ZOS_GinaBruno

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v8.0.5 and our newest Chapter: High Isle! Visit the beautiful Systres Archipelago, far to the southwest of continental Tamriel, and delve into the culture and secrets of the noble and chivalric Breton people.

This Chapter not only explores the lore and political intrigue of the Bretons but also introduces two new Companions. You can use them to support your efforts throughout the world, including conquering the new Volcanic Vents found throughout High Isle. For a bigger challenge, be sure to head to Dreadsail Reef, a new 12-player Trial located in the northwest section of High Isle.

We’re also very excited to introduce you to Tales of Tribute, a new deckbuilding card game. Play against NPCs or against your fellow players to earn new cards, decks, furnishings, cosmetics, Transmute Crystals and more. To get started, simply head to the Roister Club of Gonfalon Bay.

This Chapter also includes several new item sets and Mythic Items, new Antiquities, a number of new collectibles, tons of new achievements, and more.

The free Update 34 base game introduces the highly requested Mundus Stones in the Armory System, along with implementation of the upscaling technology of FidelityFX Super Resolution. We’ve also made some updates to the quickslot wheel, have added the option to choose your own music on the title screen, made some accessibility improvements, and more. Lastly, we’re excited to add localized Spanish text to ESO in this update!

This latest update is approximately 4.64GB in size. We look forward to you setting sail to High Isle!

HIGH ISLE CHAPTER

New Zone – High Isle
Set sail for adventure in the Systres Archipelago! In this update, you’ll travel to High Isle and Amenos, two of the four islands southwest of Tamriel.

• To begin your travels to High Isle, you can choose from among the following:
  • Create a new character and play through the Tutorial
  • Enter the zone with an existing character by one of the following means:
    • Use a Wayshrine to enter High Isle near the city of Gonfalon Bay
    • Use a boat or cart outside Elden Root, Mournhold, or Wayrest to travel to the Gonfalon Docks
    • Travel to a friend who is already in High Isle
• After you complete the Tutorial or otherwise arrive in High Isle, seek out the rogue Jakarn awaiting for your arrival at various locations in and around Gonfalon Bay. He’ll ask you for help in the Main Story and send you to meet with Lady Arabelle Davaux inside the city.
• In addition to the Main Story, the High Isle chapter includes the following activities:
  • Six delves, four on High Isle and two on nearby Amenos, each with its own Skyshard, boss, and associated content
  • Six challenging world bosses, including the terrifying Sable Knight occupying a ruined castle on High Isle, or the crafty Glemyos Wildhorn, a lord of the trickster faun race and master of their domain on Amenos
  • Two public dungeons: The ancient Spire of the Crimson Coin, a source of great legends and even greater treasures, and Ghost Haven Bay, the last refuge of long-dead pirates and their vengeful captains
  • Three new set crafting locations
  • Nine full-length Objective quests
  • Many independent content quests, unique distractions, and many other wilderness and city encounters throughout the zone

Volcanic Vents and Lava Vents
The Systres Archipelago is something of an island paradise, but every paradise has its problems. Each island in the archipelago is volcanic, to a greater or lesser extent. Due to certain recent events, tectonic shifts plague High Isle and Amenos, resulting in huge Volcanic Vents and smaller Lava Vents appearing throughout the islands. You can seek out these ruptures and calm them, defeating the monsters that pour forth and helping local druids settle the violence bubbling up from below.

• Seek out large Volcanic Vents and engage in group, overworld content as you assist the druids in their efforts to calm the eruption. Volcanic Vents will appear with an icon on your map when they are active!
• Discover smaller Lava Vents and defeat the emerging enemies yourself or with friends.
• Earn special rewards for defeating these creatures and keeping the Systres safe for another day!

Tales of Tribute
The new tactical card game, Tales of Tribute, has been growing in popularity in taverns across Tamriel and now you can learn how to play and unlock a fun new pastime! As you expand your collection and compete against others, you’ll earn new cards, decks, furnishings, cosmetics, Transmute Crystals and more.

To begin, visit the Roister Club of Gonfalon Bay, in High Isle. There, speak with Brahgas who will get you started on your journey to becoming a Tribute Master. Once you’ve earned your starting decks, you’ll be able to learn more about Tales of Tribute and rise through the club ranks, take on daily PvE and PvP challenges, compete in Tribute seasonal ranked play (beginning on June 8), or simply kick back at the local tavern and enjoy a friendly match with other heroes.

• Patron Decks
  • Each collectible patron deck contains a unique patron token and associated deck of cards whose mechanics synergize.
  • Review your collected and soon-to-be collected patron decks in the ‘Tales of Tribute Patrons’ Collections tab. There, you’ll see the powers offered by each patron, their starter card, base cards and upgrade cards.
  • Expand your game options and skills by acquiring new decks with a whole new set of cards and patron. Each deck has a set of unique cards and patron that thematically and mechanically will offer a host of new strategy opportunities when combined with other decks.
  • Select two of the four patron decks in a match and craft a strategy based around the cards and patrons you and your opponent bring to the game. A good player will have their plans ready, but the great players will be ready to adapt to the ebbs and flows of the game, adjusting to each situation and countering their opponent’s strategies!
  • Patron Decks can be discovered in and around High Isle by partaking in activities, from public dungeons and world bosses to questing and incursions.
• Cards
  • Every unlockable deck has some cards which can be replaced with new, more potent ones you may discover in Tamriel; some deck upgrade cards have abilities you won’t find elsewhere.
  • These new cards can even be discovered or earned before you’ve unlocked their base deck, providing you with a little extra incentive to seek out those deck unlocks!
  • Winning in Tribute matches against others grants a variety of rewards, including gold, transmutation crystals, motifs, cosmetics and even clues toward discovering those shiny new upgrade cards.
• Looking for a relaxed match for fun and profit? Queue up in the Activity Finder for a casual game against another player!
• Ranked Seasons with hefty rewards and leaderboards will be available with the full launch of the High Isle Chapter.

Two New Companions: Ember & Isobel
Two new Companions can be befriended in High Isle by completing associated Chapter content. Ember, the streetwise spellcaster, can be found at Tor Draioch just north of Gonfalon Bay. The honorable knight aspirant Isobel Veloise can be found at Castle Navire on the southwest coast of High Isle.

• If you have access to the High Isle Chapter, you can unlock the two Companions through completing associated quests in the High Isle zone. 
• Once either objective is completed, the respective Companion collectible will be granted.
  • These collectibles can be found in the Collections menu under the Allies category, in the Companion subcategory.
  • You may have either a Companion or an Assistant active.
  • Companion collectibles may be activated from the Collections menu or quick slotted for ease of use.
  • Once unlocked, other characters on your account will need to also complete the associated introductory objective to utilize Ember or Isobel, but skill line, level progression and equipment are preserved on each Companion regardless which character summoned them.
• Each Companion possesses a passive perk ability which benefits you while the Companion is active, which can be seen via the Companion menu. This perk may also be permanently unlocked via Companion achievement accomplishment.
  • Ember provides “Ember's Intuition” which provides a chance to acquire hidden wallets of gold when pickpocketing, while Isobel grants “Isobel’s Grace” which gives a chance to recover the pack of a slain knight when defeating world bosses, which may contain various supplies.

New Trial – Dreadsail Reef
Surrounded by jagged, shallow reefs and inhabited by fierce predators, this small islet on the far fringes of the Systres Archipelago was practically untouched by man or mer until the Dreadsail's Fleet Queen claimed it as her own. Take the fight to the Dreadsail pirates as part of the invasion force set to rid High Isle of this Maormer menace.

• Dreadsail Reef is a 12-player Trial off the coast and can be reached via boat in the northwest section of High Isle.
• The Trial includes a normal and challenging Veteran version.
• There are unique Item Sets within the Trial including Perfected versions only found in the Veteran difficulty.

UPDATE 34 BASE GAME

Mundus Stones in Armory
Mundus Stones have been added to the Armory system! Each Armory build will now save your current Mundus Stone and loading that build will grant you that Mundus Stone boon. The preview screen for each build slot will also display the Mundus Stone saved for that build.

To aid in the transition to this new feature, when your character first logs into the game, whatever Mundus Stone you currently have will be automatically applied to all of your builds. You can still manually update any particular build later by loading that build, obtaining the desired Mundus Stone, then saving the build.

And yes, the system supports builds that use the Twice-Born Star item set.

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR)
In Update 34 we have added support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0. This upscaling technology is available for all graphics cards and can be used to improve performance for those who are bottlenecked by their GPU while playing ESO. This can be used to get straightforward improvements in framerate, or to allow you to enable more demanding graphics settings like our Screen Space GI while maintaining similar framerates to what you had before.

• We recommend starting with Ultra Quality mode and lowering from there as needed as we have seen great performance gains with this alone, especially on older graphics cards.
• FSR 1.0 works best with higher quality antialiasing; we recommend setting your antialiasing to TAA if you enable FSR, but we support using FSR with any antialiasing option.

Quickslot Wheel Updates
We’ve added multiple additional utility quickselect wheels for collectible allies, mementos, emotes, and tools. You can tab between these wheels while holding the quickselect wheel keybind

• Allies, mementos, emotes, and tools can be slotted to their corresponding wheels directly from their respective Collections menu category.
• You can now assign any emote to the existing quickselect wheel.
• The existing emote wheel when utilizing Gamepad Mode can now be used through the quickselect wheel keybind.

Choose Title Screen Music
You now have the ability to choose which title music theme plays on the game’s login screen. In the Audio Settings tab, there is a new drop down labeled "Intro Music". Select which Chapter you'd like to listen to and just give it a few moments to swap over (the default will always play the most recent chapter's song). Listen to them all and pick your favorite!

New Accessibility Mode
We’ve added a new pre-game screen, which appears prior to the login screen, that offers the option to select Accessibility Mode. When choosing this mode you will automatically be swapped to use the Gamepad UI, but the keybinds will be adjusted for whatever input is being used (keyboard or gamepad). If you decide you don’t want to use this, you can disable in the Options menu.

You are now also able to move around all pre-game UI screens and elements using only digital inputs (such as keyboard or D-pad keypresses) or analog inputs (such a mouse or gamepad control stick). 

 We’ll be adding more accessibility options and settings in future updates, so stay tuned!

General

• If you have already switched your Launcher to Spanish prior to the High Isle update, you will need to temporarily switch to another language and back to Spanish in order to properly launch the game in Spanish. This will only need to be done once and not every time the game is launched.

High Isle

These areas can still be accessed normally (walking to them and entering through the door) but you won’t be able to instantly teleport. This will be fixed in a future incremental patch.

ZOS_GinaBruno

Quests

• The Dragonguard's Legacy: A grapple point on the western side of Storm Talon Temple is now easier to grapple to, rather than smashing your character’s face against the wall right below it. 
• Order of the New Moon:
  • Caska will no longer clip through Ranza if you elect to let her intimidate Kazann. 
  • Fixed an issue with Trial Master Zayri so she properly despawns after leaving the balcony, instead of being very forgetful and coming back to the ledge. Maybe she forgot her keys?

ZOS_GinaBruno

Monsters

• Dragons no longer have a chance to remain hovering indefinitely.

Quests

Now if you are on The Tharn Speaks, the Abnur Tharn follower in Wormroot Depths for The Demon Weapon (gold armor) will not spawn until you enter the secret chamber (whereupon The Tharn Speaks' follower, black armor, will despawn). If you are not on The Tharn Speaks and have no Old Abnur, New (Older?) Abnur will be around the whole time.

ZOS_GinaBruno

General

• A pot of unlootable mystery stew is gone from a certain homestead. It was perpetually out of range despite being right there in front of you. Why do you confound me, stew? What dark powers deemed that I cannot sample your deliciousness? Why have they forsaken me? Who must I vanquish for this outrage?

Antiquities

• When you complete a given Antiquity Codex for a furnishing, said furnishing will now be available for purchase at an appropriate achievement vendor.
• Added NPC subtitles during the Scrying or Excavation tutorials.

• A Salskap to Remember: The audience is no longer floating above their seats. I've heard of being on the edge of your seat, but hovering over it has a very different context.

• You will now be properly directed out of buildings in Markarth and its Outlaws Refuge.

Quests

• Taking Up the Mantle: Count Verandis Ravenwatch will now properly show up and you can have the conversation with him after completing Markarth's capper quests if you've already completed the achievement on another character.
  • Note: This does mean you can have this conversation again on the character that initially completed the achievement.

  • Reading the Scouting Report is no longer group shared, and the book is available in the same place you found it after completing the quest.
  • Rada al-Saran will no longer bamf out of the scene if you are standing too close to the platform while talking to him.

ZOS_GinaBruno

General

• Fixed the name of the Lillandril guild trader Rinedel so it shows up properly on guild listings (rather than being listed as “Eafildil”).

General

• Fixed an old issue where you wouldn't see a group member's ally pin on the door while they were inside the College of Psijics Ruins and you were standing outside.

Quests

• A Pearl of Great Price: Valsirenn's theater where you discover K'Tora will no longer repeat if you die before destroying the Abyssal Pearls and run back through the area.
• Lauriel's Lament: Cleaned up some theater cues related to Lauriel's disappearing act toward the end of the quest, to prevent visual popping. 
• Old Wounds: One of Tarnamir's conversations no longer assumes you've actually joined the Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood unless you've completed those quests. 
• The Dreaming Cave: Fixed an issue where a dead priest was floating in the air. They shouldn't do that, in case it wasn't obvious, but necromancy doesn't play by the rules. 
• The Queen's Decree: Minone's cage door no longer slams closed weirdly after the other prisoners are freed. 
• Through a Veil Darkly: Fixed an issue where approaching Vanus Galerion in the Vulkhel Guard Mages Guild from the center of the room could sometimes disable his interactability.

• Gaenennor will no longer werewolf out, kill his attacker, and then go back to playing dice as a werewolf. 

General

• Fixed an issue where you would be trespassing on the docks without actually being on the docks in Hew's Bane.
• Fixed an issue where you could leave a trespass area in Hew's Bane by jumping on a crate. As all good criminals know, you're not trespassing unless your feet are on the ground, right?

ZOS_GinaBruno

General

• The following abilities will now properly target Justice neutral NPCs:
  • Deep Slash
  • Meteor and its morphs
  • Reverse Slice
  • Soul Splitting Trap
  • Stampede
• Fixed an issue where many player-sourced Damage over Time effects could still miss invisible targets, rather than hitting them without removing the invisibility.
• Fixed an issue where abilities that bounced to multiple targets could cause health desyncs in some cases and could fail to bounce when hitting blocking targets.
• All returned damage from player-sourced attacks, such as Spiked Armor or Cutting Defense, can now be blocked and dodged to help add counter play to these effects.
• Fixed an issue where numerous abilities were not obeying Line of Sight.
  • Arctic Wind and its morphs' damage
  • Blazing Shield's damage
  • Bone Totem and its morphs' fear
  • Caltrops and its morphs' damage
  • Crescent Sweep's damage
  • Elemental Storm and its morph's damage
  • Expert Hunter and its morphs
  • Frozen Gate and its morphs' initial placement
    • Note this ability will still retain its functionality of forcing targets to your position past line of sight if you move behind a wall after its been placed, as long as you are still within the range limit.
  • Grave Robber synergy's damage
  • Impaling Shards and morphs' damage
    • These abilities now also tick 12 times instead of 13, but their total damage is the same.

  • Solar Barrage's damage
  • Spear Shards and its morphs' damage
  • Time Stop and its morphs
  • Unstable and Volatile Familiar's damage
  • Volatile Armor's damage

Dragonknight

• Ardent Flame
  • Combustion: This passive now has a cooldown of 3 seconds, up from .5 seconds.
    Developer Comment:
    This passive is enabling a lot of sustain in situations where you're building around it with status chance increases, allowing the Dragonknight to sustain effortlessly with a few passive options. The class was originally meant to struggle more with sustain, with larger moments of burst with Battle Roar and Combustion procs peppered in. While we love the synergy here with some more niche gameplay elements like Charged and focusing on status effects, this passive was removing one of the core weaknesses of the class that kept it in check in many areas. As such, we're increasing the cooldown in hopes to bring back some of the natural difficulty the class has with keeping the pedal to metal, while still being more viable than it was when its flames were more like embers.
  • Fiery Breath
    • Engulfing Flames (morph): Reduced the Flame Damage taken bonus on this morph to a maximum of 6%, down from 10%. The total sum of Weapon and Spell Damage needed to reach the cap remains the same.
  • Searing Strike
    • Burning Embers (morph): Reduced the healing value from this morph to up to 50%, down from up to 100%.
      Developer Comment:
      Right now, the healing values from this ability are enabling the Dragonknight too much staying power. While we want to retain the ability to reward the caster for going in and dotting up their foes, the raw damage and healing from this ability is simply too much in its current form. 
• Draconic Power
  • Dark Talons
    • Choking Talons (morph): Reduced the cost of this morph to 3510, down from 4050.
  • Dragon Blood
    • Coagulating Blood (morph):
      • This morph no longer reduces in cost, but instead increases the healing bonus based on your missing Health to 50%, up from 33%.
      • The healing bonus is now a true value, rather than an additive value.
      • Reduced the base healing of the skill by approximately 3% to fix some calculation errors.
      Developer Comment:
      This skill is currently enabling the Dragonknight to bounce back from near death situations a little too frequently, where its significant cost reduction compared to other burst heals of its nature is allowing it to be cast with reckless abandon. By taking away the cost reduction bonus on the morph, we needed to find another morph empowerment to ensure the skill felt like it was gaining something, rather than changing something. As the skill IS meant to bring you back from Death's Door, we wanted to reinforce this with the execute scaling increase, but hopefully we see the frequency of returning from the brink a little less frequently.
  • Spiked Armor
    • Hardened Armor (morph): Increased the damage shield granted from this morph by 24%.
• Earthen Heart
  • Obsidian Shield
    • Fragmented Shield (morph): Increased the duration of Major Mending granted from this morph to 6.667 seconds at base, up from 5 seconds. Don’t worry though, it’ll reach a nice whole number when you have your Eternal Mountain passive maxed out.

Necromancer

• Grave Lord
  • Shocking Siphon
    • Mystic Siphon (morph): This morph now increases your Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery by up to 150 while it is active, rather than restoring up to 1260 Magicka over its duration.
• Bone Tyrant
  • Bone Armor
    • Beckoning Armor (morph): This morph now attempts to pull valid targets once every 2 seconds, up from once every 3.
  • Death Scythe
    • Ruinous Scythe (morph):
      • This morph now deals Bleed Damage, rather than Physical.
      • This morph now applies the Hemorrhaging status effect on damage dealt.
      • This morph now sets all enemies Off Balance on hit, rather than every 3rd cast.
• Living Death
  • Expunge
    • Hexproof (morph):
      • Reduced the cost of this morph to 1670 at its final rank, down from 1880.
      • The morph tooltip now properly states it reduces in cost as the ability ranks up.
  • Restoring Siphon
    • Mortal Coil (morph): This morph now increases your Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery by up to 150 while it is active, rather than restoring up to 1260 Stamina over its duration.

Nightblade

• Assassination
  • Mark Target
    • Piercing Mark (morph):
      • Fixed an issue where the heal from this morph was lower than the base ability.
      • Increased the duration of the effects to 60 seconds at rank IV, up from 30.
  • Teleport Strike
    • Ambush (morph):
      • Increased the duration of Empower granted from this morph to 10 seconds, up from 3.
      • This morph now also grants Minor Berserk for its duration.
• Shadow
  • Path of Darkness
    • Refreshing Path (morph): This morph now also grants Minor Endurance and Intellect for 4 seconds each tick.
  • Veiled Strike
    • Surprise Attack (morph): Fixed an issue where this morph had no upgrades as it ranked up. It will now deal 1.1% more damage per rank.
• Siphoning
  • Drain Power: Increased the duration of Major Brutality and Sorcery granted from this ability and its morphs to 30 seconds, up from 20, to make up for the fact that they require a target to gain these effects.
    • Power Extraction (morph): This morph now also grants the caster Minor Courage for 30 seconds upon dealing damage.
  • Soul Shred:
    • Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could ignore line of sight in some cases.
    • Fixed numerous issues where the damage or healing from these abilities could use the wrong stats to scale.

Sorcerer

• Dark Magic
  • Crystal Shard
    • Crystal Fragments (morph):
      • This morph now activates off any non-Ultimate active ability cast, rather than only Magicka costing abilities.
      • Reduced the proc chance to 33%, down from 35%.
    • Crystal Weapon (morph): This morph now causes your next two Light or Heavy Attacks to deal bonus damage, up from 1. There is a small cooldown on this to avoid the ability to instantly proc both, though!
• Daedric Summoning
  • Summon Storm Atronach
    • Summon Charged Atronach (morph): This morph’s Area of Effect damage now always applies the Concussed status effect.
• Storm Calling
  • Lightning Form
    • Boundless Storm (morph): Fixed an issue where this ability’s visual effects were not in sync with their combat effects.
  • Mages’ Wrath
    • Endless Fury (morph): Reduced the cost of this morph to 2160, down from 2430 to help reinforce the idea that you are able to endlessly cast it.
  • Overload
    • Energy Overload (morph): This morph now restores up to 1200 Magicka and Stamina, rather than up to 1192 Magicka. The restore now happens any time you use the Light or Heavy Attacks, rather than only when they deal damage.
  • Surge: Fixed an issue where the Major Sorcery granted from this ability was not ranking up in duration.

Templar

• Aedric Spear
  • Sun Shield
    • Blazing Shield (morph):
      • Increased the radius of this morph to 8 meters, up from 6, to better match its visual effects.
      • Fixed an issue where the damage could fail to activate in many cases.
• Dawn’s Wrath
  • Backlash: Increased the cost of this ability and the Purifying Light morph to 2160, up from 2000.
    • Power of the Light (morph): Reduced the cost of this morph to 1337, down from 1700.
  • Eclipse
    • Living Dark (morph): This morph's heal no longer scales with stats and instead heals for a base of 2000 Health when it triggers.
      Developer Comment:
      We're taking away some of the insane values of healing that this ability can have when stacking high stats, and instead taking a safer route with a flat value to ensure any role of Templar can still engage with the skill, but with less powerful results at the high end.
  • Solar Flare
    • Dark Flare (morph): Reduced the cost of this morph to 2430, down from 2700.
• Restoring Light
  • Rite of Passage
    • Practiced Incantation (morph): This morph now allows you to move at a reduced rate while channeling it, rather than being unable to move at all.

Warden

• Animal Companions
  • Feral Guardian
    • Wild Guardian (morph):
      • This morph now deals 10% more damage, up from 5%, to ensure it deals similar damage to Eternal Guardian when you take the Piercing Magic passive.
      • This morph now converts the damage to Bleed Damage instead of Physical, and each attack applies the Hemorrhaging status effect. Wild.
  • Scorch
    • Deep Fissure (morph): This morph now also applies Minor Breach to enemies hit for the duration.
• Green Balance
  • Healing Seed
    • Corrupting Pollen (morph): This morph now also applies Minor Cowardice to enemies in the area, to help it gain some viability in PvE areas.
• Winter’s Embrace
  • Arctic Wind
    • Arctic Blast (morph):
      • This morph now requires enemies to be damaged 5 times in order to be stunned, up from 3.
      • Reduced the duration of the stun to 3 seconds, down from 4.
      • Increased the duration of the stack counter to 3 seconds, up from 1.
      Developer Comment:
      Right now, this ability is offering too much offensive nature for the Warden, allowing them to line up their burst perfectly with Scorch to remove counter play. By increasing the stack count required, there should be less of a guarantee with this combination and require more reactive play from the caster, while the increased duration of tracking helps also reduce the ease of counter play by backing off for 1 second from the Warden to completely avoid the stun.
  • Crystallized Shield
    • Crystallized Slab (morph): This morph now also stuns the target upon dealing damage.
      Developer Comment:
      For the masters of Ice, Wardens are lacking a lot of hard control. Without giving them something too over the top to make them even more oppressive to melee attackers, we've opted to add in a reactive ranged stun option to help deter those ranged builds that naturally kite and hound Wardens.
  • Frost Armor
    • Expansive Frost Cloak (morph): Expanded the radius of this morph to 36 meters, up from 28.
  • Sleet Storm
    • Northern Storm (morph): This morph now grants 300 Weapon and Spell Damage for up to 30 seconds after casting, rather than up to 15% Max Magicka for 30 seconds. This should help the Ultimate be more impactful across play styles.

Weapon

• Destruction Staff
  • Destructive Touch
    • Flame Clench (morph): Fixed an issue where this morph's knock back visuals were not displaying on targets properly.
• One Hand and Shield
  • Defensive Stance
    • Defensive Posture (morph): Fixed an issue where the passive bonuses from this morph could fail to apply in some cases.
  • Power Bash
    • Power Slam (morph): This morph’s passive, Resentment, now reduces the cost of your next Power Slam by up to 50%, rather than increasing its damage by 33%.
• Two Handed
  • Reverse Slash
    • Reverse Slice (morph): This morph no longer deals damage based on its initial hit and instead deals damage to all targets around the initial.
      Developer Comment:
      This will allow the Area of Effect damage to be increased and decreased by bonuses, and to be calculated separately per target. It will also fix the issue where the damage continuously became weaker as it cascaded outwards, being diminished by each target’s defenses.

Armor

• Heavy Armor
  • Heavy Armor Bonuses: Adjusted the bonus damage to Bash Attacks to grant 30 more damage per piece of Heavy Armor worn, rather than 3% more damage.
  • Unstoppable: Fixed an issue with this ability and its morphs where the snare could stack with other player snares. 
    • Note that many monster sourced snares may still stack, as they care not for your petty rules and regulations. Their methods are beyond your comprehension.

World

• Vampire
  • Bloody Frenzy:
    • This ability and its morphs now grant up to 5 stacks, rather than 10. The total Weapon and Spell Damage granted is left untouched.
    • The cost now increases by 360 per tick, up from 250, for Blood and Simmering Frenzy, while the cost for Sated Frenzy is now 300, rather than 200. This will result in an approximate 20% cost reduction for each morph.
    Developer Comment:
    Based on much of the initial feedback we saw over last update, we've decided to help this ability ramp up a little quicker to make it feel more aggressive and ravenous for the user, while slightly easing back on the risk of using it since the reward isn't nearly as high as before.
  • Feed: This synergy now heals you to full Health after successfully casting on a target and feasting upon their life essence. Delicious!
  • Vampiric Drain: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could be reflected despite being beams. Stop draining yourself!
• Werewolf
  • Hircine’s Bounty
    • Hircine’s Fortitude (morph): This morph now grants Minor Endurance and Fortitude for 20 seconds after casting, rather than a unique amount of Health and Stamina Recovery based on the healing caused for 6 seconds.
    • Hircine’s Rage (morph):
      • This morph now also reduces the ability cost to 5063, down from 5737.
      • Increased the duration of the Major Berserk and damage taken to 10 seconds, up from 6.

Guild

• Fighters Guild
  • Silver Bolt
    • Silver Shards (morph): Fixed an issue where this morph could sometimes fail to be recognized as a Stamina costing ability for certain proc conditions.
• Mages Guild
  • Equilibrium: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could not be cast if you had less than 6000 Health, even if the cost was less than 6000.
  • Fire Rune: Fixed an issue where the explosion from this ability and its morphs couldn’t be seen by enemies.

Warfare

• Added the following stars to the Extended Might Constellation:
  • Exploiter (Returning): Increases your damage done against Off Balance enemies by 2% per stage. 5 stages, 10 points per stage.
  • Force of Nature (New): Increases your Offensive Penetration by 900 for each status effect your target has. 1 stage, 50 points.
  Developer Comment:
  We're adding these nodes to help out two areas of feedback that are frequently brought up – Off Balance lacking oomph in organized groups as an impactful ailment, and a form of accessible Penetration outside of item sets for all those non-Light Armor builds out there.
• Rebalanced the numbers and progression for a number of nodes:
  • The following nodes now grant 3% to their listed bonuses per stage, with 2 stages at 25 points per stage, rather than 2% with 5 stages at 10 points per stage.
    • Biting Aura
    • Deadly Aim
    • Duelist’s Rebuff
    • Enduring Resolve
    • Ironclad
    • Master-at-Arms
    • Thaumaturge
    • Unassailable
  • Backstabber: This node now grants 2% Critical Damage per stage, down from 3%.
  • Cutting Defense: This node now scales off the higher of your Physical or Spell Resistance, rather than your Max Health.
  • Fighting Finesse: This node now grants 4% Critical Damage and Healing per stage with 2 stages at 25 points per stage, rather than 2% Critical Damage and Healing with 5 stages at 10 points per stage.
  • Occult Overload: This node now deals 2560 Oblivion Damage per stage with 5 stages at 10 points per stage, rather than 2000 Oblivion damage per stage with 2 stages at 25 points per stage.
  • Riposte: This node now increases the damage done of your next direct damage attack by 33%, rather than dealing 4800 flat damage to your attacker.
  • Wrathful Strikes and Rejuvenator: These nodes now grant 41 Weapon and Spell Damage to their effects, up from 33.
  Developer Comment:
  Currently, many of the slotted stars that don't require much engagement are significantly stronger than many of their more unique counterparts. Rather than introducing an arms race and injecting power creep to the system, we've targeted the outliers to draw back some of their impact to make them more in line with where we expect while giving a tiny bump to some other stars.

General

• Companions will now respond more consistently to various types of criminal activity.
• Fixed an uncommon issue where Mirri failed to acknowledge her distaste of certain Reef Vipers when slain.
• Fixed an issue that could prevent Companions from occasionally commenting on their own progress when leveling up.

• Fixed an issue where your Companion could drop combat whenever Necromancers used the Blastbones ability.
• Fixed an issue with Mirri's Impeccable Shot ability where she could occasionally get temporarily stuck in the casting animation of the ability.
• Fixed an issue where heal from Mirri's Life Absorption ability could be dodged.

Quests and Content

• Doubled the amount of Companion skill progression gained from completing solo daily repeatable quests from the Fighters, Mages, and Undaunted guilds. Each quest completion will now provide the Companion with a full rank of progression in the associated guild skill line.
• Companions are no longer set as inactive when your character is turned into a skeevaton, though they are still temporarily suppressed.
• Enemies, Pets and Companions will now follow your character correctly in certain areas of Nchuand-Zel.
• Fixed an issue where Mirri might not receive a rapport increase if you turned in an Ashlander daily while mounted.
• You can no longer interact with your Companions while stunned or disoriented during a quest scene.

General

• Items that belong to the "Night Mother's Embrace" set have been renamed to "Item of Mother's Embrace" to avoid confusion with items that belong to the "Night Mother's Gaze" set, as both sets items were named "Item of the Night Mother".
• Updated the visual effects of the following sets so they are no longer visible to enemies:
  • Hircine's Veneer
  • Sanctuary
  • Worm's Raiment
• Updated the tooltips for the following item sets to state that their bouses persist through death:
  • Ebon Armory
  • Hircine's Veneer

  • Lamia’s Song
  • Witchman Armor

Consumables

• Fixed an issue where potions that granted invisibility would instantly break upon taking or dealing damage over time.
• Updated Potions of Heroism to properly display their visual effects when used.

Ability Altering Weapons

• Frenzied Momentum: Fixed an issue where this set ended early when used with Forward Momentum. As a result of this fix, it will now extend past the ability duration of Momentum or Rally, allowing you to continue to generate stacks with the set for a short time after the abilities fall off.

Dungeon & Arena Sets

• Draugrkin's Grip: This set now increases all of your damage done by 330 and reduces your healing taken by 10%, rather than causing your direct damage attacks to cause enemies to take 617 more damage from your attacks for 6 seconds, once every 9 seconds.
  Developer Comment:
  This set has long been a staple set of providing an immense amount of sustained damage with some builds in single target, where stacking sources of minor damage caused the set to multiply in power to a staggering degree. While we like the gameplay that the set was enabling before to help attrition builds push out some damage, its application felt too overwhelming in single target and the reverse in Area of Effect. In addition, attrition builds naturally deal less damage and are harder to kill, so gaining a source of power with no scaling requirements or drawbacks created a situation where it was too powerful on bruisers, such as Dragonknights and Necromancers. The ability to apply to all damage at a lesser extent helps it bring some power to Area of Effect encounters while also reeling back some of its single target pressure, while the healing debuff ensures that even tank builds feel a bit of a bite in their ability to stay in the fight.
• Elemental Catalyst: This set’s visual effects are now only visible to the wearer and enemies, to reduce the massive amount of battlefield clutter it could add to group encounters.
• Glorious Defender: This set now causes you to dodge all attacks made against you the next time you would have been hit for 1 second, rather than only one attack.

Monster Masks

• Kargaeda: Fixed an issue where the damage from this set was not properly scaling with Area of Effect bonuses.
• Maarselok:
  • This set now dynamically scales with the higher of your Weapon or Spell Damage, rather than only your Weapon Damage.
  • The damage from this set now increases by 10% per negative effect, up from 2%, but has a cap of 300% rather than no cap.
• Spawn of Mephala: Fixed an issue where this set’s visual effects could fail to appear.
• Tremorscale:
  • Increased the duration of this set’s effects to 15 seconds, up from 8.
  • Increased the cooldown to 10 seconds, up from 8.
  • Increased the damage done by approximately 4%.
  • This set now reduces the Armor of the enemy by 8% of the higher of your Physical or Spell Resistance, rather than reducing it by a flat 2395.
• Zaan:
  • This set now applies a tether to the target that damages all enemies touching it, rather than a beam that only hits one target.
  • Reduced the base damage by approximately 52%.
  • Increased the duration of the set to 10 seconds, up from 6.
  • Increased the cooldown to 20 seconds, up from 18.
  • This set now has a guaranteed chance to apply Burning.
  • This set now requires a critical Light or Heavy Attack, rather than just a Light or Heavy Attack. Note that the proc chance remains the same.
  Developer Comment:
  After the adjustments in Update 32 to allow proc sets to critically strike when applicable, Zaan has fallen off course considerably despite its intense requirements for low mobility stationary encounters in PvE, while remaining relatively powerful in PvP when paired with crowd control and roots. Rather than merely increasing the damage or enabling Critical Strikes, we've decided to take some upfront damage away and put it into only long-term encounters in cleave situations, while giving it some cool synergy with the feel of the set, melting your enemies when they don't respect the flames. In addition to this, we've added a little more variance and chaos to the set to make sure it feels less reliable and more like of a window of opportunity that you must quickly adjust to.

Mythic Items

• Harpooner’s Wading Kilt:
  • Reduced the duration of the stacks granted from this set to 20 seconds, down from a minute.
  • Reduced the Critical Chance granted per stack to 110, down from 125.
  Developer Comment:
  We’re toning down the duration of this set to reinforce the need to stay in the fight and help this set become slightly more contextual than it is now, as it’s overshadowing a lot of other Mythic items in power and use by a significant margin. The reduction in Critical Chance isn’t huge but also helps shorten the gap ever so slightly against other options.
• Shapeshifter's Chain: This set now also reduces the cost of Werewolf active abilities by 15% to help it stand up in power for all transformation Ultimates.
• Spaulders of Ruin: Fixed an issue where this set could activate when the wearer died.

Overland Sets

• Shadow Dancer’s Raiment:
  • This set now causes you to dodge all incoming attacks within 1 second after leaving Stealth or Invisibility, with an 8 second cooldown, rather than causing you to ignore the Movement Speed penalty of Sneak.
