    In many way not enough of my chars are nerfed as power creep is out of control.

    The only thing I really put any effort into - Magicka Warden - is getting nerfed again, both directly and indirectly. I was hoping that Magicka Necromancer would be a valid replacement, but so far it looks to be even worse for PvP. 'Course, like I keep saying, there's still another month to go before the "early access" begins for Elsweyr on PC/Mac, so things might change between now and then.

    We'll have to have special nerfs which only affect you. Most of us dont want to be weak and inneffective.
    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    Pretty much every class I play either got a nerf or nothing.

    Hmm. Let me see...
    • My Stamblade will be hurting a little due to the changes to Grim Focus. But it's not the end of their PvP career.
    • My StamDen will need another source of sustain since I can't rely on the Netch (casting it takes me out of sneak).
    • My MagSorc will have a somewhat lower survivability since they "fixed" Hardened Ward. It was neccessary…and annoying. And no, I don't stack shields.

    I don't like relying on pots to help with sustain issues, but I might have to bite the bullet on that one. In terms of NB losing Minor Berserk, I might have to use Slimecraw to get it back. Practically hugging a healer running combat prayer isn't an option in PvP; everyone moves around way too much. The only exception to this I can think of is if you and your group are in the same voice channel in TeamSpeak/Discord for coordination.

    Sorc and Templar, both nerfed hard on magicka and stamina.

    I assume Necro will get nerfed during PTS and then heavily nerfed by the next PTS. To be honest, I'm not sure I even want to bother with the hassle of skilling up all of the trees and achievements for another character. I might not even bother.

    Apparently from reading the forums all of them. Every class now sucks and so does the upcoming necro.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    Condemned and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    All of them, because I have chars in all classes (both mag and stamina versions) and in a wide variation of races.

    My two bow gankers. The same two that got nerfed the worst in Updated 21. I'll give them a run out to test how bad things are after this update hits live, but I think they're finished.

    CP PvP while fun to build in is pretty warped as far as power level. The CPs are part of the reason for the tank meta. Offensive CPs let you still do any damage while in heavy (also Fury/Seventh & Co.) all the while the defensive CPs all scale best with the defense of heavy armor. Now the Protective trait is showing that you can get the bulk that scales well with defensive CPs while maintaining the damage and sustain buffs of medium and light.

    CPs essentially aren't just powering up characters offense and defense in an equal way. Gank TTK is generally lower in CP, while tanks are at the same time tankier. You can more easily min-max an extreme and not be as incapable elsewhere. Healing effectiveness is also something that scales extremely well with CP, as each HP point is generally worth more. This distorts builds. Now no-CP also has its weirdness partly due to what happened when VRs were swapped to CP and the max rss and crit etc were bundled into CP. Maybe ZOS looking at CPs will fix the way CP distorts the extremes of builds.

    PVE dps is totally out of control and drunk on the power rn. That's what really needs the nerfs. Yet ZOS is buffing dps....
