ESO is not a sci fi spaceship shoot-em up (or at least it shouldn't be)

Oakensoul raises the floor and lowers the ceiling. So yeah, it's possible.
Yup. I don't think it would be that difficult, really. As has been suggested, they're trying to get as much $ out of Arcanist as they can, which okay, I get it, but they're going to get thatmoderatelyfatman wrote: »Jordan_Black wrote: »moderatelyfatman wrote: »ZOS raised the floor on the arcanist to get new players in. The problem is that they raised the floor so high that it's above the ceilings of some of the other classes.
O awesome man I totally didn't know this kthxbai i'll delete my post.
Sorry man. I shoulda quoted you.
Quoting me wasn't the problem lol it was the fact that I thought it should have been fairly obvious I knew why it existed at least by that point in the conversation. Anyway, regardless, all good.0 -

Do you think ZOS is a charityJordan_Black wrote: »Arcanist beam builds should thus be nerfed as hard as oakensoul - it could be a fun build to run around with, or if people want another ezmode (I'm not bashing - I actually love oakensoul builds), but nerfed hard enough where no high level players are using it in meta, and no content creators are recocommending it for anything other than an ez build. I'm getting sick of every raid and dungeon being just a huge lazer beam fest. It simply no longer looks like a fantasy game.
?
You want P2W PvE easiest DD class to get nerfed? Really?
ZOS is company in the business of making money so it's not going to happen especially after disaster U46 and doubling down on it. The easy and super high damage to play PvE class is the only thing left for the potential new Skyrim players. I'm pretty sure all those Skyrim and Oblivion Remastered players are coming in the next two weeks because ESO subreddit told. And you don't want all those new big wave incoming players who are going to buy Arcanist class to get nerfed, right

The cowardly Wood Elves are best noted for their unwillingness to engage in a face-to-face attack; a Bosmer will strike at you from every side except the front. You won't cross swords with a Bosmer, but you might catch an arrow in the throat. Be wary in forests and jungles, and watch your back.0 -

✭I do not think that ZOS should nerf the easy to play builds based on the Arcanist beam. I do not think the current player counts can afford the likely losses in active players that would occur if that happened.
Unless of course ZOS would prefer to also boost the damage of some other easy to play build. Like the easy to play Oakensoul HA builds that were nerfed to Oblivion previously after multiple folks complained on these forums. Because I would be fine going back to that other easy to play PvE build if those nerfs were reversed.1 -

The thing is that the beamers can impact the enjoyment of other players severely, which could also be a cause to leave the game. If these players at least had the decency not to destroy everything in their path in solo content like delves, but they don't.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭How about asking for buffs instead of nerfs? Other skill lines (since classes don't exist anymore) should be made to be as good and convenient to use as Herald of the Tome instead. Arcanist is strong and fun, the real problem is that nobody else is.
Too bad that in the world of subclassing this will immediately cause more problems no matter what. Almost as if subclassing was a mistake of some kind...This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.3 -
noblecron✭✭✭✭✭I agree. They don't want to nerf arcanist beam they shoudl buff/rework other class skills. Hopefully the survey they put out fixes something.Edited by noblecron on 26 September 2025 01:420 -

Yeah, it's arguable that it's intrinsically fun, but it's definitely strong, and in gaming strong = fun.
And I agree that we should ask for buffs for others, because honestly blazing through content with a couple of healing, shielding AOEs is something I wish I could do on a pure sorc.0
