    Could we please keep this bug as a fix to some of Wrobel the Terribel's attempts to make us all magicka sorcerers quit?

    Pretty op. Medium would need something as crazy. Like movement speed or passive shield/block damage.

    What like the last passive that increases run speed? And the other (possibly same) one that reduces dodgetoll cost?

    I am baffled that during the process of the balancing update, nobody at ZoS came to the conclusion that light armor is, to put it kindly, lacking.

    Try it sometime ZoS. When 1Tamriel first dropped I did 5 light Lich and 5 Soulshine because RNG. I then wore the exact same armor sets except with 5 heavy Soulshine and 5 Lich and the difference was night and day.

    Here we are with a potential fix staring us right in the face, on the PTS, and are told it's a bug. Disappointment.

    I suppose I am suppose to go have fun and play with a blazing spear that no longer stuns or buy a 3 million gold house that I can't store a single item in it.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    This is a bug. Evocation (the Light Armor passive) should only reduce the cost of Magicka abilities, not ALL abilities. This is a new bug introduced with Update 13, and we plan to fix this in a future PTS build.
    If it will at least reduce ultimate and roll dodge cost, LA will be usable, try not to loose chance to make ppl happy.

    Reducing dodge cost is in med armor already, so that should be a no. Ult reduction makes sense for a mage and would be awesome. Break free makes sense too... kinda

    Reducing roll and break free cost should not be in LA passives.

    The ult reduction is amazing though and would be a nice bonus. My DK would certainly be back in LA.

    As SypherPK commented on it in his live stream I was watching it's a bug that in a reverse way goes to rebalancing light armor in a way that brings it more in line with stamina builds. Light armor really needs something because of how overpowered heavy armor is in PvP and so I hope you guys don't pass up this prime opportunity to rebalance light armor now in Update 13.

    Yes this is a bribe to keep this effect in, and I am not ashamed.

    This worked for the lightning staff AoE. Am I right?

    I am sad to see that so many rejoice at the thought of this bug going live.
    Surely you must see how imbalanced this would be. I fully agree that Light Armour needs some love but this is not what it should be.

    Even if it only affected Ultimate cost it would still be ridiculous compared to Medium Armour.

    Do we really need more encouragement for Destro Ult spam in Cyro?
    Do we really want all Stamina builds to be extinct from Trials?

    Like Dodge roll reduction and reduces stealth range? Plus actually having better resistances. And 2 of light armors Passives in 1?

    Everyone has access to wellfitted and tumbling cp. Kind of makes sense since we use stamina skills to reduce our defence cost. Medium usually means more agile, agile usually means more offensive. You honestly think cloth is more durable then leather?

    Like free pen that makes us naked with your sharp weapons, what is it 7.5% damage vs 3.5% from weapon damage on someone pushing 4k.

    The only way it would be remotely balance would be to nerf/remove the sorc passive power stone and replace a poo LA passive.

    There is 1 candidate to be removed from light armor and changed to reduce ultimate which is Spell Warding. For now this passives is totally useless in case where every light armor user in time of highest pressure using shields which supress spell resistance.

    Agree with this bloke in replacing spell resistance with something you use. Like how we use dodge, you use shields. Should be duration and/or cost reduction.
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.
