    I can block cancel tornado on stam sorc and weave LA fine, why the dissing?

    Thing is I don't do it unless in BGs for Cyrodiil lag reason, I don't want lag and exploit...

    Real PvPers do not complain, Tanking PvE is more drama, Cyrodiil and BGs you expect pain, thats the beauty.

    PvE everyone wants easy ride, now how do ZoS balance this? Big respect to Zenimax but light attacks need a nerf (i think).

    Maybe the problem isn't PvE players anymore than PvP players. I'd just like to posit that the problem might be ZOS refusal to balance each environment separately such that when they make a change for one they screw up the balance for the other.

    Its not that Alinhbo.

    Its a promotion of a broken fix to animation cancel that came with Summerset patch.

    It is not a PvP vs PvE issue but forum warriors take it that direction.

    Its a broken buff to promote weaving which is broken.

    Elegant set.

    But be all "shhh.." about it.

    Wait, there is a set that gives a 20% kick to light attacks? And a skill called Elemental Weapon that buffs light attacks? And if you wear that and use that skill with a set called Undaunted Infiltrator, you cal buff your light attack even more? And that is a medium set, so you can get additional resistance? NO. WAY.

    Its almost as if there are players that combine these things and kill others in Cyrodiil with them...

    This segregation from basic haters on forum is disgusting.

    3 AD magsorcs LA me, dead in 2 seconds.

    This is my issue.

    They also have enchants and other procs that double down the damage on Light Attacks. Magic Nightblades make big use of this. Also there's the Psijic skill Elemental Weapon that gives your Light Attacks an insane damage boost. It's not just the LA itself.

    Elegant with Overload was Hodor meta at vMoL, its the spam that is the issue because it causes insane lag when basic macro'd.

    This is directly related to wrong animation cancelling mechs.

    I really hope ZoS rework ani-cancel. For their server life and player life.

    We used to have 5 different PvP servers with 200 players each alliance. The broken animation cancelling patch forced ZoS to reduce numbers and campaigns.

    Light weaving macro abusers cause immense lag, this is the issue.

    It needs de-buffed and ani-cancel needs a fix.

    Heavy attack weave dizzy swing is worse lag though.

    Not every end game player does all three. I don't PvP and neither does the majority of people I play with. I personally don't care if someone likes PvP or not it's just not for me.

    The reality is there is no reason for ZOS to treat combat in both environments the same. If EOS had an open world PvP environment you might be able to make that argument but here PvP is isolated so there is no need to try to balance one on the back of the other. In fact splitting the combat stats into PvP and PvE would probably go a long way to resolving the animosity between the antagonists in both camps that you appear to be complaining about.

    This game is based on Cyrodiil, I feel ZoS need to tone down light attacks a bit, seems ridiculous the amount of damage they do now.

    Light attacks are fine I’ve never been killed by light attacks, if you were it’s probably because they had a wacky build made to kill with light attacks. You said they were sorcs?maybe it was overload light attacks (which is a sorc ultimate) anyways light attacks aren’t over performing.

    This game is not based on cyrodiil, if it were they’d be adding new content to cyrodiil every update. Pve is what they add every update and pve is what sells dlcs.

    This is from an end game pvp/pve player

    The issue is light attacks got heavily buffed to promote PvE weaving and its exploited in PvP it seems.

    I just want feedback not PvE vs PvP segregation. Both are fun.

    No you don't. You want a nerf.

    Many do both. However, I’ve been playing since beta and I grew bored with trials and dungeons pretty quickly. Many people who post here state how much they hate PvP and only played in Cyrodiil to get desired skills, never to return. Any generalization about the player base is folly. However, Those who place a strict divide between “PvPers” and “PvEers” commit the worst folly, as I doubt there is a significant percentage who haven’t at least dabbled in both.
