Very excited as the details revealed in play testing are now public.

I think the class skill and morph changes mentioned are very positive and well thought out. The new Jewelry traits, armor sets, and 2 Handed Weapons counting as 2 set pieces are great ways to shake up the meta and I see these as opening up more and more possibilities for different play styles and such to be very viable.

Kudos ZOS and Thank you!


What do you guys think? Are you excited for the upcoming additions and changes?

I'm not sure how I feel about the 2H change. I understand that people have been asking for it, but I've always been of the mind that having your weapon count as one armor slot is the sacrifice you make for using a 2H weapon. I mean, a staff is not, in fact, 2 weapons, why should it count like it is? It also seems like a really big change to make when they are already introducing jewelry crafting. Jewel crafting alone opens up a ton in terms of build diversity.

These two changes together seem like they could introduce some unintended consequences; I'm a little surprised to see them happening at the same time. A more cautious approach would be to introduce jewel crafting now, see where things sit a few months out, and then make the 2H change if it's still needed.

I'm definitely optimistic about some of the skill changes, and the expansion in general. I think there's a TON to be excited about, so please don't take my reservation at one particular change as if I'm poo-pooing Summerset. It will be interesting to see how this plays out on the PTS, for sure!

Before everybody gets TOO excited, theres quite a few buffs listed there to magicka builds in particular.... there's likely to be a big nerf somewhere to counter that!

Though on the face of it, very exciting news.

Yep. Now I can run either transmutation/wizards/lich on resto staff, run a willpower destro staff for the 2 piece bonus, and still have another 5 piece and monster set.

Start saving your willpower destro staves. Prices about to go up.
