Re: Big nerf: velothi ur-mage's amulet

The dammage done to monsters that the amulet was giving is 15% which was changed from multiplicative to additive. This means that for the average player (who has other sources of additive damage such as minor berserk, damage from chapion points ..) this will lower our overall damage by about 5%.

We know beam builds are easier but they are no way near the top builds. It provided a way for mid skill players to be able to run group PvE content in a decent way withough being overpowered.

The amulet needs either a buff from 15% to 20% or it needs its penalty to Light and heavy attack damage to be halved from 99% to 50% (as at 99% you can still proc weapon enchants with no damage loss).

What I am most afraid is that without a buff to the amulet we might need to kick players from trials if they run a beam build as their damage will be even lower than before and it is just not worth it keeping them around.

But for trial finder groups: man, those groups will struggle with damage as at least half of the players there are beam builds and they will not be able to finish any vet content.

(for me its fine I will just go to anyother of my other classes: DK, or pure sorc or pure nightblade or purre templar build is fine as long as people would know how to light attack weave)

But as a lot of people run beam builds with Velothi, nerfing their core item would make a drop in player enjoyment and can lead to less player base down the road which none of us want for this game.

Any nerf to beam builds is welcome, healthy and needed change, what's not to like?

Re: Official Discussion Thread for "Tamriel Tomes Season Zero Developer Update"

@ZOS_Kevin

Personally, the 2000 Tome Point limit is honestly kind of crazy for any reason, and the auto-claim system being implemented is an awful idea. Why would any company force players into receiving items they don’t want when they exceed the Tome Point cap, and then automatically convert any remaining points into gold and expect players to be happy with that outcome?

Auto-Claim and Auto-Gold Conversion should never be forced on any player, in any situation.

I’ve also noticed that players who purchased Premium or Premium Plus are actually punished more than those on the free tier, since everything converts across both tiers. That feels completely backwards.

Why would anyone want to be forced into spending when you go over the limit on things you don’t want at all?

I would much rather save my points and use them later on something I actually want.

For me and my wife, this honestly feels like a hit below the belt. It doesn’t feel fair in the slightest. At this point, it starts to feel like a “dump and run” situation, even after the time and money we’ve invested into ESO. I’m not going to feel locked into constantly grinding weekly or seasonal rewards just to spend points before they expire, especially when rollover isn’t even allowed. That’s simply not right.

My Thoughts:

1.) ESO Plus Should Remove the Cap
We already pay for ESO Plus, and in our opinion, that alone should remove the Tome Point cap, especially for annual subscribers. We received a large amount of Tome Points because of that subscription, which makes sense, but now it feels like it doesn’t matter. As we are being punished for having to many tome points

Instead, it’s become a “Spend it or Lose it” system, or worse “we’ll spend it for you” through auto-claim and auto-gold conversion at season rollover.

2.) Premium Plus Rewards Feel Worse Than Free Tier
We both purchased Premium Plus expecting the top-tier rewards to be worth it, only to realize that the rewards on the top paid tier are actually worse than the bottom free tier.

I genuinely don’t understand how things like Crown Crates, Trade Bars, Endeavors, and other high-value rewards ended up on the free track, while the paid track is filled with items many players won’t even use.

Personally, I don’t care much for outfit styles or skill styles, I’ll never use most of them and if i want them I'll buy them. Meanwhile, the free tier is packed with the things that actually matter.

Examples of Poor Premium Plus Paid Tier Rewards:

Transmute Crystals
Crown Lethal Poisons
Jewelry Crafting Research Crates
Adventuring Supply Packs
Gold Coast Poisons (Trapping / Draining)
Outfit Change Tokens
Alchemy Craft Bag
Gold
Crown Fortifying Meals
Crown Refreshing Drinks

To be blunt, these feel like low-value filler items. If anything, these should have been placed on the free tier if included at all, not on a paid tier that people are spending money on.

I usually Support ESO and Players within it and Avoid Complaining, but this genuinely feels like subscribers are being punished rather than rewarded, and that shouldn’t be the case. If anything, subscribing should enhance the experience, not make it worse.

It also feels exactly like what happened when we bought Premium Plus expecting strong rewards, only to find that the free tier had the better value with crates, trade bars, endeavors, and other meaningful items.

Final Point:
There shouldn’t be a cap on Trade Bars at all.

If the concern is players selling items, then simply remove the ability to sell those items on guild traders and bind them to the account. That would solve the issue without punishing players.

Bottom line:
This system feels restrictive, forced, and unfair, especially for paying players.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf

The "majority"? Rele is making up 20% there. Remove that, and you're left with 8k dps - still higher than anything else in the game currently with just one bar of abilities. Being able to push that number with the level of simplicity that is WW is just indefensible.

Seemed pretty obvious there that I meant the biggest hitter of your focused damage (i.e. top of your parse) comes from a proc set completely removed from werewolf.

I've yet to see any proof that this is a problem from you. You come in here with a wolf I assume is running every damage morph possible, Rele (which is literally doing 20% in your 'insane' player parse), and no video proof or even proof of another spec running in-line, dueling meta dmg bs and keep saying 'but everything else does this number... and this does this number'.

I'm asking for proof. You want awareness about an issue like this, you create a video. You have a YT channel right so this shouldn't be a difficult ask for you by any means~

Give me a side by side proving you're running the same build on 2 'meta' (subclass/dk and wolf) characters and I want to see the results based on that. Werewolf is NOT running 40k health with all of the damage morphs as the healing howl alone will cause them to lose damage and actually received a healing nerf (albeit some potency returned via major vitality). The damage heal is some number UNDER a breath of life... and you still don't have any vigor equivalent or cross healing so any damage increase (which we knew was coming) would be under check with you running like that and being hyper-squishy.

I mean fluff, your spammable is only pulling 5.2k (2.8k 1st tick, 2.4k 2nd tick) average based on whatever your own parse is showing. Have I lost it, is this considered out of control damage? I can literally incap (70 ult) a max resist player and hit them for 6-8k surprise attacks on crit with ease running rally/essence. If you're worried about spammable damage, don't, people can both return damage back to you and stun you also.
