that's because of the damage reduction. How much time have you spent in actual PvP in this update?. the damage reduction pretty much killed PvP diversity, it now pretty much consists of Zerg stacking, Prox det and Steel tornado spam with little else in-between.

You forgot the Caltrops and Ice Comet.

I know it sounds like I am complaining but I don't hate the changes I feel somewhat neutral to many, but I know that there is a long way to go for balances and improvements, and I hope that they don't take too long to implement them, because as things are right now, zergs rule even more than they used to and many classes need even more re-adjustment than they did before the patch, and before the patch they needed a LOT of re-adjustment.

I might sound like a skillless noob for saying this, and I am a skillless noob. But if you guys hate zerging, stop crying for people to nerf builds meant to fight zergs, such as sap tanks, DragonKnight tanks, templar tanks, steel tornado (maces was the problem, its now fine), 1.5 negate, and Dynamic Ultimate Generation.

Very much agree.

Not true. Most/all of the people complaining would have been happy with fixes to double mundus stones, nirnhones, sharpened maces, etc and then see how that affected the game environment. I suspect that those changes alone would have increased time to kill to a point that would please everybody. However, if the time to kill was still to low, then ZoS should have addressed the specific skills rather than the blanket approach they took.

Actually, nothing of that would please the crowd. I did very well without any exploits or unintended mechanics, and my build had actually no spell damage bonuses at all, so there was always a lot of room for more damage if need be.
No, the actual problem was complex and usually described as "unlimited resources" on these forums. Resources are what was supposed to subsitute skill cooldowns in this game and it did pretty well until 1.6, imo. And when we now get resource problems, it is because defensive actions cost so much when you use them a lot, wich just favours the larger group and is actually detreminal to balance...
