It makes no sense that a nerf to dual wield over performing should also affect sword and board which is fine.
Alot of end game raiders will say that tanks should be running a staff on backbar anyway but if a tank wants to run dual sword
And board they shouldnt be penalized nor be precluded from end game content because they are unable to provide full
Crusher debuff for the group. Please make the nerf to enchants only apply to dual wield.

    I agree, I think the nerf to sword and board was an unnecessary oversight. It is unfortunate there was no mention of this in the last patch notes considering the large number of posts related to this topic.

    Don't forget to reverse the changes for timestop for pve, another tank Nerf that we all hate.

    I have a tank that I use for a lot of content. Time Stop nerf doesn't effect me at all (Templar Tank) as I wasn't using it anyway.

    1h nerf barely effected anything either, in terms of penetration and keeping uptime on the breach bonuses.

    Could it perhaps, just perhaps, be that skilled DPS aren't hurt all that much by the minimal loss in efficiency from the 1h rune nerf?

    I also have a magdps (again Templar) that has been my main lately, and am still hitting cap or slightly over-penetrating, even after the nerf.

    The loss of group penetration from a crusher enchant being cut in half has nothing to do with being a skillful dps player...

    And if you are hitting the pen cap after the nerf, then you had too much pen pre nerf, which was your bad. Or someone else is already using a back bar crusher on their staff in your group, which means nothing has changed for you.

    Actually, in case of that 1h enchantment nerfs it would be nice to see some changes in SnB passives, like doubled enchant effeciency when shield equipped or something like that. It not affect DW dps and tanks not be forced to use staves.

    does anyone know someone from ZOS who might read this and be sympathetic. I don't think there are many people who disagree with me that this change for tanks needs to be reverted. @ZOS_GinaBruno please help us! I dont want to tank with a stave
