PvP balance

As of now there is probably two setups/classes that feels overpowered in my opinion. That is firstly procsorc. Carried by procs like relequen, zaan, maarselok, masters dw, vate staff, dragons apetite etc. All tho not all these sets deserve a nerf but combined with each other becomes very powerful. Specially with sorc that has streak. Next class would be dk with the same sets. These two classes can put an insane pressure on the target which is simply overpowered.

So the real biggest issue are the procs specially masters dw, relequen, maarselok and zaan. If these were to get nerfed the two setup/classes would no longer feel way to powerful and actually feel more balanced compared to the other classes and other setups.

    True, I don't remember last PvP was somewhat balanced with no broken/overperforming stuff.

    PvP balance is a myth. Due to the complexity of the skill, CP and gear systems there will always be some builds that will perform better, especially when you add in the almost infinite variability of the player's skill to the equation. ZOS also doesn't really have any incentive to try to achieve anything close to balance. If they didn't tweak the gear and skills in the game to change what builds perform better, how would they get the sweaty meta chasers to keep logging in year after year?

    Yes, there will always be some builds that perform better. But in this case its pretty much just the same procs that are overperforming not just being better. And with sorc having streak takes a huge advantage in using these procs where they can just streak away when facing any danger. I just hope Zos does something about these procs overperforming in this current meta.
