My own take on the Kireth top. Everyone needs an outfit for artifact hunting! Especially one that matches your mount.

10-Year Anniversary Ebon Leather + Sanity's Orchid

Thinking about u50… I’m excited about the masteries mostly. One thing that been brought up a lot over the years is having a counter damage type for each class. We are seeing flame damage output from the DK, and speculation is frost for warden but who knows. What I think would be nice to see is a negative damage type per class, so when all things are said and done, we’d having certain classes geared better to counter certain classes.

Where this gets tricky and why I’m asking the question now, when the masteries go live, DK will still be the only refresh completed, who also has access to the masteries. So a pure DK will be even stronger than it is now. Im fine with the wait, I want them to get the refreshes correct. But I think implementing a counter damage type pure class, would be a good balance decision.

Example,
Base class DK, increases physical damage against you by 10%.

Same for every class though, I don’t know which damage types should go where cause I don’t know the ins/outs of ZOS design model for the refreshes, but I think having a counter dmg type would keep things fresh for the classes that still need love and ultimately would create more versatility with builds.

Since there’s word of reworking combat this year:

I want to preface by saying that animation cancelling started off as an unintended bug that was later embraced. Ever since, ZOS has tried to build around this bug which is more akin to treating the symptom rather than the cause. It’s time we move past light attack weaving especially since more players are going to be coming to ESO as a result of all the great changes to come. Who would not want those new players to know what's going on in combat sooner rather than discovering light attack weaving many eons later?

The single best way to replace light attack weaving would be to introduce a built-in timed input system tied directly to abilities, where each skill creates a short, visible timing window that rewards precise follow-up inputs with bonus damage, faster animations, or resource return. Instead of relying on animation canceling and inserting light attacks between every skill, players would focus on hitting these timing windows to “chain” abilities together efficiently, preserving the high skill ceiling while making the system more intuitive, consistent across different ping conditions, and free from addon dependence. This approach keeps the core idea of rewarding rhythm and mastery but turns it into something intentional and readable, rather than a hidden mechanic that players have to learn indirectly.

Incredible.

Everyone is aware of the imbalance but thinks it's normal and asks other players to be patient for two years.

I can't believe it.

So I guess you haven't noticed all the subclass builds that have been hitting like a truck for the past year? Because they're still around and still trashing the balance in PvP. Your focus on the DK seems to have conveniently missed that.

The changes are already in game and more are coming, so nobody is having to wait for two years! Though on the subject of patience, as a pure class PvP player I've been killed by the most stupidly OP subclass builds for about a year now. I'm still not screaming that subclassing should be nerfed or deleted. Nor am I complaining about DKs. I'm fighting DKs daily with the same pure builds and going by my logs, subclassers are still hitting insane numbers. From my perspective, the complaints about DKs are hilarious. I find them tough but they're absolutely killable. There is a degree of exaggeration in these PvP nerf threads that I can't always take seriously...

I am genuinely going to enjoy the upcoming "nerf wardens" chorus when my main gets updated though.

Theres a big diffence between sub classes and DKs, sub classes has the assasin/animal/storm that is overperforming(that we been screaming to be balanced for months allready) in pvp and thats really it, but is no where near what DK is doing at the moment so stop spreading misinformation. No subclass build could one shot you, and the skills are way to stacked and do to much, dosent matter if they give pure class skills becouse the DK could still one shot players. And whats the plan? Put every class in line with the dk so everyone can run around one shoting players like its an shoot’em up. It also putting players of the game, lots of guildes have left becouse of it, and cyro is only complains about it, and the game is emtyer than ever so it certenly didnt bring inn anymore players.

Steam charts show we've been mostly gaining players since January.

Also, it's up on the top selling games.



IDK about the PvP population, you may be right about it. But the current strategy seems to be working right now. Many seem to like the DK refresh and tomes if these are anything to by. I think Season 1 will be the real test though as the Chapter drop is traditionally when we get the most players.

Thats the ESO way, treat your players as mentally challenged and hope for the best.

Endeavors always felt like an attempt to keep players engaged in an era when content releases were--and were going to continue to be--inadequate in both quantity and quality. Tomes, and this one in particular, just feels like doubling down on that.

Agree with OP - I don't have an issue with the concept of weaving staying in game, my issue with weaving is that right now it looks like a glitch, something "that breaks the game" and not intentional; "animation canceling" is what needs to go away because, let me say it, is dumb, a bad design that makes the game look worse. Weaving, if done right, keeping animations unbroken, could be awesome. OP's idea is in the right direction.
