Huge agree with the need to buff Shadow and Siphon and to get NB out of the one-trick-pony Bowproc jail that it has been in for years.

Refreshing, someone who isn't just a blatantly biased nb main asking for nonsensical buffs to merciless resolve. While trying to claim everyone has been using blastbones and restoring light as the meta.

Guys it does like 20% more damage than take flight does.....its ok to redistribute some of merciless resolve's damage back to the rest of the kit.

One thing I don’t see people complaining about with NB is how squishy it is. It’s the main reason I don’t like playing (I hate clutching on invisibility). That’s the real problem with NB, it has never been a lack of damage. Stop trying to mislead people.

NB needs an actual skill that applied major resolve and through passive. When I’m on a NB I always forget proccing it.

Then for the God's sake tell us what makes NB's damage good. I've asked this multiple times, why didn't you answer? Because it's obviously bad, there is nothing that would reinforce your statement because it's just simply wrong, you just always change subjest or reply "no it's good". I've texted multiple arguments and reasons why NB's damage is poor and all you do is say "no it's good". You just want class you don't like nerfed. It's probably because you just don't read my messeges considering you said that nobody talks about NB survivability when it was literally the first thing I mentioned in my original post.

Also NB doesn't need any skill to proc resolve, it's automatically uptimed with path and NB really needs that because of the lack of slots since NB skills mostly just give you 1 thing. Your sustain skill is just a sustain skill, your brutality skill is just a brutality skill, your special damage skill is just a damage skill etc. For example warden's sustain skill also gives brutality and warden's special damage skill also applies major AND minor breach

I prefer race against time when I’m on a NB for minor force. So it doesn’t really help. NB needs a dedicated skill for major resolve

“What makes a NB damage good?” Seriously? Second best spammable (after DK), high crit chance, high crit damage, best execute (Jesus beam is ahh now), element of surprise (with invisibility), second best burst damage after DK if not the best burst, need I say more?…

I say it again

Yeah you need to say more because nothing you said makes sence

"Second best spammable" - no it's not, DK's and necro's spammable are better, BFB(universal spammale btw) is better. Nothing makes it special it's avg dmg and just applies minor breach and off balance

"high crit chance" - yes but no good skills to crit with

"high crit damage" - no. It's just 10% passive, DK's, arcanist's, templar's and warden's passive grant more crit damage

"best execute" - first - no it's not, and second there is no way you can slot it because NB heavily lacks free skill slots, it's impossible to keep other important things and slot execute at the same time

"element of surprise" is this a joke? NB is the most predictable class possible, there is no element of surprise whatsoever and out of invisibility you can't possibly deal enough damage to kill someone properly geared unless you have a full gank build

"second best burst damage after DK if not the best burst" - this is a straight up lie, I explained why it is multiple times but even there you don't say how come NB has some sort of "burst". You just say it does but it doesn't, I proved and explained why but you refuse to read my messages and just say "no it's good". WHAT burst does NB have? Tell us. How can NB BURST someone? Let's make a simulation: I just stand doing nothing and you are NB. What will you press to "burst" me?

Skulls is better than Surprise? Arc is better than NB? These are absurd and hyperbolic claims that undermine any good argument you have.

Yeah this guy is making some wild claims. Apparently Offbalance being able to stun off GCD with a medium attack is also not strong and its somehow the weakest stun in the game. Even though you have Assassination letting you pair surprise attack guaranteed crit and sunder proc into a medium weave animation canceled stun into your now undodgeable merciless proc with a roughly 56% assassination crit chance.........Dont worry restoring light and blastbones is the real meta apparently

Fights today vs Pelican (4/28, post week 3 adjustments)

No Class Mastery Passives in on his end

With Class Mastery Passives in on his end

WW still insanely strong after yesterday's adjustments. He's got 45k HP in these fights as well, and outheals nearly all damage due to the sheer amount of offensive healing he's still receiving from the WW toolkit, buffed health recovery, and conservation of energy class passive.

Still arguably the strongest possible thing to play 1v1, but probably more reasonable now outside of this scenario. I'd say yesterday's adjustments hit the mark in regards to reigning in the power level a bit.

I'd like to see conservation of energy's healing brought down still, but many people have given that feedback across the appropriate channels. It also seems problematic to me that most of the heals are scaling on health, encouraging WWs to build 40-50k HP for maximum healing power.

This isn't a WW specific problem - health scaling heals/shields in general are extremely problematic in PVP. Really don't think they should exist the same way the do on the PVE side of the game, where they're intended for tanks to use as a self heal.

I wanted to comment that Werewolf is now stronger in pve than before (and on live) and still much better in pvp. After seeing this I am slightly uncertain again, but still think it should be seen now how it goes on Live.

Relequen nerfed and Static Reverb, the 2 things that bothered me the most. Evidently WW did not even need them. Now Conservation of Energy has to stop scaling with max HP and it's okay.

But on PCNA nobody uses incap anymore because it took a backseat to merciless or onslaught being preferred in the combo.

The usual engagement is using your timed skill into surprise attack medium stun with whatever you want for guaranteed damage that GCD. Because the Offbalance stun being off gcd with a medium attack lets you practically guarantee hitting ults or merciless in most scenarios if done right.

You've also got to remember that subclassing gives easy access to self purges so the incap/soul harvest damage amp just gets stripped off, while onslaught's pen is a buff on the caster and won't disappear after a half second. Incap is still strong its just there're other stronger options that aren't as easily countered.

Just gotta point out. We see Zos one week talking about vengeance and performance streamlining etc etc. Then the next week we see them releasing a new system that stacks on the other system doing procs based on other proc effects which trigger off all ticks in the game etc etc.

We get it. You don't like procs or status effects, I'm sorry but I feel like it's all I see you complain about every pts and you've found ways to include it in threads that have nothing to do with it. No offense meant because I ultimately respect your opinion but I'd wager many people disagree with you overall. For example, some of the ideas you've raised about reducing status effects to how they once were are not my brand of fun, and I like "fun".. every element is viable now, whereas for the longest time it was just Flame.

To me, ZOS finally realized they can't gut every single aspect of the game in the name of performance, that ship has sailed and I'm in full support of it or they were going to lose the entire playerbase. The game was stagnated. Not evolving. It felt like it had no real future. They've found a test environment they can really play with instead of messing with the live server experience any time they get a feeling.

I pray for the days where Hurricane and many other abilities like it ticked every second or even every half second instead of the constant over simplification that brought us to U35 and beyond because "hur dur performance". It's a miracle, and it shouldn't be, that DK has 10s dots and Embers. Those are awesome. Hell Sorc has some type of version of implosion back, one of the reasons I mained them 10+ years ago that got ripped away.

If ZOS still treated the game the way they used to, Arcanist, Scribing, DK refresh and all the ones to come next with unique Mastery's would never exist and we'd still be playing "which coloured abilities do you like"?

It's the wild west, let's watch them cook. 2026 has been their best year to date.

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.

Agreed. Our skills need the power buff.

Any well built Sorc should be at or around the 7k Weapon or Spell damage with Font, easily, and that sadly isn't enough to make Sorc skills competitive.d

I'm really surprised they nerfed MoS .. even with the higher W/S damage asking Sorcs to run this set was going to be a tall order.
