"Velocious Curse (Daedric Curse morph):
Renamed this morph to Haunting Curse.
This morph no longer shortens the duration of the curse to 3.5 seconds from 6 seconds; instead, it causes the curse to explode a second time after an additional 8.5 seconds."

The *** is this ***?!
Correct me if I'm wrong, and God, please let me be wrong, but the way this reads is: <cast> < 6s > < explode> < 8.5s > <explode> (Total 14.5s)
On the PTS, it was originally <cast> < 6s > < explode> < 6s > <explode> (Total 12s)
EVERYONE hated it, so it got changed to <cast> < 3.5s > <explode> < 8.5s > <explode> (Total 12s) WHICH WAS *** TONS BETTER CAUSE WE STILL HAD VELOCIOUS CURSE BASICALLY

SO BEFORE I QUIT PLAYING MY SORC FOREVER, COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TEL ME THIS IS A TYPO, OR THAT I MISREAD IT, OR THAT I *** SUCK AT MATH OR SOMETHING, CAUSE IM ABOUT *** DONE WITH ESO.
LEAVE SORCS ALONE!!!!!!

    It does both

    Explodes 3.5s
    Then 8.5s.

    It's just a typo i think or you've read it wrong.

    Developer Comments
    We initially changed Haunting Curse to boost Sorcerer PvE DPS by freeing up global cooldowns. Due to the overwhelming response from the community on this change, we’ve decided to allow Curse to retain its previous PvP burst potential while being more effective in PvE. If you want to cast Haunting Curse every 3.5 seconds for fast attacks on blocking targets, that’s an option. If you’d like to get more out of your cooldowns, then only cast it every 12 seconds to get 2 explosions. The choice is yours!

    I'm still not sure what the point of the change was......its still better to recast the ability after the first explosion.
    I can get 3 explosions in 10.5s if i recast rather than 2 explosions over 12s.

    You can recast it to cause it to explode every 3.5 seconds, I am assuming great for PvP

    Or have the longer, more powerful blast after the 12 seconds or PvE. Maybe you can switch that either way. I do not play my sorc that much, so if my information is off I apologize.

    It looks like the wording or something might be off. Why not just try it out?

    Does that mean that you can re apply the curse after the 3.5 sec explosion and and stack / overlap the explosions? so you get 4x blasts? (while i was typing this started to sound super op)
    Or is it useless to apply the curse more then ones every 12 sec?
    got to change the gameplay eater way. but it doesn't sound to bad for me. Yes i am a noob
    But i see loads of opportunity's by not having to weapon swap like a crazy person to maintain the curse every 3.5 sec
    Gives more room for different type of plays. still waiting for servers to pop, So its all in my head.

    But it looks good cant wait to try it 4reelz
