Daedric Aura(Bound Armaments)

I would like to know if I get to keep my glowing eyes and aura while Bound Aegis is slotted, or if it only appears for the few seconds it's activated. Anyone on PTS have an answer?

I'd like to know this too.

Only appears when it's active (at least the mag morph). When you activate it on the PTS, it makes the same sound and animation as when you activate it now, you're glowing purple for 3 sec, then you return to normal.

The look can be copied on live by turning it on and turning it off after 3 sec.

Well that sucks. Now I have to walk around with my ugly a$$ vampire eyes.

ZOS took the bound armor skill, looked at what everyone wanted and then slowly and deliberately chucked it as far as they could in the other direction. Can’t wait for 5k stam drop when I swap to my backbar on my PvP Stam Sorc.

I think they did it because it was bugged on the otherwise of a load screen. Couldn't fix it so they just changed it and said "look now it works as intended"

You really complain because they remove those horrible dualslotactivateonce-passives?
They are literally the worst "skills" in the whole game.

Not true. One barring it is way better. Yes the extra skills are useless. But Aegis we all only slot now for magika and it takes 2-3slots. Now one.

We should have a massive for the 8% magika would be better. This is a good change, probably the only one i like. Tho i dispose the blocking rediction

One of the worst things about playing a Sorc, for me, is loading into every area and getting the horrible crashing and screaming sound of casting the toggle ability (bound armaments in my case). Its horrible and too loud. Now I have to suffer casting it every 3 seconds, as a tank, in some situations. Might end up dropping it altogether if they got rid of the permanent toggle visual (only worth having/admiring outside combat) as well as being annoyed by the casting audio. As "good" as it may be as a skill there are limits to my tolerance.

Just my 2 cents.

The weird thing is way back when there was an argument ZOS put forth that the effect needed to be telegraphed to other players so they knew sorcs were using the skill in PvP. Despite the fact that basically all sorcs at the time had it double barred in PvE and PvP.

At least we found a SorcTank out of this!! But sounds like Sorc Tanks aren't happy either with the changes a s that's who they are all for!!!!

Sorcs have been hit hard

Except we don’t have a passive so... double bar it risk the massive stam/mag change. Not good for stam on attack to defense bar. I mean I agree it’s a great change if we were allowed a passive to fill in for max stam or if it simply buffed for say 20 seconds.
