Combat Balance Changes?
Are there going to be any in this update?
Problems that still persist:
General
- Medium armor weakness in PvP compared to heavy & light armor.
- Bow is still unviable as main weapon in both PvE & PvP.
- Dual Wield is still generally outclassed by 2H and S&B in PvP.
Nightblade
- Power Extraction is still not worth using, for the same buff/AoE damage Shrouded Daggers is better in every way for example.
- Still pigeonholed to using 2H in PvP for Rally's instant heal/easy access to Major Brutality.
- Agony & morphs are still weak.
- Cloak still breaks when it shouldn't.
Dragonknight
- Igneous Weapons is still probably the weakest skill morph in the game and not worth slotting, ever. Even stamina builds prefer the other, magicka oriented morph with only Major Sorcery & 40% heavy attack damage.
Sorcerer
- Still no stamina morph for either of the pets.
- Shield is more overpowered than ever after changes in this patch, might want to tone it down.
Warden
- Bear still gets lost & disappears a lot, bear's heavy attack is way too slow & way too easy to avoid in PvP.
- Cutting Dive still lacks a morph effect (apart from "scales with stamina & weapon dmg").
- Birds & Shalks do not count as "pets" for Hunt Leader set, not sure if a bug or intended.
- Still lacks a CC that goes through block in order to ever be able to (even theoretically) kill a permablocker.
Light Armor
- Dampen Magic is ridiculously strong after the changes to magicka set bonuses & mundus, might want to tone it down or give others a reasonable way to get past it.
Soul Magic
- Soul Trap. After 3 years, this skill is still not useful for anything other than roleplaying. Change that, please.
Fighters Guild
- Apart from Rearming Trap, every skill here is still meh.
