Dodge roll nerf and stamina management

With the Dodge roll nerf it has made resource management on stamina builds much harder to that of magicka builds. The problem before was abusing the Dodge roll mechanic, and frustrating other players. This was mostly due to players getting killed through Dodge roll via animation cancelling. With the damage being so low now, if that same style of play was used to kill one person I would imagine that this sort of fighting would not be able to be maintained since you would run stam a bunch because of the lower regens, and lower damage on top of higher reaction times due to the increase in TTK. What my real question to ZOS is if they tested what no nerf or a smaller nerf to dodge roll was like before putting it to current change. In live game yes it's too strong but so many variables have changed in this new game on the PTS so got me thinking that Dodge roll may not even be OP in this new combat system. Of course I'm not sure of this since we were smacked with a bunch of changes at once. I'm brainstorming here.

    Also streak CD starts as soon as you cast the ability whereas the Dodge roll CD starts about a half second after the Dodge roll finishes making the effective CD actually about 6s instead of the stated 4

    Agree the cooldown is too long. Roots OP.

    A legit 4 seconds would be better.

    Yeah, I'm seeing sorcs streak 3-4 times in a row, stack shields, and continue right now with the new patch. Meanwhile stamina builds need to roll about twice as much to cover the distance of a streak and run out of resources 3x faster while having none of the survivability of magicka shield mechanics. Everyone's rolling magicka builds in pvp now thanks to this.

    Just bring cc immunity in for root already. In the mean time, 100 points in mooncalf and 3 stam regen glyphs with stam drink.
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

    Yeah I also believe the survivability disparity will become more prevalent once it hits live and we see how much weaker Stan builds are in open world. Right now the majority of testing is done in Imperial city which is close quarters and even here the nerf hurts a ton, and this is where rolling should excel. I hope something is done before it's too late.

    I think this dodge roll nerf is complete bs and i dont know how to compensate for it. Dodge rolling is critical to stam nb survivability. If i fail to dodge attacks i die plain and simple. Tanks have high health and heavy armor so they can stand there and blocks and take hits, magicka users have all of these damage shields and insane heals as their defence. My only defence is to dodge attacks and between attacking i can only manage a couple of rolls before im completely depleted of stamina. Does anyone know what to do about this

    zos need to change well-fitted to decrease dodgeroll cost, or decrease the the penalty for dodgerolling. would make the trait more useful, give players the freedom to sacrifice other traits so they can still dodge

    I've never abused rolling but there's been plenty of occasions since the patch I've had to roll 3 times to get out of harms way. Is rolling 3 times consecutively abusing ? No I don't think so either yet it takes half of my total stamina . Someone called out a guy last night and I quote " he's just effing rolled about 4 times there get him stunned ". So we turned him into a training dummy before killing him . It's a terrible change imo we're being punished for avoiding damage
