The Necromancer Class Mastery Script appears to potentially be bugged on the PTS as it appears to always attempt to create a corpse rather than providing a buff for the number of corpses you have nearby.

It's probably not a bug, but I'm not sure what thread this should have been posted in.

I have bad experience using the Vault. I really don’t like the animation time of this skill, it’s too long. When you press the skill, you get a micro delay until an explosion happens under your feet, then you get an eternity long flight time, and after landing there is also a micro delay that prevents you from immediately sprinting or drastically changing the direction of your character. But this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that if there is an obstacle behind you, you will have to wait forever while your character performs a backflip while standing in one place. This is a big problem because while the animation is going on, you have no control over the character.

Comparing Vault to Streak, Streak also has a delay before teleporting, but afterwards during teleport you can activate sprint and change the direction of the character in flight, which generally creates a feeling of smooth use of the skill.

I would like Vault to feel just as smooth, and have faster animations. It would be a great addition if an obstacle was detected behind you, the skill animation would instantly stop and you would immediately gain full control over the character.

My feedback from the perspective of a PvP player. I was very excited when such a skill appeared in the game, but after trying it I realized that it is too clunky and "raw" to use it in my build.

Healing Burst and Healing Contingency still hard target 6 people in a 12man team making them not useful for 12man content.

Trample with Thief Swiftness still has 3s delay before ground AOE appears after cast is finished making it 5s delay from when character starts casting the ability, making that particular scribing unusable, since you won't be in the area if you need that speed bonus.

Agree with you on Thief's Swiftness but the 6-player cap is standard behavior for healing and buff skills in ESO.

The game doesn't advertise it but basically all heal/buff abilities/sets have a target cap of 6 players.

From what I understand, the 6 player cap isn't an issue because of that, but instead because the skill will hit 6 people and then refuse to hit anyone else, so no matter how many times you cast it, the skill will only target the first group. I've not done any group content that size in a while, so can't say for sure, but I remember hearing about it before.

It's like Vigor and a bunch of other skills in that it will continually hit the same targets unless people are moving around. Barely any heals or buffs in this game are "smart" in the sense that they will prioritize targets without an instance of that buff/heal active. The work is on the person applying them to get creative. Which isn't ideal, for sure, but it is what it is until they change it.

WTB Skill Styles for Scribing. The gold healing effects on Burst and Contingency look nice on Templar but clash with other aesthetics, something like the blue on Vigor or the Resto skills would be really nice. Contingency is also weird in that Fiery Contingency is blue smoke, while the shield on Warding Contingency is orange and looks like fire.

More Contingency weirdness is that the initial cast is gold like a healing skill no matter what it does after that, while I initially expected as a Mages Guild skill that it would be the light blue color like the others.

The new Chilling Throw incorrectly deals Physical Damage with the signature script.

On the other hand, if Focus Script is Magic Damage, it deals magic damage over time.


I believe the Frost Focus should also change the DoT to be Frost Damage for consistency.

just tested this, it does actually seem to do frost damage via the damage overtime as that damage procced the chilled status effect for me. its just the tooltip is incorrect.

Seems like there a lot of tooltip bugs in scribing.
I have already made a post on sorcerer’s energized passive. It buffs the tooltips of all martial damage scripts but doesn’t buff shock.
For anyone unaware, all these bugs are visual only.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in a different Scribing feedback thread before, but something seems off with the Necromancer's Class Script. I added the script to Wield Soul and when I use Wield Soul to initiate combat (or shortly afterwards), the corpse that is generated can't be consumed by Detonating Siphon. That untargetable corpse does, however, increase the damage of Boneyard and procs the Corpseburster set.

I'm guessing Detonating doesn't work because of that "Once every 3 seconds..." part of the Class Script, because if I use Wield Soul 3+ seconds after initiating combat the corpse that is created is highlighted and can be consumed by Siphon. Hence, I think it is a bit inconsistent at the moment: Either the Class Script shouldn't generate a corpse at all in the first three seconds of combat, or that corpse should be targetable by Detonating Siphon as well (which would be preferable).

It is also a bit annoying that the Class Script doesn't generate a corpse when there is another corpse around, even if that corpse has already been consumed by another skill. As it stands, I don't seem to be able to reliably use both Unnerving Boneyard and Detonating Siphon together while I rely on Wield Soul and the Class Script to generate corpses *. And, as has been said before, it would be better if the corpse that is generated by the Class Script dropped at your target's feet instead of behind the player, as its current position isn't great if one intends to use it with Siphon (and/or Corpseburster).

* Admittedly, I was only interested in doing a parse with Wield Soul instead of Blighted Blastbones and don't intend to actually replace BB. Still, I think that the Necromancer Class Script could be improved for players that do intend to use it as a corpse generator.

The Twilight Warrior Skill Style is still missing from the Crown Store even though the patch notes indicate that it would be previewable there
