• 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

The ability scales with Master at Arms, so it doesn't need to scale with Thaum.

So, given the MS/Sony approval process timelines, and the hard copy that still needs to be produced, is this the version they go gold with? (Barring day 1 patches of course.)

MotokoKusanagi34

They totally listen to your feedback.





And do the opposite.

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

Bro... DKs are still OP.. they have flames, everyone knows flames make you A go faster B do more damage. And dont its poision me bro it's just green flames....

templesus

Another let down here, what's that, 4 weeks in a row? .2 sec longer for dark deal. What a joke.

Xvorg

And well, ZoS responds by doing exactly why nobody asked... NBs increase in TP instead of buffing siph attacks.

We told them they destroyed stamDK, they still do nothing...

and the increase of the channel in sorcs DE from 1, to 1.2 secs....

Seriously, a high school group could do better balancing isues...

Preyfar

Burning Spell Weave should have gotten one nerf or the other, not both. Dropping damage to an odd number (525) and increasing proc chance is a bit odd. BSW is already not as useful with the new heavy attack meta, so this double nerf seems really out of place.

Valkysas154

PTS DELETED wast of time and space MW looking more like play the story quit the game like gw2 after hot

Feanor

I have been told that 2 seconds is an eternity in Cyrodiil. So 1.2 seconds seems right. Can we stop with the nerfs now?

Cinbri

Very good changes.

Rohamad_Ali

Can't hold Bow heavy attack . Bow immersion rekt .

LiquidPony

Heavy Attacks now automatically fire when they are fully charged.

lol, because no one charges and holds a bow heavy attack to quickly take down mobs when they spawn in Maelstrom or DSA or dungeons, right?

Burning Spellweave: Decreased the proc chance to 15% from 20%, and decreased the Spell Damage bonus to 525 from 600.

This amuses me because sorcs have been moving to Necropotence en masse over the past month or so. Meaning, the BSW nerf is a nerf for mag DKs and magplars but classes running pet builds are unaffected. Meaning, magsorc is now more OP than before.

GG ZOS.

I wouldn't trust these goobers to develop an iPhone fart noise app at this point.

wisej12

Don't listen to the negativity. These are actually really good changes (particularly Pirate Skeleton, thank God). Personally I think Dark Conversation should've been increased by 0.5 seconds (and I main sorc), but I'll take what I can get.

Question for ZOS:

Nature’s Grasp: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs were targeting NPCs; it can now only target other player characters.

Does this mean you can't use this spell on your bear pet anymore? Is that intended?

Durham

Lol still nothing on stam DK not listening at all

  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.

Where is the fun in that.. I can't sneak around with my bow drawn anymore as I prepare a sneak attack? I get that its better combat wise but it's just not the same.

Militan1404

Haha they remind me of a kid that really dont want to clean hes room when its about nerfing the sorc, just doing it in mouse steps til its to late and its no time anymore. Not like with the other classes, then it was to just rip them apart and be done with it..

bodidharma99

replace refreshing path with a stam version morp

Gorthax

THANK YOU! I don't care what happens now since you finally nerfed these Olympic runners!! Shite got old super fast (pun intended).

MagnusBlackmane

Let me summarize what I think is going on until now...

Patch Notes vs Meta-builds-community



Oh it is beautiful... it truly is.

Kihamai

Why the change to bow heavy attacks? They already had a visual cue when they were ready and fully charged. It was nice holding it back and choosing the right time to fire it off.

1. Can us Stamina Nightblades get some love too please? We're even less DPS than our Magicka counterpart, yet Twisting is getting more buffs?

2. Upping Carve's damage at least acknowledges the fact that the skill sucks, but increasing the initial hit alone won't do much. I have some nice suggestions here; https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4074683#Comment_4074683

3. Great to see the Bow's Heavy attack auto unleash. It was super bizarre and inconsistent with every other HA operations. Would have been cool to see a "precision" buff instead that empowered perfectly timed shots that released as they became fully charged instead though.

Durham

It's been the #1,#2,#3 topic on boards much of the past 3 weeks ... please tell us to stop leaving feedback if this is what your going with... Stam DK in PVP is really in a bad place atm ....

Saint_Bud

Still no change to sustain!
You talk about how important heavy attacks will be, but you forget that complytly replace spamskills with heavy attacks give much better results. This changes would be ok for me when i have an option to get same result with normal playstyle instead heavy attack build, but thats not possible right now. And with nearfing bsw you punisch all how have farmed it and not want to play a pet sorc with necropotance.

Nailed it.

And that kid knows he'll have to do that. Just not nooooow, mommy!

GallantGuardian

Koolio

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

I wish we could read some of the feedback Zo$ received from this one....

"Dear Zo$, your game is broken and I would like to report this recent bug I encountered. I recently PUG'd a vet DLC daily, and was yelled at for using my bow as my main weapon. I was told that I could not light attack my way through ICP, CoS, or RoM. So I L2P (a new term I just learned) and am now heavy attacking. However when I hold down the button to attack on my bow, nothing happens! My character just runs around holding his bow and not shooting anything. I would like his looked into immediately! "

MagnusBlackmane

@Mojmir Yes, yes I do. I just choose not to care, I though me advertising in my signature that I play a Khajiit MBlade pointed that way. I play for fun you know, not number crunching.

Integral1900

The lazy anchor campers, endlessly bag rummaging are going to blow up! That's utterly awesome! The moment this drops I'm going to vulkelguards dark anchor and watch the carnage

Best change ever!!!!
