Lots of defile, cc and AOE.

Build a competent, organized raid to fight the disorganized zerg.

That might be more work than you want to put in though.

What kills the aoe spam cluster of players is player-player collision. They already added nuclear bombs, those groups are comprised of mostly nuclear bombs with mobile ground support.

I never understand the developer’s logic “Lets increase the damage output some more surely this will break up the clusters.” It’s like no one in the room went “But if you allow individual players to do more damage across multiple targets wouldn’t that make the groups of players which is comprised of individual players more effective?”

Bomber vanish out.

Depends on if you mean zerg or organized large groups. A zerg gets chewed up fairly easily by another zerg and they can have fun butting heads that way, but a zerg versus an organized group needs every advantage they can get. Make sure you roll with your own 40-person group minimum, mostly ride around the edge of the fight on your mount so you can run away really fast if it looks like your side is going to lose, set up lots of siege to feel like you're contributing, and never go outside your own territory, otherwise they'll respawn too fast and you might not be able to overwhelm them with numbers.

Bring your own zerg

You have not enough minerals.

Hope they’re not equipped with earthgore and time a few coordinated ults as they enter a chokepoint. Helps to start with sub assault for the aoe debuff. If it’s a faction stack though then good luck, you’ll be defeated by lag alone.

Talk ZOS into making PvE equivalents for all the alliance skills people need like Caltrops or War Horn and the zerging will stop. Zergs are a necessary evil for PvEers to get their PvP skills.

This. Thisthisthisthisthis. THIS. PVP is great and all, but remove the unique endgame rewards that are PVP or PVE only, and just make them unique endgame rewards. I'm sure the PVP base would like some of the high level armor us PVEers get just as much as us PVEers would like an alternative way to get Legate Black.

And it has the side benefit of reducing or eliminating zergs.

Exactly what the shrinking PVP community of this game needs -- further ways to disincentivize participating in PVP!

No.

To be fair, it would also disincentivize participating in PVE, so that kinda balances out. Players would still be equally as likely to play the game modes they play already. Unless of course you think PVE is better and players only play the worse mode because they have to. If this is the case, why are we still pushing a bad game mode?

I guess it could also fracture the community a bit more, but 1. I don't care and 2. would it really? Would not being forced to do something make you more likely to want to do it? No idea, you should probably ask a psychologist instead of me.
