I am generally a solo player in cyrodiil or at most, small scale. I've already seen a few posts about how this is becoming less and less viable with all of the new armour sets coming out with 1t.

Today, the first 4 people i encountered didn't really use any skills at all, i just got taken out by fear, light attack with procs (you can't break cc faster than procs hit you it would seem.) The 5th guy i encountered was slightly different.. he used procs to run me out of resources, then killed me because i had nothing and he evidently had a lot of resources. Sure, i'm a mag sorc running 6l/1m 5 julianos(divines,) 3 archmage(impen,) 3 willpower which immediately puts me at a disadvantage under today's new sets/meta, but at the same time, i'm AvA rank 31 so i'm not short of experience in cyro.

Unfortunately, ZOS seems to want to make this game so that anyone with a finger or 2 can play at a highly competitive level and i'm all for equal rights for people with less digits than the norm, but at the same time, where is the fun?? If i want to get almost instagibbed all the time, i'd play CoD or Halo or something like that but i chose this game for its depth and the requirement for some time investment to gitgud, not to just get smashed down by an array of pretty colours which is what this has become imho. If i wanted to see pretty colours, i'd go to a modern art gallery or a tropical arboretum, but i don't want to see pretty colours, i want to see some intelligent gameplay.

I've ended up playing on the non-vet server because people aren't so aware of the cheese market ZOS has to offer, only comparable with some of the larger supermarkets in our cities or dairy specialists, and its only a matter of time before it trickles down into even Blackwater Blade.

This is why i'm saying skill bars will soon be obsolete because they won't be required to kill someone. You'll choose how you want to kill someone by your favourite colour (ugh, not pink please) or perhaps by how many nanoseconds you want it to take for someone to die because that's the level it is getting to now. I'm welcoming all gitgud/l2p comments and also the "if you can't beat them, join them" comments but i'm sure the less skilled players out there would welcome the nerfing of skill bars because using skills used to require more skill when we had limits like softcaps but it is definitely gradually becoming a no-skill bar by the looks of things.

Now i've added 3k hp and i'm using a 7.7k damage shield making me over 30k in total for how much damage i can take with shield up.... when a proc hits me properly, i'm being left with 6-9k hp and a potential heal of 5-6k from blessing of restoration if i can even get to my resto bar before another proc hits me or perhaps a jesus beam (take your pick) It looks like the age of the moron is upon us people! Those of you who like good gameplay and aren't bothered about killing people using pretty colours are doomed!

Edited due to incompetency of OP: I hope your eyes all get better soon!
