    Blowing through a templar's stamina then root into negate always seems to do the trick for me. Amusingly you had both root and negate on your bar. Just an observation.

    I might have figured it out eventually but I was laughing too much. Who goes to PvP to do nothing? I had 1 random guy Guarding me, 1 Reactive Templar walking clockwise round the keep and ANOTHER Reactive Templar walking anti-clockwise round the keep.

    Are they just out for a stroll, is spectator PvP the new craze? Same goes for the Viperdreth's but at least they have to press 1 button to be of any use on the battlefield.

    I purposely gimp myself on some builds, if it's too easy it's boring, the meta is boring and I like to be of use and help to get kills. I'll always at least attack someone and even my tankiest character still has damage abilities on his bar. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe PvP shouldn't be about skill and strategy?

    I think it should.be about strategy, skill and people working together.
    However it takes a very long time to learn this which I guess is why zerging, OP builds, and cannot die tanks are so popular.

    Playing for my faction (DC) has always been interesting because players there mostly rely on skill. I like to think that this is why the other 2 factions have to use underhand methods to defeat us :wink:

    If a player builds for defense and does nothing but focus on defense during a fight, they should be very hard to kill. The guys you were chasing were probably trying to get back to their group, so they can actually be useful. Alone they can't do anything as js clear in your video.

    I'm surprised you weren't ganked by some stamina build while you were focussed on the tank, as that is the other half of the equation usually.

    It really depends on the campaign. On a more full campaign there is less underhanded tactics going on but on buff campaigns it's all sort of greasy happenings.

    The thing you aren't getting is that they can be both.

    It only takes 5 pieces of blackrose... 5 pieces of viper, one proc based monster set... and you got both.

    I was on my blazing shield pve templar tank yesterday, watching the duels in Rawl'kha. Had heroic slash and pierce armour on my bar, had no intention of pvp'ing. Few people started challenging me so I accepted. Did not take very long to be called a *** and cancer. I was not even wearing plague doctor or anything close to optimized for pvp and people just lost their *** when I didn't even plan on pvp'ing with that toon, haha.

    The combination of malubeth and reactive together is fairly broken IMO and has been some of my most boring fights in pvp but in his defence he done absolutely no damage whatsoever and if you were smart you would have just walked away instead of wasting precious pots!

    I could have killed that guy three times over with a proper timed CC (not just spammed) and a buffed Soul Assault.

    Looks like another nerf sorc thread because they can both gank and survive till next week.
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.
