donJay✭✭✭So sad that people still call for a ban on fasallas. Either they don't know how to counter it or they do and chose not to. L2p. People want duels that protect their comfort zone and basic gameplay
Fasalla's counter any templar who decide to use ritual of retribution in a battle. I use ritual of retribution for extra damage and stealth detection. We are not allowed to respec skills during the tournament so I am forced to go for extended ritual to counter one set of gear, which is pathetic.
It's an mmo with gear based PvP. I've beaten every other fasallas Templar by: not using ritual when I need to heal or any skill for that matter. You aren't forced. You are choosing to take unnecessary precautions when all you have to do is counter play. I know it sounds crazy, but a 2 sec debuff that you can hold block through and heal right after is pretty straight forward. People are also complaining about fasallas because it protects their survivability tanky meta builds. In the rules, you can even swap skills.
I'm not worried about a templar using it. I'm worried about a dual wield dot builds or a magDK using it. I'm not going to go respec my morphs in Deshaan simply because I'm facing one of those using it. That set is over performing largely in duels.
I just broke down this argument in my previous response to you. You can literally copy and paste the strat to playing against fasallas against any other class. Your definition of "overperforming" is not being able to handle your own use of a specific morph of a skill against a player using a specific gear in a mmo where pvp is gear based. And your solution to your problem of not withstanding higher level play is to ban a set. Do you not realize what you're saying? Let's not make this harder than it needs to be
Give me a comparaison of any other set that counter a specific ability in the game other than shieldbreaker (shieldbreaker was banned from most dueling touirnament for this specific reason).
What does this comment have to do with our discussion of Fasallas? or in your case lack there of. Fasallas counters the survivability meta (which most builds are centered around) but absolutely contributes nothing resource or dmg-wise to taking out an opponent or their shields. You can still re-read my responses to learn how play against. Or hell, you can get the set yourself and I or anyone else can prove to you that you can actually counter play it if you put any amount of effort in. And your question is flawed anyway. It doesn't counter any ability. It counters the player who used the ability and/or the player who doesn't want to think in duels about anything else other than their dps rotation and heals.
Ps. Shield breaker is banned because shields are magika sorcs ONLY lifeline. They can't outplay It even if they tried because they don't have the tools. But we have the tools to play against Fasallas.(not attack for 2 sec). And if you are complaining ONLY because you don't know what do without your dmg purify morph for 2 secs, we have bigger things to talk about.Edited by donJay on October 9, 2016 12:26AMANIMOSITY BEST GUILD NA + EU

Are you saying that you think it's a good thing that fights are decided by what the players are wearing and not the actual skill of that player? If so, what's the point in even dueling if the fight is only decided by the person with the better build for the specific fight?
Idc if it's bad or good. You're the one playing an mmo. Play tekken or super smash if you want 1v1's where you can't customize your abilities or gear. You are literally asking for perfectly neutral no slight advantage whatsoever for EVERY MATCHUP in an mmo. Classes already have disadvantages against other regardless of armor. You want to comment on each matchup too? But if you want to comment on fasallas specifically, look at my previous comments directed to frozn.

That sounds like a fun set of rules, and since we now have dueling, maybe someone will organize a tournament along those lines.

✭✭For magicka users who use fasalla they give up a decent amount of dmg which is a fair trade off. However, stamina users using cassava give up almost no dmg regardless of what people might think. This is especially true for all classes excluding Stamplar who have no active stamina return through passives or skills.
In my opinion for duels fassala should not be allowed. There's are other ways to heal debuff that do not have a 100% uptime.Formerly @Persian_Princess .. Now @Asgari

People seem to forget that ESO was a game designed and balanced around large scale PVP. It makes sense that certain items and abilities can be balanced in the context of large scale PVP (20v20 and up) but unbalanced in the context of a 1v1, and since ESO was originally designed and balanced as a large scale PVP game, certain aspects are going to be unbalanced in the context of a 1v1. Since the ultimate goal of any tournament is to provide fun, balanced fights for it's participants and entertaining fights for it's spectators, it makes sense to ban certain items (certain sets, potions, poisons, etc.) that detract from this goal.
@OP, I definitely agree on banning Fasalla's. A 50% healing debuff that stacks with Major and Minor Defile and is realistically up for 80+% of the fight doesn't make for fun or fair fights.Edited by arkansas_ESO on October 10, 2016 9:31AMＦＯＲＵＭＰＬＡＲ

The issue with Fasalla's is that it's a very, very hard counter to most builds, like you've said. The set is so above and beyond any other options we have available that you'd basically be shooting yourself in the foot by not running it (and, in addition, shooting yourself in the foot by not playing a class with access to a cheap purge, AKA Templar)
For the record, I'm not a fan of the fact that so many builds can sustain resources indefinitely, and, if no-CP duels were an option, I'd likely play them exclusively. But keeping Fasalla's in the tournament isn't the way to go about it, as it will only serve to decrease build variety at the tournament.
