OVERVIEW

The Elder Scrolls Online v1.6.1 is an incremental patch addressing a number of issues found in the first patch to the PTS. This includes fixes for various animations, abilities, the Justice System, and more.


FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

Alliance War
General
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes resulted in battle-leveled player characters gaining a higher than intended bonus to crit from Enemy Keep bonuses.
  • The Emperor Alliance bonus has been adjusted for the larger combat numbers in this patch. It now grants significantly more health.

Art & Animation
General
  • You will no longer see animations pop on other player characters that follow up a heavy attack with a light attack.
  • Fixed an issue where the dynamic field of view would stop shortly after you start to sprint on a mount.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause you to appear as if you were sliding without playing an animation while stuck in a “T-pose”.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause you to begin walking after landing from a jump. This would typically occur if you reversed your direction mid-jump.
  • Polished some first-person animations, particularly when finishing swings with Dual Wield weapons.
  • You will now play an animation to other player characters while you are in the Champion UI.

Combat & Gameplay
General
  • Abilities purchased on a template character can now be immediately morphed (if that ability has a morph available.)
  • Fixed an issue that was resulting in some player characters not receiving an attribute respec.
  • PVP kills no longer grant Ultimate.
  • Uppercut and Flurry can no longer be interrupted.
  • You can no longer hold block while feared.
  • Updated the prompt that appears when your Skill and Attribute points have been refunded due to gameplay changes for additional clarity and readability.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause monsters and player characters to display the crowd control immunity effect multiple times.
  • Updated the stable tutorial to reflect the new mount system.
  • Fixed an issue that could result in your base Critical Strike rating going lower than intended. Everyone now has a minimum Critical Strike chance of 10%.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented drinking a potion if you already had the same buff or effect that the potion would provide. Now, you will drink the potion and receive any benefit from it that your character doesn’t already have. Drinking a potion will also refresh the same type of buff or effect if the remaining duration is shorter than what the potion will apply.
  • The enchantments on ranged Master’s Weapons (staffs and bows) will now properly deplete when used.
  • The Major Heroism and Minor Heroism buffs now grant Ultimate at the same frequency.
  • The Major Breach buff now has the correct name (instead of Major Spell Shatter) on the Active Effects panel.
  • Fixed an issue so you can now immediately attempt to pick a lock after the clumsy debuff expires.

Dragonknight
  • Ardent Flame
    • Fiery Breath (and its morphs): Fixed an issue where the morphs of Fiery Breath were dealing their damage over time instantly, instead of waiting 2 seconds like the base ability. In addition, the bonus damage an enemy takes from fire, applied by Engulfing Flames, will now properly factor into the damage from the first tick.
    • Shifting Standard (Dragonknight Standard morph): The second standard for this ability will no longer display a warning since it cannot be cast a third time.
  • Earthen Heart
    • Stone Giant (Stonefist morph): When you recast this ability, the stone form visuals applied to your character will no longer flicker.

Nightblade
  • Assassination
    • Assassin’s Blade: Fixed an issue where the glowing execute visual cue for this ability—called Sense Weakness—was not correctly appearing on enemies or NPCs that were Neutral or associated with the Justice System.
    • Death Stroke: Fixed an issue with the timing at the end of this ability.
    • Mark Target: When you use Mark Target, the particle effects that indicate your target is afflicted with Major Fracture and Major Spell Shatter now correctly appear. The particle effects for Mark Target and all of its morphs can now be seen by everyone, not just the target and caster. Also, fixed an issue that was resulting in Mark Target and its morphs making nearby monsters enter combat.
    • Piercing Mark (Mark Target morph): This ability now correctly reveals Vampire players who are using Clouding Swarm.
    • Pressure Points: The tooltip for this passive ability has been adjusted to display only your current critical strike rating bonus.
  • Shadow
    • Dark Cloak (Shadow Cloak morph): Fixed an issue where this ability was not removing the damage over time effects while you were in combat.
  • Siphoning
    • Catalyst: Increased the amount of Ultimate this passive ability restores after drinking a potion to 6/12 from 4/8.
    • Sap Essence (Drain Power morph): Fixed an issue where this ability was healing for more than intended when hitting multiple targets.

    • Blood Magic: Increased healing on both ranks of this ability to 4%/8% maximum health from 3%/5%.
    • Negate Magic: This Ultimate ability now removes enemy-placed effects when it is initially cast instead of constantly for the entire duration of the ability. Also, this ability’s cost has been reduced by 10%.
  • Daedric Summoning
    • Daedric Summoning pets will now reenter stealth if they leave combat and their master is still stealthed.
    • Player characters that enter stealth next to a Sorcerer's Daedric Summoning pet will no longer cause the other player character's pets to enter stealth.
  • Storm Calling
    • Bolt Escape: The disorient portion of Bolt Escape and its morphs has been changed. It now results in a 1.5 second stun and properly triggers crowd-control immunity for the target when the stun effect ends.
    • Boundless Storm (Lightning Form morph): Fixed an issue where the lightning form visuals were being removed before the effect was over.
    • Overload: Increased the damage of Overload light attacks by 50%.

    • Extended Ritual (Cleansing Ritual morph): Fixed an issue that made it possible to activate the Purify synergy more than once.

  • Destruction Staff
    • Destructive Touch (Shock Touch): The tooltip for this ability now displays the correct damage-over-time values for Ranks III and IV.
  • Restoration Staff
    • Fixed an issue where Restoration Expert and Restoration Master were increasing all healing done; this was not working as intended. Restoration Expert and Restoration Master now only increase healing done with Restoration Staff abilities. The ability tool-tips for these passives have been updated to reflect this fix.
  • Two Handed
    • Rally: Casting Rally while crouching and hidden will no longer guarantee you to proc a critical heal.
    • Stampede (Critical Charge morph): Increased the duration of the snare from this ability to 8 seconds from 5 seconds.
    • Wrecking Blow (Uppercut morph): This ability’s damage now correctly scales up with each rank.

  • Heavy Armor
    • Immovable: This ability now grants crowd-control immunity for 5 seconds instead of the full duration of the ability. The maximum rank of this ability and its morphs now lasts for 15 seconds.

    PVP kills no longer grant Ultimate.

    is this combat frenzy or kills in general?

    This is for PVP kills, in general. The Ultimate Combat Frenzy grants was reduced from 25 to 20 at Rank II.

    Does this mean Death Stroke is essentially useless in PvP now? The skill increases the ultimate you gain from kills, so if there is no ultimate to gain (apart from NPCs) why would anyone use this? (Like I have been for months)

    Well at least now you can stun them to try to make a break in damage shields. I just hope it doesn't become too much of a stun war.

    Is the Legerdemain skill Trafficker working as intended? For the first two points it had 120%/140% increase in fence limit. For the first point it went from 50 to 110 but the second point went from 110 to 120? Should it be 140% of the original base of 50 or from the new base of 110?

    All melee abilities with cast times must be uninterruptable or they become useless due to bash spam, venom arrow spam, force shock spam, etc. Melee cast time is much different than ranged cast time, because its much easier to interrupt and much harder to land. Melee is inherently at a disadvantage. Just think about whether snipe gets more kills in pvp, or wrecking blow. The devs are making some great changes. Flurry would be worthless too if it could be interrupted. Same with melee heavy attacks. In the future, they will make ranged heavy attacks interruptable, but melee heavy attacks non interruptable. This helps to compensate for the inherit disadvantage of melee as compared to ranged.

    First off thank you for fixing Surge....although 0.25 seconds seems a little useless, does it really need to have a cooldown?

    Why? WHHHYYYYYY?!?! So what your saying is that someone outside of the area of effect can place lets say a veil of blades in the middle of my negate? cause that makes sense....epic fail here @ZOS.
