    People fear the unknown. They need to relax and take a deep breath. There is certainly some big nerfs coming next patch, sustainwise especially. And there's some changes that seem upright stupid. But people need to wait and experience the changes before being all doom and gloomy.

    Anyone who can read can see how bad this will be in next patch, compounded by the reality that 90% of everything on PTS ever, goes live, regardless of feedback.

    Right now magicka builds tend to be way better than stamina ones. After this nefs/buffs we might see more diversity in PvP... Who knows...

    I actually almost have that CP setup on my stamblade for PVP. Works quite well.

    But I could imagine that you mean pve? And you are right in having some concerns in that regard. Im not opposing concern and critique of the changes, Im opposing all the unconstructive whining.

    You lose max stam doing that though. So you gotta put the rest of your points into tumbing or some *** like that.

    It's not just cp changes, a lot of ability costs were raised and all of the resource management abilities for classes were nerfed.

    In usual zos fashion, they identified a problem and then went completely overboard on the fix, which is just going to create a new problem in its place. They aren't capable of gradual changes

    It's not the nerfs I don't like. I just don't think they were even handed.

    Classes that rely on heals got nerfed more than classes that rely on shields.

    Existing classes get things removed from them because it's over performing yet the new class gets that ability.

    Resource management skills for a couple of classes nerfed on top of the general resource management nerf; while the class with the best management skill goes untouched.

    Underperforming class in NB who pretty much just had stam NB for ganking and not great anywhere else, now even the ganking is nerfed without addressing its shortcomings and leaving magicka still in a bad spot.

    Years of Templar losing defense (blazing shield hit by nerfs intended for hardened ward, blinding flashes removed, CC nerfed over the years) basically under the reasoning that they can heal better than other classes, now seeing that healing "balanced " with other classes without much in the way of where they had made sacrifices in the past.

    In general, all classes have worthless abilities and I don't see many attempts to make them relevant for being a big bslanve patch.

    No making 2h weapons count as 2pieces in a set.


    So not the nerfs. It's the uneven application without providing real improvements.

    People will have to actually run some sustain now and not run around in heavy with 600 regen.

    You was never mean't to be able to do that in the first place, i'm glad they actually fixed it.

    If you want to hit hard go medium and get 2k~ regen. You'll be more squishy but you'll sustain fine and hit hard still, thats the trade off thats been missing for a year.

    There is no question that ZOS is rocking the boat with these changes.

    However, when I read the patch notes, I agree that it is heading in the direction that ZOS seems to want to go, and that is towards combat where regen and sustain are not givens. Resources become something to think about, and they should be. So, I am not freaking out. Not even a little.

    I am starting to get lazy in this game. The combat, especially for veterans of the game, is really really easy. I am primarily a solo player, one that does not do MA, and I don't even feel the need to worship the Holy DPS Numbers. I just need enough resource to last the combat, and I rarely have problems with that.

    This update is going to change that. The combat will become more interesting, at least for a while.

    This happens with every major patch. People claim the sky is falling and their class now suxxorz and willl never be needed in a group again and they will be the sad little kid in the corner by themselves at recess.

    Then they come to see all classes had major changes and some things are more balanced and some are less, since complete balance is truly impossible, and they will come out of their deep dark holes and realize hey this actually isn't so bad and adjust to the changes.

    It's all estimations.

    Run the numbers on Live today and tell us the delta between the optimal builds for each class in each role using each resource, then get on PTS and run the delta numbers again with the optimal builds for each class (including Warden, if you are able). Tell us that the deltas are worse in Update 14. Show your work.

    My magic regen is 745 currently. I'm not in front of my console so I don't know exactly how much regen I'll lose but I'm thinking I'll settle in somewhere between 600 and 650. I'm totally going to try and get away with it. Haha.
