Please don't touch warden, it's already arguably the lowest down on the scale as far as classes go!

I fear the game is going to become elder cro's online again with the mass buffs throughout the entire class.

Sigh...

Necro pets should last longer than a standard dot. It's very tedious keeping the skeleton up.

Ring of Preservation's heal has not been buffed by 278%. It has not been buffed at all.

It ticks for 865 every 0.5 seconds on live. It ticks for 865 every 2 seconds on PTS. Same setup.

sorc dps loss of 20% to 25% (hard to tell when you buffed the 21m dummy)
this is not good.

Hard disagree. The longer the necro pets last, the fewer corpses you can create.

Just wondering if the forums are bugged for you guys. Are you unable to see the posts in response to these changes? It is odd that there has been zero response to any of the feedback thus far. Again, just wondering.

No it's just that the community is kind of in shock, if you go to ESOU for example you can see how people are reacting.

Flurry, Rapid Strikes Animation

For the love of god put it back to the animation it was. Why are all the abilities looking silly and ridiculous like it comes from a 6 year old girls saturday morning cartoon? Why can't we just play the game? I understand making combat changes and the way the game is played, but what the hell is it solving to make it look and feel so clunky and silly?

Making changes to help new players become more acclimated is fine and I understand, but instead of making it at the cost of experienced players why not take some time and write a proper how to instead of masking the inability to fix the issues with making existing players have even worse experience. What exactly is being solved? Who is it for? You really just made gameplay worse for new players and between that and the rampant toxicity in the game people will abort faster than they have lately. (This is about PVE not the constant crying from the PVP Community)

Surprise attack does not guarantee crit from flank on pts

Found out a "bug" with the new Whip's Seething Fury.

Upon casting Venomous Claw (for example), i can see a 10s Seething Fury buff. I also gain weapon and spell damage in my character sheet. If i use Molten Whip, it consumes the actual Seething Fury buff, but there's no 2nd buff to tell when the weapon and spell damage bonus will disappear (since this component is no longer consumed by Molten Whip anymore).

The expected behaviour for me would be to have 2 separate visible buffs : Seething Fury for the empowered whip's damage, and a different weapon & spell damage buff (i assume the second buff is some kind of invisible buff managed on the backend). Otherwise, PC players will have an unfair advantage by being able to track the weapon & spell damage duration while console players won't.

Mirage's skill countdown goes back up to the full count when a stack of the dodge roll discount is added.

Same here. I even tried different dummies just to be sure, including the 21 mil. It crits as usual, whatever my crit chance is. And yes, I hit the dummy from behind and also tried from side. Also tried backstabber cp on and off to see if it was dummy issue. Backstabber worked fine.
Unless it's the cmx issue.

Reaving Blows (Warfare Champion Point) don't work on Necromancer Blastbones (both morph) even though it's a direct damage skill.

First off, I'm liking to thank you that your team incorporated suggestions from the Templar feedback thread. I'm genuinely happy to see that feedback is really considered! They are my favorite additions I'm looking forward to in update 35.

As for feedback about game balance, I'm going to focus on the current changes: I did notice a serious discrepancy in healing with the "Radiating Regeneration" from Restoration Staff line, and "Vigor" skill from Alliance War line. They are now extremely similar in values, despite that "Regeneration" requires a restoration staff. "Vigor" is universal and does not need a weapon.

It plays a big part in ESO what added utility a weapon (such as a staff) provides. The Restoration Staff is meant for healing. So its passive skill "Restoration Master" adds 5% more healing while actively wiedling the staff. However, the nerf to "Regeneration" makes this no longer worth it for many situations, and the passive skill does not balance it out.

Why? Because now healers could switch to "Vigor" and use a backbar destruction staff with a weapon damage enchantment, and get better use and healing out of this than using the "Regeneration" restoration staff skill. Not only does that feel wrong, it is making things more difficult for dedicated healing builds. The Regeneration nerf will likely make people consider to use either Vigor or Energy Orb, with don't require a staff at all. Considering that "Echoing Vigor" provides a big area radius and increased duration, this is particularly putting the restoration staff at a disadvantage now.

My suggestion: "Radiating Regeneration" needs to be more closer to its value in update 34, at least to a skill like Energy Orb. The Regeneration skill makes it already difficult to target many people at once, unlike the area of effect healing skills (like Vigor). Having to target people and using a skill multiple times should be rewarding and add value. Right now, the only added utility with "Radiating Regeneration" is the provided mobility, because players don't need to stand in a healing circle.

One more plot twist: On stamina builds, "Vigor" can now manage to provide more healing than the "Regeneration" skill. The question that arises here is, are magicka Restoration Staff healers supposed to heal less over time than a stamina damage dealer with Vigor? If not, this needs to be carefully corrected in balance, so that this is not becoming an issue.

Because additionally, when it comes to solo healing and PvP, "Resolving Vigor" is now outstanding compared to "Rapid Generation" - particularly that "Resolving Vigor" now has the Major Resolve buff. While "Resolving Vigor" guarantees that you heal yourself and not someone else by accident, which can be the case with "Regeneration". With even better healing than "Rapid Regeneration".

Below are images I took on the PTS, with a magicka character, for a rough comparison how close the skills are in healing value now.



Thank you for reading.
