Demonizing AI use isn't going to stop or even slow down its adoption. I suggest you take the approach of laissez faire and just let it go. You'll be a lot happier.
Re: Please re-balance Serpent's Disdain next

Maarselok monster helm requires you to lose a mythic to make sure Serpents disdain is double barred so it isn’t a very common interaction and when it is losing a mythic is a very large sacrifice to make.
Force of nature grants you at MAX 3,960 penetration (which requires all 6 damage types) which is just a hair more than double maces or wearing 3 light armor pieces and requires you to drop a better blue CP slot.
Incoming mythic is already nerfed through battlespirit.
The incoming mythic still provides 85% dmg increase on status effects. Builds with serpent's disdain are already too strong before this becomes a factor.
Maarselok, Force of nature and other things themselves are not an issue as i said, serpent's disdain ties things like this together into incredibly low skill, high power "cheese" specs.
Serpent's Disdain is currently both a top duel set, 1vX set and Xv1 set on PC EU.
Again, it does more than multiple sets put together right now.
I have put a lot of hours on u49 in PvP and have never seen a single person use this set outside of dueling in Wayrest. Comparing this to actual top meta sets is insane. Just compare this to rallying cry, wretched, rush of agony, farstrider, twice fang, shattered fate, gorethief, essence thief, or even dark convergence. (All of these can be one barred and run with a monster helm another 5 piece a mythic and a heavy trainee chest, something you cannot do when wearing serpents.) This set is nowhere near as good as you think it is.
Re: Malevolent Promise in PvP
I have a feeling based on past pvp changes related to corpse mechanics, that it is a performance killer.
If that were the case they'd have made the heal version of the passive PvE only as well
Re: Rele gone from pvp
When is rush of agony getting battle-spirited?
Never, at least not until ZOS releases a new even more broken set for ball groups that also plays their offense for them. ZOS has made that painfully clear over the past few years whenever threads about this set have popped up.
Re: The corpseburster change already has me concerned for the eventual necro rework
I'm really excited about this change because I want to build around Disease Damage on my Necromancer. It sucks that I won't get much use out of a Disease Damage build on Werewolf on that character (because Werewolf lost its own Disease Damage this patch) but hopefully when the Necromancer rework finally happens, I can go all out with Disease Damage in the human form. At least Werewolf's "Insatiable Hunger" still procs Corpseburster.

How can you be so sure? For example nb passive increses crit dmg by 25% in pve and 5% in pvp. Battle spirit doesnt decrease 5% value, it stays 5%. Why templar flat dmg increase gets decreased by battle spirit just like nb passive?
I just want to be sure if this is intended or not. Maybe zos idea was different and only the execition was bad.
The base value of 1500 vs mobs, halved vs players. Battlespirit has another 50% reduction but that kicks in after the flat 750 is added to the base tt of templar skills.
This is why it's such a terrible passive.

Re: do you ever use cp 150 gear vs cp 160 gear
When I started playing, for the first years when I was not much dedicated I used to craft CP150, also because I liked to experiment back then and try and change gear often, so it would be a waste and unsustainable to make everything CP160.
I now have thousands of every CP160 mat but I hoard them and never sell them "just in case".
What I discovered, btw, is that nowadays I find myself using Transmute Crystals more than crafting mats.

Re: do you ever use cp 150 gear vs cp 160 gear
only for the 1st week of 16 becoming the new VR ranks when the game went from v14 to v16 as there wasnt many mats available at that time and i didnt want to use up all my telvar to buy mats id get just playing the game
Re: Faction lock
When I started to PvP in Icereach (which was not faction locked) it was just constant AP trains. Fighing with players who when they couldn't push or do more, they would swap team and retake the same keeps.
I don't care so much for the rewards for Cyro or the leaderboard but would not enjoy if players would could just relog to another alliance at a whim.
I have also seen group of players relog to another alliance just to get to another players and write to/about them via the zonechat of that alliance then swap back.
I enjoy playing for my alliance and I feel like when I play then I play with the hand i'm delt. Sometimes we do good sometimes we do not so good
Not against a short term lock, or make Gray Host a 7 or 14 day campaign so people who wish can swap around more frequently.
I thought we are getting a medium Cyrodiil too in addtion Vengence? Maybe this should be open or they should consider keeping Blackreach as is.
