The purpose of Wrathstone simply put: to kill off sustain

fxeconomisteb17_ESO
Numbers are coming up way too short whatever I'd be thinking about.
Not just my 4 nord toons I have are quite killed off, but I just don't see any fix.
Changing the race won't solve the problem. Could probably get more health if I go for specific health sets. But that means giving up everything else.
Health regen looks far less possible than before...

I don't know. I thought I'll be enticed to come back and play, but it just doesn't give me any reason to do it.
"Is it true her wounds healed on their own ? Yes" No s***, at 75% health regen penalty!

    I'm the opposite. I'm excited about the gains by Nords' new racial. I may miss the health, but Nords gain enough to more than make up for it. Both PvP and PvE is going to get better for mine.

    Oh yeah, the 20% loss is huge. It was applied to everything else health regen I had on me.

    PS: I got an imperial DK tank and i like the reduced ability cost

    I would say it looks interesting indeed:

    Increases Experience gain in One Hand and Shield Skill Line by 15%, extra 1% Gold gain → No changes
    Tough: 12% Max Health → Increases your Max Health by 2000.
    Conditioning: 10% Max Stamina → Imperial Mettle: Increases your Max Stamina by 2000.
    Red Diamond: 10% Chance on Melee Attack to heal for 6% of Max Health → When you deal Direct Damage you have a 15% chance to heal for 1750. Reduces the cost of your Block and Bash abilities by 5%.

    But pity about this "Direct Damage" thing. Can't create Direct Damage while blocking..., I had a bloody good idea about it....

    But you didn't have HP regen on Breton. And really, tanking is nothing without HP regen. Your life will keep going down regardless of your mitigation, if you don't heal. And it was super nice to have handsfree healing on the Nord.

    Nord is low-key one of the most OP races in the game now.

    Awesome PvE tanks and just ridiculously tanky PvP builds. Nord stamDKs and stamdens are going to be cancer.

    What good is HP regen if you're blocking one-shots at full health?

    Basically all tanking skills are direct damage and you can use all of them while blocking.

    ok. sustain got hurt? maybe for altmers, nords and lizards.
    red guards, imperials, wood elves, breton, cats their sustain got super buffed.
    orcs and dark elves the same sustain.
    so over all sustain got buffed, i wouldnt even include nord in the calculation, because the flat resistances lets him wear the new stonekeeper and easily reach resistance cap (in case of tanking).
    and to that one comment about imperials that said that u can't deal direct damage while perma blocking.
    1. a good tank dont permablock. u heavy attack when u can anyway. u weave some skills when boss is not attacking u.
    2. heroic slash and piercing strike are both dealing direct damage. so does bashing (and the cost is really low from shield play enchants).
    3. 3% reduction cost to everything is also a sustain buff (if i am not mistaken includes: block, skills, ultimate).
