If you believe that having multiple Malevolent Necros with Corpseburster is problematic and cannot go into the game then you should 1000% look into the current Pulseganking meta that has been supercharged with Signet.
Outnumbered instakills with zero opportunity for counterplay because the entire damage gimmick is status effects being spammed from 35+ meters range.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander, after all. Please look into reigning that in because, for as bad as it is now, it will get much worse in the next patch.
I don’t understand the criticism about social interaction. In most of the groups I’ve been in many people don’t say a word. You can think of playing in a group as having 11 companions. They just help you with hit points and damage. And you can make them go away when the quest is finished.
Edit: The 11 Companions would be a great guild name!
It isn't terribly shocking that grim focus is a bit of a mess for balance, it is extremely high burst, and a bit of a pubstomper skill. Shifting some of the damage around so its less pure burst could do a lot to make it less punishing, esp. now that we can all bank two shots to delete someone with.
I'd go for something like 70% direct damage 30% 4 second dot instead of 100% direct like we have now, but a bonus damage proc on light/heavy attacks could work too, since the nb has to weave to generate stacks to spend on the bow shot; if slotting merciless made your light attacks trigger an extra X damage proc and your fully charged heavy attacks an extra 2X proc, you could lower the burst of the final arrow by 5X, with the nb would gaining slightly higher sustained damage but not dramatically changed overall dps.
They don't even need to add a new skill line for that. Just add 1 or 2 more skills to each weapon tree and one or both of the staff ones could be stamina costing melee skills. One single target strike and a sweeping multi target strike, maybe?
Corpsebuster's damage doesnt even reach force shock in pvp so I doubt you can find ''groups of pure class necromancers'' going around spending a GCD on this set. Not to mention this passive occurs every 2 seconds and in a big fight its not even going to be on the same enemy
Not quite sure why you believe Cyrodiil has anything to do with this? This is a PvE update targeted at people who enjoy group content in PvE (and is even starting to grow in popularity with the casuals/soloists as they realize grouping can sometimes be fun too).
I am not sure why people keep saying there are no groups. Even on console PS/NA there's 15+ listings for Night Market even on weekday evenings and once you join one of them it takes hardly any time at all for it to fill up completely.
Once you have the achievement that grants the furnishing box, which should have it inside.
I think the vendor option is there in case something goes wrong with the delivery mail (or if people happen to look there first rather than taking or opening the box).
