"Lava Whip: This ability and its morphs now scale off your highest offensive stats, rather than exclusively Magicka based stats. May this finally end the fiery and age-old debate over getting a Stamina Whip, as this is our version of it."
No, this won't stop us asking for stam whip. We play stamina. We build to have high stamina pools. We build to have high stamina regeneration. So no, our spammable costing magic is not what we wanted.
Saying "this is all your getting, stop complaining" when we spent years politely asking for something very basic and reasonable is just [snip] and unnecessary.
Obviously this isn't the end of the world but I got a little bent out of shape when I read that and felt the need to respond.

✭I agree that the comment was a bit snarky,
at first glance i thought it was because because stamina is for weapons and magica is for, well, summoning a whip made out of flame.. but then i remembered all the other classes have stamina versions of magica skills.
DK's had some weird changes over the past few years, with poop fist and poop rocks, not sure why you're not getting what you want.
But then again, as a warden main we never got what we want either,
A comment above about the devs doing the opposite to what people are asking for sounds quite true.

✭✭@Jaraal I guess I usually just laugh at them because 95% of stuff doesnt really effect my builds.
@Chaos2088 Has there ever been a duel scaled skill that cost stam? I cant think of one.
DK isn't my main but it's my favorite class to play. Unfortunately 4 of my skills (two buffs, a heal and a damage skill) were already costing me magic to cast. I can't see how I'll be able to make whip work as well but I'll give it a try.0 -

✭✭✭Not sure how a direct statement about their current design intention is passive aggressive. I know it sounds a bit off, but no one is being personally attacked. Now we know that this is the plan. No stanky whip for the near future, if ever.
It takes two to communicate, and while there can certainly be improvements from the dev side of things, the community can work on not bashing developers or sensationalizing every change or problem or feature request.PC-NA

That is the definition of passive aggressive.15 -

Agree, now on many stamina builds I find the consuming soul trap very nice as it does damage, return resources on target death and cost magic who is an dump stat. However soul trap is not an spamable but an utility spell who is very nice on world bosses with plenty of adds.MovesLikeJaguar wrote: »"Lava Whip: This ability and its morphs now scale off your highest offensive stats, rather than exclusively Magicka based stats.

Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭That new whip does seem like a middle finger. How is it possible to mess up the simplest of requests, and then throw in some wise remark about how you finally listened?11 -
Abstraqt✭✭✭✭It's not passive aggressive, it's not even aggressive at all, I really don't see Stam dks having a difficult time killing people at the moment, and that's with a multitude of builds and play styles. If your ability to have fun in this game rests on you having a stamina version of whip, maybe it's time to take a step back from ESO.17 -

Great, but does this comply with Community Rules they established to show us what they are expecting from members of our community?

On top of that, I suspect that we are nearing the end of the "stamina morphs" and there will never be a "stam whip"...XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

✭Thinking here:
As long as it actually does *damage* based on stamina, so what if it costs magicka? The fact that it costs magicka means it doesn't cost stamina - which means you don't run out of stamina so fast if you need to spend it on, for instance, other skills, or running around, or dodge-rolling, or blocking. Magicka is ONLY used for skills: stam is used for so many other things as well, that it's highly possible to actually get to a fight and not have enough stam left to fight with. On all my stam characters I've included at least one magicka skill on front bar just to break up the stamina usage: the fact that there's ONLY one magicka skill on front bar means I'm also pretty slow to run out of magicka, while letting me fight with stamina for a bit longer than if all my skills cost only stamina.5 -
xgoku1✭✭✭✭✭Lol I read that in the Patch Notes and had a moment. Made a stinker about it in this thread about their snarky comment on the PTS patch notes and presumably they added "... as this is our version of it" in the final Patch Notes.
At least they're sticking to their guns, better than corporate doublespeak IMO.1 -

✭✭Weird and rude reply in the patch but unsurprised. ZOS wants us to play a certain type and this one has been resisting: khajit mag warden; Breton night blade, Redguard necromancer and the list goes on but at the end we are at the mercy of whatever dev team and their favourites.
Thankfully with the introduction of Mirri and Bastie they have been the PVE death squads

They aren't creating art...they're building a product to sell to customers. The product might, in fact, be art, but that's not the point. Burger King doesn't get all pissy when I order extra pickles and no cheese on my Whopper.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭People say they want them to acknowledge when an idea is them listening to the community, regardless if it's exactly what we request, and then get offended by when they do exactly that. 🤷♀️
If they had exactly that while giving a whip that cost Stamina, doubt I'd see this thread.Edited by spartaxoxo on 2 November 2021 16:081
