What are counters to those people in AvA that just like to tank 8 people and never die?

They need to make a spell in game, drain stamina, drain magika.
Negate all stamina recoveries
Negate all magika recoveries
This is only way I can see countering them

Yes they do. Zos added poison crafting specifically to combat this.
I'm going to guess you're just oblivious here, so I'll spell it out for you: alchemists can create poisons that increase the stamina and magicka costs of the target by 60%. That's more than enough to kill even the best sustain build.
I'm sorry that rolling your face across the keyboard isn't always going to get you an instant win. Maybe it'd help if you weren't playing a gank build and had some actual combat viability of your own?

✭Or just kill someone else instead of stacking up on him for his bomb buddy in the bushes?“Whatever.”

qsnoopyjr✭✭✭✭I see this guy all he likes to do is up in tower at a resource, hold block...
Just so he can showoff that he doesnt die.
There be 8 of us attacking him... He doesnt die, he holds block all day.
Maybe a BLOCK NEGATE spell, unable to block for 12 seconds.
Or add some NB skill.
Deal 300% extra damage to foes that BLOCK, skill ignores BLOCK too.Edited by qsnoopyjr on March 8, 2017 7:13PM2 -
sirston✭✭✭✭✭counter for tank's
1.Get some poison so there blocking and skills cost 60% more

qsnoopyjr✭✭✭✭Just let him sit there because he can't kill anyone so he can be ignored?
he's waiting to rez his buddies.
Just ignore him and let him rez buddies and let them recapture the resource?
Dont think so.
Everyone has a counter...
But these mofos have no counters.
Should be a tank vs tank counter, powerbash... Breaks other tanks block and knocks them on floor for 5 seconds... enough time for 8 people to woop his butt.0 -

If they're permablocking they're already negating their own stamina recovery...
Besides, I see no point in killing them, they're there to help me build up my ultimate for when there buddies show up. But if you're determined to kill your ultimate builder then you need to stun them every 6 seconds and draining resource poisons help too.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA1 -

✭✭✭The solution is pretty much L2P. 1: it doesn't take that many competent players to kill any tank build in the game. 2: those tanks do literally zero dps, they are free ult gen. 3: if a shieldplar is hurting you it's because you're a potato and standing right next to them. Shieldplars are the easiest tank setup to trash, root + negate. Done.
OP, people like you whining are the reason this game has been dumbed down so much already, take a moment and think about that.Edited by HoloYoitsu on March 9, 2017 12:35AM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭what i do,
i just use them to build up my ultimate and then i run back to battle LOL.
but if there are alot of people around me helping me then we kill that tank dead. it might take like 10 minutes tho LOL.0 -
Didaco✭✭✭✭The worst thing you could do to them is to just ignore them.
They've given up pretty much everything else to be that kind of tank, so they wouldn't be able to pose a real threat even if they wanted to.
Same for healthplars. Their biggest weakness is their enemies passiveness.Edited by Didaco on March 8, 2017 8:44PM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭oh and 1 other thing i forgot.
if you go to a NON CP Campaign then the Tanks there cant be GOD mode like they do in the CP Campaigns.

Exactly, the entire point of running a pvp tank is to get potatoes to dogpile them so their buddies can kill the potatoes from behind.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭On my Templar I counter tank the enemy tank and use interrupt bashing to keep him from healing till my guild mates kill his usually present bomb buddy and then they are able to focus down the tank with poisons till my RD in his face can execute him.
There are some pretty good tanks out there and advice to most if they can't stay in their face is to avoid them.

qsnoopyjr✭✭✭✭would be very nice if DoTs killed these mofos.
I run magDK BSW grothdarr, I would love to melt these tanks with DoTs...
I mean blocking is suppose to bring down normal attacks... But if poisoned, if burning... Blocking should not counter that.0 -

If they're a Templar they just cleanse your DoTs away while they just giggle at you. If you're running a DoT heavy build I would just avoid Templars in general.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA0 -
