I thought Zenimax was fixing this?

I thought Zenimax was going to fix vet trash mob damage? I am convinced that ranged trash mob damage ignores all resists and just wrecks players. and before people start saying block it is a bit much to ask players to spam skills while holding block all the time I dont think that was zenimax's intention.

So in Auridon npc quick shots are doing 365 damage each and thrown daggers are doing 713 damage per shot thats with 1775 spell resists and 1225 armor..isnt that a bit much?

Armor and spell resists don't really mean much to these super NPCs. That 1225 armor is like a 12% reduction in damage and when the broken NPC's are spamming special attacks at you, even if you block them they are still going to hurt.

I tried to fight some VR9 skeletons last night, pack of three melee. Even while blocking, their uppercuts are doing 400 dmg, quick strikes every second for 180 and dagger throws for 350. Needless to say I finished the fight with 30% hp left.

It's either they don't know how to fix it or it's a very low priority for them. I've made many, many in game bug reports and tons of posts on the forums. I've responded to community mod when they asked what mobs are doing the damage and where they are located. So far they've not responded to any of threads in support forum over the issue, beyond asking us where the mobs are.

It's a shame too, because in the future there will be less and less high level players because no one want's to deal with that.

EDIT: I can tell you as well, it's still like that on the PTS. No changes.
