This thread is about if you were on the dev team. It is your job to add/ fix TESO. Your boss walks by and asks, "so what do you have for me today?" Your answer would be...
I would add a new (third) resource pool to the game called "Agility" or "Mobility". All currently stamina based defensive abilities would be moved to this resource immediately. This includes Blocking, Dodging, CC Breaking, Sprinting, and anything else I'm forgetting.
I would then explain to my boss that this is part of the rebalancing of Stamina usage in the game. Stating that I was currently working on revamping the stamina based weapon skill lines for viability with changes including but not limited to the addition of ultimates, adjusting of damage values, and additions of more "utility" based abilities (Roots, AoE, stuns, defensive buffs) to the lines.
Finally I would let my boss know that I parked my Ferrari in his spot today... as my contributions have been noticed by the higher ups as the saviour to the game and his services (or lack thereof) would soon no longer be required.

I was thinking something similar for stamina but do we really need another resource? Would having infinite block/roll/cc break really be a bad thing If block was fixed so that you couldn't ability spam while holding it? I think this model would lengthen fights and add a little more strategy to pvp."Brilliant!

✭More players in PVP... I love PVP, but sometimes it seems a little desolate. Perhaps, consolidating the current number of Cyrodiil instances to improve player pop?
Isnt that what they said they are gonna do? And shorten the 90 days to 30?
I also think Cyrodiil will be much more populated when they find that little gremlin that gets people to lag.
I say this because I am one who never ever liked PvP, but battles in Cyro are amazing!
I am confident it will be fixed.Oghur Hatemachine, Guild leader of The Nephilim - EU Megaserver

Making it resourceless would probably require them to completely redo all of the abilities, not just blocking.
If you could eternally spam forward roll (which does evade abilities if time correctly) all we would see is people ninja rolling their way across Cyrodil.
CC break is pretty self explanatory, that would essentially invalidate almost all the CCs in the game its capable of breaking (which is almost all of them).
I think they would need a resource pool of some kind, and it shouldn't have to be tied with either resource pool the player is using for his/her abilities.
Being an un-itemized new resource pool also allows them to completely control the frequency that these moves can be done. Currently players with max stamina and max stam regen can use these abilities a good bit more/more often than magicka builds can (not that this justifies building for stamina or anything).
I agree with your idea though, the less complicated the UI the better and having to keep track of another pool could be annoying, but without that all the current defensive moves would be subject to this:

But rolling, cc break plus block (if fixed) all have animation times. Rolling doesn't evade everything and cc break leaves you stationary and locked into the animation for the duration. Nothing would need to be redone, players would simply need to adapt to the new play style.
This combined with a balancing of dps for weapons and stam builds would become viableEdited by NakedSnake on June 13, 2014 9:36AM"Brilliant! Why is it that the people with the most ridiculous ideas are always the ones who are most certain of them?"0 -
