I can see kiting a player and having it deal damage
I can see a big ole tanky player being hit by it (if you're a big ole tank in PvP ... Well I want your toon to disappear lol)
I face too many quick opponents in PvP to try and slot it on any Stam toon, or I kill way too quickly.
But because it's being nerfed, I suppose I won't have it on my Magden. Which was the only class I could actually see running it on in BGs
Sloads is excellent in 1vX when paired with defile.

When sloads was new, my sloadblade with sheer venom used lethal arrow + poison injection to get kills on some of the full time PvPers. But people have changed their builds and it's less effective now.
Does it still work? Yes - but it's kill % is definitely lower. People are running troll king and/or purge and/or vitality pots.
All the outcry about sloads used by the unskilled is so much QQ from people used to being untouchable.
Please someone explain what's more skilful about stacking passive health recovery and healing and just running around DBing and spin-to-win to get your kills? The state of non-sloads gameplay on Vivec PC NA is abysmal and sloads was a counter to it for a short time...

Only if you explain how having your CP and build do all of your passive recovery and mitigation is skilful?
What work are you doing this way?
The point is that whether it's passive offense or passive defense -- it's passive and no active skill is required.
The sloads+defile meta forced everyone to shift because passive defences were made less effective.
But using sloads+defile+execute is no less "skilful".
And if/when sloads gets nerfed we're just back to the same old stamsorcs and stamdens playing their usual cheese...
There's a forum post here on using sloads+sheer+skoria.
I tried it - damage is great. Survivability is not.
So the skill in using proc sets might be in surviving...
I've seen too many stamsorcs and stamdens whose health bars barely move while they are being focused by multiple less "skilful" players - pre-sloads.
Why is running a health recovery race + troll king + gold food + max CP + good pots
with forward momentum and just putting down a DB and spamming steel tornado considered skillful gameplay?
That setup and play style demolishes most casual players and is preferred by most of the top-ranked PC NA Vivec stam players -- players who are "too good" to equip sloads.
And for a short time they were caught out by sloads + defile + execute ... but they've mostly adjusted....

I agree with you!
If people really think they are nothing but "skillful" in pvp then remove what ever sets you are using and go put on an oddball build that no one would ever play with to test how skillful you are. If you can't compete then your probably not as good as you think you are and it is your build / gear carrying you!

Fully agree with this, Sloads doesnt need a nerf because good players allready adepted to it. And the argument Sloads is used by skill less players is nonsense, is it that skill full using fossilize, runecage or stacking shields?
ZOS please reconsider a nerf to Sloads.

Yeah yeah yeah. You can say what you want by my personal experiences and that of every respectable PVPer are the same.
You can’t even begin to defend against Sload if you’re perma defiled
