    As a Magblade I feel sorry for all of you guys who play magicka DK as main character...
    I hope Wrobel will finally open his eyes and see how bad this situation is...

    I don't. They've been the best in a 1v1 fight for a loooooong time. I doubt this will drastically change that

      • Grim Focus: The stacks you build toward the bow proc for this ability and its morphs will now remain if you recast the ability early, or if the ability expires. The partial stack will be removed if you exit combat.

      Awesome! I was hoping for this to happen!

      wait a minute. WAIT A MINUTE> are you seriously forcing people into leveling a new character in order to get all 8 storage chests??? REALLY ZOS? and before anyone says anything about "its only lvl 18" there are plenty of people who have no character slots left. there are people who don't like leveling alts. there are people who are essentially being told - delete your existing, established alt or spend crowns to get a new one.

      THIS IS A TERRIBLE CHANGE ZOS. please revert it back so that all storage containers can be purchased - make a note in a description or add a purchase warning stating that that one particular chest can be acquired as leveling reward, but make. it. buyable anyway. its bad enough that chests cannot be traded, this is making it even worse!

      For everyone whining about soul assault don't just say it needs the snare back without offering any counterplay advice. And no reducing the snare effectiveness is not counterplay.

      No proc expiration when fully charged?

      Here you go - a new gang one shot build incoming - Blob's already working on it.

      And I guess sorcs will cry to preserve their frag proc too now.

      Actually; removing it when leaving combat makes me think that cloaking could make it fall off

      • Reduced the rewards for finishing in second place to 10000 AP, and third place to 7000 AP.
      Well i though that this was mainly to promote Battlegrounds more and reduce AP farming in cyrodiil... It feels kind-of unnecessary. I would understand that if Battlegrounds had some sort of MM that will pair pugs with other pugs... most of the time it is pugs vs pre-mades... :#

      Is Cyrodiil a dueling arena now?
      Invictus
      Kilandros - Dragonknight / Grand Overlord
      Deimos - Templar / Grand Warlord
      Sias - Sorcerer / Prefect
      Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

      DK IS NOT JUST A TANK CLASS. #PLAYTHEWAYYOUWANT

      Honestly, who gives a ****, it is not balanced and cheese to begin with.

      Edit: People who at this point say DK's are still whining about PVE and even PvP (open world) for no reason are just very biased I think or have never played the class.

      Oh great, you basically erased Soul Attack from my ultimate. Now everyone can just run and go. :( The ability could've been blocked you know.

      Yea, for 15k+ stamina. That was to punishing, especially for medium armor.

      what about using an snare or a CC before your ultimate? The soul assult snare was brutal and removed counterplay

      That means wasting another slot for a cc ability, as a mag sorc. Frags no longer stun, SA will no longer stun. Besides, stamina people easily break CC in pvp. SA snare effectively countered those fast, erratic NBs.

      SA was brutal mostly to those who didn't know how to counter it. It was effective most of the time, as all ultis should. (though use it wrong - near obstacle and you will be out of any ulti points with zero damage!) Reducing the snare is one thing but going from 70% to 0% is just nonsense.

      Plus it was a nice rewarded ultimate, unlocked to those who actually played the game and finished the main quest.

      Power Lash definitely needed a nerf. Mag DK’s is way too bursty. I was so tired of one-shotting tanky targets with my high spell damage and great sustain as a Mag DK. I’m glad they buffed Nightblade and Templar and didn’t touch Warden, I feel as though snipe and birds are very well-balanced.

      You're not.
      There's nothing in regard to block changes.
      If this is all update 17 has to offer in regard to balance changes, it is seriously bad.
      I hope the next incremental patch will add additional balance changes and maybe revert some of the mentioned changes in this thread.

      The “Storage Coffer, Fortified” collectible can now only be obtained from the Level Up Advisor at level 18.
      This just seems like its pushing the 15th purchasable character slot pretty hard. Could have at least left in the crown store buy option at least. Looks like anyone who wants a full set of storage will have to grind out a new alt.

      The lack of mention of hide head slot/other slots or changes/fixes to them is disconcerting. I hope to have no loss in functionality that the current hide helmet toggle currently does. It is concerning especially since all the outfit system gold sinks are still on the table even for ESO plus members.

      These DK changes have me pretty upset. Not 'hold a mock funeral in my back yard for my mDK' kinda upset, but pretty close.

      At this point, its come pretty clear that its more important certain peoples ideas take precedence over whats better for the game and its community. This whole DLC from a combat aspect has been disappointing to say the least.

      DK changes seemed rushed to balance the new helm together and wasn't tested properly.

      Soul assault was a great change

      Off balanced I'm sure was tested a lot since it is the main point for a lot of pve dps

      The immovable pot time change seems like a targeted change meaning wrobel didn't like it personally and wanted to *** me :)

      AP changes to BGs seems like you did the math and it's too much but right now BGs are some what vacant and need more players so this doesn't help that issue. If anything it will discourage players.

      Umm that's all my effort for this XD hope the comments get attention. The other changes we will have to look at on live to see if they are right for the game or not and ummmmmmmmmmm did boots get standards? Did I read that right lol rip

      mDK is in serious need of help as it was, and even more so with these changes when it comes to PVE DPS.

      With the changes to off balance and now powerlash the ability to sustain a dps rotation is going to go from difficult to nearly impossible.

      If you want to do away with the off balance and powerlash spam, fine. But give us something that helps us sustain. Bring ability costs down. Rework the passives to be more in-line with other classes. (One thing to help the magicka pool in someway that's not tied to dropping an ult).

      Add magicka steal to flames of oblivion or another magicka DK skill. That and a little passive regeneration and maybe this wont hurt mDK DPS players so much.

      what i dont understand is how wardens still have ____ING undodgable spammable attacks, which hit HARDER than powerlash, and they dont need to proc it.
      ex. shimmering shield costs half of what wings cost. WTF IS GOIN ON THERE

      zos is such a pay to win company. i hope they lose BILLIONS like EA did with the battlefront 2 scandle

        • Flame Lash (Lava Whip morph): The Power Lash attack from this morph now has a 3 second cooldown.
      In my opinion, 3 seconds is too much. 2 seconds!
      Look at this: "(...) to deal Flame Damage and stun them for 2 seconds. You also heal over 2 seconds."
      That is... 2 seconds cooldown!
