    Annnd no DK improvements, again.

    What a terrible disappointment. I guess this patch really is the end for us.

    ~Currently taking a break from the game until my DK can become something more than just a crafter~

    It’s so stupid, they keep saying balance changes will come next patch or say guys this is what the pts is for. Stop nerfing a already gimped class. I’m looking back now at how I posted on Templar threads about balance changes to magdk after ZOS was actively engaging with them. The people told me go make your own thread that doesn’t troll and maybe Zos will actually respond, bro WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. I hope the Templars on that understand now why I had to post on their forum.

    As I have said multiple times, these winning comments about mDK are just a circle jerk now.. Most doesnt even tried it on pts.

    Don't need a PTS to tell that they are already never used in end-game PvE content on live and nothing in the PTS notes has any inkling of improving that.

    No off-balance improvements? The stupid 5sec off-balance will go live?

    Btw it is never too late to finally fix the lightning staff bugs or the invisible group member bug. (Both are already old(>1y) enough to be considered for a bug fix)

    You will no longer fall through Outpost or Keep grates when hit by abilities that cause knockbacks.

    Invisible group member buff to my knowledge is one of the oldest bugs in the game actually. Has been around since launch.
    Lightning/resto heavy attack bugs also surpises me that they're still beeing ignored despite having such a negative impact on gameplay...

    Hmm... I wonder which is going to be better for my sustain, casting a free cost Power Lash once every 3 seconds, or casting a free cost Power Lash once every 5-7 seconds. :thinking: :thinking:

    Did DK skills get more expensive? No.
    Did their magicka regen somehow get nerfed? No.

    How exactly has sustain of mDK become worse in PvP environment? Just curious.

    Mag DKs will still be one of the most played builds in PVP, and they still can shield stack like a beast in PVE. This whingeing as if you (complainers) all have access to actual game-metrics, insider-insight, and behind the scenes developer knowledge, when all that you have is entirely anecdotal and clearly biased beliefs, has got to stop. Go play another game if you’re so disappointed. Enough is enough.

    Balancing will come with the Chapter, anyway, as was already stated. Wait for that or just go rather than adding unnecessary toxicity to the game.


    Nobody shield stacks in PvE lol and any class in 5 light can stack shields as well as a magDK... wut? You might use Harness here or there in situations but you're not "stacking" it lol. It's not adding anything toxic to the game to say magDK's are getting more frustrated with each passing patch becuase they've been left behind in PvE for nearly a year. Many players left, and not just DK's, since morrowind but the DK's still playing just want to see a return to competitive PvE. Being disappointed isn't the same as being toxic. Patience is wearing thin for a fix to something ZOS admits is broken... class balance.

    When ZOS changed combat maths they broke Magplars and still have not fixed it either. It seems like a simple fix. Just increase the base damage of Magplar skills that have percent amps built into the skill but that hasn't happened yet. Frustration is a fitting thing when there are options to apply simple fixes for class balance here or there instead of putting it off for a year.

    Frustration is not toxic. Disappointment is not toxic. We're still here supporting their product... but for how much longer?

    I miss the fixes to the various bugs with crowd control abilities that were reported before 3.3.4. Are these fixed and accidentally omitted from the notes or are there no fixes? Thanks for clarification.

    You posted in this thread here (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/392685/cc-break-is-broken) saying there should be a fix in next week’s PTS, which would be 3.3.4.

    Good catch - yes, the fix for that is in today's patch. Will get a patch note added. Thanks!

    Haven't given ZOS any money since Morrowind Chapter in protest of the extreme over nerf of sustain. I went from spending 1000's in the crown store a year on crates, mounts, and costumes to not even getting the last 2 dlc's. Looks like I'm sitting this dlc out aswell.

    I play on console so I won't have a fancy addon to track off balance cooldown or alert me when bosses are off balance so this patch does nothing to address how awful sustain has been post Morrowind. 5 seconds is laughable in mechanic heavy fights. I already play less and less but I don't know if I'll get on much for this patch and just hope the next chapter brings what it has promised and then might come back.

    Ooh -- can the same code / event handler / validation rule be applied to Player Housing Furniture ...? That has been a huge request from players since the launch of Homestead (and the main reason player "arenas," etc. are so limited). <3

    Forget it, i have 4 mDKs and my main since day 1 ESO is magicka with 29K+ achievements.

    They will do nothing, i will slowly grind achievements on another character instead, i give up, they want us to leave the class and have an excuse to delete it or kill it.
    mDKs still need a lot of love!

    Shattering Rocks (Petrify morph): Fixed an issue where Rank IV of this morph was not setting secondary targets Off Balance.

    What is the point of this ability if Powerlash got 3s cooldown?

    I'm sure if I ever revert back to my sorc, I will still be having a blast using Fire Reach on those people standing right on the outside of the Outpost, knocking them down like apples from a tree. So there will still be some fun left in there :)

    Did you expect any different?

    Every class has been "killed" by the developers and those unpopular changes have stayed. I get it, it sucks. But let's not pretend that DKs are somehow the red-headed stepchildren of ZoS.
