    The more the meta changes the more it stays the same.

    I take pride in crushing these no talent scrubs whilst handicapping myself with a Stamina spec. It's like routinely winning fights with one hand tied behind my back. My superior skill is undeniable in those moments, and that's all that matters to me in PvP: affirmation that I'm better than someone else at the game. As for PvE, I've solo'd all the way through to VR10 zones, nothing all that impressive or difficult for my build, except for one or two world bosses.
  • wpitterlb14a_ESO
    I just lol at all the bitching as the nerfs have only hit abilities and mechanics I had long expected to be nerfed (talons, standard, bash) or don't use (magma armor, ult spamming through use of tons of aoe). I was disappointed to see the change in ult gain from critical hits, but honestly I can barely even tell the difference in game, feels like my ult is available almost any time I want it.

    Meanwhile I'll keep stomping faces with my stamina based 1h+shield/bow with 7/7 med armor build.

    The repeated nerfs to tanking skills via 1h & s and dk skills. We arent survivable, we arent tanks. And before anyone says l2p, roll a 1h & s dk or a 2h dps dk on PTS and take on at level content and see for yourselves.

    Well now.. you see.. Those are not strictly DK tools of choice. Try another item that is simply related to DK's please.

    Edit: You said DK skills, but what exactly please.

    As a sobering dose of realism for you still OP DKs. Roll a Templar 1h/s or 2H dps and try to handle VR content and end game content. DKs still need adjusted.

    I certainly would have preferred Zenimax had been pro-active in balancing but apparently it will occur in the negative by nerfing.

    Next round please!

    I haven't done this yet but I'm starting to think it's for the best as the nerf has pretty much destroyed other possible builds for the sake of toning the LA+staff build down.

    I thought I'd wait it out a month or two, playing alt chars, until I see what the end result of this "rebalancing of classes" will be.

    I dont really understand this poll.

    But even before ESO was released. I decided on a race, the class DK and to build myself as a tank. Group/raid tank in my case.

    Since I can read, I know that ESO is a skill based MMO, and if it had any good company that takes care of the game, then BALANCE would be a constant thing.

    The "repeated nerfs" as you call it, is called balancing. What it has made me to do, is trusting Zenimax to keep developing the game as balanced as they can, and by doing so is a long lasting game for me.

    The changes that been made to my build, not only have it made me a better player, because I needed to adapt to a playstyle I was used to, but also gives me new ideas how to build/act/adapt in different situations.

    What I am seeing is some players are determined to further enhance their skills when not much was needed. Then we have players that don't simply agree with the changes because it is now "hard" for them. Am I wrong?

    I welcome changes such as these. I would rather see a weapon skill or class skill being changed little by little. Then a complete overhall to an entire class at once.

    We are going to continue to see this.. Adapt. Share what you feel was changed incorrectly and provide raw data/examples of how bad of an impact it truly had.

    Keep in mind.. Comparing one class to another alone is simply wrong. PvE is an important aspect of the game too. Since they are not keeping the two areas separate it must be a true headace trying to keep both "balanced" ...

    I wouldn't have as much of a problem with the balancing if there were free respecs.

    As it stands now, you might build into a LA staff guy and get the bat next week. Getting the bat costs a lot of money.

    My vote was not only for DKs but for all classes. Classes are the root of my discontent.
