Stam roll out often don't work, blocking don't work unless your a shield bearing player. Just my thoughts as a level 610 I am getting disgusted with the utter stupidity of this games mechanics. You guys create 10 million stun locks which cost enormous stam to break, only to have it reapplied over and over until you run out of stam, then get killed unable to fight back. What is the sense of trying to gain skill in using abilities and class. Only two things matter now. Stun and Stam.

What are the defenses? Line of site, when half the time it still gets a tick or two? Purge? Then they just spam it till you can't purge? Bash them? While the range greater than any gap closer?
I play a magic templar every once in a while and know it's a bull skill

I'm sure more I have forgot. Plenty of ways to defend against it.
The good thing is there are loads of templars that spam it and it barely tickles unless used when opponent has low hp. I'm a pvp heal templar so I don't bother with it. I've had 4 on me at a time and easily healed though it while healing my whole group.

Ofc it doesn't when your a heavy armor s&b healbot.
When your spamming BoL (usually for no reason) and holding block nothing can really damage you.

spamming bol=death for a healers group when he runs out of magicka. Perma block=death for the healer when he's out of stam. BoL is the last layer of heals, after springs, ritual, and rapid regen. Spamming as a healer gets you nowhere in pvp. It's a great panic heal though

yeah man, made for large groups, kagrenacs, transmutation and troll kings, it's great with a coordinated group. Resto ulti just when they gather to EoTS, then hunker down and heal. the *** out of the groupEdit: Springs is awesome for magicka regen in pvp, combine with resto attacks and you regen sooo fast

Why am i having a conversation about beam with a guy whose only character is a magicka templar and who only runs around pvp in zergs spamming heals.

wrong on 2 counts:
1. It's not my only character
2. PVP healing is far from just "spamming" heals, if that's how you do it, you're doing it wrong. It requires a massive amount of situational awareness and prioritizing.
But as you wanna be the rude *** who is automatically dismissive when someone tries engaging in a conversation and brings up valid points, then jog on, sausage tiits
It's not a CC. So just heal through it. If you die just to JB you're just bad.

This is mostly true, but there is problem with LoS, or maybe its lag related problem. Very often i LoS behind tree or rock, but beam does not break immediately, rather tick one or two more times.
IMO it should be dodgable - every other execute in game is, right? And mostly, when you are gettign executed from 30+ metres, you cant bash, and blocking seems useless.

... Serious?
Beam is the only execute i bother taking notice of if i'm abobe like 50% hp. Because if any other execute was being spammed at that hp value they i'd ignore them because it would do nothing.
However if it's beam they there is going to be a problem because all it takes is someone rando dmg to bring me to 50% or a cc and it's over.

Sounds like you need to play more defensively when your health gets low. I get beamed @ 20% all the time and I still live.

Flat out lie. Unless you're playing against people uding mix match gear they pick up from questing. Average health in PvP is 25k, 20℅ is 5k. If you get beamed there you're dead 99℅ of the time.
It needs a range nerf. If you want to execute me, you should have to be in the fight with me, not 30+m away.
