This just feels ... meh ..

raasdal · January 2017

Just browsed through all the balancing changes. And the feeling that it leaves me with is just - meh... I don't see any big changes to PvP balance.

I don't see how any changes will affect mDK's in a significant manner

Nothing is being done regarding EoTS

The general HA Meta is not being dealt with.

There is no balancing of Item Sets. Besides from the no-crit nerf of proc sets, i was expecting individual adjustments as well.

In general, i don't see anything really changing based off these Patch Notes.

What are you feelings, based on initial reading of the Patch Notes?

but a 5% nerf to eye of the storm and totally ruining sorc as a class isn't balance enough?

Well tbh - sorcs are off pretty easy compared to ranged magblades (ranged).

The curse is pretty much meh now but still a pretty good backbar ability.

If infernal guardian only targets people in line of sight that´s a tremendous buff for sorcs.

[*]The Tel Var Lockbox Merchant is now known as the "Tel Var Jewelry Lockbox Merchant".
They now sell Jewelry Boxes for each Imperial City item set; these boxes contain a gold-quality piece of random jewelry from that item set.

These jewelry pieces can possess the Healthy, Robust, or Arcane item trait depending on the item set.

hey look on this, now you dont need to have black rose on armor, now you can get jewerly to this and go with any other better heavy armor set or crafted heavy armor set with still have wotking black rose

TYVM ZOS FOR UPGRADE TO HEAVY ARMOR META, now we can say more bb to light or meium armors because this is just *** in pvp, medium armor only viable to stam NB because of stalth and light aarmor to mag NB mecause of cloak, rest will have much better surviv with sustain with heavy armor

- not much less damage in heavy because of wrath passive
- much more resists
- additional healing taken
- additional max health
- additional sustain by constituion passive with black rose
- more resurce return from heavy attacks
- much cheaper break free

light armor:
- penetration (not much better than stacked wrath passive)
- magic cost reduction and rege (look on constitution passive in heavy + more resource return from heavy attack)
- lack of resists, survivability and sustain not better than heavy armor
- ......no more bonuses by just wearking light armor

medium armor:
- bonus weapon damage replaced by wrath passive
- dodgeroll const reduction replaced by break free cost reduction
- bonus for stealth, meh, viable only to NB to have viable bonus from this
- stamina regen and cost reduction same as with light armor case
- faster and cheaper sprinting...only for run away if you can lol, in heavy armor you jsut stand in place and killing everything while tanking it
- also lack of resists

can anyone tell me ffs I may use light or medium armor insted of heavy armor if I playing in open fight, no in stealth? from my perspective I dont see any good reason to wear anything other than heavy armor

It just feels more bipolar then balanced from reading . Waiting to log in and test first hand .

I think ZoS is trying to deal with power creep by nerfing us all a bit. My magblade is sweating, that's for sure.

I do like the changes to the VMA loot table and the new master crafting writs. Trying to stay positive until we see this in action on the PTS, but yeah, right now 'meh' is exactly how I feel.
