An Absolute Disgrace

Holy crap. In twelve years of playing MMOs, I have never seen balance this bad. Small scale is all but dead. I'd rather go back to the proc meta than this garbage. 35k physical resist, 3k crit resist, shields up, spamming heals... die in two seconds from numerous stamina players throwing out oblivion enchants like they're candy on Halloween. It's unplayable. The balance team is bad. Very, very bad. Stop balancing your game with a sledgehammer.
And just for fun, this is the terrible attempt at fixing pets being useless. Now you can't kill them with any build that uses primarily AoE damage. So my magplar, for instance. You've successfully eliminated a legitimate strategy for fighting a class, homogenizing tactics even more. Good work.

✭✭✭✭✭Battlegrounds aren't really about balance, though. They're about that little adage, the best defense is a good offense.
The same can be broadly applied to all PVP in this game. Hyper-defense and stalemates just aren't fun in fast, competitive environments.
A bit of a cluster *** for sure. But if you're bringing a shield to an abattoir, be prepared to be carried out on it.signing off4 -

✭✭Wait I'm confused. Are pets unkillable in PvP now? I thought it was only in trials and dungeons where they're invincible.1 -

✭✭Any build that uses primarily one damage type is bound to face a hard-counter. Primarily ranged projectile builds will be useless against wings. Primarily single target melee will be useless against casters without a gap closer. Primarily DoTs will be useless against healers. That's why a varied toolkit or group composition is important.
85% mitigation might have been a bit too much though. That Twilight was barely getting healed and that tiny ward took forever to even remove.Edited by Alpheu5 on October 29, 2018 11:12PMDalek-Rok - Argonian Sorcerer || Dalek-Shād - Argonian Nightblade || Dalek-Shul - Argonian Templar || Dalek-Xal - Argonian Dragonknight || Mounts-the-Snout - Argonian Warden || Dalek-Xul - Argonian Necromancer || Two-Spires - Argonian Arcanist || Dalek-Nesh - Argonian Sorcerer || Dalek-Kör - Argonian DragonknightJudas Helviaryn wrote: »Don't incorporate bugs into your builds, and you won't have [an] issue.4 -

@ccmedaddy They take 85% less damage from player AoE and DoTs, and since that comprises an enormous amount of player damage options I can see it making them appear invincible. I guess you could... wrecking blow spam someone's pet?Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit
