Or it could also just do something on activation. Like, literally anything at all. As of right now it's just a waste of a GCD.
Even if it just gave us a minor buff on activation, or instead of building crit bonus over time we just got the 10% upfront, maybe have it recast itself at least once like the new sub assault, or just kind of copy the skill that itself is a copy of this skill and have it increase our light attack damage when active, or create something new that synergizes with our kit like have it increase the healing done by siphoning strikes by 20% when it's active, or pretty much anything else someone more creative than me could think up.

It renders Healers and support Roles utterly useless in Cyrodil. i repeat myself here, but it seems not everyone of the DD players (no offense) understands, how tremendous this impacts the rest of the viable options in PVP...
With less cross healing it also makes your role more important and sought after to anyone who knows what they're doing. I do appreciate it makes joining in less of a casual undertaking than someone just doing damage.
I would predict that if this was a permanent change then we would see group building become more important over time. It is just a numbers game at the moment and totally indescriminate. What I'm saying is the net effect will most likely be that support roles become more important, not less.
No group relies on ungrouped PuG healers so there isn't going to be a greater demand for their role. If I'm running solo, I'm running solo and it's not like I'm gonna all of a sudden put LF healer in zone chat to play.
All this change will do is force people who don't necessarily want to group or just want to hop in for an hour or so to group up just to play, which is not only dumb and constraining, but goes completely against the supposed mantra of "play as you want." If ZOS made it so DPS could not damage enemy players unless they were grouped, 95% of the people who support this change would immediately say no way.
The change would also undeniably strengthen the organized groups that people claim to hate and claim to want to see nerfed. If the PuGs can;t heal each other, they stand zero chance unless stacking in ridiculous numbers.
And even if you want to force PuGs to just randomly group up simply to get heals, it will still create idiotic situations where if one group is getting destroyed on a keep flag, their teammates from a different group still can;t support them. It's no longer AvAvA, it's just a glorified battleground with allies who are just in the way
If people couldn't do damage outside of a group then yes everyone would be upset. That is because the over arching point of any PvP scenario is to kill your enemy. Support roles are exactly that... Support. If you have a healer and your enemy doesn't you are at major advantage. Arguing they are the same is redundant in my opinion...
You act like there is nothing in between solo and group. Even in a duo you can take a much larger group. In a group of 24 you don't need healers as much because off all the cross healing, when you lose half of that it is noticible and roles become more important. Would you need healers in a trial if you could take 24 people and everyone was casting aoe heals?
Also in any battle scenario would a medic heal 100 people or is it more likely they were responsible for a smaller group? Say 12?
The overarching point of PvP is to win according to the match conditions. You score your Alliance zero points for killing a player. None. Damage, like healing, buffing, maneuver, strategy, etc., are just means to achieve that goal. DPS doesn't stand in its own special category and the players who DPS are not special snowflakes. If support roles are supposed to support then they should be able to do that for their alliance mates because, you know, they're in the same alliance working toward the same objective. This really isn't that hard. If DPS doesn't have any specific conditions to fulfill in order to do their thing (damage) then it would be inconsistent, not to mention idiotic and about as non-immersive as one could get to put such stipulations on healers and support.
Yes, you would need healers in trials even with 24 because healers do more than heal. They debuff the boss, restore resources to everyone, and buff the DPS so they do a lot more damage. If you have DPS throwing out heals and wearing non DPS sets, their damage drops precipitously and this creates a cascading effect because all these buffs stack with each other. Healers are important ... which is why ungroup PuGs need anything they can get if their going to stand a chance Vs organized groups, to say nothing of just not dying on the inner top floor as it is covered with meatbag debuffs, scattershot debuffs, and cold fire ballista. Anyone who thinks not healing the PuGs is a good idea is either the selfish DPS who gets salty when some healer does their job and deprives them of a KB or quite frankly doesn't pay any attention to what happens in scenarios like the top inner floor of a sieged keep. I doubt there are 10 players on PC-NA who have more oil killing blows than I do; I know exactly what goes on that top floor. Even as a templar who puts down healing ritual and casts heals in between pouring oils I still have to constantly rez people all. the. time. And now you and people like Fengrush think its a good idea to cut off all support to them. Wut? Or instead do people just want to impose how they think Cyrodiil ought to be played and everyone be damned?
As far as a battle scenario the medic heals EVERYONE - including the enemy - because:
- rules of war
- Hippocratic oath
- such actions might convince more of the enemy to surrender
- basic human decency
- why would they not heal their own teammate, duh? Except that somehow makes sense to people on these forums
Re: Do you think races need to be re-balanced?
Most races are pretty good now. The ones I'd like to tweak is Khajiit which is bad compared to other DPS races, and Orc which overperforms.
Grossly. Removing their free HP would go a long way.
Re: Do you think races need to be re-balanced?
As has been said, this has nothing to do with the current PTS. Not only should Zos ignore threads that are unrelated to this subforum the thread will likely not get the attention OP would want.
Besides, I do not think the race passives need to be rebalanced. For the most part, they have never been more balanced. Some tweaks maybe, but the poll is about an absolute total rebalancing or not. As such it would offer poor information even for entertainment value.
Mainly for me it is the sustain stam races that need some rebalancing.With the new endurance changes, with 0 investment in stam regen modifiers (No med armor, no cp, no class modifiers, etc) other than major and minor endurance (easily achievable via potions (major endurance, 40% now) + momentum (minor endurance which is now 20%) on a 2h, a Bosmer has an effective stam regen boost of 413. (258 * 1.6). Redguard at best can get effective 380 stam regen (that is if he/she can hit something every 5 seconds on the 5 seconds which by and large is more or less inconceivable outside of a pure dummy, even so there will be error) Weapon abilities are cheap already as it is so the 8% to weapon abilities won’t amount to much overall, especially if you have cost reduction passives such as from class, WEAPON, or medium armor passives.
This is an oversight by ZOS and since I don’t want Bosmer to be nerfed, so the main solution is for Redguard to be buffed or reworked.
Which is one “tweak” of many that I would do racialwise.
Thx for demonstrating my point about the poll not being conceived well since you are talking about a small tweak but an answer of Yes to the poll is suggesting you want a full rebalancing of the passives.
This thread would have gotten a lot more interest if it was in a relevant sub-forum.
I said yes because an answer of “no” would imply that all the races are fine and 0 changes are needed to be made, which is entirely false hence the need for tweaks to the facials.
As for the positioning of the thread, I guess it could have gotten more support/views if it were in a different sub thread, but who knows?
Re: Do you think races need to be re-balanced?
I think the two most pressing issues as it pertains to PVE balance atm is class balance and race balance. Class balance could solve issues, but there are some abuse cases with race balance that make some classes more busted than they otherwise would be. Stamcro running Lavafoot at no real loss, as an example. Remove HP from Orc, and Stamcro is either paying a bunch more stam for that, or switching to a different food.
Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
That doing ~1k dps quite literally has -nothing- to do with skill whatsoever, as no skills were used at all. Entry level gear that most of us farmed/bought/grinded the moment we hit 160 will pull several times this as long as you arent literally afk... its not that complicated.
Re: Do you think races need to be re-balanced?
Yes, especially the stam sustain races

There I said it.
If too many complex calculations are causing issues... get more processing power...
Required processing power does not necessarily scale linearly. If calculations are proportional to square of number of players playing, doubling number of players would need quadrupling server power.
So quadruple the power. My point remains the same. Its great that work is being done to mitigate laag/performance pinch points... but ultimately a big investment in server power would surely mitigate similar or my suspicion is, a LOT more laag/performance issues.
Point is, all of this is academic.
Sure ZOS can "Optimize" code, but only up to a certain point.
After that, the math is the math.
Either more hardware is added or the performance will continue to bottleneck and decline.
It's a simple bandwidth numbers game.
No rocket surgery required.
Either you have the raw power to do what you want with what you have, or you don't.
Plain and simple.
Bottom line is: Zeni either:
1. Doesn't have the funds to accommodate
2. Doesn't want to spend them due to profit-loss (which is ultimately just greed)
There are no other explanations.
Which of the two it is we will never know, because Zeni is not obligated to reveal their business interests to their consumers, since the consumers hold no stake in their company.
