People .... do you know why players like that are farming you in bgs? Because the majority of you follow you favorite streamer/youtuber who condem certain sets as useless and you are metachasers. I am not saying it to make fun of you but wherever you go now , it''s a bunch of people saying ""burst builds are the best now man no point in this or no point in that, yea dude just trow this set in the trash". And then you meet players who actually create their own builds and you wonder why you get steamrolled with your high damage , 20k health build(in which ironically enough you forgot how to dodge or block). As the op said "weird hybrid build", yea it''s weird, because the first thing you people do is hop on some site , type "best [class] pvp build" and you start farming the gear without even thinking if it's right for you.
I will give you a clue , there are a lot of sets that are deemed "trash" by most of you , that are actually really viable in certain builds. The problem with these people is not that they are too good , but the majority of players are too weak to deal with them. I have one of those "immortal" builds and i instantly know if the opposite team is good or not when i jump in. I can die in a couple of seconds if i am not careful just as any other build , it does not matter how much damage , resists or heals i have. You declare something is op without considering the players themselves , you can copy paste whatever build you want , it does not mean you will perform well... just saying.

So OP threw their glass cannon at a brick wall and was surprised to see it shatter.

Tank over Gank works in basically all games, because the player skill floor for an effective tank is much lower than a glass cannon. Tanks are slower paced and more forgiving of mistakes, gank builds have high burst but die just as fast if not faster hence why they are called glass cannons. If you sacrifice your tank for gank you also sacrifice your margin of error, meaning you simply need to be a better player and have situational awareness.

Its not that tanks do great damage, its that glass cannons have no resist. Take OPs stated stats of 30k stam, 7k dam, and 17k pen. To get that OP probably sacrificed resist so is at about 16k themselves, and about 20k health. Compare that to my not all that special tank with 40k health, 3k damage, 37k resist (yes overbuffed precisely because i know pen exists) I also have about 15k pen. After accounting for each others resist and pen my 40k healthpool gives me about 52k EHP while the approx 20k healthpool of ganker gives about 21k EHP because it has effectively no damage mitigation. Dividing our respective EHP by damage gives approx the same time to kill of about 7secs. So yeah it is more or less balanced with the fight being determined by what you do in that time.

There is completely another story because in ESO defence is vastly outweigh offence. It's not normal from any point of view when someone invest strictly to offence and doing just 4-5 k damage (~10% of max HP) to a tank that able to hit back for 3-5k damage (~15%). Also here comes wardens and necros that can smash you for 7-9k by bones/shalks in a full tank build because the base numbers are insane.
I remember a few first seasons in League of Legends where some tanks (most popular = Amumu) also had high numbers and insane scaling with builtin damage mitigation. So it ended with meta like: firstpick Amumu (or next analogs) => ignore def and build just damage => be able to oneshot a whole team with ult and most picks 1vs1 because damage is insane but def is already comes from kit

It's a real shame because like I was saying, I created my stamblade to get quick, easy kills and get out. Honestly at this point it's literally impossible to play her since people are way too tanky. Please nerf the tankiness in PvP...

So you’re upset that people are using the only functional counter to nightblades. You’re complaining that you actually have to fight opponents. You’re mad there’s two people in this game you can’t kill.

Go one shot NPCs if you don’t want a challenge.

If you’re not one shorting 90% of the population with that setup, then the problem is you and your rotation/skill/connection.

My take is always that people complaining about PVP tankiness are just gankers who don't actually want to face anyone head up, and want to just kill quick and get away without facing a fight. So anything that is built against that, they need to have nerfed.

Going into Cyro or IC or BG's as an anti-gank tank, letting them try and fail to burst kill me, and then locking them in CC's until my team can get to them and finish them off is my favorite thing to do in PVP.

When gankers are gone, then I may start thinking about dropping my tankiness. But until then, this is a non-issue.
