Prismatic Enchatments

Publius_Scipio

The new nirnhorned? Won't people just use these enchantments on all their gear? Yeah I am looking at your Sypher.

Will there be some rarity to obtaining or crafting these prismatic enchantments?

Sypher

Like they said, it was designed for hybrid. So ASSUMING Zenimax knows what they are doing and aren't completely clueless.

Example: Regular Enchant gives 600 Stamina.
Example: Prismatic Enchantment will gives 200 Stamina 200 Magicka 200 Health (or even 250 of each to give some added incentive to hybrid)

Don't see a reason of this for now. Like, you have 3 gear, each with different 600 enchant. In the end its the same 600/600/600 with prismatic 200+200+200/200+200+200/200+200+200.

Agree it's kind of pointless if the total isn't higher than a normal rune.

Enchanters are going to make a mint selling these to the PvE folks who refuse to buy IC dlc. I am curious as to the actual numbers though. I would love to be able to sprinkle some of these in...even though I would love it even more if they did nothing but make me sparkle.

It will have an effect, since not every piece gives you the 100% value of the enchant, ie.think BP versus boots.

Hybrid? good joke, that stuff died with the CP system

Helm, chest, trousers = 3 parts giving full enchant. Rest 4 parts giving equal nerfed enchant and numbers are really low, you can enchant each of 3 parts with different ench and last 4th part with prismatic, just no difference. In the end without uncresed prismatic numbers it just useless.

The only place where Hybrid builds are viable is in Non-Vet campaign with battle leveling... and your enchantments don't even work in there.

If the enchantments were 2 stats instead of 3 I'd be able to make use of them. The only thing I can think of is builds that go off % of pools such as a sap tank with large max stamina to get more resources or a magicka DK with large stamina pool to get more stamina from earthen heart abilities, but even that probably wouldn't work.

That's pretty much what i expect, more raw stats given, but spread out over all 3 instead of being focused on one. One useful for hybrids, other for specialized builds.

Lava_Croft

Don't think these enchantments are going to do anything about the fact that hybrid builds are sub-par since 1.6. Certainly not when everybody has to stack even more damage in order to kill stuff in 1.7.

dennissomb16_ESO

I think it will appeal to people who are newer to Cyrodiil and especially those whodo not have any sort of finished gear sets. It will give them a chance to do a little bit more. The top PvPers as is right now will likely continue to min/max when it comes to stats

DDuke

Health+Stamina or Magicka could be fine, if that enchantment had slightly higher value.

Three stats however is likely going to be suboptimal for most competitive builds, since you're using only one resource for heals, shields and/or damage.

ToRelax

If it will be as strong as the regular enchants it's not worth anything.
If the total in resources is higher, and the difference big enough, I may go for drinks and put those enchantments on all my pieces. However, who can say just yet what our builds will truly need before we even know what the new set bonuses will be like.

hybrids died a long time ago, new enchantments aren't going to change anything. If Zos wanted hybrids to exist they wouldn't have removed softcaps...

With soft-caps removal.
(And even then most hybrids were worthless.)
