Block and stamina regeneration nerf to not effect heavy armor ?

t.claudio.usnub18_ESO · July 2015

With the upcoming stamina regeneration nerf coming I have a few problems, first I like the idea for the most part but not for heavy armor, why not let heavy armor regenerate stamina while blocking, you can tie it to a heavy armor passive "something like with a full set of heavy armor you will regenerate stamina".

If you are wearing 5 or more pieces of heavy nothing changes, every armor type has it's perks when wearing 5 or more pieces of that armor, medium armor gets a damage bonus, light armor gets a spell pen bonus and all heavy gets a a block reduction as it is now on live, my tweak would be cut the block reduction in half and add stamina regeneration with the passive "bracing" to read something like this...

Bracing:
WHEN A HEAVY ARMOR SET OF 5 OR MORE PIECES IS EQUIPPED
Decreases stamina cost of blocking by 10% and allows stamina regeneration continue while blocking.

I'v already made up my mind to respec into a tank with the lack of stam regen because new meta is always fun. I'd much rather take a decrease to block cost per heavy armor piece equipped instead of having stam regen back.

I kind of agree with this.

I think the change will really kill certain aspects of pvp being that you can't actively block when the lag/latency is bad, which is most of the time when things get heavy in pvp.

Maybe they should do a combination where you can regen half your stam rate while blocking when using a sword/board (which would hamper people cast blocking with staves, dw, etc) and then half with the Bracing passive. Then together you'd get the full regen. (Or maybe do 30% and 30% or similar and still have it hampered a bit even with both).

without the stamina regen on block maybe they should up the block damage reduction to 30-50% on the passive bracing to help offset the lack of stamina reduction instead?

Or maybe tie it to 2 passives, swap the passives giving the damage reduction on block tied to the passive from 1 hand shield "Battlefield mobility" to 20% block reduction and change the heavy armor passive "bracing" to include stamina regen & increased movement speed while blocking?

Makes more sense, if i was blocking with a shield I would block more damage wouldnt I?

Oh NB's are going to be even more awesome tanks.

They had to do something, mainly because from the start heavy armour and stamina builds were rubbish and so all we got was "sticks and dresses" - even for tanks.

I didn't mind that too much because it was "play as you want", and offended people who said that tanking MUST be done in a particular way

Then they made stam builds viable and immediately introduced problems with perma-block and roll.

Now it seems they've gone too far. I doubt they will admit it's too big a nerf. They'll probably just nerf something like wrecking blow and so the circle turns...
