You miss the point. OP is talking about a buff to AoE damage.
For OP, although major evasion is quite strong the majority of deaths still come from single target burst rather than a whole lot of AoE damage. The only real one honestly is Templar. Wardens do use subterranean but that ends up being an AoE for debuff with the extra fat damage so their single target can burst down enemies (especially with permafrost damage nerf).

That said I do agree Evasion is unnecessarily oppressive towards certain playstyles. I don't feel bad for all the Stamden groups who can't easily AoE bomb a group into oblivion. It's Templars who really get the short end of the stick.
ZOS seems to think that one 2pc set (BRP DW) along with one skill (Blade Cloak) should be able to effectively neuter a class's core damage skills. It's literally a one-button win. Even if that Templar is running all damage sets they can't overcome a 55% reduction in their key damage skills. No class can.

zos wonders why everyones a tank, this is one of the reasons. Other been the abundance of easy access strong off heals.

I have yet to see a meduim armor tank as effective as heavy armor. Healing passive and resource return are way better than major evasion.
Light armor has it way of countering aoe dmg by using dmg shields, hence you have annulment. Heavy armor is by healing, medium armor is used to be dodge chamce to avoid dmg now a flat 25 dmg reduction, still not as strong as heavy or light armor.

Off topic but sidenote: Vitality does have a counter buff in defile (these both affect healing received). It's Mending (healing done) that has no counter debuff.StaticWave wrote: »Similar to why Major Vitality doesn't have a counterbuff, adding an AoE debuff would make some classes extremely strong (ie. warden, necro, templar).
