    Why are you guys blaming Gilliam? You don't seriously think the changes to dots are his idea alone? Stop making him a scapegoat :angry:

    What's sad is i just had started early last year and my first toon was mag pet sorc followed by dk tank. Both changed so much I unsubscribed. I keep revisiting the forums hoping the changes will level out a bit as I'm one of those that just play one or two toons and get aggravated after spending time learning rotations and play styles and getting decent only to have it change overnight. The game, quests and scenery are so well done it's a shame to see the actual character play styles get changed so often. Speaking with my wallet which is why I won't give a dime more until I see a leveling out of this crap. I'm just glad I wasn't around for the rocks.

    Magsorc is actually

    Also, magDK should parse highest out of mag because they are melee.

    Also also you have to increase 10% fire damage for the other classes for a direct comparison, which light attacks alone will give at least 1.5k more dps

    Are you referring to this?

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/495270/all-magicka-dps-comparisons-on-21m-iron-attro#latest

    Magsorc looks higher, and with possibly more flexibility.

    There will be a huge change come this Monday and if they are smart they will listen to the class reps, if they do not then PTS is unplayable in my eyes because it's too drastic for one and two I'm sick of changing my build over and over and this is just plain boring playstyle on the PTS with overly simplistic, naive "spreadsheet"-esque design.

    I used wings to reflect that snipe from the ganker hiding in the back while I fought 1 or more players in melee range. I love how ppl get mad they can't spam one skill on you. It's almost like you have to use other skills to win.

    I am pretty deflated as well. None of our dots will be viable at all next patch, and our main burst outside of an ultimate (molten whip) depends on us first lining up 3 completely useless skills. Lol, maybe you could cast inferno 3 times...

    Also, I think the engulfing flames change is garbage. We finally get magicka equivalents to Hulking Draugr and Bone Pirate, and we are forced to build spell damage or else lose 10% of our damage. Not to mention Elemental Succession and Silks of the Sun won’t count satisfy the spell damage requirement because they are not on your stat sheet.

    I will say it over and over: all that they needed to do was revert their overbuff of Entropy and Soul Trap rather than gutting all other forms of single target dot damage. Instead they are making reckless decisions that are going to cost them a whole year to balance out.

    This sums it up

    I know this is about DKs, but can I just mention that 2 of the Necromancer passives have essentially become useless?

    (10% more DOT damage and 10% less DOT damage.. which was already crap due to the active skill requirement)

    DKs may become extinct but if its any consolation, Necros never really got out of the grave to begin with :P

    It's not surprising, they did the same thing with Wards after all. Having one strong single target DoT is good, having 3 strong single target DoT's is really broken. I think the solution for DoT's was the same as for shields Major/Minor DoT's to prevent stacking but still maintaining their use and relevance....

    However, why would they do that when they could just nerf everything to the ground?.

    Shields and DoT's aren't in any way comparable to each other, so you really can't justify putting DoT's on the Major/Minor system. One basically gives a temporary increase to max health from a limited number of (good) sources, the other deals damage over a period of time from a wide number of sources, which may or may not have secondary effects tied to it.

    Literally just revert all DoT's to how they were during Elsweyr, and slightly buff Soul Trap and Entropy. They weren't an issue back then unless you had half a dozen or more stacked on you, and even then they alone couldn't kill you (my old stamDK used to stack like 6-8 DoT's on someone, and still required well timed stuns into an ult+execute combo in non-CP).
