Strife: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 2700 Magicka from 1891 Magicka.

Would've liked to see some bleeding nerfing which is extremely powerful in PvP and some more stamplar love. But okay, it looks pretty good so far and nothing unnecessarily ridiculous.

IDK how someone could abuse those sets, one CC burst attempt ruins you because it took a GCD to get out of sprint.

Only nerds let players beat them using those sets lol.

Another nice nerf that you could do and that is completely justifiable and must be done is the incapacitating strike and soul harvest nerfs.

Typo?

Also thanks for the cloak fix finally

Is this trying to show difference between levels and improvement?
Or is it because its the 2 piece of that set?
EDIT: Took me a while to realise the typo XD yeah thats a typo

vMaick

I'm sorry, 2h buffs and summerset stuff is really nice but I'm really disappointed with the rest.

no rebalancing of maelstrom/master/asylum weapons, no warden buffs, no buffing sets that no one uses...
Also still a lot of useless skills that weren't buffed or changed in any way...

[Edited for bashing]

Its kinda sad that zos just pretends the Warden is good...

Soul Strike: Fixed an issue where this ability and the Shatter Soul morph were still snaring the enemy target. The snare has been removed from all versions of this ability.

Cool, from 70% to zero for both morphs. You just couldn't be satisfied with the soul assault change only?


SIGH!

spiiros

"Path of Darkness: Reduced the damage and healing done by this ability and Refreshing Path morph by approximately 5%, and reduced the damage done by the Twisting Path morph by approximately 9%."

Why

Peekachu99

Eh. I’m actually less enthusiastic about the class changes after reading everything in full. Doesn’t feel like a major rework as much as just standard tuning that we see every DLC or so. Everything will still be the same as it was. Also quite disappointed with the absolute lack of a full and much needed tuning of sets, considering jewlery crafting was just introduced.

Don’t know that ESO will be my only online home this year.

Oops, that should've been Stamina Recovery. Thanks, and changed!

Sinax_KNT

Item Sets are rubbish.. Do you guys actually think about how players play the game?

Blackbird_V

We REALLY need Racial changes; they have not been touched for ages. The Strife nerf is not necessary in my opinion, no idea why it's being nerfed.

Sad to see we still don't have "Hide Chest" and "Hide Shoulders" option for outfit station




Buff Bretons

beetleklee

I'm really excited about multicore support. I have a high end PC and the longer the game runs, the worse my frames get (usually only in trials or Cyrodiil) it's especially bad in trials with lots of effects, usually lightning effects, like the first few bosses of HoF...even with some graphics turned down.

Wish there were some racial balances, especially with stamina races, as Redguard is best for both PVP and PVE and has been for a long time now. Not calling for a nerf but buff the others so they have something to bring to the table to make up for the lower sustain, so it would be worth it to run another race.

CatastrophicSuccess

At a glance I'm a little disappointed by the new sets and some of the class balancing but I can't wait to try this out and see how the pts progresses before live

Apache_Kid

What about the special weapons from the new trials? Was I reading too fast and missed it?

Edit: So there are perfected versions of the sets and no special individual weapon sets?

HarlotsLoki

Can't believe you are serious about the NMG/Sunder changes, while offering no alternative to hitting max penetration. Are you trying your best to force most dd to magicka for endgame content?

ZOS_GinaBruno

Hey everyone, just a reminder that we keep the PTS patch notes thread open for you to comment in order to gather feedback or identify issues before we go live. It is not intended to post non-constructive comments or bash the development team. If these rules cannot be followed, we'll close the patch notes thread for commenting. Thanks for your understanding.

even when you are CC'd, if you push shift, you still get the major protection.

Here's hoping they'll increase Arctic Wind's heal more and revert the changes to Scorch and morphs... I loved having easy access to a secondary source of Major Breach and Fracture on my Warden tank...

tbh i'm really waiting for the nerfs to whip, so every magicka-build can use force pulse for best results. I guess ZOS will then call it diversity or balance or whatever...

Well-said

So I believe all the devs have already been told this when certain prominent players were brought in to test the pre-beta build of Summerset, but... just to reiterate, magicka warden is the least played spec in PvP, and now it has no class stun (outside of permafrost). Stam warden has plenty of options available in the stamina weapon skill lines, most notably reverb or dizzy swing, however the ONLY options for magicka warden are flame reach and invigorating drain. So if this change goes through, magicka warden will either be bottlenecked in to running a clunky vampire stun skill, or forced to run the master inferno staff. Neither of these are viable for magden's current skillset, and so the only people left playing the class will be zerglings/healbots. Literally no good player in PvP has complained about the stun attached to Deep Fissure, infact buffing the skill to apply major breech while retaining the stun could result in magden seeing actual use in PvP. As for PvE, magden sees virtually no use either, but that's a different discussion.

Please apply the psijic skilline to our templates. I understand that you want to get feedback, but some of us just want to test combat and abilities and not spoil us the stories and quests. We wish to do them with our beloved main characters.

• The Pierced Note is now also available outside the Redoran Kinhouse in Balmora after completing the quest "Family Reunion."

@ZOS_GinaBruno

So you decided to fix a book that was still accessible to everyone if they were in a party with someone who had the quest. But you didn't fix the books that are actually completely inaccessible to some players, no matter what they do.

Also, one half-fix for just one book in a chapter update, even though you have perfect lists that players created for you, explaining which books are bugged and why. Impressive. /sarcasm
