Dark cloak is useless now.
Dark cloak is even more useless now after U47. It wasn’t that good to begin with, and now after taking away the extra two seconds from the shadow passive, 3 seconds of heal time is worthless. Can the devs please revert this?

I am either casting frags or exchange at least once in 10 seconds. It has been always like that for me. Plus I dont have to slot Aegis anymore and instead i slotted some shield + protection buff from scribing, so that i can now stack shields up to 25k. And since ESO PvP is very situational, doesnt really matter if the buff is kept all the time or not. So, i am going to disagree for the PvP part.
From my PvP perspective as a brawler stamsorc, it is a downgrade. The problem I have with this 10s duration is exactly the same as Dark Deal’s 10s Minor Berserk. This is essentially just transferring buff micromanagement from 1 skill to another. This time, not only do you have to micromanage the 10% max stam buff, you’ve also lost Minor Force lol. If not for the extra Sundered proc chance and Major Prophecy on BA (which is a nice QoL change but not needed for my build since I already had Major Prophecy), this U47 version is actually weaker than my U46 build in terms of stat.

Re: Swimming mounts should NOT be this much fun!
Holy Cheesemonger, that turns out to be quite splendid and surprising fun, even if for a short while, until novelty wanes. 
The improved speed through water while mounted is definitely helpful encouragement to hit the waters of Tamriel rather than just port & go.

Re: is there a way to turn off the compass distances?
@tomofhyrule Thank you, thank you, thank you for that link, it works!!
I was actually reluctant to log in today after last night's headache, thankfully I can now continue as before.
I'm wondering whether for those that are not so bothered by the numbers if it is maybe the case that they have much larger screens than me? My monitor is pretty small and very old, there is no way that I don't always see those numbers flickering as their values change!

Re: is there a way to turn off the compass distances?
My biggest concern is adding features like this seem like they have to tax the servers at least to some degree. And since the feature is redundant anyway, why'd they add it? Nobody requested it.
I'd very much like the ability to turn off these distance markers. The addition of an on/off toggle should have been a no brainer to include when introducing the system as well.

Re: ROA changes
I'd rather play with the 600+ that showed up for Vengeance, than the 60+ that still enjoy heal stacking, proc sets, ball groups, instant deaths, turtle/burst stalemates decided by RNG weighted coin flips, and LAG. Catering to this tiny population has killed PvP. It's not getting fixed when any given problem is dozens of other problems in a trench coat.JustLovely wrote: »Please stop promoting a game mode you know full well the vast majority of the remaining PvP community hates.

LOL! No, I will not. I won't do anything to help because I don't like PvP. And yet, I'm still forced to go there for a bunch of reasons. I'll do whatever I can to support the enemy team.
"Otherwise the rest of the team is handicapped and that is not fair to them."
Oh... I'm so sad. And do you think it's fair that I'm forced to play content I absolutely hate?
Yeah, it is pretty fair. Certain content has rewards unique to it. You can't get PvE content rewards in PvP content, and vice versa.
What's not fair is when you throw the game for your team. That's only adding to the problem of BGs being one-sided.
After all, no one is forcing you to do anything. You either complete content to get rewards, or you don't. You don't need those rewards.
Re: Swimming mounts should NOT be this much fun!
Awesome addition to the game; finally, after all these years, we're no longer dismounted by touching an ankle-deep puddle.
We did the Guild Mount Race last night around the central island in High Isle, and it was awesome; everyone loved it. Thanks for this ZOS.

Re: If the servers are overtaxed and not functioning properly, everything else is a waste.
Agreed, as long as performance is poor and the core combat/balance is in a bad place, adding new features won't do much. Those two things need to be the top priority for ZOS. If balance and combat improve, but the performance still sucks, people still won't want to play. If performance improves, but the balance remains stagnant, people also won't want to play. At this point they're building the game on a rotten foundation and they need to address it.
I'm just not convinced that performance is taken seriously. Remember when Matt Firor made a post saying that they identified the cause of ESO's performance issues and they would be working on "Server Multithreading" or a server "Rearchitecture" project. They tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug and I'm pretty sure you can't even find that original January 2022 post in English anymore. The whole project turned into vapor without ever really being explained. Stuff like that is why my expectation that performance will ever be addressed is very low.

Cast contingency with charm on it. Ambush/Lotus Fan onto a target. Both ROA and Charm drop on the floor. People get pulled from Narnia and essentially instantly charmed leaving you free to use any other ability combo's.
tbh feels even more broken now because the rush will always be pulling into the charm regardless if your character repositions outside of it (e.g. when dodging).
AOE pull sets have no business in a player vs player environment. This and Dark Convergence have brought eso pvp to its knees. Sad really.
