Broken tank builds in PVP CYRODILL.
The Lies from the developers that they would make significant changes in Cyrodill is obviously the truth. you have resistances that scale so high now and cc immune sets that make tanks literally invincible and also able to just burn your siege ever die and slaughter valuable pugs. im disgusted, spell pen does nothing literally nothing, even with the very weak bonuses to Sundering, we cant touch tanks the warden Necromancer and Templars these days have been made invincible to casting classes unless you build stamina and do only a bleed build magicka at the moment is useless, the current developers are failures for letting this happen and giving sets for healers and tanks mostly for the past 5 major updates. im disgusted, no balance at all! Play another MMO if you want to play with magic.

PvP in the game is trash. Before I quit, I was regularly tanking 20-30 people even 50 on the breach getting hit with coldfires at 8K resist because of % reduction in damage.

Ball groups struggled to kill me and I had infinite mag/stam.

Even sorcs couldn't do anything to my templar. There needed to be super gankers and like 5-6 of them that would catch me without me being able to break free and roll.

Since I play with 20-50 ping even in primetime, I also had the advantage in server priority and lag vs. everyone else.

At any rate, PvP in the game isn't fair and hasn't been for a LONG time.

The developers simply don't know how to balance the game and instead listen to nubs like StaticWave on the forums and implement their terribad ideas, even when they contradict ZOS' own previous balance decisions.

Example? ZOS put a heal on sorc ward because PvP sorc players cried about healing, even though:

1. Sorc was already overpowered with it, power surge healed adequately and is arguably the bet heal in the game (can proc curse eater and other sets, plus if you have high crit is a better HoT than anything else when DoT stacking, plus it gives a necessary buff and raises weapon and spell damage)

2. dark deal could just be spammed, and

3. matriarch and clannefar existed.

If sorc needed a one button heal, it should have been put on DARK DEAL/DARK EXCHANGE or they could have boosted the heal on that skill and NOT put it ON HARDENED WARD.

^ That change was also nonsensical because a few patches ago HEALING WARD WAS NERFED AND CHANGED FROM HAVING A BURST HEAL INTO A WEAK HOT BECAUSE ZOS SAID THE BURST HEAL WAS TOO MUCH.

So then how the hell is a burst heal on HARDENED WARD, a skill that gives more shielding than healing ward (restoration staff skill accessible to everyone, but forced you to use restoration staff) -- and heals over 3x what healing ward's old burst used to be? :steamhappy:

Wanna know how? Because the dev team literally has no clue what they are doing and cannot follow a ruleset.

When that is the case, the game's balance is nonexistent.
all mmorpg have sucky pvp. if you want multiplayer free for all pvp, then simply move to a game that caters that game mode.

tldr pvp was always unbalanced trash in ESO, but i admit pvp can be fun if you play ganker/bomber
The promotion of the tank trolls gameplay in last years has felt like controlled PvP destruction.
Now I am very surprised that ZOS started focusing on the PvP part, as if destroying PvP in ESO was not their long-standing intention.

You are a walking cliche mr Alf one day when you grow up and become a man you will see how silly all of this is.

I don't know why this is so hard, even Guildwars 2 has been pulling this off (albeit smaller in scope) with WvW for years and PVP and PVE

I know some skills 'work differently in pvp' but it seems most are 1 worded as 1 to 1

They are also way more generous with bank bag and material slots by a lot

No one aint never read their books neither I reckon

This. MMO PvP is cancer. Always has been and always will be.

Even if you have an MMO where the PvP starts out well, it won't take long before the devs utterly destroy it. These idiots will try to balance the game around the top 1% of players and completely ruin it.
