Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
Font of Power
This passive provides 851 weapon and spell damage on my character carried over from live. The sheer amount of raw stats offered is a little concerning but the passive doesnt have any secondary effects like granting maximum crux to arcanist or granting 300 weapon and spell damage to team members like templar. Imo the passive doesnt need a nerf, but would be a good idea to keep an eye on it.
It needs buffs. Warden gets 1665, Nightblade up to 2500 (or 1250), Arcanist can stack over 900 or 30% damage done.
Font of Power is too weak and requires you to stack a highly suboptimal stat, while other classes get their damage just for living and using what they already do.
1500 magicka scaling would still be too harsh for Font of Power.

Live GH pvp fails at this because coordinated ball groups of 12 players can stack group sets and buffs to the point where they 12x their 12x players..........effectively becoming worth 144 players worth of stats in one tight coordinated ball. Its just uncontrolled design on zos's part where now you allow 12 player groups to force 144+ players to leave the campaign because they just lose any fight they come into.
The hope with Veng would be to bring back build elements like Sets or morphs without ballooning too much into group stacking mechanics.....which are probably the worst offending performance set design for the server anyways. IMO there should be a UI based veng set collection stickerbook where your veng gear is stored. Just focus on nonproc sets and maybe the stat tradeoff concepts already in the perk system. For skill morphs, just do different versions of skills like make dizzy do low damage quick cast, make wrecking morph do high damage long cast time. Real simple but creates an insane amount of playstyle diversity without ballooning the game with tacked on effects for every morph.
I don’t think giving kudos to ZOS for not balancing Cyrodiil is the way to go.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
Stamsorc and magsorc will 100% be the 2nd or at least 3rd strongest spec in the game after this patch goes live, guaranteed. We gaming now fellas
And this is a sin? Sorc can only be abided when it's last or 2nd last? I do not see the issue here. Good it's finally playable with good emphasis again.
Until you fight 40k+ HP sorcs that proc Blood Magic every GCD with a 4.4 - 4.7k tooltip. Then you’d wish this passive never went live in that state.
I personally think that passive needs to proc off Sorc abilities only, but what can I do? ZOS has the final say.
@hoangdz
I don't hate this and I think it's fine for right now because Sorc hasn't had their refresh yet.
Remember, we have to compete with the whole scope of subclassed builds, that includes BOTH Stam Sorc & Mag Sorc and whilst Stam Sorc has the clear advantage if we nerf the passives then Mag Sorc gets tossed into the back seat again.
I've been a proponent that these passives need to deliver pretty strongly because Sorc skill slotting is so poor in a pure class context, especially in PvP.
Given the power creep that we've seen out of the subclassed crit metas in PvP I think this is fine. Leave it for now and then adjust accordingly during the Sorc refresh.
Sorcs may have gained solid sustain here but they still have garbage skills in the grand scheme of combat .. We still have no target mobility debuff, our go-to mobility skill has less range than other class abilities and poor follow up, we have no reliable spammable heavy burst.
Plus, there's a slew of other class skills that deliver a heal component with their spammable damage output so the Sorc passives help align us in that perspective with those other skills in an a by proxy way. We're still very much lacking so this is needed right now.

Is it? When a dungeon finishes in FFXIV I can run around and sight-see or pick up chests that were skipped as long as I'd like.
Re: Why is there a timer at the end of a dungeon?
Sometimes it is disband too. Sorry, can't explain it to you since don't understand it too. If player stay in dungeon, I usually don't leave group as long as I could. If I have another group activity, then I just leave.

Nightblade: Hemorrhaging / Poison

I think those two would fit Necro well, and I am not opposed to seeing diseased buffed some to make it more appealing outside of PVP.

Nothing can be worse than 80% of the kit being useless. We're regulated to a handful of skills of which you can get half of through subclassing. I'll take upcoming nerfs with open arms to have a better designed class from top to bottom.
This here exactly (which was also one of the main factors behind my original thread back in U36 that proposed a full rework to sorcs entire kit).
I'd love to have DKs current dilemma of wanting to slot (or at the bare minimum tinker around with) every single skill/morph of the class kit rather than just having 1 ability always used, a couple of others that are fill in's for when the build isn't getting a better option from elsewhere and the rest being completely unusable.
I chose Sorcerer originally because it was the lightning class, but right now I have streak and that's really all I have left in sorcs kit that still feels somewhat like that original design/feeling.
There's a lot of abilities with shock damage tacked on, but none of them have that same feeling to them (most just feel like recolored/retextured fireballs, looks at overload, shocking soul, shock clench, etc.).
My biggest hope for the class refresh is if ZOS can somehow include that chain lightning ability from infinite archive into sorcs kit, that is one of the most satisfying and coolest lightning effects I have seen in this game in a very, very long time (it's also very muted visually as well so it's not mega flashy like things like overloads heavy attacks, etc. while still retaining that feeling of lightning jumping across the battlefield).
The chain lightning from the Infinite Archive is indeed a very satisfying effect. I love whenever it goes off. Though ironically it's also a useless thing like most Sorc shock skills. It deals very low damage and becomes redundant after a few rounds. But that is beside the point. We need these visuals.
I am 100% referring to the visuals of that effect (I also just always take it on my IA runs, just cause I love it that much, even though it does fall off very quickly, it just looks so cool).
I really hope ZOS can lean into the visual design of that effect for the Sorcerer rework. It's flashy and feels like lightning without being over the top or feeling like a different element that's been reskinned like overload, wield soul, clench etc. all do.
That effect is something I was actually hoping would be what the static class mastery passive and the scribing class script would look like for their visuals, where it would chain a small lightning proc to nearby enemies for bonus cleave instead of just a boring reskinned circle to show it as an AoE.
