One of my first gripes with ESO was that I appeared to be being hit in hand to hand combat whilst hugely outside of an opponent's weapon range (whilst not being able to strike back). Apparently there's a reason for this, the logic of which escapes me as it really just seems to force toe to toe slugfests; this feeling hasn't improved over time!

One of the key components to hand to hand combat, when you're not playing a tank, is movement and agility and moving in and out of range; this just doesn't work in ESO and I've been struck numerous times whilst well out of range (including by a troll I was standing some fifteen feet behind!), I'm also getting hit by skills despite being well outside of their red zone of effect as well as heat seeking missile attacks (the issue seems to be walking/sprinting out of the zone/range rather than rolling).

I've watched other characters seemingly throw every skill they have repeatedly at a slightly lower level beastie dealing as much damage as possible in as short a time to win, but I'm struggling to out manoeuvre and wear down an opponent with lower damage attacks; not really a case of 'play the way you want to'. On the odd occasion I've managed to avoid attacks the opponent seems to get board, its health returns to full and it wanders off.

I do know that MMOs (this is my first) play differently to FPSs but they don't seem to invite the variety of play that they might.
