Re: The Major Class Overhaul Coming: Why I think Buffing is better than Nerfing
what your idea for apart balance pvp and pve?
like...Animal Companion maybe is tier 1 line in pvp
but sametime in pve it just a joke line,
if it want in pve good, it will overpower
and if assassin line now do 200% dmg,in pve maybe is few good but still suck for aoe,but in pvp will be 1 shot bow kill 40-50k health character
old patch have many nerf for nb ,it the weakest pve class got nerf ,just assassin in pvp too strong
and you idea is buff all dps skill so now we have all class can one shot anything?

Game needs a massive overhaul.
Re: stop with "accomplish a BG" in daily endeavors
I don't do BGs for endeavors, but I find myself with those who want to quickly participate in a BG and quickly finish it the day it comes up in the list of 5 possibilities.
IF it is happening to you consistently then that suggests a large number of novice PvPers are joining BGs. So why are they not all being matched against each other?
Your complaint simply isn't valid because the problem isn't novices joining, it's an MMR problem, possibly worsened by a population problem. So why lay the blame on the novices and not the system?

The more I read and try to understand these comments the most confused and off base they are.
here is the specific comment thread
AMA @ZOS_BrianWheeler
Can someone clear up for me what is going on here?
As far as I can tell consumables are WAY over powered right now in the game, but the devs don't want to nerf them because it would be such a huge loss of power, but the content is created based on the values as they should be, not as they currently are.
And that's why they can't finish hybridization.

Re: Hardened ward
Sorc is in a state, sadly.
My Sorc character has been my main for years and IMO Sorcs claim to fame was really their utility. I’ve always felt Sorc damage was “mid” because of the nature of the mechanics, many of the damage output abilities requiring the opponent to “stand in the stupid” which, nobody does.
Crystal Frags takes a back seat to Distro staffs Crushing Sock or scribed Weld Soul. Dark Conversion takes a back seat to Healing Soul or Healing Contingency. Haunting Curse isn’t overly effective, any player knows to pop their self heal @ 3 & 8 seconds to negate the two bursts; you can do more damage over the same time with any spammable .. as for Mages Wrath; that one’s popular but I feel the bigger reason people subclass Storm Calling is for Lightning Form. Since they nerfed Wrath it’s timing window of effectiveness in PvP makes it woeful as an execute when compared to Assasin’s Blade or Radiant.
As for Ward, it shouldn’t block crits.
I agree with what’s been said above, nobody is subclassing Daedric Summoning or Dark Magic because they’re basically poo. Sadly because of Sorc passives we can only give up so many base class abilities before losing damage potential. I dumped Dark Magic for Aedric Spear. I don’t slot the abilities it’s just that the passives are better than Dark Magic.
As for Ward, here’s the thing, yes, burst heals will always be superior to a shield and now, with subclassing, self healing is through the roof. That said; Ward, like any shield; is preventative. Your play style in order to effectively use Ward means pairing it with other attributes and adjusting your rotation accordingly. Ward is arguably the strongest ability based damage shield in the game and really has more niche use IMO.
The small heal Ward used to provide would give the player a tad more leeway in terms of timing of use, but losing that didn’t really change the nature of the shield itself. I agree it could use a touch of a secondary effect but make no mistake, Ward isn’t a get out of jail free card nor should it be. It’s a utility for a play style that’s very damage preventative, maintaining a consistent uptime to prevent damage from chunking you into execute range in the first place. In order to use Ward now you really have to build into supporting it and, in PvP it’s very non meta and niche. It’s do-able and has use cases, but far fewer than it used to.

Re: Reddit AUA (Ask Us Anything) Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 2:00 PM ET/ 18:00 UTC
First off, go back and buff old sets.
It's that simple.
There are LOTS of sets which are just BAD. Run it through your spreadsheet and you'll be like "oh, that's a weak set"
You can ignore all the proc sets even. Just focus on the pure number sets and you'll see that A LOT OF SETS ARE BAD.
Secondly, take the things in the crown store and PUT THEM IN THE GAME.
You know what I can't get from killing Valkyn Skoria or doing City of Ash 2, or collecting all the sets there?
I'll give you a super subtle hint
Put it in the game. Let me get the thing specifically related to the dungeon by doing the dungeon.

Re: EU servers down?
Never played a single game in my life that has as much downtime as ESO, it's beyond a joke now...

The scheduled 18-hour maintenance (which may or may not take that long) is hardware maintence, not the usual software maintenance. Hardware maintenance is much more rare and is done to improve the servers themselves, so it's a good thing and not a bad thing.
They did one not so long ago so it’s not rare at all these days
