Balance is what makes the mettle of the player matter. Without balance, somebody can win a fight when they choose their class or equip their gear, rather than on the battlefield.Since Magicka is not equivalent to Stamina, the other morph is not equivalent, either. Stamina is far more important to a Magicka build than the inverse, since Stamina is what we use to roll dodge and break free, which are absolutely imperative to surviving PvP.Why only Dark Deal? Seems a little one sided considering the other morph restores the equivalent in magicka.
Sure, a Magicka Sorcerer can use Dark Conversion to keep attacking, but that's a little underwhelming compared to a Stamina Sorcerer who can use Dark Deal to keep attacking and roll dodging and breaking free.
Excepting that magicka is far more important for THIS PARTICULAR stamina class to keep crit surge up and our escape skill.
All in all this argument for nerfing DD always boils down to "with heavy armor and proc and blah and bleh and womp womp"
Dark Deal isn't the problem. Look to the things people are whining about that makes them think it is a problem.
Oh please. You cast surge once every half a minute ffs and streak is still a utility skill which u dont spam either. All the other stam builds are doing fine without streak so u can stop pretending that streak is the only thing that helps u escape. And yes the issue with dark deal is that with any heavy armor allows u to completely ignore sustain cause u get magicka back from constitution. So u tell me how u fix it. Do you make constitution useless and affect every other heavy armor build in the game or do u simply adjust dark deal to have some sort of risk involved with it like it was supposed to work in the first place. You know, maybe actually costing u magicka when its bashed. I mean after all u tried to cast it and u failed.
This is awesome. Heavy/Constitution is clearly the issue you folks have and want to nerf something else because of it.
Don't ruin other heavy armor users because it makes DD OP? How about don't ruin DD for non heavy users and adjust the actual issue. I don't run a heavy armor stam sorc and you want one of my resource skills nerfed because some do? That is asinine.

Because the other morph has some risk involved even if its not bashed. Thats the whole design behind the skill. Risk/reward. Draining ur stamina can get u killed if u are not careful. Draining ur magicka to fill up ur stam has absolutely no risk involved and u are free to spam it.
Really? Using all your magicka to spam DD leaves you with no ability to streak escape. That's a risk. Not being able to do anything but watch the animation of DD for its duration leaves you vulnerable to being DPSd down. That's a risk.
Not really its not. Not by a long shot. You cant possibly saying that a stam build that is out of magicka is the same as a magicka build without stamina. Thats just absurd. Magicka on stam builds is used for utility. Stamina on magicka build is used for surviving. You cant afford to be out of stamina and thats not really debatable especially on a magicka sorc that can be one shotted the second their shields drop. And that usually happens when u are CCed and cant break free. A stam sorc can use magicka however he feels. Whether its for dark deal, streak or surge. If u are out of magicka but full on stamina u are not going to die. There is no risk involved for a stam sorc casting dark deal cause they are not losing their magicka even if they are bashed. And getting bashed on a build as mobile as stam sorc isnt that easy. Im sure if there was actually a risk involved with casting it and they couldnt rely on it for sustain then they wouldnt run 600 regen on full dmg setups.
So, what I'm hearing is that Dark Deal isn't the problem, not being able to break free with magicka is.
No, what u are hearing is that draining ur stamina to fill up ur magicka is gonna get u killed. Thats why there is a risk involved with the other morph and thats why dark conversion and dark deal are not the same. Keep trying. You'll get it eventually.
Can you read? I never said they were the same. I said not being able to break free with your highest resource pool was the problem. Keep being a salty forum warrior, I'm sure your life will feel complete eventually.
Thats still dumb cause i never said that the problem is with dark conversion. I said the problem is that DD is OP and ur solution is to change something to bring dark conversion on par with DD?
So you actually don't have interest, you just PvE guy who complains every time when people talk about balance cause you don't know what it is but it forces you to...OMG Change Your Rotation And Gear, instead of just giving "relax play with never changed rotation and 100% learned mob spawns and timed mechanics".Sugaroverdose wrote: »what's your interest here?

Once PVP is gone, they can focus the resources on parts of the game that actually matter, and brings the majority of the paying audience.

If you are running medium armor then u should have better stamina sustain so u dont need to rely on dark deal. If you absolutely rely on DD to sustain ur stamina on a medium armor build then maybe u should change ur build. I mean other medium armor builds dont have DD. And i dont want it nerfed. I want it to work as intended. If you try to cast dark deal and u fail then it should cost you magicka. If u dont get bashed then it wont affect you.

Can't we just remove people like you?
You mean all these PVP crying threads wasnt just the attempt? The way PVP players have been acting in this thread, it is clear that they think that the entire game should be based for the 3%... and that they want all the PVE players to quit.
Your sense of entitlement is strong, but the justification for any is non-existent.
Zos, at the end of the day you will need to decide which audience pays you the most. It is clear that the two sides are not compatible, and until there is a clear division between the two, this game will always fall short.
Yet it's so easy to counter and can easily be used against them just by interrupting and throwing a little burst.
Wait... you mean I have to bash?! I quit.

I don't give a f about what whatever numbers you start dreaming of and what not. At the end of the day, I am not only better at PvP but also most likely vastly superior at PvE and I'll be laughing about toxic people like you trying to force people to only play how they themselves want.
How about you start accepting that elder scrolls online is not only PvE but also PvP? And that one part of the game has more balance issues due to its nature? Let people enjoy the game the way they want. Idiots trying to enforce their own playstyle (doesn't matter if PvP or PvE) are unneeded.
Try to get some understanding for each other. It helps a lot making the game more enjoyable.
The way I see it, it's more like two problems that compound each other. The way Dark Deal functions is that interrupting it refunds their Magicka, which means that you can only delay the skill instead of outright countering it. Constitution means that the only way to prevent someone from casting Dark Deal is by constantly spamming interrupts.EldritchPenguin wrote: »Balance changes are not some kind of slippery slope that leads to everyone fighting naked with sticks and no abilities.

My issue is people trying to nerf X when Y is the problem. DD is far from OP in itself, it just because spammable to a great extent because of constitution. That seems to be what every ones argument for this is.

Sure, Dark Deal spam wouldn't be possible on the same level without Constitution, but interrupting a skill shouldn't refund the resource used, not for Dark Deal and not for anything else.
My only issue with it is that most stam sorcs use it while under effect of shuffle or hurricane. Basically, they get half invisibility which makes me harder to notice them using their skills and react in split second

wow. then you need to turn the brightness on your monitor or tv up. that giant AOE is huge. yugggggge as trump would say.
To all you heavy armor wearing stam sorcs defending dark deal and saying its not OP, I ask you this: how much stamina regen are you running? I can bet for nearly all of you (and all the smart ones) that it is the absolute minimum regen possible. Why? B/c dark deal is the only sustain you need. How can you not take that as being OP? You don't have to worry about getting stamina regen from anywhere. If you are running ~600 stam regen and are sustaining fine from dark deal then how can you possibly come on here and say its not OP?

Why do stam sorcs run with the absolute minimum possible regen and put everything into dmg and still be able to sustain better than any other class?

For the same reason that NBs have better stealth and melee buffs, DKs have better defensive abilities, and templars have better healing:
Each class has a strength and weakness. Think about it in Rock - Paper - scissors, the stam sorc is the rock, and your build is the scissors equals you lose. Those with a 'paper' build made to take out stamsorcs will be killed more easily by the 'scissors' build. Proc sets are the universal level set: Anyone can kill anyone, as much as you may hate it: it is balanced.
This should be an easy concept to understand since most builds in Cyrodil are from youtube. The few players that understand and can conduct their OWN research, shouldn't always have to suffer for the clone army.
If they got rid of classes, then like in all the other Elder Scroll games, every char would be equal, as they would have equal access to all abilities, and it would boil down to simple choice.
Wait, i can already hear the crying: "But if they did that, we would all use the same build"
Sorry, too late for that. is there really a difference between a '1-build' mentality versus 4 '1-build's per class?
The problem is that this is a PVE game, and not PVP, so the inclusion of classes means that some will be weak in certain circumstances.
