Basically: This game has 0 classes… your playstyle is your class. if you’re forced to play a specific playstyle, that ain’t right. in any aspect of the game.

more mitigation will ALWAYS be the meta for large scale pvp, no matter how big the difference will be. right now its about 20% more - sounds reasonable to me.
some range dps in light armor is still valuable and is worth protecting.
even with these a main const tank is still useless in PVP so if they nerf heavy armor they need to add something for const players
it wouldn’t be nerffing heavy armor. it would be nerffing spell casters who use heavy armor. and making heavy armor the only thing useful towards melee/range melee physical res- not spells.
Heavy armor = Higher physical -lower elemental resistances and -50% spell effectiveness
Medium armor = half and half - no bonuses
Light = High elemental res and lower physical resistances +20% or w/e it is now but fixed.

if you decide to run con, you will have a shitton HP for “tanking” , i dont see how this would effect a tank that is “tanking”. even if elemental dmg is increased in pvp vs heavy armor, well guess what it shouldn’t be unbeatable and then elemental dmg owuld be its counterplay. just as a Melee with a GA is prolly gonna counter that mage in light gear (if it catches it) and just like that the tank can counterplay the melee by simply not dying. u get this little triangle thing going where 1 thing checks another. actually i am very familiar with this concept, look no further then Archeage.
Mage dmg buffed in light, less CC time being in the CC’s. and ud get the light armor buff giving u goodies for healing and magic
medium armor was the middle ground, rangers, glass cannon dps was wearing this mostly, and in general people who wanted to find the middleground between heavy taking more magic dmg and light taking more melee dmg, it was pretty well done. Tho NW has dodges. wich change also on weight of total armor, and i think people are putting too much emphasis on the dodges instead of rlly seeing the issue.
If i see a healer on the frontline tanking and healing at the same time (dont be confused with off-healing tank) then there is something wrong XD or we are going in a new age where the dps stay behind the healer, and healers peel off the healers attacking your dpsers XD (LOL)

you probably have never played tank that shitton of hp is useless because the others have a shitton of damage and if you want to stay alive you have to use a shield which makes you slower and stamina can easily be broken so you are a sitting duck waiting to die because you can’t reach them to attack
you forget most OP healers run full tank. just this morning after patch- we had people complaining on the other team about how our team has “Tanks” lolol ahhh…
Are tanks bad? sword/shield has a good ability called leaping strike that is great for mobility if you’re in heavier armor- I even seen a full tank use rapier as his off-hand just for Fleche. Seen him kite like 12 people in OPR. But he had life staff so… can’t really say how well he was kiting because every time he was half HP he’d be back to full life in 1 sacred ground/beacon/self heal, regen pot, health pot while in sacred ground etc etc.
these are not main const if you call whoever has a heavy armor tank then we cant talk about it
also, that sword and shield leap is like a couple of steps
Heavy armor needs to run slower. That will give light at least a chance to survive.
With the fire staff nerfs, and greataxe reap buffs, hitting into heavy armor is a complete joke now. It almost feels like pre resil fix. Its actually sad how firestaff builds have gotten completely shit on vs left click auto stun lock meta tank meta. Can’t even swap weapons during a greataxe hit, so cringe.
Atleast lifestaff are killable now, barely.
I would ask also to reduce than all mele damage in heavy armor for 75% than. Especially WH/GA in heavy armor should have 95% damage dealing reduction.
How is tanking a dps for 5 minutes useless in pvp
because they don’t want things to make sense.
at one point when sacred ground and beacon were up- I deal 1400 a few times and his health only went up even while CCed and rended
The mixture of heavy armor and life staff folks…
This makes 0 sense. The English and the suggestion.
if I ran lifestaff… S/S with full heavy load- it’s going to take multiple/several people to kill me. that’s the problem… It should be more consequential to sit there and do nothing while typing and still outheal DPS…
it’s useless in 1 on 1 PVP for example you Flagg to go farm for bonus luck
see how useless s&s is in 1 on 1 pvp? i know life staff is quite broken but this happens to me all the time because im focused on contitution and dont have enough ways to damage them
Yeah it’s rough with s and s and hammer, you need a burst build like rapier to kill them. I’ve 1v1d a lot of heavy armor healer post patch and can usually down them with firestaff rapier if I time it right but I feel you. I have to hit a pof into fireball into rapier burst off their CD timings to do it. If I miss once they heal
