Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
If Gray Host and Vengeance are going to be the only PvP Cyrodiil zones going forward, at least that's what I think I heard, how about turning one of those others you intend to close into a PvE zone instead? @ZOS_Kevin
Re: Class Masteries, Sorcerer perspective
Sorc is and was never a mess in the 12 years this game is live, Sorc players are just overtly dramatic lmao.
Compared to several other classes the Sorc class masteries are actually good to great, I really have no idea where these complaints come from.

Re: Class Masteries, Sorcerer perspective
Just so yall know, sorc is hitting 10k weapon and spell damage, and 178k parses atm. So definitely not as doom and gloom as it might seem

Re: Suggestion: When difficulty tiers go live, world bosses should be nerfed on the lowest tier
I recently made a point that I can solo DLC bosses today but even before Challenge Difficulty they are on another level compared to base game bosses, and if I'll put Challenge Difficulty on level 2 to raise the bar for base game bosses that I find boring, said level 2 will likely make DLC bosses impossible to solo, and I'll have to swap between Challenge Difficulty 1 and 2 any time I travel to different zones - this would be annoying. So: either raise base game bosses to DLC difficulty (which many seem to disagree with) or lower DLC bosses to base game difficulty BEFORE implementing Challenge Difficulty.
Should Female Werewolves Have Small Chest Bumps?
Not sure how acceptable this might be, but I'm curious regardless, now that most of us have seen the new female werewolf model. Which is mostly, shorter snout, longer tail, fur bra, and more fur on the back/shoulders, while possibly a slimmer stomach.
Would you prefer if the female had small chest bumps, or breasts? Nothing massive, but just to show some human femininity. As it stands, we have the fur bra, which I understand to a degree... except for the fact it has no real purpose, and isn't actually DOING anything there because there's nothing to mask.
I don't play female werewolves that much, but as a woman IRL, I'd be totally fine with seeing small chest bumps there to reflect that, yes this is a woman. It's a natural part of the human body, and werewolves are part human after all. Yes, I know female IRL wolves aren't that different visually from male, but werewolves aren't just wolves, there's a human aspect there too.
Did my best to keep the poll options simple and not worded in a way that feels biased or offputting.

Re: Class Masteries, Sorcerer perspective
I did some testing yesterday as well (hi Tannus!), hit 178k on the dummy with Perfected Slivers of the Null Arca, Monolith of Storms, Huntsman's Warmask, and a no pet skill setup matching Tannus', but with rapid strikes and dual wield instead of force pulse and lightning staff (and points into stamina).
(No there is no reason to wear an extra light piece with magicka enchant unless you're just a little dumb, like me sometimes...
With regards to the class masteries and balance update for Sorcerer, here is my feedback:
I think Sorcerer dummy parses are currently being inflated due to a couple of main factors that will not be nearly as relevant when playing actual content:
1. Monolith of Storms -- this set is straight up best in slot for Sorcerer dummy parsing. However, in content, some of the monolith spawns can be problematic, which takes away some of the power of the set. BUT, this is not as penalizing nor does it feel as bad as before now that there is the bonus weapon/spell damage per monolith to fall back on. This is such a great set design, I really hope it makes it to live in this current state. It feeds Sorcerer's lightning mage identity and provides an exceptionally solid shock item set, of which there are exceptionally few in game (basically one other - storm-cursed's revenge).
2. Static Reverberation -- this gets inflated on dummy parses where rapid strikes and bound armaments are used. While rapid strikes is great in pure single target scenarios, such as a dummy parse, in reality you would be much more likely to see a setup similar to what Tannus15 posted above in content, or possibly one utilizing traveling knife with multi-target and class mastery scripts.
(Speaking of class masteries, can we please get the permanent pet change added to Sorcerer's so we can use storm atronach? Thanks!)
In my opinion, I think Sorcerer is overall in a pretty good spot as a pure DD if the "push to live" button were hit today. It feels like it's pretty balanced when you take into account the two main factors above. Ideally, I think there would be some cleave added to the kit to help boost Sorcerer performance in boss fights to be more competitive with Dragonknight, Arcanist, and Templar and their subclassed setups, but if the single target focus is to remain, then I think this is good enough to hold us Sorcerer mains over until Update 52.
I would like to see the Sphere of Influence passive adjusted to something else, ideally something more group buff oriented. As it stands, this simply does not move the needle for supports who would play the Sorcerer pure class compared to a subclassing setup. Even as a tank, which I think is in a better spot compared to healer, this doesn't really provide any compelling evidence to say "Yeah, I'd like to bring my Sorcerer tank to group instead of my subclassed setup."

Re: Race feedback
Just give races non-combat passives, like faster swimming or leveling certain skill line more quickly. Then add three “combat training” (Like the slottable CP) passives that you can choose from, which do affect combat. This way, you can pick any race you want without worrying about whether your choice is meta.
