Am I The Only Player Experiencing This?!

xnhiddentruthx

Okay so over the past month my character now takes more physical damage, my spells are weaker, and my ultimate's are even weaker than my spells! I'm getting my butt handed to me by enemies 1-2 levels lower than me as well. I have a decent build with decent armor.... I mean am I the only sorcerer that is experiencing this? I've reported it to Customer Service and they only tell me to relog... But this has been going on for a month. I'm literally getting fed up with this game.

My character is a Vet4 Breton Vampire Sorcerer (who takes minimal fire damage thanks to fire resistance accessories and champ points). I have 4 light armor and 1 heavy armor. All my armor is blue and up. I use buffs, and I'm always forced to heal against enemies lower level than I am. I've been Vet for 2 months (I don't have time to always play), so I know it's nothing to do with being Vet. Been vampire since level 37, so I know it's not that... I don't get it. My devouring swarm doesn't even scratch enemies anymore and I heal way less with it. Wtf?

Anyone else having this happen?

Are you console or PC?
If PC have you tried doing a repair from the launcher?

Alucardo

No, not really. Since the battle levelling update I'm more powerful than ever. What are your stats?

You are only using 5 pieces of armor?

Could be the problem right there xD

I'm on PS4.

Max Magic: 16347 Magic Recovery: 705
Max Health: 12332 Health Recovery: 488
Max Stam: 8822 Stam Recovery: 565

Spell/Weapon Damage: 904
Spell/Weapon Crit: 10%
Spell Resist: 12148 (Only fire damage doesn't do much, Ice damage is worse)
Physical Resist: 7720

Dark Magic, Storm Calling, Destruction and healing staff, Light Armor, Vampire, and Breton Passive skills are all maxed.

I have a V4 Inferno Staff of Flame dealing around 870 (+242fire)damage. All my armor is V3 and up. most with added magic, 2 with health. I also have Fire resistance at 1292 (about to upgrade in a minute), and 234 health recovery rings and increased health on them as well.

Maybe I'm now doing something wrong...... Hmmm

Alucardo

Wtf, my level 32 sorc has 2360 spell damage and 31k magicka. You're definitely missing something

Alucardo

Can you list the armour pieces you're wearing, mundus, attributes please?

xnhiddentruthx

I'm sorry I have 7 pieces of armor. 4 light, 3 heavy. Probably should go with more light?

Even still, those stats are extremely low. I could get more than you have using 7 pieces of heavy

Furor

Spell/Weapon Damage: 904
Spell/Weapon Crit: 10%

These are way to low...

Dark Magic, Storm Calling, Destruction and healing staff, Light Armor, Vampire, and Breton Passive skills are all maxed.

10% crit is the "base" and the fact that you have the "light armor passives" something tells me all of your gear is broken...

Got Battle Leveling on? on options, turn that on outside of PvP, if this is PvP you're talking about of course...

I know how frustrating it is though, especially if you're not one to keep up with the updates and changes, to then prepare and adapt to it (since you say you're usually busy) but yeah, I assume you mean PvP and if not, then I don't know.. are you repairing your armor?

Just go for 5 Light and put skill points in the Light Armor passives so you get an increase in damage and then 2 heavy, if you don't have the undaunted passives of course

Is that in Cyrodiil/Wrothgar?
And which sets are you using?

Yeah, you should wear 5 pieces of light armor for the passives. Most people choose 5 light/1 medium/1 heavy for undaunted mettle passive which gives 6% to all stats.

Wrothgar isn't out for us console plebs yet, so it must be Cyrodiil or out in the world.

Yep, anywhere the battle levelling exists. Using Law of Julianos (5pc), Magnus (2pc), Torug's pact (2pc swords)

Well, in this case its not correct to compare your scaled stats to his non-scaled
But its good to see that battle leveling actually helps now... In 1.6 it would just reduce the magicka pool and inflate hp XD

Callous2208

@Furor said it and I'm curious to see if op checked that as well. Is your gear broken? You're basically not wearing anything in that slot when it is broken. Those stats seem really, really low.

Ah good point, I was on the assumption he was in PvP. They are still pretty bad stats nonetheless.
Yeah the battle levelling is now like being a mini vr15. So it's possible for us to really customise our builds to get the most out of it. Hybrids builds are now dead.. for example, my stam nb can cloak a maximum of 3 times before running dry on magicka, instead of 20 xD
It's good, but stam builds are dominating pretty hard in non-vet, because the magicka guys are too low to skill any useful wards. One quick burst = dead.

If your armor really is broke, then I'm sorry but this will turn out to be like... the cutest topic ever.

And it's not like it hasn't happened to everyone, right? RIGHT? I'm going to be brave and admit to it.

I'm a veteran player and it happened to me on my main yesterday while finishing the group event in old orsinium. Only thing that made me stop and check was that my stam regen seemed to be really low. Yea, pretty much did the group event solo in pants and a hat, no wonder I was getting smacked so hard.

Happened to me at VR2 doing Cadwell's. I was raging so hard at my lack of sustainability and mitigation I switched everything off and curled up on my bed in the fetal position.

Mundus is The Mage.

I just went through buying all new armor.

I've got everything V4 Ironthread blue armor right now. Everything was V3-4 armor before, light blue and up. I had max magicka on all of them. I had Increase Mundus stone effects with Sturdy Traits. All basic armor that I tried to make better.

Did you really call customer service because you are getting killed ..

xnhiddentruthx

I also have battle leveling on and I get owned on PVP against level 20 players............... Not including fire damage.

I messaged them because this hasn't been happening a month ago where lower level monsters basically destroy me because my Devouring Swarm won't even touch their health anymore nor heal me. So yes, I did.

Silly question but when your skill and attirbute points got reset did you go in and reassign all your attrib points?

Your stats seem VERY off

Good question..

@xnhiddentruthx you know the top 3 skill lines for your class? highly recommended to put skill points in to all of the passives there, helps a ton. Anyway I'm off to sleep so good luck !

I have them all maxed except in Daedric Summoning. All I have in that one is Power Stone for reducing cost of Ultimate.
