ACTUALLY it would be nice if points into Magicka/Stamina/Health game more of a boon for putting points into the pool, like points in Stamina increasing Weapon Damage(if it does I have NO idea).
A person with 50 points in Stamina SHOULD be different than a person with 50 points in Health and slots Stamina enchantments.
Agree with you on this point.1 -
Lyall84✭✭✭✭Raise Armor caps so that heavy is not punished for making blue armor....
Raise Armor 10% it should give more then Leather lol....
Heavy needs blocking increased to 30 at the min..... Blocking and taunting is crazy with more then 3 mobs are on you... taunt damage can be reduced to make this more fair....
Scrap health reduction or do something with it ... its next to worthless.... I would rather have bonus health with the health cap increased again ...Maybe a bonus to healing ..... Maybe a smaller endo regen or something
Change Immovable so that you have to have 2-5 pieces of heavy armor on....
On medium I think it is fine maybe a 10% damage bonus thrown in there also... keep in mind these guys are going to be weak to magic damage....
All the armor abilities should require at lease 4/7 of their respective armor type. 5/7 would follow the preset set patterns.
Edit: noticed I typed class instead of armor. Oops.Edited by Lyall84 on June 20, 2014 11:10PM0 -

✭While your anger is understandable, you need to realize stamina users don't use stamina for just attacking, but also for defending, while magicka users only use magicka for attacking
Similarly, Stamina users can use their whole magicka pool for buffs, debuffs, utility and heals, and they do not impact their ability to attack when doing so.
I agree that things are currently imbalanced toward magicka builds, but the dynamic you describe does apply to everyone in some respect ;0

So you pay more than a stamina user for blocking/dodging/breakingcc? Do you mitigate less while blocking for using a wood stick to do it?
What about you start using circle of protection or immovable? Those are buffs based on stamina, so save the bs about the buffs being magicka and stamina being for block as if you couldnt use stamina for buffs as well.
And, breaking news, you will pay the same cost as stamina users for it (worth it, but does not work the other way) as they dont have any stamina cost reduction passive..
Seriously, these changes by ZOS make it clear they have absolutely no clue about how to handle the stamina issue.
If they think a few pewpew 10% damage buff to some skills (and the most buffed being an arrow skill rofl) is gonna make it worth, they are dead wrong.
Of course, heavy (the [snip] of all three armors right now) get absolutely ZERO.

To a degree I see your point. In my suicidal stubbornness to continue playing as a 'warrior' rather than a mage with a sword, even I have a slot on my bar for GDB.
But that's also part of the point about magicka builds - you get all that nice defense without needing you use any bar slots for it. i know, I'm running another DK with the inevitable dress&stick and nothing but class abilities slotted and she's far far more powerful, and tougher, than by S&S medium armour warrior could ever hope to be. Simply because I don't even have to think about dodging or blocking or CC breaking, I do it with zero impact to my offense and with pretty much no regard to the stamina bar, as I know its got no other pressures. And its easier, all just a mouse click away without having to swap one bar ability for another every other pack of mobs because there's a caster or an archer or not.

What you just described is a hybrid build. Although... without enchantments and food for magicka, my VR2 nightblade can barely cast 3 stealths in a fight (without Siphoning Strikes active, which eat up 25% dps in return). And that's just because there are not enough stamina abilities, since ALL class abilities are for some mad reason magicka ones. I'd love if they made assassination and shadow lines scale with and use stamina, and just siphoning (as a "spell" line) use magicka.While your anger is understandable, you need to realize stamina users don't use stamina for just attacking, but also for defending, while magicka users only use magicka for attacking

It would be better to just make their DoTs tick in half the time (making them tick every 0.5 sec doing the same damage over half time), or just getting rid of the DoT completely (till you implement DoT stacking) and just add all (or most) of that damage to the instant part.
Also, what melee (2h, DW, 1h+S) need is adding a PARRY chance while they swing weapons - while weapon animation is playing, you have 50% chance to parry (ignore damage) of weapon hits on you. That would make up for not being able to use block.
Without that, they are pretty much killed within a Heavy weapon attack in VR difficulty (as you generally receive 2-6 "light" hits from mobs for 350+ damage till you finish your attack, or worse, get a single ability that instakills you because you didn't block/avoid it), just because VR mobs hit that hard even on armor capped people.
Otherwise, I'm screaming of joy, with changes to Snipe and medium armor, maybe Archer will become a playable spec (not necessarily viable, but maybe at least playable)
You do understand they added cost reduction into medium armor on top of the cost reduction from the weapon itself.
Do you not understand that there are class magicka cost reductions on top of the light armor ones?0 -

Master armor?
The heavy armor?
Dont make me cry dude, or I am gonna pwn you to death with my 1% extra incoming heal per piece, my ubber 1% extra weapon damage only for melee attacks or my ultraoverpowered +3%base armor/sr when Im capping armor with only 50 white heavy gear (so yes, its indeed much less than it because the stupid softcap being so low).
Not like they could add real useful values like raw mitigation (well, we are the only ones getting one of our passives added over a already reached softcap no matter what we do), critical damage reduction, cc resistance (less time cced) or cc break cost?
master armor, [snip]...

The 5m less range is really not that much, i also like that the minimum range was reduced many times i would find my target had gotten to close to me when i started the snipe timer.
Changing the timer to to seconds from 3 basically means you can do roughly 33% more damage over time on long range targets with snipe0 -

Kewljag_66_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Still quite bad for Nightblades.
In PvP you mostly use Magicka skills (Suprise attack/Concealed, Cloak and Impale)
In PvE, if your a melee ST nigthblade, you use maybe one more stamina based skill.
So this will mainly affect bow Nigthblades.
Melee nigthblades still needs alot of tweaking of its class skills.
As proven in other topics, Nightblade class skills does less dmg, sometimes only half the dmg, of other comparable weapon skills, like Suprise attack vs Cleave.
Surpise attack then Flurry is a deadly combo. Remeber surpise attack debuffs armor by 40% for flurry.
You open with teleport strike /suprise attack, then you fight with flurrys utill you finish off with impale. the resource managment stays about even for both. in some cases u actually run out of stamina 1st. for me anyways. I really like teh changes.0 -
Lyall84✭✭✭✭IMO heavy armor should make cc break cheaper as well as blocking (put it in the same passive.) that would got a long way.
Are you talking as tank or other build?
For blocking, there are rings and enchants that takes care of this.
Blocking work very well. What you have to control is not to keep block up....but to time the block on the attack. Or even better, interupt and stun the incoming attack.
CC break cheaper? Mind explain? Not sure what you mean
It takes like 30% stamina, regardless of max. So it really beats up stamina builds vs magicka. If it was a set amount, like 400, it would not be as rough for people that have 1500 or more stamina.0 -
Kewljag_66_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Sorry to say, but this is a JOKE.
You buff medium armor (Im ok, they lack sta cost red) but make no change to heavy?
Buffing a few sta skills for 10% damage is what you think will fix this unbalanced mechanics?
Very disappointed.
They already said they were working on heavy armor and Werewolves. And it says this is on the first of more to come.Edited by Kewljag_66_ESO on June 20, 2014 10:35PM2 -

They should've left the max range, that is essentially a pvp nerf. And none of these changes address the damage differences.

blocking is extremely expensive maybe a dk tank that never uses stamina doesn't worry about it, but it cost about 300stamina to block an attack. if your sitting on a pool of 1200-500 that a big chunk.
CC breaker is when you hold left and hit right and hold. It breaks you out of cc's and stuns have to have as a melee class cost about 600 stamina to use.
30%, changes as you raise max. So cheaper for magicka builds of you look at actual cost number vs%.0 -

I was thinking about a 1% Magicka/Stamina cost reduction per item but didn't know what it should be added to or replace.
Restores X% Magicka and Y% Stamina on a successful block. Can only occur once every Z seconds. Requires 5 or more heavy armor pieces.1 -

Snipe suffers from the ultimate cap in this game, the pvp balance cap. You shall never one shot your opponent in pvp. As long as this rule is on and they cannot find a way to disengage skills from their pvp dmg (like adding protection passives in a tree against certain attacks), snipe (and a lot of other skills) will remain useless.

nudel✭✭✭✭✭david.haypreub18_ESO wrote: »Also, am I the only one who would prefer to still have the range on Snipe? The cast time doesn't seem to me to be the issue.
The snipe changes are a good change. Only 5m were snipped off the maximum range and 10m were added to the minimum. So you get more space to let it rip even while mobs are charging you. Before it could essentially be interrupted just by walking closer to the archer. Furthermore the cast time reduction is a good buff to nightblade archers. You could probably now use Shadow Cloak and release Snipe from it amid combat, whereas the cast time used to be longer than your invisibility. This means Snipe can be more than just an opener.0 -
Lyall84✭✭✭✭While your anger is understandable, you need to realize stamina users don't use stamina for just attacking, but also for defending, while magicka users only use magicka for attacking
Similarly, Stamina users can use their whole magicka pool for buffs, debuffs, utility and heals, and they do not impact their ability to attack when doing so.
I agree that things are currently imbalanced toward magicka builds, but the dynamic you describe does apply to everyone in some respect ;0
Really, if we put utility skills, shield skills, or heals on our bars, where is the room for our stamina abilities?
Magicka users still have access to block, roll CC break without losing bar slots.Edited by Lyall84 on June 20, 2014 10:53PM2 -

OkieDokie✭✭✭Great news, thanks Jessica.
I think the biggest problem is/was in the fact that you use stamina for utility (run, block, etc) and therefore you can be short in resources when you use it for damage. This cost reduction will help a lot.
Now we have to wait and see how it goes.
And for all the guys claiming for higher damage, don't hate me when I say that, but I'm pretty sure weapon damage is not supposed to be higher than class skills. So, yeah, better resource management is probably the best you can get at this point (all those damage increases are already a bonus).People keep saying they heard of a friend of friend of friend of their neighbors that plays a NB and can catch up with dks and sorcs and this guy just never shows up. He would be a rock star if he existed.0 -

I said if they added both stamina and magicka regen to heavy armor it would be the master armor. Not that it is now. The point of heavy is that you can survive long enough to recover without the boosted regen.
I will agree with you that the current passives may need boosting, but not added regen.0 -
