Blood Spawn gear got nerfed to 15 ultimate instead of 25...wow

Things that are too strong are getting balanced. This is a good thing. I am still trying to collect my blood spawn shoulders

PVP kills no longer grant Ultimate.

is this combat frenzy or kills in general?

This is for PVP kills, in general. The Ultimate Combat Frenzy grants was reduced from 25 to 20 at Rank II.

Quick question!

I believe in the fighter guild skill line there is the slayer passive? Idk if thats the correct passive but I know there is one that grants 9 ultimate when killing an undead.

Does this count for killing player vampires as well? and If i have the master hunter passive will i gain 9 ulti for killing players in Werewolf form?

P.S. thank you for the Bosmer update!!!

AlnilamE

Thank you!

Will the NA Characters be copied again with the next patch? I would like to test the loss of items, among other things.

Brewers and chefs no longer sell Provisioning ingredients. Why would they empower you to produce your own goods? They want you to consume theirs.
Grocers now sell provisioning ingredients for 150 gold per item.

How is this going to affect the stale items in our inventory? The original idea was to give us 10g per item so that new items can be purchased. Now, we can't buy items from brewers and chefs and those we can buy from a grocer cost 150g.

Our work on racial passives is ongoing. We have read the thread you linked, as well as others. With the recent changes from today's patch, which specifically do you feel could use looking at?

health regen is awful
Frost resist is useless

3% health increase and the damage decrease are the only two that are worth anything.

Blood Spawn nerf. ugh. That sucks. Weeks of grinding in the toilet.

Uninterruptable Wrecking Blow is going to be interesting.

Oh...they removed Dawnbreakers cast time also...Now that's really interesting, as it eats Vampires

All melee abilities with cast times must be uninterruptable or they become useless due to bash spam, venom arrow spam, force shock spam, etc. Melee cast time is much different than ranged cast time, because its much easier to interrupt and much harder to land. Melee is inherently at a disadvantage. Just think about whether snipe gets more kills in pvp, or wrecking blow. The devs are making some great changes. Flurry would be worthless too if it could be interrupted. Same with melee heavy attacks. In the future, they will make ranged heavy attacks interruptable, but melee heavy attacks non interruptable. This helps to compensate for the inherit disadvantage of melee as compared to ranged.

I have no problem with it being uninterrupted..but i imagine some destruction staff users are about to have a grand time with it.

Whole patch reworks Ultimate and you expected an item that gives 25 ultimate to be unaffected...no matter how long it took you to obtain it?

All_Bizniz

WOW you all must be high. ZOS your 'fixes' are ridiculous. 1.6 should come out April 1st because this is a joke. I'm very sad and ill be quitting the game. (loved you eso... at one time)

Is the Legerdemain skill Trafficker working as intended? For the first two points it had 120%/140% increase in fence limit. For the first point it went from 50 to 110 but the second point went from 110 to 120? Should it be 140% of the original base of 50 or from the new base of 110?

50 * 1,2 = 60
50 * 1,4 = 70

50 + 60 = 110
50 + 70 = 120

Easy maths

Yes, I care about how much effort I waste. In general, I wouldn't care too much about gear changes... except that the undaunted stuff is gated by time (1 gold key per day) and RNG for both weight and trait. *** takes forever to get.

So now I have: 6% chance to get 15 ultimate on a 6s proc timer. I guess I will have to test and see if its still worth it.

The question was should the second point be based on the original 50 or the 110, not whether the math is right. Currently the second point is giving 140% of 50, but that is after I have the new limit of 110, so should it be based off the old limit or the new limit? If it is supposed to be 140% of 110 then the new limit (after the second point) should be 220.

Not just that, they also added a 6 sec cd.. So yeah, might as well delete it

No word on pet health, they are much too weak in pvp defencively speaking. One or two hardhitters and its dead, 1.5 recast time?(twilight) no thanks, id rather slot something I could use in pvp.

Armitas

You can no longer hold block while feared.

Do we get immunity when it ends or can we be refeared right after?

nightwalkerrobin_ESO

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌
Stealth abilities, such as Shadow Cloak, no longer prevent you from being witnessed while performing criminal acts.

What is stealth for than to keep you from being seen or witnessed? I think this is a bad idea on ZOS's part.

Glad to see the Immovable nerf. I hope this be enough.

Now we are waiting for dmg shields nerf.

Won't be nerfed, too many skills. Everyone was using Heavy Armor skill to keep from being interrupted during their shield spam fest. This will help a lot in PvP without having to touch a lot of class skills.

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ , @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌

So when are transformed werewolves and stage 4 vampires going to be noticed by the guards/NPCs?

"Overload: Increased the damage of Overload light attacks by 50%."

Using the outcome ends in some very strange high numbers:

Skill 2:
100 * 1.4 = 154
100 + 154 = 254

Skill 3 (example 160%):
254 * 1,6 = 406,4
254 + 406,4 = 660,4

Skill 4 (example 180%):
660,4 * 1,8 = 1188,72
660,4 + 1188,72 = 1849,12

Dosen't fit to me

Keep going with the overload buffs and I might actually use this. Still don't like that using a spell breaks the overload.

wtf that ult is so hard op now... u will see, nerf inc

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ Ok, 1.6.1 - no bad. Please, please for the love of all things holy in this ESO universe tell everyone you guys are investigating how ridiculous damage shields are right now. Damage shields need SERIOUS change, immediately. I'm very surprised there isn't a single mention of damage shields, or any damage shield changes.

Also, I think blocking has been nerfed a bit too much.

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ When was the decision made to make food and drink not stack? This makes drinks still pale in comparison to food.

I said and the damage decrease..I don't have to list a value since I said it was the only thing with the health increase worth a damn.
