CURSE??!?!!

MercTheMage

"Velocious Curse (Daedric Curse morph):
Renamed this morph to Haunting Curse.
This morph no longer shortens the duration of the curse to 3.5 seconds from 6 seconds; instead, it causes the curse to explode a second time after an additional 8.5 seconds."

The *** is this ***?!
Correct me if I'm wrong, and God, please let me be wrong, but the way this reads is: <cast> < 6s > < explode> < 8.5s > <explode> (Total 14.5s)
On the PTS, it was originally <cast> < 6s > < explode> < 6s > <explode> (Total 12s)
EVERYONE hated it, so it got changed to <cast> < 3.5s > <explode> < 8.5s > <explode> (Total 12s) WHICH WAS *** TONS BETTER CAUSE WE STILL HAD VELOCIOUS CURSE BASICALLY

SO BEFORE I QUIT PLAYING MY SORC FOREVER, COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TEL ME THIS IS A TYPO, OR THAT I MISREAD IT, OR THAT I *** SUCK AT MATH OR SOMETHING, CAUSE IM ABOUT *** DONE WITH ESO.
LEAVE SORCS ALONE!!!!!!

FIRST CLASS QUIT THREAD!

Now it's officially a patch day, phew I was worried for a while.

Malamar1229

nvm

AtAfternoon

3.5 < explode> <8.5s> <explode>

leepalmer95

It does both

Explodes 3.5s
Then 8.5s.

It's just a typo i think or you've read it wrong.

The caps have put me off trying to read what you said tbh.

Mashille

I'm assuming It was changed to 6 and 8.5 seconds because at 3.5 Seconds and 8.5 seconds it was busted as hell XD

Its just poor wording...

Here is the PTS version ...

Sorcerer

• Daedric Summoning
  • Haunting Curse (Deadric Curse morph): This morph continues to explode twice per cast, but now explodes once after 3.5 seconds and again after an additional 8.5 seconds.

Developer Comments

We initially changed Haunting Curse to boost Sorcerer PvE DPS by freeing up global cooldowns. Due to the overwhelming response from the community on this change, we’ve decided to allow Curse to retain its previous PvP burst potential while being more effective in PvE. If you want to cast Haunting Curse every 3.5 seconds for fast attacks on blocking targets, that’s an option. If you’d like to get more out of your cooldowns, then only cast it every 12 seconds to get 2 explosions. The choice is yours!

PsychoROFLit

Devs just want to sold all Wardens and kill all classes, remember: never buy Morrowind, bcz this not Expansion, this is DLC

Gruffysb16_ESO

I'm still not sure what the point of the change was......its still better to recast the ability after the first explosion.
I can get 3 explosions in 10.5s if i recast rather than 2 explosions over 12s.

ThePaleItalian

You can recast it to cause it to explode every 3.5 seconds, I am assuming great for PvP

Or have the longer, more powerful blast after the 12 seconds or PvE. Maybe you can switch that either way. I do not play my sorc that much, so if my information is off I apologize.

It looks like the wording or something might be off. Why not just try it out?

DetErMeg

Does that mean that you can re apply the curse after the 3.5 sec explosion and and stack / overlap the explosions? so you get 4x blasts? (while i was typing this started to sound super op)
Or is it useless to apply the curse more then ones every 12 sec?
got to change the gameplay eater way. but it doesn't sound to bad for me. Yes i am a noob
But i see loads of opportunity's by not having to weapon swap like a crazy person to maintain the curse every 3.5 sec
Gives more room for different type of plays. still waiting for servers to pop, So its all in my head.

But it looks good cant wait to try it 4reelz

Biro123

Yeah, I *hope* they have just made a mistake with the wording of the patch notes.

When they say "If you’d like to get more out of your cooldowns" what exactly do they mean?

I guess I can't read or pay attn either.
Did it get updated to live wrong on the tool tip and effects or just the tool tip

DRXHarbinger

So is it 8.5s after initial cast or after the 1st explosion?

Dear God, thank you
So they dun goofed on the patch notes. Good
Thank you for putting the issue to rest, sorcs everyone who's games haven't updated yet are in your debt.

DetErMeg

Please say "After the first explosion"

After the first explosion, as it is on PTS.

I'm PC EU, made a char on NA because... ehm... I'm addicted

DetErMeg

Doesnt that mean that Deadric pray is beter? i mean Haunting Curse is just a lazy version? You can get the same result with Deadric pray pluss you get the pet dmg buff on top. Or is my math way off?
