PTS Patch Notes v3.0.3

Nifty2g

Nerfs burning spellweave (Base game set), Buffs war maiden (DLC Set). Wonder what nightblades or templars will use now.

Love the change to sorcs. 1.2 sec cast on dark conversion instead of 1 sec? Man this is gonna be a HUGE challenge for my sorc to overcome. Thankfully my 4500 spell damage and 2k mag regeneration should be able to compensate for it rofl

CTSCold

Still no ranged CC for bow. And no change to passives. Auto fire won't make it competitive. Easier maybe but not competitive.

P2W!!

Erock25

Burning Spell Weave nerfed. Pirate Skeleton for sorcs nerfed. Dark Deal nerfed. Alrighty then.

Kihamai

Nice to see a damage increase to Twisting Path, but I would really like to see another change to Siphoning Strikes and its morphs.

Removing or greatly reducing the cost will really help this skill out. Right now it's still pretty much useless.

Isbilen

Due to the reduction of sneak attack damage against other player characters, it is no longer necessary for Radiant Magelight to reduce their damage further.

Proceeds to take 30K Onslaught hit from an invisible player

Fix potion speed glyphs please. I keep hearing this will be fixed in an upcoming patch but have yet to see anything in patch notes about this.

• Heavy Attacks now automatically fire when they are fully charged.
  Developer Comment:
  Fully-charged Heavy Attacks will be more important with the resource changes coming in this update, so we want to make sure there are no gameplay barriers to using them.

Because no one knows how to let go of a button - lol.

LeoSzilard

In general, loving the changes.

getemshauna

Burning spellweave nerfed - The only set that could help race sorcs in dps by other classes. Necro untouched. Sorcs' crystal nerf doesn't count now. Gap between Sorcs and rest of classes has been increased even more.

Turelus

Dark Anchors
Standing still while in combat with a Dark Anchor now causes an an extraplanar charge to gradually accumulate at your location. A charge that has built to critical levels explodes, damaging those who contributed to its growth and significantly reducing their health recovery.

This solves nothing on PC FYI.

New macro
1. Left Mouse Button Down
2. A 2 sec
3. D 2 sec
4. Repeat 2 & 3.

Sorry but making silly mechanics to try and get around what should be paid GM staff work isn't going to solve every issue.

Nightblade

• Shadow
  • Twisting Path (Path of Darkness morph): Increased the damage of this morph by approximately 11%.

so you buff the path instead of just fixing the bug that it doesnt scale with thauma? Both will be nice i mean no problem with that ~33% damage buff then

Vanzeii

The only thing I found nice when reading this was the change to pirate skeleton.

Woeler

Looks good.

t3hdubzy

I do like the radiant magelight change.... too bad 50 things still reveal you from stealth.

Also the added damage to cleave is cool.

Bow im undecided on since i enjoyed being able to hold it back and wait for the right moment... but not too bad as ill be more accurate with timing my heavy attacks when weaving.

Bsw is a bit of a knee jerker since i just finally got that set last month. Will definitely be replacing it with another set, either sun, or spider cultist most likely after reviewing some numbers.

YOU TOUCHED BURNING SPELLWEAVE? HAVE YOU NO HEART?

Great changes all around. For another week, to all the peasant non sorc players who are gonna keep crying for nerfs: suck it.

GallantGuardian

So is luminous shards not going to give the caster back resources now?... are we going to have to use orbs for this?...

casparian

You forgot Siphoning Strikes. Before 3.0, every class could regain stamina by spending something other than stamina; after 3.0, every class except Nightblades can do so. This functionality is very important in PVP and is utilized by all classes and builds. Please don't let this patch go live without at least explaining why Nightblades should be the only class without this functionality.

Nice changes to Twisting Path and Carve! Very excited to try those out now.

spiiros

That's it? Oh my... gosh.

imenace

LMFAO at the heavy bow change ? are you *** kidding me? how is this even possible? these *** devs are a joke, this will make ganking near impossible lmfao

bUxx222

and another nerf for "diversity"

RIP spellweave ...

• Mages Guild
  • Radiant Magelight (Magelight morph):
    • This morph no longer passively reduces your damage taken by sneak attacks. It continues to passively prevent the stun from sneak attacks.

I remember some people were telling me i just refuse to add proper ganking protection to my build:)

And here we are

spiiros

Buff an upcoming DLC set and nerf BSW, lmao. Still nothing on DK too.

Familiar still OP, good changes though, but the familiar needs a nerf, this is still ESO (Elder Sorcs Online) in PvE.
