I'm hoping the devs in the balance department play a lot of PvP; especially battlegrounds. If they do I won't have anything to worry about :smiley:

    Specific targetted nerfs for high profile over performing sets/abilities as well as a nice fat round of buffs for under performing sets/abilities is the best I can hope to see. I don't want to see blanket nerfs that destroy 100 sets when only a few are broken. Target the problems with a scalpel, not a shotgun.

    Since light attack damage got buffed, I'm expecting a general nerf to overall DPS sometime in future updates once ZOS decides that PVE players are wrecking their end-game content too easily.

    Hopefully they nerf the Maelstrom bow and Relequen.

    Why? The Maelstrom bow is the last good vMA weapon and the only reason to even do vMA anymore.

    Sadly we know how this plays out, i.e. the opposite of what you want with the introduction of 2 new sets that will be broken op for 3-6 months

    relequen is fine as it is our sustain is garbage and if they nerf the maelstrom bow at all theyll litterally make it worthless so they cant nerf that. also everybody who beat maelstrom for that bow would backlash the heck outta zos.

    Because I hate the fact that stamina is carried by these items.

    the funny part about this is you think stamina is carried by it. sad to tell you only about 30% even run the stupid thing right now since the patch allowing 2 handers to count as two pieaces. ive found better power out of having 2 5 pieaces over having that bow clogging up a slot. and as far as your requen issue there is nothing wrong with that set as its not even amazing in pvp. that set has to ramp up in that ramp time you can get nuked before you even poke the person your trying to kill hard enough to makem think. so your points really hold no true issue to them.

    Battlegrounds is like 3% of the game and zero percent to me. So I hope they do not play a lot of PvP.

    What i would love to see, would probably be impossible to implement without massive strain on the server, but a system that searches the nearby sets and gear being used, and buff according to how rare that set is at the time. SO if everyone is running the same gear set up, nothing changes for them, no nerfs, but that 1 guy wearing deaths wind finds his gear gets a huge buff. It would encourage finding new combos and such rather than cookie cutter meta chasing
    Ummm stuff… about stuff…or something.

    Would love to see the many redundant sets buffed so they are competitive and we can get more build diversity. There are so many sets now that are basically trash it’s sad.

    If they don’t overhaul and tune every set in the game this patch or next (like most MMORPGs do on a regular basis), there’s no hope. Kinda ridiculous that Diablo 3 has better balance and itemization than a game of this scope. Also absurd is that they’ve done a broad pass only once in four years—during the monster helm guffaw.

    Patching Sload’s and only that is just a bandaid solution till the next DLC OP set comes along.

    I'm guessing VMA is too difficult for you to complete and you don't yet have a bow?

    Hoping rune cage and Overload get nerfs. Some buffs to Warden dps, buffs to magplar, and buffs to stam dk are warranted. NBs are fine, stam sorcs are fine.

    So basically

    I can’t even pretend to take your posts seriously anymore. You’re on the biggest, whiniest nerf rant I’ve ever seen on this forum aside from one person who was continually complaining about NBs though I think even that was a troll. Idk why these threads are even being allowed to remain open as you’ve made multiple posts on exactly the same topic. We get it, rune cage is OP and I’m sure it will be adjusted. But honestly it sounds like you’re gimping yourself continuously with some “code of honor” and then coming here to complain because you can’t win. Usually it’s a good indication that your own skills are lacking when you start blaming your losses on so many outside factors. If you don’t want to use cloak go heavy armor. If you want to stay in medium then learn to use cloak, which you can do with crutching on it. No one says you have to spam it and disappear every few seconds. It’s a strong skill, but it can be used effectively and within reason. You don’t have to be one of those people who cloaks from every attack or bores people by cloaking so much that they leave the fight and then send hate whispers that they’re cowards. And for *** sake, play a different *** class if you really don’t want to use cloak.

    Lol you feel better? Why did you quote my comment that had to do with wanting to nerf the Maelstrom Bow and Relequen because I find them to be a crutch for stam? That seems to be quite irrelevant to your comment.

    It would be nice if wardens finally got a buff. They've been the worst DPS class in the game since they were released while not being the best at any other role. Only 2% of endgame players use the warden class.

    Warden Buffs plzz, poor wardens have been the weakest PvE class by far since their release ove a year ago

    Wardens are a bit too strong in PvP, but too weak in PvE.

    I think a good change would be to cut the burst damage in half from Scorch, but give it a residual DoT that lasts for 10 seconds and does overall double the damage than it does currently.

    Why would you want to be less powerful? Stam crutches on MA bow because pretty much every other option sucks. Not because it is op. MA bow is fine how about we buff other things to compete with it instead of increasing the obvious disparity between Stamina and Magicka.

    Because I hate crutches. The Maelstrom bow and Relequen give the illusion of being powerful. I'm quite confident I could slot the Maelstrom bow, Relequen and Selenes and get 25k+ DPS by merely spamming light attacks while keeping up endless hail. That's just stupid.

    People should be performing well because they're competent players, not because they have sets doing all the work for them
