Come on ZoS, look at all the posts! 0 Stam regen while blocking will ruin this game!

✭I have a question for those who have tested it. Frankly, its on my list to test, but I don't seem to have time to really find out. Plus I have an Argonian DK, so I have lots of OTHER PASSIVES that will still regen sta. (along with Bosmer, Kajiit, Redguard and others with racials that I dont know.. yet.)
Is it.. hold block and the passive Sta regen stops?
or
Hold block and still regen, but get hit while holding block and the Sta regen stops for x seconds and resumes?
I mean, I dont actually USE the Sta until I get hit.
Did anyone notice?

It is indeed healthy for the game. Nobody expects everyone to be fine with this change and everyone has to adjust his/her playstyle to adapt to this change. But it is not impossible.
There are great tools, snyergies, sets and abilities that players can use, that weren't used that much until now. This is a direct buff for many things in the game. Just like the Bolt Escape and roll dodge change was a rather indirect buff for some abilities.
You guys also introduced an interesting set together with this change, the Black Rose set which sounds incredibly strong and should support blocking. I even think, with all the available tools together, permablocking can still be possible, it only requires more sacrifises.AbraXuSeXile wrote: »ZOS_RichLambert wrote: »Couple things:- We understand this is topic that is near and dear to everyone's heart.

Not just about blocking but do you realise how annoying it is to relearn the game every patch from now till the end of ESO? Tge health of the game can only be fixed by softcaps, no game has ever managed to balance a Pvp/pve game with classed nevermind the option of stam/magicka and cp added to the equation. Star wars galaxies had 32 proffessions if i remember correctly and in the end they said screw it we putting them down to 6 classes as its unmanageable.
Youve effectively gave yourselves a lifetime of balance issues purely because some naive guy suggested that softcaps go. Most games are made for rock paper scissors scenario in a pvp enviroment, this is rock paper scissors lizard spock yoda bin telephone ukelele.
If we try calculate;
Gear combos
Classes
Pve
PvP
StamiNa
Magicka
Player skill
CP
Skills.etc
You will never do it, you will make us relearn a game every single big patch unneceserily. Whereas with softcaps you can actually get balance and work on content and bug fixing.
I really dont know why people suggest things to you as most the suggestions go out the window and you do your own thing and fix what doesnt need fixing and ends up borking the game. Hold your hands up admit the mistake and then start fixing bugs and adding content.
p.s i wrote this on my phone so ignore the mistakes
This game is about freedom and playing the way you want. Caps don't sound like freedom. The game has become much better after they've finally removed these horrible caps. Pre 1.6, everything was clear: Everything into health.
Now you can choose to spend and increase them the way you like.
People want to get the maximum out of their character, they want to push their strenghts as much as possible. Few players appreciate a balanced build, which is still easier without softcaps.

Just one thing.. I might actually phrase the decreased damage/heals debuff on the PTS in Cyrodiil now as putting a percentage softcap in place. So the removed softcap applies only in PVE. But, hey, thats just how I am looking at it from a dual PVE AvA person.Power level to CP160 in a week:

So if you block 4 or 5 times in ten seconds you might as well have held block continuously?

This sub forum is literally littered with posts RE: poor performance, crashing, etc. on the PTS. I don't know what game you're playing, but it isn't this one.
Also, I didn't even comment on the stam issue. As far as I'm concerned, as long as large fights at near unplayable at peak hours, it really doesn't matter what our skills are supposed to do because they won't actually do it.Invictus

It depends what is the interval between your blocks. If there is 2+ seconds you will get a regen tick if there is not you will refresh the stamina regen debuf and wont get the tick.I_killed_Vivec wrote: »

Hears-Ghosts✭✭While im happy to see perma-blocking go away, I cant help but wonder if the problem is just another case of bad math in the Champion System that could be boosting reduce block cost and regeneration to high. If so then this change would just be treating the symptoms and not the cause. I think this would be worth testing if someone hasnt allready.Edited by Hears-Ghosts on August 13, 2015 3:08PM1 -

- Stamina regen needs to be useful for tanks.
- Either fix the content so you don't need to perma-block or make perma-blocking not require gimpy magika builds.
I don't understand how you can stand so firm on such a drastic nerf to an entire class. If your going to nerf something that hard that didn't need it, you should at least throw them a bone. Give them something to work with. Not just you'll figure it out. Yeah we have workarounds, but not solutions, because this nerf was very poorly done. It feels more like a hack than a fix.Edited by Stalwart385 on August 13, 2015 3:27PM8 -

False. People who agree never use reasoning. It's always "this is the best" or "I love this change ZoS". Which tells me they are PvP burst builds that rather not state why. My comment above yours is example of giving reasoning without hyperbole. There are many, many well laid out reasons why this change was poorly done.

Probably because they play a class that doesn't rely on block to defend themselves against over powered abilities that are still over powered thanks to blanket nerfs and not individual skill tweaks.#HowDoYouLikeYourDK?1 -

I beg to differ. Many of us have pve tank builds and frequently tank in dungeons or trials.
We want more tactical gameplay, which Zenimax gave to us with this change. Many things in the game are usefull now and having more diversity can't be unhealthy for a game.Auri-El is my lord,
