True raining of tears here on forum starts soon bro ... But the first thing that came on my mind when ive been reading about this update, i realised how big problem would storm-calling skill line become, cos its definitely EVERY pvp players pick, which could result in EXTREMELY crazy PVP. ZOS fixed the argues between class mains, but im afraid this could cause even BIGGER PVP problems. Cos i can already see combination of storm-calling (sorc), assassination (nightblade) and restoring-light (templar), and this is just a combo that came on my mind right away, and im almost vomiting just thinking about it ... Im verry curious how it changes the game overally, cos this is a mammoth step.

But im also verry happy how BIG **** in the ass sorc mains gets by this update

I am happy too....more ranged nuke fun than ever before.
But If you've been a muppet before, it doesn't change for you anything except being deleted just in less GCDs

It's a cycle. They nerf Mag Sorcs every 3-4 years. The last nerf was to Molag Kena and Crystal Frags back in 2022.

Actually by this update i guess we cant keep talking about nerfing *classes* cos everyone could take whichever skill line he wants. This update changed this game INCREDIBLY in overall, but honestly i dont expect it to *fix* PVP in any way. It solves the problem we as comunity have between each other, about certain class skills/passives, but it also changes overall PVP to something even WORSE than it is.
Especially cyro is gonna be unplayable completely, it would be even worse than ever before. Why ? Because it again boosts ballgroups in an insane way, by allowing PVP healers to pick the best healing/shielding skills from not just one, but THREE different class skill lines.
Again, im not afraid about offense, but about defense here. It would surely boost DDs in crazy way also, but i have no problem with that, im playing nuke/ambush style PVP myself, some people would cry about it AGAIN, but who cares, its PVP and that means players SHOULD be dying. Not sure in what way it boots PVP tanks, but i guess well see even MORE troll tanky builds in cyro, which would result in much less fun AGAIN.
But the bigger problem are PVP healers, by doing this step, ZOS SHOULD change healing/shielding by 70% or even more, cos this is gonna be an incredible problem in cyro. Its problem even now, BEFORE this update, and PVP healers have access to only ONE class healing skill line, giving them three is crazy exploit. Im afraid that this move just boosts ballgroups AGAIN.

In the end, im afraid that this step is more good for PVE content, than for PVP.

They finally put away the sledgehammer and used the scalpel. The nerf very specifically nails degenerate builds that stack one stat (mag) and spam one button (ward). Sorc still has a powerful toolkit that can spam ranged nukes and teleports, but now they're forced into appropriate build tradeoffs between max mag, bar space, and defense/sustain. God forbid Sorc players need to replace Inner Light or Bound Aegis with a button that actually gets pressed.

No one will use ward but the majority will use cloak… streak into cloak, who needs shields anymore? Cloak negates so much damage, if they can’t see you they can’t hit you.. why do you think majority of bad players play NB gankers? Cloak..

It’s already happening, will just get worse next patch.
why build into defences? cloak can negate all damage so just go all damage/proc damage and if you get into trouble cloak away with the addition to streak, Cyro gonna be jokes.

At least the nerf Sorc posts will stop, look forward to the “nerf nb skills” posts next update

I don't really see what the big deal of casting netch or skeleton mage to this build style is considering you also get access to shalks / blast bones.

But but... pressing two buttons means I have to press twice as many buttons, that's so unfair! /s

Well, you can take cloak yourself with next update, while playing whatever else than NB ... Most players play NB not cos of cloaks invis, but because of high dmg, WITH invis atop of it, but 90% of those people are just bad players, rather annoying than dangerous. NB is good in 1v1, or as a support to other classes fighting and taking dmg, opening gaps to be used by NBs to execute low health enemies and vanish. But as i said, probably around 90% of NB players have no idea how to play it. Best players ive met in this games PVP were usually templars, and most noobs were playing sorcs for obvious reasons.

But yes, combination of streak and cloak is gonna be crazy thats for sure, but there are much better skill lines than shadow for DDs to pick. This combo would probably become a problem in ganking, but it wont make much difference for other PVP aspects.
