Too many times I hear people say things about imbalances in the game. We need to realign our perspectives better instead of lashing out at each other’s classes or playstyles. I read posts along the lines of “stamina over performing”, “nerf shields”, “why does he have that and i don’t?”.....
Each class is supposed to have an identity of its own. Otherwise, what is the purpose of picking a class? Lets take a look at what seperates classes and specs from each other and instead of pointing the finger and yelling for ZOS to nerf that, buff this, or i want my class to have that too or its not fair... we can talk about what they give up in order to keep that identity
Magicka sorcs - i hear people complain about their bubbles. Burst damage. Streak’s mobility. While it would be nice for YOUR class to have all of this, yours doesn’t and shouldn’t. That burst damage is there for a reason. While you’re beating on a sorc, he’s having to spam bubbles to stay alive. This creates small windows for them to get damage out, which is where the purpose of this burst stems from. Otherwise, in a sorc’s case, the tide would be impossible to turn.
Stam nightblades - they’re everywhere and cloak should be nerfed, right? Well don’t get upset because a nightblade gets away from you and you couldn’t secure the kill. Stam NBs are squishy and instead of heals, they get dodge rolls, upfront damage, and defile quite often. Why is this? Most stam NBs will open with as much damage as possible because they are on borrowed time. Its difficult to be a brawler. So they’re given the damage to tag someone and the ability to evade. Cloak is a pretty *** ability too if you ask me. Potion up to make someone’s ability worthless. Let me know when i can drink a potion to disable all sorcs from streaking and dawnbreaker’s from connecting
Stam vs magicka - magicka can’t dodge roll like stam so it should get nerfed, and stamina needs a bubble too? Well... lets all stop getting angry at each other and look at WHY it is the way it is, and what we give up in exchange for these unique playstyles. How difficult would it be to kill a healer that bubbles, dodge rolls, evades, cloaks, streaks, etc? Would magicka players give up their bubbles and wards to dodge roll? Would stam give up the ability to CC break more and dodge roll for a bubble?
I don’t want to drag this along, but i hope you see the point. Keep things unique or we will all be running the same abilities, sets, and playstyle... more so than we do now. Anyone else see other things unique about specific classes, roles, playstyles?
Thanks. I just had to get that out. I’m tired of people pointing at each other and acting entitled to that other class’ abilities or whathaveyou.
