non vet pvp wards

Azor_Ahaii · September 2015

Is there any reason why my wards absorb less damage in non vet pvp? I'm a level 40 sorc and my magicka and spell damage is much higher in pvp, shouldnt my wards be much stronger in pvp then?

Oh and my conjured ward absorbs only like 3.5k damage but outside cyrodil it absorbs around 4.5k.

The changes to battle spirit affected Non-vet as well.

It entirely ruined non-vet PvP, but ZoS doesn't care about non-vet.

Because shields were seriously op in cyrodlil, the problem was Everyone had 20% damage mitigation, expect Shields were full strength, so someone could spam 10k Shields all day long, against people that have 110 weapon damage, I sat there earlier as an imperial templar, 4 of us were spamming wrecking blow/biting jabs at a sorc spamming Shields.

We literially couldn't even remove his Shields.

My friends left after 15 minutes of it. The sorc couldn't kill me as I just held block and he had very little damage. This is on ps4 so we still have full strength Shields.

Enjoy blocking when you guys get the patch. PC blocking is dead.

It's not Dead, you just can't sit there and hold it, it requires more passive buffs. Before anyone could sit and hold block for eternity, regardless of passives.

Now you're going to need sword and board, and full heavy armor for the total 50% reduction cost, along side champion points you'll get another 20% reduction.

To be honest my stamina bar barely went down, as the sorc spent more time spamming Shields to get crystal frags to proc more than anything. So even without regen I would have been fine, as I would use puncturing sweep inbetween and some heals.

From what I've seen on here, tanks are still doing fine in trials and endgame gear/pvp with blocking.

You'll see. No sense in arguing with you.

I'm not trying to argue, I'm simply pointing that most or the posts on here are "blocking is impossible now"

Yet there are the same number of threads saying "people are roll dodging for days and blocking for eternity still"

Not to mention the videos of people still managing to tank endgame, and all the builds being posted up on how to tank in update 7.

There was a really good post by someone that basically said how it effected them, he said "instead of roll dodging the whole way from brindle to ash, I just roll dodge, roll dodge then mist form/shadow clock and repeat from brindle to ash "
