This isn't about being able to steal builds, it's about being able to use addons to cheat.

Cheat? At housing?

Copying without permission is tacky for sure, but it's not cheating.

It is cheating if a player steals another player's build and passes it off as their own. Especially if they enter it in a contest.

1 hour overtime... still no update from ZOS :')

Putting aside the ethnical issues of AI as a piece of technology, it seems extremely dangerous to put it into an MMO as a companion. Virtual worlds are already a bit addictive by their very nature because it's a fantasy place. I don't think that having a "perfect" companion would be good for vulnerable customers mental health. I personally think it would likely be much more detrimental to a person's health than in something like an FPS because you wouldn't be forming "a relationship" with it in an fps. While an AI companion in an MMO would be purposefully mimicking a real relationship.

I think AI technology should probably especially stay out of virtual world games and dating sims. Seems really dangerous.

How about we buff other skills so there's more variety

They should add or rework some of the skills in the classes so they can add area damage options for classes. Some classes do not have anything for this purpose. Yes we can subclass into Arcanist beam but why not add more options?

This.

Rework spammables so they all have something desirable. For instance make some into dots so they can proc passives like Rapid Rot (which fatecarver was changed to direct damage as to not proc it).

Change the mechanical behavior so some do damage in a 6/8M radius cone (or a half moon) in front of the 'caster' rather than a line while others remain ST focused.

Instead of segregating the skill lines by 'intended use' like Arcanist give each skill line desirable skills for each (of the intended uses) thus making room for more 'spammables' to choose from.

Remove 'boring' passives (like 'make x skill last y seconds longer'), put enticing stuff there that makes the skill line appealing.

In summary, look at the matter as 'how we can have skills that synergize pleasingly in all three ranges (short, medium, long) of engagement and give a good balance of types of damage in a rotation with timers that are not constantly at odds with each other'.

There are so many ways to look at this conundrum besides the oh so popular 'I don't like this for x, y or z reason so I don't want you to have access to it'.

Do you mean beam (templar) or ‘read the book’ (arc)?

Whichever, please stop asking for nerfs. It’s tedious. Why not ask for other skills to be buffed instead?

I’m having fun using jabs on my Sorc, and the Nightblade invisibility has made all the tedious stealth quests much less tedious.

Ahh you need Zenimax translation app... "some players" = "all players" ...

So you only getting 2 shotted now in pvp because youre missing everything else
