Constructive feedback based on ESO live 「DK talks」@Wrobel

MaxwellC

I made a thread regarding my disappointment with what was said about the DK class during ESO live a couple of days ago but here I will try to go more in-depth on why I felt that way.

First. The let's talk about the elephant in the room and that's the lack of an execution in the upcoming DLC "Thieves guild" for DKs. @Wrobel you stated that a DK shouldn't have one because of your favorite word you like to say "Homogenize" and making the classes more Homogenize is something you don't want. Every class in this game has an Execute and your reasoning for why DKs shouldn't have one is completely unacceptable. You made an example that a DK should get an enemy below the 25% threshold then have allys execute but first thing that's wrong with that is what about Solo DK players in PvP or PvE? Who's gonna execute for them? I play solo in PvP all the time as it's a lot more fun than zerging with the Disastrous Covenant (most of the time), I'm a Stam DK so executioner is my bread n butter but what about my Magicka DK alt, how am I gonna execute when thieves guild comes out?

Secondly. You talk about how a stamina version for the whip will never come out for Dragonknights, I'm a bit torn with feeling ok but extremely confused as you feel two stamina morphs are enough for the Dragonknight class when there's a large population playing "Stam DK". Your solution to changing or adding more morphs was to make them do poison damage to scale with the passive changes and I for one disagree. There's a lot of flame DK stam builds out there, I'm not one of them but I'd rather not have a pointless DoT. What I want is a health debuff for 10 seconds at 30% (the most the least being 15%). This would make it viable for fighting those who cloak into a heal for crit healing, or healing temps who cc then heal up to full again and again. Note: I do like the thought of a blue flame for health debuff or you can make the skill more themed to Akatosh the dragon god.

Third. I'm glad you spoke about health percentage restore skills but you didn't exactly say Dragons blood but let's talk about that. Dragons blood in PvP and somewhat in PvE is pretty useless. First off it doesn't heal you for full just 33% of missing health isn't going to cut it in fights against high leveled mobs, either buff this skill or make it do a HoT where more magicka = more heal (like rally for magicka users).Dragon's blood in PvP is half of 33% so 16.5% I wish those who use that ability in PvP for healing good luck as you cannot survive with such healing. Dragon's blood regeneration stats e.g. increased health recovery or Green Dragon's blood increase stamina recovery NEED to stack or be changed so it'll work with potions; as of now potions overwrite Dragon's blood buff recovery or vise versa.

Fourth. You talked about adding more stamina morphs to classes in general but unfortunately those were slated for fourth quarter (Unacceptable IMO) and no details as to what would be added were released not even the slightest hint. Now I'm going to back peddle here to your comment about homogenizing classes is something you don't want to do but a example of you doing that in the past is the ability "Flames of Oblivion" this ability has been put in line with mage light actually it's worse then mage light when it comes to benefits. The changes to the PTS for Flames of Oblivion are nothing to be happy about as it's just the same thing accept for the ability being timed and the bonuses being active if on your skill bar (great improvement). Flames of Oblivion needs to go back to being an unique ability like it was a long time ago; the ability was something that truly made DKs UNIQUE in my opinion as no other class had an AoE DoT. It was balanced as it made you slow (correct me if I'm wrong it's been a while since I used that ability) but did consistent damage to nearby targets. @Wrobel I'm not sure what I gotta do maybe if I send you some roses today you'll consider this but please oh please bring this skill back to it's former glory, you've taken a lot from the DK class I'm sure it's not too much to ask to give something back.

Conclusion: Not trying to sound rude here @Wrobel but I feel you're almost completely if not entirely disconnected from the feedback you receive on forums. I don't believe you check forms but I made this just to see if I could somehow catch your eye on the forums. I say that you're disconnected from feedback on forums because there is a popular post called "The death of the DragonKnight" or something like that made by Jules, she gave what I felt to be the best constructive feedback for DKs to date. Unfortunately you did not heed her warnings when it came to an execute and decided to remove it entirely in this upcoming patch. This makes me believe if I were some popular youtuber with 20k+ subscribers making videos on ESO, you'd probably listen to what I have to say compared to someone who makes constructive feedback on the forums.

@Wrobel I doubt you'll see this post but I hope you do and pay attention to flames of oblivion, thanks in advance.
Note: For those who haven't seen the flames of oblivion skill in action.
