Negate meatbags when they land, then push in. Use major evasion if you are stam, use vigor and roll dodge thru it. Magicka use shields and hots and roll thru/major expedition or snb ult or any other defensive ult if u need to. Organized groups, negate if 3 or more meatbags in 1 spot, barrier before push otherwise.

Only problem i have ever had with meatbags is if i literally cant move due to lag or i mess up badly. Its all about adapting to the situation and trying things out.

For huge faction stack zerg, just siege a wall. No need to limit yourselves to only the maingate. The walls are destructible for a reason.

thank you for trying to help me, but nothing you said would work in my playstyle.

"negate meatbags" not a sorc
"evasion vigor and rollspam" not a stam, vigor does nothing when meatbagged, roll spam is a death sentence when fighting even 2 or more people
"use shields hots and roll" shields are useless on all mags except sorcs currently. no good mag player is running them right now. hots do nothing when meatbagged. rolling wantonly is still a death sentence when being attacked by 2 or more people
"defensive ult" resto ult does nothing due to the meatbags debuff
"organized groups" i dont play in groups

it just counters too much for the 0 cost and effort that it takes to fire one. if every other siege weapon is the standard for balance, meatbags are overpowered.

Rolling is best defense in eso, also forgot to mention cc immunity pots are very helpful if available. Rolling negates almost all but meatbag damage and if you spam jump (with mousewheel or time correctly) you can keep momentum while blocking mid air. Then los to safety and recast hots/buffs. At most you will recieve 2-3 ticks of the meatbag which does around 10k damage. 1/3rd health of a normal build.

The defensive ults/hots/shields are used to negate that damage as much as possible. Snb ult definately the best ult if you are getting attacked by other players. Doesnt matter if your resto ult heals for 2k each tick instead of 5k, its there to keep you alive long enough to get rid of the debuff and los. I havent played in a month but i usually only played stamdk and magblade and never had problem with meatbags.

I can imagine meatbags becoming a problem as a magdk but if you use snb ult + race against time and sprint to los while using coag when needed you should survive.

Magplars can cleanse the debuff as soon as they are out often using mist form as well to los.

Magsorcs just streak over and use shields and streak away.

Magnecro i havent played but i assume high healing, tankiness and resto/snb ult takes care of things.

Magblade i use major evasion skill, dark cloak, resto ult ready (not using), rapid regen and run/roll thru meatbags. If things get dicy i pop resto ult and survive.

Magden can also have problems with the recent arctic blast nerf and ive never properly played one so cant give any specific tips other than what has allready been mentioned.

Also there is no standard in the siege weapons, everything is random. You can block all siege direct damage hits + dots except for meatbags, scattershots and lancers for some reasin. Even tho dots are supposed to be unblockable.

Also worth noting to prepare yourself up to the left/right of the maingate so the enemies cant see you before you make a break for it. Often best to time it right as the meatbag aoe disappears as you will avoid 1 damage tick.
