VERY low damages ... did I miss something?

Sleipnirs · January 2015

Hello!

So I just made a khajiit NB vet 14 to try out some things. I used the ophidian set (with the bow) and another jewel set. I have spent the skill points and stats points I need to play with the bow and everything ... even the champion points (I mainly boosted physical damages and armor pen).

I'm supposed to be an END-geared vet 14 player and it takes me alot of time just to kill a lvl 39 crab!!! I even enchanted my jewels to add physical damages on them and my dps is still VERY low ... lower than the damages I do on the regular server with a V7 character and correct stuff. I have like ~900 physical damage (and I'm pretty sure I had alot more before spending my champion points). EDIT : now 1400 physical damages after a relog. I guess it bugged when I spent the champion points :°

My question is -> is my character/stuff/stats broken OR the monsters are ALOT more tanky than before?

I wish I could use a copy of my character so I can notice exactly what has changed and how the champion points actually impact my stats.

People seem to have more problems with mobs, i think that is bc ZOS added armor and spellres more hp more def etc and forgot to raise our dps

DPS has been raised for many abilities, but maybe not as much for others. A lot of things seem uneven. For example, armor is no longer applied to siege damage in Cyrodiil, yet the damage numbers of firepot and meatbag catapults, even oil pots, seem *really* low given the new scale for the max health stat.

Has anyone tried the Gravel Cats, Lightning Balistas, or Ice Trebs yet? I am hoping those have become useful now.

Not sure if it's your template or something else, but my pure damage nightblade is at 2,554 weapon damage, 29,985 stamina and I can surprise attack V12 mobs for 26,632 dmg (one shot). It's a lot less reliable in PvP for some reason, but I'm certainly doing more dmg than on live right now.

Hmmm, on the sorc damage I am seeing it take 4 C.shards per VR10 zombie trash on PTS, and 3 C.shards per exact same VR10 zombie trash on live. This is on a run with no crits on either server and CS damage is super consistent anyway. I'll try to play around with spell penetration tonight and see if there is a difference.
