I WILL NEVER GIVE UP TANKING

Anxileel · August 2015

This Nerf may stir others away from Tanking but I will always be a Tank even if I was to be the last Tank in the entire game. This change is absurd and extreme and what happened to choosing the way we want to play and why do YOU ZOS listen to a minority of people and NOT THE COMMUNITY. Tanking is a role for a REASON which is to control mobs and to take the damage for the group. Even if this thread gets ignored and buried beneath hundreds of other Threads I WILL NOT STOP TANKING but it isn't fair for other players who are Tanks or just starting as Tanks. What gives people like Eric Wrobel and the elitist DPS the right to say L2P how about you learn to play and be a part of this community and not against it.

We will still find effective ways to tank, no matter what changes they implement.

People will still need Tanks and us Tanks will need to stick together to resist this change.

I won't give up tanking either as I like to be the one to stand before the beast but I will pick and choose who I tank for now. Damned if I'm gonna drag loser slobs through dungeons anymore. All they are doing is changing out a minor issue for a larger one. "500 Dps and 20 healers LF1M Tank", the new standard chat for faction hubs. It sucks that ZOS broke the game with soft cap removal and CP abuse and now we have to be punished for their mess up.

Exactly these changes are absolutely absurd and they are practically shifting the blame on to us in some ways as well as the small percentage of DPS saying Tanks are the fault for PVP being boring whilst it is the opposite and we give PVP a bit more fun which is being seen Armored Hulk of Metal slowly advancing towards them and being taken down in a epic fashion.

Indeed Tanks are a role for a reason and they are weakening us because of it.

Mr. Eric Wrobel is pretty happy with this change

Couple things:
We understand this is topic that is near and dear to everyone's heart. It will take some adjustment from certain play styles that some of you have grown accustomed to.

We look at feedback from multiple places. (/feedback, /bug, social media, other websites, guild meetings...etc) Not just forum posts.

Like Eric has said a few times, we're pretty happy with the change - there might be some tweaks, but overall this is something we feel is a really good thing for the long term health of the game.

so every tank in ESO is now obligated to equip himself with those two piece of gear that will allow him to meet ZOS standards:

As soon as one of the tanks flinches and shows a little bit of frown ZOS will for sure find another way to "make us happy, not bored and make tanking more attractive" with wonderful morale boosters to tanking like for example "shield will break with every heavy attack so tanking is more interactive now that will require tank to carry 50 shields in backpack (without being able to swap them in combat)" or maybe "after taking damage tank will not regenerate health for 5 seconds" or maybe something along the lines of "heavy armor and sword and board will now reduce speed by 75%" so tanking will be so fun and tactical with tanks having to pick their own special spot (from which they wont be able to move a bit, will have to avoid damage and while watching dropping stamina bar, prepare to die).

With Eric these changes a likely to occur but I will never stop Tanking and I will stand against these changes with you.

I'm still gonna tank and always will reguardless of changes and IMO these changes are jsut gonna see who really is a tank and who isn't and those of us who really are tanks will stand tall un-harmed by the damage while those who are not well I hope you got pleanty of soul gems.

I have plenty of soul gems and I have planned out for the upcoming changes.

asneakybanana · August 2015

The change shouldnt really affect a tank. Only change is it makes you go more towards a stamina build than a magicka build which is fine since there are 2 stamina taunts and even stamina heals. It more effects the top dsa groups that run 3 dps and a tank/healer, because they will need to run a good bit more stam so their heals will hit for less and their ability to sustain heavy healing will be cut down as well. Also, I think the change actually makes tanks more important than before. Since it also stops dps from regening stam and most dps will have no block cost or any points into stam/ stam available to block with so if 2-3 mobs are beating on them they will go out of stam very quickly and most likely die. However, if the tank picks up all the mobs and the dps are free to do what they do the only person in risk of dying is the tank and with battle roar/ repentance and spear shards from the healer their stam management should be fine.

That is a good point but the 0% Stamina Regeneration still stands as being too extreme and honestly quite lazy on ZOS end.

Domander · August 2015

I think having a reason to let your guard down makes combat more exciting. Really good tanks will stand out even more.

Swarog · August 2015

I will always be a Tank too.
But it's very sad to see such terrible and unbalanced nerf.
Solution will be found (I'm close) but it will be ugly and will still regens stamina but other way and with less control and mobility.
ZOS I will remember this...

MaxwellC · August 2015

I really think what ZOS should have done is a account based vote on this home page.

They would send each player a message to log in with their PC,XBL, and PSN account to vote whether certain changes in the game would get implemented or not. This would give the gamers the power to carve out what they believe is best for the game they play, instead of just assuming based on various feedback that they account for the unspoken majority.

SeptimusDova · August 2015

How about as what someone said in another thread about speaking with wallets. Words on forums do not seem to make an impact. So maybe if all true tanks stop being an eso plus? I bet that will grab some attention. Of the things that were supposed to be addressed and were not. Of the things that were done to satisfy a few. Of the things that were nerfed Healz. Of all these things the members of my household all stopped being plus members at the same time. Yeah 5 subs no big deal. 5000 subs is a different story. Will we plus again. Ha! only if changes to stamina, Heals, and exploits are reverted or fixed. Until we may log in from time to time. But other than that nah. We got to much real life things to get into.
