I think bringing back soft caps would be a lot better solution then the band aids of potential CP caps and the nerfs to damage, healing, and shields in pvp.

Currently we have 35% damage reduction, 50% healing, and 50% shield reduction in cyrodiil. The main reasons for this is to lengthen TTK, stop 1-shots, and bring the nerf hammer down on shield spamming sorcs.

What I have seen from this on PTS:
- TTK is ridiculously long or ridiculously short, there seems to be no middle ground
- it is even easier for a small group to heal through damage (with a templar healer) meaning a lot of small group fights end in draws.
- Sorcs can still stack 100% shields even with the nerfs
- Ganking is still happening (it just takes more than one), but since dmg is so low, it is impossible to fight back effectively if you do survive
- People can still dodge forever if they stack enough stam regen
- Healing with anything other than templar is pointless because key healing abilities have been double nerfed (funnel health and healing ward)

I think, instead of these band aids, the best solution would be to return to 1.5 softcaps, stop shield stacking, and bring back the 1.5 health multiplier. This would:
- reduce damage because you couldn't stack resources to oblivion (increasing TTK)
- get rid of the need to nerf things like dodge, bolt escape, and cloak because you couldn't stack regen like crazy
- make hybrid builds viable again (more play as you want)
- reduce the need to cap the CP system (because you are still bound by hard and soft caps)
- make racials more balanced again because 10% stat bonuses would be less important.
- make health bar larger also increasing TTK
- and if shield stacking is prevented, it would fix the sorc shielding problem and non-templar healers can still use healing ward as a viable heal
