Re: It Appears Grey Host and Vengeance Will Exist Side by Side After All. Thoughts?
I dont think you will have to worry about waiting in the queue of GH campaign once Vengeance is there xD I dont see the reason why bigger groups, casual PvP guilds, random PvE players or just more casual players would choose GH over Vengeance. And the actual PvP community is actually quite small in ESO.

The tome quest, weekly as well as seasonal, are boring as hell. Therefore, I just canceled my subscription. No content, no money!

Re: It Appears Grey Host and Vengeance Will Exist Side by Side After All. Thoughts?
What achieved will be that Grey Host will be a ghost town in the long term and the campaign will be closed and all sweaties will have to shift to the new planned middle sized Cyrodiil Map, since there wont be enough population for a bigger map. There they will just grind their absurd builds/sets against each other while their dropping sweat ruining their gaming screen 1 inch away. And then eventually they will realise how much they actually got carried by their builds and sudden meta changes throughout the years and suddenly wont enjoy ESO PvP that much anymore since all players they are competing will be similar sweaties and there wont be any easy wins.
In the meantime we will enjoy a more controlled, structured, slow-paced and fair large-scale PvP experience in Vengeance together with normal people. And hopefully this time devs wont make the same mistakes they made throughout the years and wont butcher PvP every patch and instead just make slower and balanced iterative changes keeping concepts and systems faithful to originals and not trying to mix everything with everything.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
I will say so far questing as a werewolf has been a massively more enjoyable experience. the model is great. the animations feel nice. This rework has been great mechanically. I can't really speak on balance but gameplay feel seems spot on. werewolf went from really annoying to something I would be excited to play when it hits live.

Re: Fashion Megathread
My Imperial. A combination of Imperial Heavy Tier 3 and 4, and a House Hexos sword and board. He has no true name.
I call him the "Exiled Gladium" for self-roleplay because he disobeyed an unknown order from the false Empress Clivia Tharn (Molag Kena) because he felt something was off, and was banished from the Legions, and Cyrodiil on pain of death from it. Now he wants vengeance, and some answers as to why this is happening at all.

Cato, could you elaborate on what you're referring to in the comment above? I'm reading it as a belief that Veterancy will be only for those who participate in the Vengeance campaign, and that's not the case. Or is this about something else?
Re: Please, PTS feedback to a console player: some questions
1 - we don’t have all the pages of the next tome. What’s in the personality’s spot is body markings (or maybe it’s a skin, I don’t recall). It’s quite pretty but also very specific in use since it’s bright green and black.
2 - I didn’t notice anything but I also didn’t look.

Correct, was NA. Hmmm odd it didn't seem like it was updating and zone chat was commenting. I'll keep track the next ffew evals and see. Could have just been a blip/delay. Sorry for the possible false flag.
No worries! It's good to raise. Yes, please let us know if you notice anything not working or updating as it should.
Yeah, it's updating correctly. Don't mind me... I need more coffee I guess.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
My builds are tuned much more offensively than Hoang. I'm generally around mid 30k hp and mid 20k armor with cp investment into crit resist and % mitigation. Conservation of Energy and Dark Deal carry resources. Blood Magic (via Conservation) and Surge are such powerful pseudo-HOT effects that I only seem to need Vigor and Dark Deal on top of those.I really wonder how Stamsorc does all this DPS whilst having 4 hots and 33k armor and 34k health. I mean what do you even use to still have high DPS?
Rest of build is offense and speed. New Shattered Paths Signet + Class Masteries like Static Reverb finally have pressure competitive with burst. I can hit 8k on both the Serpent's Disdain + BfB vamp version, and the MDW + Maarselok mortal version. Both include Vate Inferno back bar and Dragon's Appetite body. Most parts beyond that are standard meta, or interchangeable.
It's not just build though, you need to strike first and perfectly land your entire rotation while eating or avoiding whatever your opponent is throwing at you, which means perfect positioning, effective block weaving and roll canceling, and dynamically adjusting your rotation. I also can't sit there being parsed on like Hoang, so tactically I'm either killing, dying, or Streaking.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
Pyrebrand shouldn't interact with Wildfire Embers. Procs aren't supposed to proc procs.
Pyreband & wildfire embers on the PTS are doing absurd DPS numbers. Between those two things + burning, which are essentially all "free" sources of damage which require no thoughtful input from you, they're sometimes netting a combined 4-5k DPS.
It's cool to see a playstyle avenue for dot DK via that mastery passive, but I really hate that we're embracing the "my light attacks cause you to take 5k DPS" mindset. It feels cheap and lazy compared to having passives boost the actual dot abilities of DK themselves. It's problematic in the same way that sets like relequen are problematic. Not to mention completely oppressive to fight against.
Would rather see the passive reworked to boost your dot abilities in some way. Flat % modifiers to dot damage, or perhaps scaling interactions when using multiple DK dots (shatterspike, embers/claw, burning talons, breath). Like perhaps having one of these DK dots active on your opponent will cause the next applied dot to deal x% more damage for it's duration. Just something that requires more thought than the fire and forget damage that is pyre/wildfire.
Conservation of Energy makes Blood for Blood full resource positive on all 3 pools. You spam it and all 3 resource pools go up. This maybe shouldn't proc on skills that cost health.
I feel like if we're embracing the "classes can have access to infinite sustain" idea that DK now has, the mag/stam sustain isn't the main issue with conservation (even though it is nearly all the sustain you need as far as duels on the PTS go). The bigger issue I'm seeing is how much this heals now. It is #1 healing on CMX every single fight, and rewards you for stacking health which is a huge problem in PVP. For example, here is the healing on a 40k HP sorc build (which is very easy to achieve these days without giving up much).
Seems some sort of cooldown or reduction in effectiveness to the healing portion of conservation of energy is needed. I am all for buffing the pure classes to DK level, but this is like effortlessly-unkillable levels of healing (assuming you're not fighting an 8k dps pyre DK or a 10k dps WW).
