Awesome patch. Very nicely tuned combat changes. That tank (or PVP) monster helm is cleverly thought out, as well.

BASE GAME UPDATES

Level Up Advisor
This new system is designed to teach new players about the many facets of combat and progression in ESO. It contains useful rewards for new and veteran players alike as you progress from levels 2-50, and every five levels, you will receive a milestone reward with something special such as a mount, Crown Crate, costume, or a helpfulweapon. Simply open the Character UI to claim your rewards! Below, you’ll find the list of milestone rewards:

• Level 5: Two Green-quality Rings, part of a basic 2-piece Item Set that grants a Max Health bonus
• Level 10: Sorrel Horse
• Level 15: A choice of 6 blue-quality weapons
• Level 20: A costume of choice and a Fire Atronach Crown Crate
• Level 25: A choice of 6 purple-quality weapons
• Level 30: 4,000 gold and a Fire Atronach Crown Crate
• Level 35: A choice of 10 purple-quality crafting-improvement materials
• Level 40: 6,000 gold, The Soul Shriven motif, and an Outfit Token
• Level 45: An Undaunted Key
• Level 50: 10,000 gold and a Fire Atronach Crown Crate

So... which costumes are available for choosing? (Please say we will have Dark Shaman Costume as an option /o\)

People combat in this game? I thought it was about playing house and dressing up? What have I been missing!?

Quantum_V

Really liked the changes. Nerfing actual permablockers and buffing your average blocker. Gone with AoE caps. Well done!

BohnT

Why no:
fix to soultrap breaking cloak
nerfs to stamwarden in pvp
nerf to Soul Assault
nerf to Skoria
buff to stamdk/stamsorc in pvp
Balance for seventh Legion
nerf to all hardcounters in the game
changes to defiles being way too strong?

QoL doesn't mean adding new Things while Balance and Lag are as bad as they are that doesn't improve our lives !!

Nerfed Rewards of the Worthy. Get 'em while you can, people.

Tommy_The_Gun

Well... did any one complained about gap - closers dealing too much dmg ?!

We’ve decreased the damage values on numerous gap closer abilities – not just Teleport Strike, but other charge abilities such as Critical Charge or Focused Charge as well. 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. Decreasing their damage ensures that ranged players utilizing movement and terrain to maintain their distance are better rewarded for that advantage.

Gap closer can hit for extreme amount of dmg ?! Where ? ZOS what game do you play ? This statement feels so disconnect from reality...
Anyway - the dmg is not the problem... single gap closer did not kill anyone yet at 100% health...
It is combo gap closer + CC
So technically this nerf is pointless and btw. - almost all skills have 0 cool-down not only gap closers...

btw. Sorcerer also has gap closer that stuns you... even in pvp.. did streak dmg got reduced too ?

Paulington

Healer light set from Scalecaller Peak is insane. I like it a lot.

Also love the image. .

BigBadVolk

finally the end of aoe crap, thank you so much ZoS! and the gap closer nerf also

ak_pvp

This new behavior also applies to the Power Lash ability. You can use Power Lash to stun enemy Players.

*worlds longest yeah boi*

A_G_G_R_O

Earthgore nerf did I miss it?

The things like mount/crown crates are once per account, mentioned on ESO Live.

Hamiltonmath

Also, trials groups will now have to communicate when a boss is off balance. Heavy attacks will double the stam and mag regen. Makes me wonder if it will be worth having a charged lightning staff on the backbar for a healer if the off balance is only once every 30 seconds. Or if having champion points into the passive that does extra damage against off balance is even worth it. Thoughts?

majulook

Will existing level 50 characters get the rewards for each previous level Such as the Housing Storage at level 18 ?

GrumpyDuckling

Are there more class balance changes to come?

oh yes!


General
Area of Effect abilities now deal full damage to all targets hit, instead of having a damage penalty after hitting 7 or more targets. Secondary effects from those Area of Effect abilities (snares, stuns, etc.) are still capped at 6 targets.
Developer Comment:
Spoilerhide
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.

Chilly-McFreeze

From Bone Shield:

"If an ally uses the synergy and applies the damage shield to you, you will now also be placed on cooldown for that synergy."

I always thought the synergy applies the shield only on them, not on the caster. Am I wrong or is that changed?


Also, from Atronach:

"This will result in higher damage done for Magicka or Stamina builds, but may result in less damage done for hybrid builds."

I'm a bit split on this one. It's nice that the Atronach gets a little boost but less damage done on hybrids... yes, exactly what this game needs...

wasnt there still an issue with punc sweeps? I thought it suffered from the same scaling issues as jesus beam?

Also the lack of major mending is still an issue for templars.

TrinityBreaker

Zaan (Monster)
Spell Critical
When you deal Critical Damage with a Light or Heavy Attack to a nearby enemy, a beam of fire will connect you to your enemy. The beam deals 3440 Flame Damage every 1 second for 5 seconds. Every second, this damage increases by 50%. The beam is broken.

Fixed that for u.
