The way I´d rework it would be to put it on a small cooldown if you fail to pull a target (similar to when dark deal is interrupted). This would prevent "chain spamming" in PvP while in PvE you just have to be a bit cautious with what target you try to pull to you.

PvP salt mines are the reason that PvE tanks will never have interesting sets, or interesting skills. All because of *** like this.

TBF, tanks *do* have *some* interesting sets (some of my favorite sets in the game are tank sets), but they are just called "selfish" by DPS who just want us to be Alkosh-bots.

look what they already did to poor old templars.. use to be one of the great classes... that's all because of u.. and u desire for balance.

Utterly absurd. The fact that this thread even exists is just another bit of proof to add to the pile that PvP players will never be content so long as tanks in PvE continue to even exist. Chains has an easy counter in PvP, does practically no damage, especially not on a "50k HP Dragonknight tank", isn't even long-ranged like with 28m skills (which are boosted even further in PvP), and is one of the only tools DKs have to counter Sorcs, which are annoyingly oppressive and almost impossible to catch in PvP, as the recent no proc Cyrodiil test has shown. I am tired of these repeated and insistent nerfs to pure tanks because PvP players just want easy wins and don't want to adjust their playstyle to fit the meta; this has been an ongoing issue for years, and even after years of suffering nerfs at the behest of PvP players, they still aren't satisfied. This upcoming patch, Heavy armor will take increased magic damage, despite needing damage reduction to actually do their job, on top of losing movement speed, increasing their detection radius by 70%, to the point where it's almost impossible to even play through some STORYLINE quests in Heavy, on top of also now not having the stamina they need to roll dodge boss mechanics, even though the game actually forces us to do so, with certain boss attacks being one-shots even through block. No, no, and no. DK already has the worst sustain in the game. There needs to be a push back against this incessant cry for nerfs, because apparently ZOS only listens to players who whine about this constantly. I hope that PvE players start demanding nerfs to PvP items and abilities for the sake of PvE balance, because PvP players have been doing it for years and still manage to find something so utterly small and yet crucial to tanks to complain about.
