Cast time is not channeled.
Fatecarver, Puncturing Strikes, Radiant Destruction, Flurry (dual wield), and Soul Strike are channeled abilities.
Now for the damage over time portion, the second half of Stampede where it lays the aoe on the ground does count as does Cleave/Carve, Lightning Staff Destructive Reach or either Wall of Elements is damage over time.

Re: More on the Microsoft lay offs, it's grim.
As tempting as it is to lay 100% of the blame on Microsoft, ZOS has to take some of the blame here.
ESO lost a bunch of long term players (mini whales) from the tone deaf changes in patch 35 and then tried to replace them with newer players, most of which moved on after a few months after spending $20.
It was a poor long term strategy to fluff up the numbers which eventually caught up with them.

Re: Your Play Experience b/t Update 45 and Update 46 with Subclassing and Scribing In Base Game
Did your ability to play and/or complete certain types of game content improve after the launch of Update 46?
Yes, I find everything I do in the game has an increased fun factor. From theorycrafting, to farming, to clearing content, I absolutely love subclassing!

Re: Population shrinking, please BRING CROSSPLAY QUICK
I don't want cross play there so many problems and is such a bad idea that it deserves a thread of its own.
I want cross save and to be able to port my Xbox character to PC
Elite Dangerous did something like this when they dropped support for console a few years back you could export your character from console to PC it was free and came with a free copy of the game for PC. I wish ZOS would do this and with Microsoft owning Zenimax this should be possible to do.
The only problem is having to rename characters and maybe changing the account name other than that I don't see why importing your character from console to PC can't be done.

Re: More on the Microsoft lay offs, it's grim.
Unfortunately, these things happen in the business world all of the time. Not pleasant but not unusual in any way. Perhaps, they will now stop wasting money, time and resources on this Vengeance nonsense.
Yeah, PvE seems to be the biggest money maker, so they'll probably wind down PvP testing and maintenance.

Re: Hard Group Checks in U47 Dungeons
Last night I needed to solo Lep Seclusa (normal) for a screenshot I needed (I might add this was on my Oakensoul non-Subclassed pet sorcerer I use for IA) and it was so fun! I had done it only once before, but at some point, I’m going to have to run it with groups for the skill style locked behind vet achievements, I’m NOT looking forward to that level of difficulty! But I love challenging myself with dungeons on normal. That’s why I’ve always wished they would not have these types of mechanics blocking the way. If the bosses are just too hard for me to get past, that’s one thing, and I could always try to improve my build and try again for the fun of it, or group up.
And sometimes I want to solo dungeons for my Stickerbook, and a lot of times my playtime gets interrupted for various real world reasons, and I would hate to be in a group when that happens and inconvenience them by having to leave suddenly. That’s another big reason I want to try to solo normal dungeons. With me, it’s always about not wanting to inconvenience other players, not worrying about inconveniencing myself. There have been times when I’ve been running a dungeon with a group and my spouse wants me to stop playing and do something, and I always reply, “But I’m doing a group activity!” and this doesn’t make them at all happy so I get to suffer later. 😂

Re: More on the Microsoft lay offs, it's grim.
@ZOS_Kevin I really appreciate the fact you wish to keep this thread open and I would ask all posters to be mindful of this and not be unduly antagonistic or argumentative!
I believe most of the people on these forums are here because they actually love ESO, tempers can run high and arguments can happen BUT in this thread we are talking about the people who make and run this game, times are rough for them at the moment and they deserve our respect, for a job well done given the pressures upon them!

Re: Save Error on PS
I have found a workaround for the Save Error problem. But it is going to take a lot of work. This is the process:
PRELIMINARY PROCEDURE
1. Delete all the add-ons you have installed. Really, all of them and don't forget the libraries that me be left behind.
2. Close Elder Scrolls Online (really close it, so if you are in the game, use the PS button (single press) then go in the bar to the game select it and choose close game.
3. Go to the Playstation Settings - Saved Data and Game/App Settings.
4. Select the Upload - Delete option
5. Delete the local saved data from Elder Scrolls Online
6. Go back one page
7. Go to the Automatic upload option
8. If you have auto upload turned on, make sure you disable it for Elder Scrolls Online (if at first you don't see the list, turn auto save fully off and back on, and then you see the list where you can deactivate auto upload on a per game basis)
9. Start Elder Scrolls Online. You will first have to do all kinds of Elder Scrolls Online screen settings as those were also stored in the local save game. (Note, I have noted that if you select your server (NA or EU), it doesn't always take the right one at first, so after selecting that, you can choose it again, so switch to the other server and then back to the one you want)
10. Login with a character and first go to Options and set every base-game setting the way you want it as some settings have been reset due to deleting the save game file.
11. Logout
12. Close Elder Scrolls Online (same as in step 2)
13. Go to Playstation settings - Saved Data and Game/App Settings
14. Go to the Upload - Delete option
15. Now upload the local save game to the Playstation Cloud (overwrite the file that may be already there)
INSTALLING ADD-ONS
1. Start up Elder Scrolls Online
2. In the character selection screen, press triangle for options then go to Add-ons. Install one and only one add-on (it may also automatically install some libraries, but that is okay)
3. Login with a character
4. Change the settings for the just installed add-on the way you want it set-up (if it has settings on a per character basis, you can also do that in one-go or decide to be safe and upload the changed settings after each character if the Save Error did not occur)
5. When you have set the add-on up and so far haven't encountered the save error, Logout Out (this forces the game to save all settings)
6. Wait a few seconds. If the Save Error doesn't show up continue with the next step. If the Save Error did show up, follow the steps below under Save Error Occurred.
7. To be completely sure: close the game, start it again, load a character and check if the settings you made have actually been saved. If not, treat it is if a Save Error has occurred.
8. Fully close the game again (same as before)
9. Go to Playstation settings - Saved Data and Game/App Settings
10. Go to the Upload - Delete option
11. Now upload the local save game to the Playstation Cloud (overwrite the file that is already there)
12. Repeat this from step one of the Installing Add-Ons section for each add-on you want.
SAVE ERROR OCCURRED
1. Uninstalled the last installed add-on(s) where the Save Error occurred after setting it up.
2. Fully close Elder Scrolls Online
3. Go to Playstation settings - Saved Data and Game/App Settings
4. Go the download section
5. Now download the save game from the Playstation Cloud to your local PS5 (overwrite the file that is already there)
6. Now go back with the Installing Add-Ons sections to reinstall the add-on and set it up again.
SOME NOTES
Basically, it all comes down to when everything went fine after installing a new add-on and setting it up, logout to force the game to save the settings in the save game file. If the Save Error does not show up, copy the save game to the cloud as a backup of a situation where the save game file isn't corrupted.
If at a later stage, you make any changes to an add-on or base-game setting and you don't get the Save Error after loggin out, upload the save game file to the cloud.
Every time you do get the Save Game Error, close the game and download the save game file from the cloud, restoring the settings to the situation where the error didn't occur and the save game file is not corrupt. If the Save Game Error occurred after installing a new add-on, first delete that add-on before downloading the save game from the cloud.
I am not sure yet how it will go when the Save Error pops-up after installing an add-on update. Not sure if it is just a matter of downloading the previous save-game file or if if will be necessary to delete the add-on first. I'll let you know if every get into this situation (but I hope not)
I hope this is of some help to everyone who experiences the Save Error.
P.S one additional warning: don't think too soon that everything works fine after installing an add-on and setting it up. I had the bad fortune that the last add-on I installed seemed to not give the error, so I uploaded the save-game file only to discover a few minutes later that it hadn't save the settings after all. So, I inserted a step in the prodedure.
