Can we expect any class skill changes?

Bound Armor is still a toggle and that makes me sad It could really use some kind of active component.

Not in this PTS patch, but the team is still working on some adjustments and fixes for the Live patch.

Good to know. Fingers crossed!

The LORD ISHAMMAEL can help with those adjustments!

Dragonknight
1. Dragon Blood now exempt from Battle Spirit
2. Cinder Storm provides Major Evasion while standing inside in AoE.
3. Elder Dragon passive: Now provides Minor Heroism whenever a Draconic Power ability is activated.
4. Scaled Armor: Now also provides physical resistance.
5. Inferno: Completely re-worked. Now provides an PBAoE (radius 8m) DoT for several seconds. One morph removes 2 negative effects. One morph scales the DoT damage as a function of how long the target was in the effect.

Templar
1. Radiant Destruction now 20m.
2. Focused Charge: now works properly every time.
3. Balanced Warrior: Reworked. Now provides +1k physical resist, +1k spell resist, +4% spell damage, +4% weapon damage.
4. Backlash: skill has been deleted. Will anyone notice?
5. Eclipse: skill has been deleted. We're doubling down... will anyone notice?

Nightblade
1. Cloak: skill has been re-worked. REF: "IDDQD"

Sorcerer
1. Crystal Blast: now costs stamina. Range 8m. No cast time. No knockdown.

Lets not forget:

Bound Armor: No longer a toggle. I will literally take any active effect. It could kill me every time I press the button and I would be happy at this point.

Dark Deal: Instant Cast. Returns secondary resource over time. Doesn't suck.

Yes please on Bound Armaments.

They fixed magelight. It's only fair Bound Armaments gets the magelight treatment. You used to only get the 5% magicka boost if you had it double barred and activated. Now it provides both 5% max magicka and spell crit passively on only one bar when slotted WITHOUT even being activated.

So bound armaments: While Slotted (on any bar)

grants 8% max stam.
Grants minor ward.
Grants %damage on heavy attacks
When activated, kills the player.

JK JK, but as XaXa said it would literally be better that way even if it accidentally killed you when you pressed it. Better still if it summoned the morkuldin-like sword for x seconds when pressed (costing magicka) then (while summoned) cost stam to swing the sword and do physical damage.

TL;DR Give Bound Armaments the magelight treatment, passive effects given while slotted.

I would sell my soul to zenimax to get it done.

Hi folks, apologies for the short notice but there was a miscommunication and there is not a North American character copy happening with today's PTS incremental patch.

XaXa · May 2016

...Wow.

RDMyers65b14_ESO · May 2016

Well, there were several of us looking forward to testing the stuff from the past few weeks, but with no character copy, no real need to even bothering to download the patch. I guess that I will have to wait for the next update on the PTS for the next patch.

Darlon · May 2016

Don't think there will be another update before it goes live..

Khamira · May 2016

Ok then...

Kitty is sad.

MissBizz · May 2016

Argh. Just logged on to see templates and then found this

Plans out the window now...

WhiteNoiseMaker · May 2016

Well that's disappointing news... I was very much hoping to actually test my Live character under PTS conditions. :-(

James-Wayne · May 2016

So very sad news

Why did it stop? I was hoping to see the changes on my Live chars before DB DLC goes Live.

Apparently there was never supposed to be one. There was a miscommunication and gina pushed out the wrong info. Ruler of the forms corrected the post this morning.

Ah I see, oh well -- just have to wait to see how much nerfing and buffing did to my chars... But thanks anyways,,, I wish I can skip the Starter CH Dungeon with a template.... Really don't feel like doing it again for a temp PTS char..

You can. It gave me an option to skip it at least.

tfraley · May 2016

This was a big tease,

Their is no poiint in even going on PTS with out a caracter copy becasue.

- Limmited to 300 CP
- No research so can not craft gear
- Vamp & warewolf are not leveld

It's impossiable to get a base level to know if things are working right or how changes effect things.

Now if we had access to this stuff and wanted to we can spend alittle bit of time and rebuild our characters but alais we can't even do that.

silky_soft · May 2016

You guys were doing so well this PTS. Then this. Is there going to be a NA copy at all before it goes live?

radicalb21 · May 2016

Well I for one was very disappointed in finding this out yesterday. How can we be expected to test these changes when the character templates are not at 501 Champion Rank. First off the point allocation is different at 300 vs 501. When DB patch first hit the PTS Server the templated characters had been improved on significantly. There is still room for improvement of the templated characters. I for one would like to request that NA PC/Mac Server be given character copies at some point this week so we can test somethings and provide meaningful feedback.

Did you even log onto the pts? You have all traits researched from the start. Vamp can quickly be leveled.

And i really dont yet why everyone complains so much about it not being a copy. Would it be nice to have all our CP to test? Yes. Is it neccessary? No.

I had some stuff I wanted to test, and more I wanted to re-test given changes, with gear not included with the templates.

Honestly it's more because we were teased with an unexpected gift. No doubt it was an honest mistake, but I was ready to roll!

I can understand that. And im sorry if i came off as combative. I was rather excited myself so i understand the frustration.

Are we getting a copy next week?

Personofsecrets · May 2016

Priority list of issues to fix.

1. For some reason the Bracing passive of HA is gone
2. For some reason the Block expertise passive is moved.
3. Extended chains too high too low bug (no, I'm not talking about PVP at all)
4. vMA sword sucks
5. Too many traits and no re-forge option like from Diablo 3.

Ashtaris · May 2016

Yep, I was very disappointed as well to see that there was no NA character copy this time around. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , will there be one before or after DB goes live? The EU gang has had their copy up for 3 weeks now and I would really like to do some test builds when the Dark Brotherhood is pushed to the Live server.
