From todays pts notes: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/266069/

"Drain Magicka Poisons and Damage Magicka Poisons now increase the resource cost of Magicka abilities by 60%, up from 30%.

Drain Stamina Poisons and Damage Stamina Poisons now increase the resource cost of Stamina abilities by 60%, up from 30%."

This seems a little crazy to me.

Where is my reserve slice proxy det Gina promised?

Thoughts on how this will impact pvp?

    YUP, IMHO those poisons are wayyyy too powerful, should have remained at 30%..

    I'm always worried about meta shifts driving away the most dedicated players.

    60% is a game changer not a tweak.

    This seems a little crazy to me.

    I would say this is an understatement.

    I honestly don't know what they are trying to do with this. 30% was already a lot.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Pushing hard for players to jump neck deep into this DLC I see. No other reason to boost something new like this. Especially when everyone knows how PvP will receive it.

    I wonder if they think by giving players the ability to effectively slash each others resource pools that itll make the fights go faster (which just not that long ago they were trying to make last longer?).

    I don't get what you are complaining about. You can use them yourself as well, it's not like your abilities now magically cost 60% more in pvp without you being able to do something to counter it.

    WB is gonna cost you 3k stam if you ever get poisoned..
    Streak, Breath of Life, Purify, Shuffle... all those abilities that cost 3k magicka/stam will cost 5k+ instead if you get poisoned (which will be 90% of the time once everyone is geared)

    @Wrobel Balance . Poison =\= Antidotes

    Please PvP and Crafters at the same time .

    Anything else is > balance .

    Making players use abilities to remove poison is bad and will tilt the scales . Players already have ballista and oil to worry about . This will resource drain many classes already asking for a boost .

    I think poisons are necessary to stop 30+ minuet duels, lets just not break the game now...
    How long do poisons last last?
    Does purge do anything to them?

    I thought that the Snakeblood passive in the Alchemy skill line was going to reduce the damage/effect from poisons.. ???
