Everyone will recognize this "fix" as not just a failure in that it shows how pathetic the game development is with regards to tanking, but, more importantly, the general failure that the developers have in their confused priorities and usual failure at communication.
ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote: »Hey all, we hear your disappointment and frustration over the recent fix to the Akatosh's Blessed Armor set, but it was just that--a fix to a bug. The set was never intended to allow players to blind boss monsters. All boss monsters are supposed to have a buff that grants them immunity to certain debuffs. In this case, the armor set was incorrectly bypassing that rule where no other sets or blind debuffs were. We are continuing to look at fun and meaningful ways to improve the tanking role in ESO.
Personofsecrets wrote: »Well the dev team doesnt have to look hard for suggestions. Even if blind on bosses isnt intended, and i could argue that blind should be able to affect bosses, but even if it shouldnt, then what about all of the other bugs and crappy parts of tanking that are allowed to fester for patch after patch?

ThatNeonZebraAgain✭✭✭✭✭Very interesting. Does Akatosh work on bosses though? Is there a way to test it? I thought they were immune to those kinds of debuffs (maim as well).

✭✭✭You don't loose much armor from having level 49 gear?
If this works on bosses, that's 5 seconds of no damage with a 10 second cool down. It might be worth it very much so.Main: Drio Azul ~ DC, Redguard, Healer/Magicka Templar ~ NA-PC

The scale of what you do depends what you are doing. I think that tanks should use both magic and stamina skills regardless of what they do though.Rest in Peace:

Yeah. There are great magicka skills (templar) for tanking, and great stamina ones too. The only problem with a hybrid is that my dps sucks a lot.0 -
