Sorcerer having to choose between Major Resolve or Major Prophecy
You need both Major Resolve and Major Prophecy in a proper build. Why make Sorc choose between one or the other?

Any chance we could change bound armaments to aoe 8m around its target? It would distinguish it more from bowproc, and add to sorc's cyclonic appeal

Balance what now?
This is so stupid. 3788 * 4 is 15152 vs 17556 and a heal and you can build to 10 stacks giving it more burst potential.
Do I need to say more?
Bound arms stacks fall off after 10 seconds, focus stacks don't because reasons. 1 skill is significantly better than the other one.
This is on the same character, side by side. What are we doing here?
Both skills were created for pure classes in mind, and comparing them 1 to 1 without any context is stupid (I would say was stupid 3 months ago but now with this brainless implementation of subclassing we don't have any context anymore, everything everywhere all at once and classes that were designed skill synergy between each other in mind remain unchanged with subclassing system that led to terrible outcome)
Nobody was using BA even before subclassing because, even taken holistically, it was such dogwater compared to Bowproc.
BA has always been the Poor Man's Bowproc.
Re: PTS Update 47 - Feedback Thread for Classes & Abilities Changes
It's honestly still so bewildering to me that you guys are still at the stage of "needing" to rework skills that have been in the game since launch (11 years ago!).
With all the random things you throw at the wall to see what sticks in regards to combat every 6 months it feels like we're still playing a game that's in beta.

Re: One shotting in PvP and PvP in general
Actually the opposite is true. The raise in damage was a very good change for PvP. Way to long tankmeta ruled, healing is overtuned, now we finally deal damage against that stuff.

Re: When will ZOS deal with the score boosting and or server clogging on GH NA/PC?
I’m not sure which issues are being referred to here. Would be good to explain exactly what is happening.
However I know on PCNA a well known AD player frequently has his alt logged onto EP. Then when the hammer spawns the alt grabs it, takes it directly to AD. Then this player’s main takes the hammer.
Adding insult to injury, this occurs later at night when AD already has a two bar advantage in population.
I have seen this probably 10 times.
Is this the sort of thing this post is referring to?

Re: When will ZOS deal with the score boosting and or server clogging on GH NA/PC?
Its hard to refer to specific examples on the forums without being suspended due to the naming and shaming rules which makes it really hard to discuss this type of topic.
In general I would agree with you that moderation within Cyrodiil is very lacking and focused in the wrong areas.
Personally i'd like to see an improvement in this area as it would encourage newer players to take part if they knew that they were less likely to be trolled and harassed which is unfortunately an off-putting factor in PVP for some.
It has also degraded the community (streamers and players quit due to it) to the point where the players who I can imagine you are referencing are a larger proportion of the ever dwindling player base which is why it feels more common place.
That being said, I also think that player behaviour of playing multiple characters is not an offense against TOS (only actively playing them at the same time using multiboxing keyboard/mouse control). Using these alt characters to boost or collude with enemy faction is also against TOS but very rarely upheld as support seems to not really understand the issue.
Good luck with your endeavour.

Re: Major Savagery & Prophecy on Merciless Resolve
What if I told you... Bowproc was always good and never needed the 400 Weapon Damage tacked-on to begin with.
Because that's the truth.

Re: Major Savagery & Prophecy on Merciless Resolve
If you want to buff a "pure" class you buff their weak skill lines.
Right now we absolutely should be nerfing the over powered skill lines like assassination and herald of the tome, while buffing the weak skill lines like dark magic and shadow.
you could literally take the 400 spell damage from grim focus and put it on shadow while the shade is active. Get rid of dark veil, extend the duration of the abilities it affected by 2 seconds, and make it a 6% weapon damage buff like the templar one and you're gold.
"pure" night blades are buffed, non nightblades can't take assassination and shadow, so they can't get both buffs, and you can't slot focus as a passive 5pc bonus.
it fixes the problem without negatively affecting nightblades. wins all around.
I'm not going to make suggestions for fixing dark magic though because the lines is garbage. it needs a complete overhaul. simply put a skill lines needs either good abilities or good passives. dark magic has neither.

Re: Do you think ZOS should rollback subclassing and focus on class balance instead?
I find this poll fascinating, really. These forums are ground zero for Subclassing complaints, as they don’t exist elsewhere… yet the data is showing that you guys are a vocal minority here too.
Even if you took all the free “Other” votes, it would still not be enough for “Yes” to outweigh “No”.
Well to be fair, the poll asks a provocative and unreasonable question. If it asked whether one is happy with subclassing, the results might be a bit more relevant to your point.
