    I think the point was they didn't want a push button (or wear set) receive chance to negate attacks 15% if the time. They want you to actively look and act in order to dodge an attack.

    So why not apply that very same "logic" to sets that offer sustain, CC etc.?

    Take damage and get healed... nah son you need to active heal

    Take/deal dmg and apply CC... nah son you need to actively apply that CC

    Apply an effect in a certain area... nah son you need to activate that



    Anyone who buys into their so-called reasoning behind these changes is delusional.

    You just quoted every argument against the proc meta

    Dodge 15% helped NB tanking. It was unique to NB tanking, of course they would remove it. They want to shoehorn NBs to DPSing.

    This. Anyone remember how excited ZOS used to be about their "every class can fill any role" approach?

    As a NB tank you're excluded from end-game pve already. I guess NB tanks will be kicked from random dungeon groups soon ("tank is a NB so he's fake")... :'(

    I bet no one will care and they won't be kicked any more frequently than before. All you have to do as a tank is do your job. I fail to see how guaranteed AoE damage reduction would be worse than dodge chance.

    25% aoe resistance is on top of already high damage resistance of tank.. ok let's say tank have 65% damage mitigation (without blocking) and 90% with block. So AOE mitigation will put just 9% on top of usual resistance (and only to aoe!) and 2.5% while blocking (which does help if it was to all damage, but since it's only to aoe it's effect minimal).

    And 15% dodge is minus 15% incoming all damage with exception of AOE plus economy on spent stamina plus 15% less cc effects etc etc etc. Conclusion this is pure, clear, ruining, abnormal nerf for nb tanks and medium armor tanks comparable to shield nerf for sorcs. Of course tanks got shield buff but surprise - dk is best in shield spamming, so dk became even more powerful and nb place is random normal now.

    Stamblade shields were over performing and we had to bring them inline with other defensive abilities. Sorry I thought this was a #nerfsorc thread
