Yeah that would all be great. However, look at what they did to off-balance cooldowns.Boss enemies can only be set Off Balance once every 15 to 20 seconds. After the first Off Balance debuff ends on a boss enemy, they will be immune to subsequent Off Balance debuffs until this immunity duration is over.
mDKs were already super reliant on off-balance to sustain.This basically kills mDKs in PvE.
@Stamden
We are going to need to see how this plays out. I agree at first glance it looks like a DPS nerf. But I potentially see this as being something that really alters they way we DPS, "maybe" for the better. It might allow characters to essentially use a more traditional rotation that is actually more DPS then the current Heavy Attack meta, which could make up for the DPS loss.
In other words, you do a pre-morrowind rotation (NO hA's) for about 80 % of the fight, and you have someone like a tank make calls for "off-Balance" so everyone can quickly top off their resources with the resource buff to HA's they also added. The question remains will this be enough of a sustain Increase to justify the change.0 -

✭✭✭Considering how broken shadow image is, it might shed some light on how terrible the other morph is...
But nah, one morph is completely broken and the other is completely useless.
Why? Because its mag NB, the hardest class to master so most players dont bother, so it gets NO attention on the forums, so no dev wants to fix it!!
I wish we could come up with another skill for Agony too.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶

If it was just a DPS nerf directly that would be one thing, however that is more of an indirect effect of what is really the problem: sustain
I mean to even try to make the current mDK be functinal, you are going to have to run 3x reduce cost glyphs, magicka regen sets, etc, and that is what is going to gut mDK dps even worse.
Maybe this change would be better in the long run, but they certainly need to do something about mDK sustain if they plan to keep it like this. Wether is be reducing skill costs, adding regen passives, or reworking some of the useless skills mDKs have (ie. wings) to make them sustain oriented.PC NA

That is certainly the other way it could swing, and may depend on the fight to some degree. I believe this is an attempt to help raid sustain, but again, until we play with it for a while, its hard to know how it will play out.Oreyn_Bearclaw wrote: »@Oreyn_Bearclaw

Dont get me wrong, I agree that mDKs have their issues as PVE DPS. They are currently non-viable as a DPS in any raid worth a darn (so are magplar, and mag warden). I think the factor is actually two-fold. Their sustain is garbage (really an issue with every magic class except NB and maybe warden), and their melee damage just isnt up to scratch with stamina. I believe this is an attempt to do something about sustain. Fixing the former would certainly help the later.1 -

This is insaneArea of Effect abilities now deal full damage to all targets hit, instead of having a damage penalty after hitting 7 or more targets. We want to encourage more tactical group play where players are encouraged to spread out instead of stacking in a tight ball. We’re still evaluating this aspect of AoE caps, and will make adjustments in the future as necessary.
I'm already seeing huge 40+ man guilds roll into keeps with 20+ players all casting permafrost and eye of the storm. This change empowers zergs, not tactical groups, making it even easier for huge groups to roll an entire keep. In CP PvP, players shrug off cold fire siege like it's nothing.
Granted, I main a stamblade which has zero AOE capabilities (and no "negate" power either) but this change basically means my character won't be able to participate in flipping flags or defending inner keeps any more. Guess I'll be the dude stealthed outside the keep wall somewhere, accused of "leeching" points.
The way I see it, every buff intended to help small groups is also given freely to massive groups, and the balance is no better than it was before. In some cases, IMHO, the balance is worse because 20+ players running bomb builds can roll over anything and everything in their path. I just don't understand this change unless it's to get all players to run magic bomb builds.
See the bigger picture. The way AOE damage currently works, stacking 40 people on top of each other and spamming AOE skills creates an unstoppable blob of destruction. If another player casts an AOE on the blob, it only does significant damage to 7/40 players. Healers can easily keep up with that. With this upcoming change, when you cast that same AOE on the blob it does significant damage to 40/40 players. Which makes it much harder to heal through. This change makes it less viable to stack 40 players on top of each other because that just makes for a juicy target for bombers. You'll be seeing small bomb groups or even single players taking out an entire zergball on their own. Hopefully after a while, this leads to players spreading out more, which will create more opportunity for single target pvp builds to pick off people.
Are the AOE caps on heals not removed as well, then? Or will aoe heals keep their cap?Light Attack Hero

Autumnhart✭✭✭✭So when I interrupt a sorc's dark deal he's staggered and stunned and set off-balance, and can't cast dd again for 3 seconds. When he breaks from that, he has immunity from all cc for six seconds, including any interrupts.

Wow this is the opposite of good advice. If this is the kind of skills advised I would say this system should be removed altogether. It's also not helpful since it doesn't provide any reason why a skill is ill-advised which teaches new players nothing. It's more important players know why and in which situations a skill is preferable rather than 'because skill adviser told me not to choose the other one'2 -
N00BxV1✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yeah...I know they said that, but I hope they reconsider. Players who've maxed out all character slots with all level 50 characters will miss out on some nice bonuses unless they fork over real money (1500 crowns for an additional slot):
-3 crates, which admittedly could all contain crap
-a mount, which if they haven't purchased it yet for gold, they won't be able to once the update goes live
-a storage coffer, which sounds like this can still be purchased from a couple of in-game sources
-a costume of choice - hopefully NOT one that's not currently available in the CS (which would then cost 1500 crowns for veteran players) - but if it's just one of the basic 500 crown costumes, that's still a free 500 crowns to new players
-an outfit token, which I assume is an outfit change token, otherwise if it's a token to unlock an additional outfit slot, that's another real money cost for veteran players that is free for new players
Also, not thrilled about the Soul Shriven motif change. While I like that it's available earlier than Cadwell's silver (or is it gold?), I don't like that in order to get it on my new level 50 character, I will have to finish their main alliance quest line, the main quest line/Coldharbour, plus silver (and potentially gold) in the next month in order to obtain it. Yes, I know that it doesn't matter with the outfit system, but I would like to have the motif on all my characters.
It would seem that at least the motif could be retroactive - they made it retroactive when first they introduced it, so I don't see why they can't do so again.
Please ZOS, please consider making the motif retroactive to level 50 characters who haven't yet finished Cadwell's (or have it still be a reward for Cadwell's in addition to level 40.
Also, please consider making the account-wide rewards retroactive rather than forcing veteran players to purchase an additional character slot.Goddess_Althena wrote: »From a customer's perspective I'm disappointed to hear that ZOS does not plan to reward max level characters with retroactive level rewards. I very much hope this is something they plan to reconsider before implementing the system. All too often nowadays are long-term loyal customers left out of incentive bonuses for newcomers. How many people can't get a deal on their cable or a cell phone nowadays unless they jump from company to company? Why in the world would ZOS even consider not making these rewards retroactive?
If it was a few consumables and some gold that would be one thing, but 3 Crown crates, a costume, an expensive storage coffer and the completely random decision to now award the soul Shriven motif to a level 40 player when previously it was a very time consuming achievement? Absolutely I think these are great bonuses to hand out to players as they level, but why would you not give the same rewards to the players who held in there and grinded up without any of these helpful incentives?
And to those who would argue that a new character slot will be available for purchase I just roll my eyes. A transparent attempt to make more money while penalizing loyal customers. As if they don't have enough income with the deplorable Crown crate system. This business model leaves a lot to be desired and I sincerely hope ZOS gives this a good think through.
Agreed.
Some of the level-up rewards should be retroactive instead of devaluing my time spent and/or requiring me to spend money just to get what newcomers can get for free.
- How are my level 50 characters that haven't done Cadwell's supposed to get the Soul Shriven motif if it's given as a level-up reward? Would they still have to do Cadwell's for it while new characters get it just by leveling-up?
- Is the free Outfit Token for an Outfit Slot or Outfit Change? If it's for an Outfit Slot are my level 50's expected to pay for that additional slot while new characters get it for free?
- The free costume and storage container level-up rewards are account-wide - luckily I have a few characters that still need leveling (or can be deleted) or else I'd be required to purchase the new character slot and level just for those account collectibles. This sucks for people already with 14 level 50's though.
While offering newcomers incentives to play is good, you must also make it fair to existing customers.Edited by N00BxV1 on January 9, 2018 11:28PM5 -

Gap closers in ESO have no cooldown and can hit for extreme amounts of damage, so there is very little opportunity cost in forcing your enemies to use them.

It would be just fair to decrease the cost at the same marge.
And to be honest, so much dmg they don´t cause in comparision to their usefullness. The dmg get added by using other skilla/abilities, sets aso.
Cheap in use they are certainly not, 3442 Stamina or 4050Magicka is not what I recall as an sell-out!(teleportstrike and morphs)
And it is not clear to see, why using these abilities are looked at as being offering more advantages as for example fragments etc.
As melee-player in dungeons and trials you need these gapclosers often to get fast to the boss, mobs or whatever to get dmg on them.
Ranged players can stay at range and put dmg on those opponents, we must close the gap first and after that we can start to put on dmg.
I read this and think: ah once again melee players get punished for being melee. You at ZOS think it is an advantage to be melee?? Well you are killing us, patch after patch. Why should it be an advantage to get to an enemy fast.
So it is just predictable that melee-dmg is less wanted once more, in trials(no need there), pledges(oh you are stamblade, stay home) or wherever.
Think it over what you are doing, just to pls some players in PvP, by killing whole playstyles? Is it really true that you want just one meta for everyone and you support this by devastating whole grps of other players???

I completely agree this was not an issue there was no need for this change.. In PVP this was not a big deal... In many build gap closers have been removed for another useful ability...
Every patch the character I play get hits hard with nerfs lol... Stam DK in PVP is being reduced to nothing ..

Spoilerhide
The changes to Block’s costs are meant to reduce the extreme differences between builds that specialize in blocking and ones that do not. We’ve lowered the base cost of Block to ensure that all builds can have an easier time blocking attacks without being completely drained of Stamina. We’ve also changed Block cost jewelry enchantments to work similarly to Magicka or Stamina cost reduction jewelry enchantments. Builds utilizing those enchantments (and other reductions to Block cost) were too effective at keeping block up. Finally, we’ve buffed Ancient Knowledge so that it is comparable to the Fortress passive, which brings the gap between traditional Sword and Shield tanking and Frost Staff tanking closer.
This is only useful in PVP. PVE-Player are screwed again, just because everyone in PVP is crying. Same with synergies.
Just simply add different rules to PVP areas... It cannot be that hard2 -
