Medium armor and the dot meta

Can we have DoT suppression while we have the iframes buff active after dodge roll? With all the stam healing being nerfed how are medium builds going to survive with sub par heals. Mag builds can soak them up with shields or out heal them with more than fine healing. Dodge roll into vigor or rally gives meduim a shot at gaining health back if DoTs were suppressed during the invulnerability window. Otherwise medium is rip. Cloak suppresses dots so it's not terribly out of line.
EDITED to add that after some debate a 33% reduction to dot damage during a roll dodge would be more suitable.

✭I would be against such a change. Shields are taking a pretty significant hit this patch, as are two other primary forms of defense for magicka builds - Protective and Pirate Skeleton.
Given Magicka Necromancer's sustain issues, bar space limitations, and the nerfs to Harness Magicka, there's a really good chance I won't even be able to run any shields. If I end up being forced to run a defense 5 piece set, which seems kinda likely, the shields will end up too small to matter, and absolutely not be worth the resource cost.
If I have to eat all this DOT damage, why shouldn't you? Stamina builds already have superior mobility, and are more likely to be able to break range/LOS and get some breathing room. Sure, I have more healing options than you do, but it's not like I'll be able to stand around shrugging off all the damage, especially not with how bad Magicka Necromancer's sustain is (and that'll get worse if I end up having to run Fortified Brass or something next patch).19 -

You compare the balancing of an armor to the one of a terribly designed class. Despite I agree with the statement that having iframes tied to dot suppression isn't good, your argument is extremely weak.
Medium armor is poop, it has been for years, a bit because of how much damage has ramped up, a bit because of how poor the passives are. Thing is, medium armor users gonna melt no matter what next patch, unless they give us soemthing to counter these crazy dots passively (hots, resistances to dots, etc). Being immune to dots mid dodge roll won't change much since you'll get *** as soon as you try to sprint or attack.Edited by Nerftheforums on August 7, 2019 7:11AM13 -

Atleast light have shields and better heals to soak up dot damage. Stam builds literally only have vigor which won't out heal multiple dots from a single player
To beat a medium user all you have to do it load on maybe three dots and sit back and watch the health disappear7 -

I was just gonna suggest something like this aswell. 100% would be way too strong, 33% is more balanced imo. ZOS should really look into this tho, because medium armor shines in some situations, but are completely negated in others. This is on live, and dots is the main culprit, with Scalebreaker patch this problem for medium armor will just escalate to new heights.

I would restrict it to as long as you are actively dodging. If you are in the dodge animation and you are still actively dodging projectiles etc coming at you. This would actually make a certain medium armor set just abit stronger. Not saying this set would be fine then, it would still need further adjustment to be worthy of use.

Forgot that set existed lol. Whatever the case and however long the duration it's plain to see medium is going to be at an even greater disadvantage in this patch. If ZOS wants dodge roll to be the main defense for medium builds then this is an issue that should be addressed in some way. Especially after the vigor nerf.Edited by Epicasballs on August 7, 2019 10:27AM1 -

Many magicka builds are going to be forced to eat a significant amount of DOT damage, and shields aren't nearly as good as some players like to claim, especially on something like Magicka Necromancer (due to terrible sustain). Stamina builds shouldn't be able to simply spam a couple dodge rolls + a few seconds of sprint to suppress basically all damage in the game (Curse and potentially rolling through a ground AOE would be the only exceptions off the top of my head), and get LOS/distance in the process.I would be against such a change.

Read the rest of the forum we've whittled it down to 33% reduction not complete suppression. As in all good discussions concessions were made.3 -
Jeezye✭✭✭✭✭How about you dodgeroll the ability that applies the dot to you? Medium armor is design to proactively avoid taking damage and hits, not straight up tank it out like heavy does. Most of the dot abilities are hard to land due to dodgerolles anyways.
I see more of a problem with the newly buffed/introduced dots like entropy and soul trap which are undodgeable. Classic dots like sunfire, cripple, poison injection and bloodcraze can all be dodged. If you fail avoiding them, its only right to get punished by taking the damage.5 -

True. But it's unrealistic to think you can roll every attack and put up an offense. You need offense windows and windows to heal and if you have 2-4 dots on you with a single 4 second vigor you're going to get roasted. Some amount of mitigation while roll dodging will help vigor do its intended job and heal you. Otherwise medium is going to get lit up. You're not always going to have a pocket healer.3 -

It's not only shields that light armor has. Its better healing and shields.
The shield changes were offset with vigor esq magic heals. Medium actually lost 2h HoT. Had it "offset" with buffed vigor heals, then they nerfed vigor leaving medium with less healing overall.
And let's not pretend like dodgeroll isn't available to light and heavy. The difference is when not dodgerolling, heavy has higher resistance and light has shields. Medium has nothing extra. So medium armor has to dodgeroll more. But shields and resistance arent punished by fatigue. Dodgerolls are.
Removing roots? Major expedition? RaT means that isn't exclusive to medium either.
As it stands it's shaping up to be another high resistance tank meta. Squishy players surviving off dodgeroll will often be free AP.5 -
SodanTok✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Something like this (not full suppression thats just OP) has to happen to make medium viable with this back and forth. Block, healing, mitigation even during bleed meta heavy always did it better than medium. Now they nerf Vigor because its strong on heavy armor DK or smth, its never gonna stop.
Now dodge, no heavy armor build can use it often and if some buffs to functionality were also tied to medium (remember stealth passive?) it would be even more medium thing. DoT mitigation also has the advantage of not really buffing nightblade, which are the one spec thats probably keeping medium down past 2 years.0 -

TBH I don't even think the passive mitigation is that bad of medium armor. You definitly can't dodge everything, by no means, but my stamsorc has run medium for 2 years now and doesn'T struggle defensively. Dodge the obvious attacks, use defensive/utility class skills like cloak, streak, wings, ... to complement dodgerolls and you're fine.
It really all comes down to the popularity of the unavoidable dots, and I think especially entropy will be spammed A LOT.0 -

2 ppl having soultrap on a medium armor player and its gonna be pretty rip for that guy unless they have a healer. Talking open world here.
If one skill (soultrap) has that kinda power that makes any such build think "*** i have to go full defence for 10s now or im toast" its too much of a counter, and that is just one of all the buffed dots.
