It's simple don't hit the blazing focus on the dps

I've lived my life with the term "Deal with it" instilled into my brain whenever something negative happens, but that still won't stop me from believing things could use a major overhaul. Come up with possible ideas to counteract what I experience whenever I go against my better judgement and enter a Campaign. Like perhaps capping everyone's Health bar at a max of say 50k in PvP areas, or...RNGesus I don't know. This makes me want to just go back to Planetside, at least everything's on equal footing over there.

Old news. The build is almost 3 months old: http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/eso-blazplar-blasing-shield-templar-pvp-build-one-tamriel/

The icing of the cake is the monster set he uses -> Swarm Mother :-)

Actually guys who develope such builds have my full respect.

Nope OP, it is just one more thing that is wrong with pvp, cheese builds bad for the game, things like this should not even be in game.

With the way ESO is set up, PvP should be more... I guess, structured. It needs to be more of a closed system, where you're building from the same tools that everyone else has access to.

I'd even go so far as to say that PvP should probably be on characters completely segregated from PvE content, and vice versa.

It's kinda hard to not hit and ignore Blazing Shield Tanks. When your opponents are actually 5 of them at same time attacking you. At least long range weapons helps out greatly though.

Im ashamed to admit i got triggered, and decided to respec my magplar into a blaze shield health build like that, and then immediately lost the will and gave up. I didnt want to abandon my investment into the gear and playstyle i have.

Thats 2,800 crowns in respec scrolls i'll never get back...

You do know you can do this for gold, right?

Anyway, yeah, if you're solo it's hard to do, but in a group if you die to a blazing shield + DPS group that is similarly skilled to you then it's the crown's fault. By now every good crown should be saying "start by hitting the 2nd one in first" and "leave the tank alone" like it's second nature.

Nah people aren't understanding, all this "Ignore them focus on DPS"; uhh yeah try that when they're guarding the DPS and Goodluck if that DPS is a magplar too because bursting them down doesn't help unless you got a small zerg but then again if there's more than 1 blazing shieldplar especially around 4 then it's over.

I was at Sejanus bridge and saw that happen, AD/EP was feeding me AP then AD dropped it's tactical blazing shield squad of 3 blazing shieldplars and 2 magplar heal DPS. People negated and they simply walked out of it, they focused on the magplar healers and the blazing shield ran on top of the healer so they will take the damage. When the magplars got their ultimate, all you saw was a firestorm and blazing shieldplars popped a warhorn while the other a barrier, GG entire DC squad at Sejanus + EP got smacked.
I fortunately got away by jumping from the look out point into the water.

One of my toons is actually an 80,000 health Blazing Shield tank. In all honesty, it's sort of boring to play in PVP. It's cool when a NB ganker gets a surprise and can't burst me down, but in 1v1 fights, the other player usually gets tired of me spamming blazing shield and leaves. *shrug* Might change things up and make him into a stamplar for more variety.

80k health?

By 'niche' you mean a build that shouldn't be possible in the first place?

Sounds like great strategy to me.

It's probably possible. I imagine they wear that plague doctor's set to help them reach it.

I doubt such a build would have much in the ways of a formidable offense though. So as others have suggested, you could probably just ignore it for the most part.

I don't really see the harm in PvP having certain builds that are difficult to kill so long as they have to sacrifice offense to achieve it.

i ran PD on a Nord no way neared 80k, alot of ppl say this and theyre running with 68k.

They could be exaggerating. Or they might be factoring in the blazing shield bonus as part of their health when they say that.

There's a link that tells you exactly how to do it. It's practically spelled out for you,

All it took was scrolling up or even reading a few posts.

Why shouldn't it be possible?

God forbid there is a build people can play that doesn't get instant killed.

A lot of builds won't get instant killed.

None of them require 80k hp.
