It looks like Azureblight has been further nerfed outside of what was posted in the patch notes to now only tick once per second instead of what is current on live as once per .5 seconds. Even if the released patch notes were completely reverted, it would still see its damage halved. I have no idea what the purpose of just aggressively destroying the only good universal cleave set in the game. Only working on monsters gets rid of the pvp concerns and changing the tick rate dials the damage back for pve. Can we please just leave it at that. Leave the tooltip where it was and get rid of this new ridiculous scaling.

✭Azureblight was simply a tool to be used because ZOS keeps designing fights with an overtuned number of dangerous adds. Reef Guardian, Bahsei, Ansuul, Lucent Citadel knot running... it wasn't some always set that people used in all situations at all times

I've been watching the WoW mythic race and it's crazy watching a single well designed enemy with ample threat instead of just a plethora of adds creating an artificial sense of difficulty. Would be nice if they didn't actively design content to require cleave so that Azure being deleted wouldn't be a crushing blow to the feasability of content.Edited by madmufffin on 25 September 2024 01:165 -

✭✭It would also be nice if all classes had toolkits with equal access to cleave if content is going to continue to be designed this way.
There’s an xkcd comic I think is relevant to how AB was holding up both PvP and PvE, in different ways.
In PvP, ball groups. Enough said. AB was the only semi-effective counter.
In PvE, it was the need for cleave in certain specific encounters, combined with some classes not having access to decent cleave without AB.

Theignson✭✭✭✭✭ZOS nerfs one of the only sets that can fight nearly invincible ball groups but leaves untouched the universally abused-by=ball-groups and broken, nonconforming to 10 years of ZOS rules, set Rush of Agony
I guess they are going to keep buffing ball groups to the bitter end of PvP3 GOs, a General, and bunches of prefects etc-- all classes...I've wasted a lot of time in PVP1 -

I agree that rush is quite strong and as a bit of advice you really need to block and clear the area to avoid fear they will no doubt cast.0
