Their damage has also been adjusted due to this new scaling and should remain relatively unchanged (with an exception to Burning, which now deals approximately double the damage of before)

Seems like a pretty solid buff to BSW if burning now does double damage. Is the burning damage a significant amount?

With all the other changes i dare say the most hated proccset in the game (viper) got buffed slightly. Ffs reduce the damage by a fair amount.

How is this a buff? Making it a 4 second DoT instead of instant damage, this can be more easily out healed, and it can be purged. That sounds like a nerf to me, which is great.

where is the change to shield stacking

Combustion: This passive ability now increases the damage of Burning and Poisoned by 25/50%, down from 33/66%.

It got nerfed, not buffed. Reread it.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Is the Domihaus monster set scale to max stamina/magicka, or is it just random?

I think that its random. If not, then its BiS for sure.

ZOS_GinaBruno

Hey guys just to clarify, only the new, upcoming homes are currently inaccessible in this patch; you can still purchase and go into the existing homes. Sorry for the confusion! Will edit the patch notes to reflect.

BigBadVolk

Think he was referring to this:

"Adjusted Elemental status effects, such as Burning or Concussion, so they now scale with your Max Magicka or Max Stamina, in addition to your Spell Damage or Weapon Damage. Their damage has also been adjusted due to this new scaling and should remain relatively unchanged (with an exception to Burning, which now deals approximately double the damage of before).

• Burning now lasts 4 seconds and ticks every 2 seconds, previously lasting 3 seconds and ticking every 1.5 seconds. The total damage ticks remain unchanged.
• Poisoned now deals its total damage over 6 seconds, down from 12 seconds.
• Concussion and Chilled’s secondary effects (Minor Vulnerability and Minor Maim) now last 4 seconds, down from 6 seconds and 5 seconds respectively."

Huh? You reread... They buffed burning damage across the board by double. So even with the combustion nerf, burning will still do way more damage for Mag DKs.

where is the fix that shieldbreaker doesnt work on ABSORBshields anymore

Changes are extermely good for new players to not cause frustation..

I do not mind that i had grinned all those sharpen staff!

"While we are happy with the current damage values of these Item Sets, having them deliver that damage in unavoidable bursts has led to an unsatisfying PvP experience"

Why are you nerfing sets like Ilambris which are purely PvE and NOBODY complained about them? It's not a PvP set! Why (again!) PvE playerbase is getting nerfed because of PvP?

Because Ilambris was overperforming. Pretty obvious.

Rungar

looks like some great changes.

well done imo.

Holy hell. this looks to be a very interesting update. Gonna be able to stack even more max magicka for my pets on my sorc, and my dk may just start using a charged staff. They also addressed the Oblivion Damage enchantment bug with infused, dope, that was something I noted in the forums a bit ago.

Wonder if they have or will address the bleed proc from the DW and 2H passives. (0 seconds doesn't deal damage and it can be overwritten by another proc causing a loss of damage the more %bleed chance you have. Though if this was addressed the bleed proc damage would need to be nerfed, a pain in the arse to fix for something that is balanced with the current numbers.)

All in all - Praise the MOBA-like combat changes. These are awesome and will provide many,many hours of renewed theorycrafting and gear grinding to properly test.

Yuke

I may risk a ban for spamming but:

Selene gonna still have a 17.2k Tooltip on my warden (minor berserk) when everything else will be a dot.

Neoauspex

@ZOS_GinaBruno is that correct on the prosperous trait? 11 recovery?

Selene is still a joke and has to be changed ... like alot.

Sandman929

Wow...so much information. Really liking what I see so far in terms of PvP though. Nothing for EotS though? Really?

ZoM_Head

Why the constant bombardment of nerfs against the mDK???

Zenimax, the mDK has been the most beaten down class since imperial city, if anything you NEED to seriously retweak this class in so many areas, have you ever actually played a light build?

Seriously, this is getting way out of control, reflective fire scales is bugged, once casted you still do not reflect (sometimes) any projectiles, since you messed with this ability in IC update.

You REALLY need to buff this class or at least rework this class, it is not even competitive in cyrodiil. Go vampire, heavy, mist form and whip, mist and wipe and use ulti...how is this a "pressure" build??

It is bad enough that 90% of the projectiles can not be reflected anymore, seriously buff this class already, its just unacceptable.

*Edit forget the combustion nerf i missed on the burning buff But leaving the mDK the way it is now is just bad, we need to have some changes.

Lord_Eomer

Slimecraw: Changed the 1-piece bonus to a double 1-piece bonus of both Weapon and Spell Critical Strike Chance instead of Health Recovery.

This set is now useful for PVE!

bebynnag

as someone who doesn't have a sharpened vma or master inferno,but does have them in many other traits..

WOOP WOOP!

Sharpened trait nerfed by nearly a half, still no token system, what about all these people who farmed like crazy their sharpened weapons ZOS? Why are you spit on your players once again? I'm done.

No need for token system now but sharpen can have some buff like 4k penetration.

Is anyone going to use a Shield Breaker lightning or resto staff when the set's 2, 3, and 4 piece bonuses all benefit stamina?

Arthg

Dang, I like what I'm reading, A LOT.

Hehehe.
