My combat log had about 30 of those over a one minute period trying to kill him...

Fire staff heavy.

How much damage does your funnel usually do? If I didn't miscalculate and all damage debuffs are working as they should, I end up with a maximum of 98% damage reduction if the attacker doesn't have any CPs in increased attack damage.
So if you do less then 5k damage with funnel against a naked npc everything is fine. (He should be able to deal any noticable damage such a tanky build).

@lolo_01b16_ESO My funnels hit the guy beside him for about 7.4k (non-crit).

How do you get to 98% reduction?

If you theorycrafted from the perspective of giving up everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING, for taking as little damage as possible it could probably be done with a nord.

I actually reported that guy yesterday, first time I've been bothered to send a report in on someone. Just got sick of fighting him. I've fought him multiple times everyday for the last week, and it's the same story every time. I have 4k spell power buffed. The highest my funnel health has crit on him was 500 damage instead of 7,000. He had no shields up at the time and this is with him at full health so he wasn't even getting the undeath passive. It's the same story with physical damage to.

The worst thing is he plays amongst other EP players that are playing the objective. It requires 10 people to focus him for 3 minutes to kill him and meanwhile he is spamming breath of life on all the EP that are near him. It completely changes the outcome of fights. We all have to ignore him and kill the other EP and out DPS his heals on them and leave him until last. The other day he was repairing walls behind us etc and can't be killed. Resurrects EP. Continuously sets up siege on the scroll. If there is something annoying an unkillable player can do, he'll do it. Gets old fast.

Oh and if you do kill him without him mist forming away, he comes back to life with phoenix set GG.

Zos will probably come to the conclusion that 'he's just a good player'.

Was just theorycrafting, maybe it doesn't work, but I was thinking of this:

Battle spirit * Armour hard cap * Blocking * DK * Footman * Defensive Stance * Reactive armour * Circle of Protection * Nord * Minor Maim on opponent * 100 Cp in damage reduction, while the opponent has non in increased damage

=.5*.5*.5*.9*.88*.92*.65*.92*.94*.85*.75 = 3.26%

Add a Veil, a Standart, being a vampire at low health or replace blocking with mist for and you'll and up at about 2% damage taken.

Btw. Standing in your own standart and in a friendly veil in mist form at low health you would end up with 0.6% damage taken.

Interesting idea, but he's a Vampire Argonian Templar who keeps the damage reduction even while channeling jabs, so I don't think that's it. Never mind that he can do it while all alone and without a friendly standard or veil for miles.

Cyrodiil light + empowering sweep?

You guys have to stop trying to theorycraft this, its an bug/exploit... call it whatever you want.
The major problem about this is that ZOS does not punish players *** do this kind of stuff hard enough.

Would someone explain how my fully charged heavy attack against an EP player could do 40 damage...

EDIT: Additional info, it was not a VR16 toon. I believe it was VR9 or 10..

If it's a Templar whose name begins with a G, it's the same player as our favorite Sorcerer whose name begins with a B.

Yeah I said that to the others who saw this templar "isn´t he very much like that sorc B". To be honest, I was little more amazed at his sorc because at least he did some damage. Now I see a pretty good healer templar with no escape but mistform. At least the templar dies. Hello B. I don´t judge you. Based on the time you have stayed in the game you must have some legit way to do this.

ZOS needs to man up and permaban people when they have evidence from a wide range of players that are all not affiliated with each other.

He wears a five piece phoenix. It would be impossible to have that set unless there is another exploit that allows him to have both.

What if Cyro L. is active although he is not wearing it? *cough* Mundus exploit memories *cough*

Somehow he stacks the mitigation without having the set on him.

I'm pretty sure it's some bug like this, yeah. I no more expect ZOS to ban this player for some armor switcharoo tricks than I do all those players who stacked Mundus stones, and there were a lot of them. If it were "legit hax" they're more likely to just go full out godmode instead, it's not like they're not already drawing scrutiny. So probably some armor trick mixed with skill tricks, idk. Very fascinating.

I won't resub till that POS is banned.

Same problem, Crown against the same person. But he is not the only one who is using that exploit as the entire group that he runs with has not been taking any damage despite all the AoEs us Blueberries can muster. I don't mind a good fight but the exploits are destroying PVP. They have already killed some of the campaigns and are well on their way to killing the rest of the campaigns. No need to fight if you are being overran by the same 60 Cherries every time you try to recover your scroll keeps when you only have 10 people in the group and half of them quit due to frustration.

Yes... not too difficult with certain gear swapping addons either.
