The Markarth DLC and Update 28 base game patch are now available to test on the PTS! Read the full patch notes here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/categories/pts/

Proposal: Make medium attacks give back resources scaled to their duration.

As of Morrowind patch, medium attacks do less damage than light attacks while giving no benefit at all until they are fully charged heavy attacks.

For the sake of choice and fast paced combat, please implement the resource return of heavy attacks differently: Just like the Rally heal and the Siphoning Strikes mechanic, make medium attacks (aka not fully charged heavy attacks) give back a portion of the heavy attack's resource return based on the duration of the wind up.

    Yep.This is stupid AF getting zero magicka with medium attacks but I guess they dont want to stress their servers by having to calculate the ammount of magicka return depending on how long the attack charge was.
    at this point I would be ok with a standar return of magicka no matter the charge but........ ZOS!

    They already calculate the amount of damage done with a not fully charged heavy attack based on the time it takes to charge the attack. So it should be fairly easy to add a line for the resource return. A basic calculation like this shouldn't stress the servers too much because all data needed is already there.

    It would just feel natural to base the resource return on the charge time :)

    Bah i'm doing more than fine the way it is now, getting some ressources back on medium attack on my side would just bring back the infinite ressources as it was before and why they made last major patch's changes. So it would jsut bring back what they tried to change with the CP changes, just stop thinking all Spellpower and huge numbers and think a bit more regen, you'll be fine.

    Yes please!

    I've always been a destro medium weaver because it was easier for me to do than full light attack weaving, the update made the attacks so meaningless though.

    I would love for this idea to be true so we can have some sustain with better damage than heavy build options.

    This would be a great change considering how bad they nerfed resource management in morrowind.. +1
    RIP Vampirism. Passed away during a May 15th, 2020 twitch stream.

    Vampirism is survived by its stamina counterpart, the werewolf, that has a fully functioning kit, reasonable ability costs, and does not stack debuffs onto regular abilities, sustain, and defense.

    You will be missed.
