling slash>Killers blade

    Wait, looks like I'm not spamming one skill. WTH?
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    Forget to mention the 20 dodge rolls in that... Looks like I am spamming something after all :smiley:

    Phew, crisis averted.
