My Sweeps seem to do less dmg and tool tip is a bit weaker saw that they changed stats or fixed it, but does Zenimax just want to nerf magika builds am I crazy or is Zenimax really doing this?

    Yeah..

    ZOS will not be happy until we are all running around as DK clones..

    Its been this way since beta I think lol..

    And I hope all of these changes and scare threads about nerfs on magika is a mistake..

    Because I for one will be taking yet another long break from this game.

    Magika is already nerfed into the ground.

    If anything Magika is in need of buffing in relation to stam builds right now..
    I do not want to ask for Stam nerfs... Simply raise Magika back up to at least survivable levels compared to stam and I would be happy.

    Anything useful that players are wanting added into the game all fall under the category of "Yer ruinin my 'mersion!" Sallington

    I agree

    Thats not right, its much easier to put out good dps with magika builds. But i agree with you that some stam builds can make op dps, but that depends on vma dw and bow weapons and a good rota. Not many players have this or abble to manage the rota.
    PVP Saint-Bud magicka Templar: AR 49
    PVE Lord Victarion mDK : dro'm-Athra-Destroyer pre Morrowind retired for crafting
    PVE Ramsay-Bolton magicka NB: Voice of Reason Clockwork City Patch retired
    VAA hm/ VHRC hm/ VSO hm/ VMOL hm/ VHOF hm/ VAS hm clear

    Stop playing PVE because its boring, content not disigned for melee players and class balance and sustain is ***

    You do less damage but it still heals you right? So enemies take a bit longer to kill, they could have reduced the healing as well- so be thankful for what you have, not dwell on what you don't. ;)

    Good point. They also could have made sweeps crash you desktop. But they didnt. So again, be thankful.

    Ah... doom and gloom... we see the same thing every update and yet, three months later, the same people are here with the same complaints. All the, "players are leaving"... and here we are... new players come in, don't realize things were ever any different, and enjoy the game. Players who cannot adapt because for them change is impossible, they leave, but the majority just L2P with whatever changes come along.

    "Seems" to be less or is "actually less"? More details are needed to see what the issue is in your case.

    In my case sweeps damage actually went up a little bit from the 30 extra CPs.

    As a Templar you should expect the creeping stealth nerfs every patch. This has been a tradition since day #1.
