If you can’t cast anything while hiding, congrats, stealth becomes completely useless in PvP.

Your problem is that your stats are too low to survive that kind of gank. You need more crit resist. Also resistances lower than 28K at minimum gets you killed in most fights.

If by ‘shield’, you mean Hardened Ward, I doubt it was 15K with the Ward nerfs and Battle Spirit.

Basically, you got hit with a run-of-the-mill Destro staff gank. It also sounds like you got popped out of a channel and stunned, which has nothing to do with the build and everything to do with poor timing and/or luck on your part.

23k is your problem
Bump it up to 29-32k and you’ll be fine.

This is exactly why players run all heavy in PvP. It’s to counter gankers and high dps (carry set players) that hang out in the back of groups.

I get hit with combos like this all the time, and never die, unless it’s a massive Zerg and can’t LoS.

Also get your health up to 38-40k.

If you block this combo; roll or even part of it, it should only do half the your health or less.

I run 32k resists and 4400 crit resists with major/minor prot and tbh you will still feel squishy. Until zos makes the subclasses unable to stack the crit damage sources you will be squishy no matter what. Merciless is the other main issue right now where it does 2x of most damage skills every 5s with an extra heal, major bonus, and passives tied along with it.

The only real tankiness comes from blocking or role dodging, however with warden charm and so many people running javelin, there is a good chance you will get caught unless you live within your cc immunity pot.

These last couple of weeks, I played a 45k hp, 45k armor warden and a 30khp 14k armor one and the second felt much better. The difference? The second one had maxed crit resists, max speed, a lot of crit damage, a reliable ranged stun, and wasn't using dswing.

This you t-bagging for a minute straight because you got ganked once?
While in offline mode so can't even get whispered.
Stick to streaking 5x in a row whenever in a 1v1.

Lmao, imagine ganking and T-bagging people, but start to complain the moment you get ganked.

Lmao, caught in 4k

The problem is i am traveling from all the way south to the north castle alone, it takes like 5 minutes. Sometimes faregyl is the castle i start traveling. And i like to play like that to take the challenge. I sometimes enjoy watching the fights without interfering. I dont appreciate it, when a random guy decides to have a 40k opener on my standing still character. Most of the time you can kill me like that, since i have a glass cannon pure magsorc.

People report me tbagging after i kill them and i got warnings several times for that, but i would indeed appreciate some respect for the players who just wants to play the game. Every time someone kills me from the standing position that is another 5 minutes travel time for me, and i dont have a lot of time to play the game, i just want to enjoy my playtime, but i sometimes will have to travel very frequently, because this keeps happening.

You can report someone for tbagging which does not interfere in any way with their game and this is punishable but the behaviour i have described is accepted in this game. And now i am playing in Offline mode, since tbagging is not punishable alone, only if other player tell you to stop and you dont stop. Guess what, you cant whisper me. You wont be able to issue warnings to my account, since we wont be communicating. I got set up several times like that in the past and got warnings issued to my account, now i am not bothering with the whispers anymore.

Being able to having 40k+ openers out of blue shouldnt be allowed. This is very unhealthy gameplay. Just change it so that you can do that kind of damage from stealth only if you are already engaged in combat. Otherwise there are these kind of players that just want to grief other people and what is the point of that? Why should i need 50k defences and 5k resistances just because this can happen? This is one of the many broken gameplay mechanics of ESO PvP, which a lot of players abuse, this is not a feature. What is the point of killing a standing still AD watching a fight between DC and EP, especially when you know the player traveled there alone and will have to travel another 5 minutes if you just kill them like that? This is pure griefing.

And about streaking 5 times a row, it is not about escaping from 1v1s, when you play in a far away castle, you can almost be 100% sure that this "fair" "1v1" will escalate to a "fair" "5v1" before you can even notice it. So no thanks, there are no "1v1"s in Cyrodiil there are only your friends crouching near you waiting for the correct time to get out of stealth. You dont need to escape from 1v1s in ESO, they are very stale (except this new blastbones, grim focus, overload, streak build, when i see that coming, i streak away for my life).

Lastly about my build, i cant gank anyone, i play the most predictable playstyle ever that exists in ESO since like 10 years, i still play curse overload frags combo with only max stat sets so no procs as well, so you just block it or dodge it whenever you see the purple cloud around you and you know that it will explode, cant get any easier..

I remember u complaining here year ago, seems didn't learn anything

Khajiit feels that if you are running offline with the obvious intent of blocking people from communicating with you, then it should be assumed that you know folks wish for you to stop. This should result in an automatic warning if anyone complains about it.

@Major_Toughness Ok whatever, but at least please just edit your comment to remove my quoted wall of text. I already wrote a huge wall of text, you dont have to quote it direcly next post. Even my post alone was too long, you made it twice as long now.

Irony.

Why do you all keeping quoting my long text is my next question now Anyway, i am keeping myself in Offline mode and also will continue tbagging the hell out of everyone in Cyrodiil. So i will let you updated if i will get a punishment for that.

"I would appreciate some respect..."

Yet you tbag people lmao. Grow up, slap on some more resists, and maybe you won't get one-shot.

The question is why would you do that, when there is a standing player there, you know that it will be a one-shot kill, and the other player will have to ride again for 5 minutes just to be able to play the game. What is your motivation here? There is no active combat, there is no game to be played, there is only frustration and unfairness caused. Like why?

It's PvP, do they need motivation for killing other players? They're preventing you from getting to your destination. That's literally the entire point of ganking and it's been a staple of PvP since PvP has existed.

Only that it is not. In a MMORPG PvP, being able to kill someone that has a normal build instantly without any time for reaction while not being in an active combat is not PvP, it is called bad combat gameplay design, and it is abused by players that look for unfair advantage in online games. Can you do this in Guild Wars 2 WvW? No. Why? Because they designed it. So there is that.

I am hoping one day they will add a skill similar to Magic Reflection in Ultima Online, which reflects the first hit to you and the spell will be consumed, which we can then use like how we used Assault Skill to speed up horse prior to they shifted that effect to the passive. This no counterplay, no time for reaction, instant one-shot nonsense is going on since too long time now.

The counterplay is building tankier, as everyone has been trying to tell you. You're built like paper in a patch where damage is extremely high. You could slot plenty more crit resist, you're under 30k health in a patch when 35k+ is advised, and you're nowhere near a high enough resistance for this patch.

You're not in a "normal build". You're squishy.

If i am having no problems in engaging normal fights, i am not squishy. As i said, there are different playstyles and builds, not everyone has to play a 40k hp tank. I never have a problem with my build in fights. The main point of a RPG is that you can choose to play a barbar style tank, you can play a shield and board guy, you can play 2H high damage builds, you can play a glasscannon sorcerer which is dangerous if you cant get close, etc.. From Ultima Online to WoW to Souls series to Diablo, this has been the main point of RPGs, different valid playstyles, i dont want to comment further about ESO combat gameplay design, since i feel like i am pushing this thread to getting locked, so i am going to stop here, but if a sorcerer in any video game needs high defences or "heavy" armor to be able to be considered valid, there has to be a problem there, this is not how sorcerers function in video games.

What is your build then? I bet you play one of those 40k max resist wardens. Of course you will not notice these problems with that kind of build.
