How will the patch affect solo players and group players (but especially solo players).

So the patch has pretty much screw3d everyone but how badly does it affect group players and solo player? Can someone explain this please with normal speech and no acronyms? I'm guessing solo players are a complete write-off and consigned to history?

✭✭Nah I wouldn't say so, I think group players are more effected because group requires more resources to keep everyone buffed ad happy, while solo you just worry about yourself.Toon list:
PC NA:
Chip Ahoy: Magicka Templar khajiit WW healer and crafter of metals, clothes, leather and wood
Rose Scale: Magicka Nightblade argonian WW DPS and 'evil' toon (steals stuff from barrels)
Snip Ahoy: Stamina Dragonknight khajiit WW tank
Walks-Through-Corn: Magicka Templar argonian Vampire tank and also cooks food
Snowy Kitten: Magicka Sorcerer khajiit WW healer and also makes glyphs
Valerie Ahoy: Stamina Nightblade khajiit WW DPS/tank
Mixes-With-Mud: Stamina Warden khajiit WW DPS and also mixes potions
Tyrenan: Magicka Warden khajiit healer
Always-Brings-Light: Magicka Dragonknight argonian WW DPS
Howls-At-Moons: Stamina Warden argonian WW healer
Giggles-At-Everything: Stamina Sorc argonian WW DPS
Hugger-Of-Griffons: Stamina DK argonian WW poison focused DPS and ring/necklace crafter.
Wishlist from ZOS: Chestnut Unicorn mount and the Lilmothiit race, would definitely pay 10K crowns or even 20K crowns for it. -

✭✭✭Solo playing through open world already takes about 3 light attacks per mob. Since light attacks don't take resources, that should be fine. Stuff like soloing vet dungeons and doing vMA, well, that might be a bit more challenging. Or not a bit. Has anyone done vMA on pts?
Group players...things are looking...different for them. Between individual resource management nerfed and group resouce management tools nerfed...We'll have to adapt and see I suppose. I imagine bis builds will change and meta shift a bit, but not entirely sure where. Heavy attack builds will probably be king for group dps and I'm not sure that's a meta I want tbh. -

✭My real concern is veteran maestorm arena.Sorcerna, proud beta sorc.
RIP April 2014 to May 31 2016 DArk Brotherhood. Out of retirement for negates and encases.
Sorcerna will be going back into retirement to be my main crafter Fall 2018. Beacuse a 8 k shield is f ing useless.
Died because of baddies on the forum. Too much qq too little pew pew.
16 AD 2 DC. 0 EP cause they bad, CP 1600 plus 16 level 50 toons.

#SORCLIVESMATTER actually they don’t or they wouldn’t keep getting nerfed constantly. -

✭✭✭✭✭From a soloer's point of view, if you don't do high-end competitive content then I wouldn't worry about it. Changes happen all the time, and most players just roll with the punches and adapt - although in many cases they simply don't notice the changes in the first place! That's one of the advantages for those players who just play the game and take no notice of all the drama going on outside it
!
I can't speak for grouping, as it's not my scene beyond informal co-operative play.
More seriously, your premise is false to start with, there's no evidence that the patch has "pretty much screwed everyone". For starters it's only at the beginning of a two months stint on PTS so there's plenty of time for further adjustments and the way to achieve those will be through constructive feedback on the PTS rather than through wild ranting on the forum or self-interested streaming from self-important players on Youtube.
