PTS Patch Notes v4.1.4

The Elder Scrolls Online v4.0.4 is the final incremental PTS patch, and includes a few item set adjustments and general bug fixes. We’ve also made it so you can dodge Rune Cage, and implemented a fairly significant change in that siege weapon damage and effects will no longer proc item sets. We truly appreciate all the feedback and bug reports we’ve received during this PTS cycle. The size of this patch is approximately 104MB.

General- Fixed an issue causing robes from the Moon Hunter and Hanu's sets to drop in the Breton motif, rather than their correct motif.
General- Fixed an issue where the Beast Personality wasn't visible until you collected it. You can now see the Beast Personality in your Collections menu, even before you've unlocked it (so you can see how to do so!)

Furnishings- Updated the Summerset Noble's Parlor Pack to include two "Alinor Drapes, Noble" instead of one.
- Fixed an issue where the Specimen Jars found in the Sinister Hollowjack Items were an opaque black. You can now see the squicky bits inside.
- Added the missing "Alinor Table, Noble Grand" furnishing to the Summerset Noble's Kitchen Pack.
- It is now easier to select the "Tree Ferns, Cluster" furnishing.
- Fixed an issue where some stone items appeared a bit strange when highlighted in the housing editor.
Homes- Fixed a number of minor visual issues with water and visible seams between objects in the Grand Psijic Villa.
- Fixed an issue where the ceiling in the interior space of the Hunter's Glade was not properly joined.

✭✭✭✭The Riposte nerf has me worried. This is just going to push more light armor players back into heavy armor. Being in heavy means we are going to need to rely more on procs to get our damage, since we lose penetration and crit and have to build more sustain. This is just another example of a well-intentioned change to a source of defense that was considered to be overperforming, whose end result will simply be even more tanky players getting kills with Sload's/Caluurion's/Skoria/etc. Great job ZOS.7-day PVP campaign regular 2016-2019, Flawless Conqueror. MagDK/stamplar/stamwarden/mageblade. Requiem, Legend, Knights of Daggerfall. Currently retired from the wars; waiting on performance improvements.20 -

✭✭✭✭✭Finally Wizard's Riposte is being looked at. Even though it changes nothing at all as long as you attack the target.
And I'm not sure if Defensive rune really needs the same treatment as rune cage. I think defensive rune should remain as it is and only rune cage should be dodgeable.Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,
Magnus is my mind.

How would you -or anyone else who are on the same side- balance the classes if you were ZoS combat team?
I'm really interested in a solution that doesn't cause more qq in these forums. I'm asking this seriously, how would anyone here balance the classes, making them all happy?
Seems to me like you guys are chasing something that doesn't even exist.PC|EU4 -

✭The forgotten class known as Magden can get a 100% uptime on defile on multiple targets with corrupting pollen... these nerfs to defile sets and ability up times have actually given Magden a unique identity as the defiler subclass in PvP... It’s too bad that this was achieved by taking power from other builds thoughEdited by _Ahala_ on 6 August 2018 15:3011 -

This is most certainly true, a nice little boost to see a few magdens out there.2 -

Nah I'd keep Defensive Rune the same. Considering its conditions it needs to be undodgeable and unblockable. Having Rune Cage without counterplay was just stupid.6 -

✭I guess we will hear more about the class balance changes in the Murkmire patch... Its actually better that they are spending time perfecting them rather than rushing out disastrous balance changes... While I would have liked to see some small buffs to weak classes in the mean time as a show of good faith, what’s done is doneEdited by _Ahala_ on 6 August 2018 15:231 -
