The Welkynar Motif is for crafting. A lot of crafters don't do hard end game content. The way you have it set up to get the motif is ridiculous and totally out of sight for a lot of crafters. It makes no sense to achieve a crafting item this way.

No worries...eventually coming to a Crown Store near you.

why slotting incap when we can slot DBoS with 125 cost and deal tons area of damage.

Equilibrium before incap. Gank no problem

Incap would be still great combined with Masters DW Bleed.
With enough Dot's you actually don't need the stun.

You can also play cloak on the frontbar and stun with surprise attack.

Biggest problem for me is the missing speed while stealth, coz vampire isn't really an option.

Damn you ZoS now I’m going to delete my MagSorc because that 20% rune cage damage nerf just completely ruined my build. Now I only have a slightly weaker ridiculous unblockable undodgeable stun that takes an eternity to break free from while a meteor crashes on my enemies face even though they have full stam to break free...

And WTF is up with the cost increase on channeled focus?! You’re supposed to be helping MagPlar sustain, not making it worse lol.

Atleast ZoS has a good track record of taking PTS feedback seriously and making timely adjustments accordingly... oh wait... crap.

I wish I could say I’m surprised but I’m really not. ZoS has been botching combat balance for years.

The issue with rune cage is that it is a 41m undodgable unblockable stun. This has no counterplay outside of constant cc immunity.

The damage was not the problem.

So basically no changes whatsoever to what the class representatives were all about. Very disapointed. Sorc sustain issue still untouched.

To be fair I’m happy about the templar changes aside the 40% damage reduction from solar barrage. Hopefuly we will see more changes for other classes before the patch goes live.

Nice this set will buff ballgrps by an insane amount , or think about ganker using this .

Thx ZOS for making such a Beautiful Set.

I don't know why people want defile nerfed so bad. Do you not remember the unkillable tanks we had for a year?

140-500 for 10 seconds (basically a 5pc set bonus equivalent with a self regulating cooldown.) It will reward saving up and using higher cost Ult's for more burst, so I'm not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic in your "Thankyou?"

Meh
-A lot of these werewolf changes are pretty stupid. A werewolf on a siege weapon? Are you serious?
-Argonians have way too much sustain (in both stam & mag!). Nerf them.
-Wardens are massively over tuned in PVP. Nerf them. Looks like u'r buffing them? Uncool.
-This Sload's Nerf isn't big enough. Not close. Super unimpressed.
-Stamsorcs don't have a Stam ultimate. For the love of christ can you give us some identity? It's been 4 years!

EXCELLENT WORK ON THE NB, SNARE & DEFILE TUNING! BRAVO!!!

Other than that dissapointed.

Forgot. The Runecage nerf is ridiculous. Who cares about it's damage?! Rework rune cage!

Good point. But I think those unkillable tanks were able to kill others because they'd reverb bash their opponents. We'll see how this shakes out.

Looks good for my bomb blade, if I ever manage to get hold of a set.

Exactly ^

Reverberating Bash helps heavy armor damage dealers kill medium and light armor builds A LOT more than it helps to kill heavy armor tanky builds.

I was expecting a class change token

One more point. We all appreciate the Cyro tuning. But this game's next evolution will come when you guys improve the game's net code. Cyro will always be a buzz kill until the performance issues are addressed. This game was apparently being worked on before Skyrim? The netcode is ancient and it is a weight around this game's neck.

Delve bosses in Cyrodiil now spawn like other Delves in Tamriel. Happy hunting!

So this means they will spawn more frequently and no longer on a fifteen-minute respawn timer for each individual boss? If so, that sounds good to me!

How to use PTS?

It's something you enable in the settings on the ESO launcher.

Click the first button in the top right of the launcher, then checkmark "Show Public Test Environment" then click Apply and the PTS should begin downloading.

Warning: the PTS is just as big as the game itself as a new download, so be ready for a wait.

Horrible change to Hircine´s Bounty.....no more needs to be said

Time to deconstruct my Pelinial gear.....

A lot more needs to be said. If you can only play with 1 set, a rework is needed. My WW heals are much better with most sets now. The real conversation is about he sloads not nerf, the zaans not nerf, and the rune prison not nerf.

Gnozo

Rune cages CC needs to be changed. The range is fine, sorc is a range class.

But the CC needs to react like the one from fossilize. Boom => CC => CC Break. Not like this:

Ehm i cant move.... Did i crashed? Oh no its rune cage CC, better break fr..... Oh hello death recap.

Change CC animation like fossilize and we can react in time and get rid of this clunky cc Animation.

a small group of people here on this forum are under the illusion that everyone else is Trash and Bad and weak and Stupid.
but the reality is we are all just normal people playing a game and deserve the right to join in on the fun and fight in cryodiil without seeing 1 guy take on 30 people and kill all of them.
those builds are overpowered and should not be able to do mass damage and at the same time survive being attacked by a group of people.
THAT is what is destroying eso and making people Quit and leave for a game that is fun for ALL not just a few!

Item Sets

• Crest of Cyrodiil: This item set has been redesigned, and its old effect has been moved to the Ward of Cyrodiil Item Set.
  • OLD:
    • 2: Weapon Damage
    • 3: Max Health
    • 4: Healing Taken
    • 5: When you deal melee damage, you apply Minor Defile to the enemy for 5 seconds, reducing their healing received by 30%. This effect can occur once every 5 seconds.
  • NEW:
    • 2: Stamina Recovery
    • 3: Max Health
    • 4: Max Health
    • 5: After successfully blocking, heal for 8000 Health. This effect can occur every 5 seconds.

This is literally the only change I'm upset about. I have a golded out set of this, now its worthless. This change is fairly upsetting.

There's a new map on the Locations list for a place called Norg-Tzel.

Is this to do with one of the new dungeons? Not sure this map should be on the Locations list.

If I can respond to hyperbole with hyperbole; I run with not much OP. Stamplar with hundings, cowards, and bloodspawn. All easy to get and cheap and not meta In medium armor, 2h and 1hshield which reverberating bash being maybe the one cheese ability or meta or whatever. I get my ass handed to me at times but lately; I have gotten a 1 v2 and have almost made 1v3 and have noticed progress.

It’s rough at times but I truly think I’m getting better the more I’m sticking close to a similar build so I know my swaps and keybinds; but the biggest might be the fact I’ve moved away from 30 man groups at times because you’re not using all your tools like that.

I really don’t think the 30 man groups need a carry. That only makes it worse for them as they’re not getting that ass whooping where they can reflect and say “man. I need to keep my HOTs/shield up better”. “I need to block this and roll dodge that “

Swamp Raider: Redesigned the 5-piece bonus from this item set.
OLD:
5: When you deal damage with a Magicka ability, your Poison and Disease Damage abilities gain an additional 450 Weapon Damage for 10 seconds.
NEW:
5: Adds 400 Weapon Damage to your Poison and Disease Damage abilities.

Seriously, when was this set ever used? And is the reason behind the remove of magicka ability so other than stam dk can use this set? In that case, there is only some bow skills that will benefit from this. No proc sets with poison dmg, enchants, alchemy poisons or status effect will get bonus dmg from this set. So it's purely ment for a dk, where buffing hail, caltrops, trap and twin slashes is higher dmg then buffing only noxious breath, ven claw and poison injection. So I really want to know the thought behind this change, mostly becaues I get impression there is limited with people and time for balance, so if you actually took your time to chance this set, it must have been on the priority list?

Like the fishing changes, and not before time either.

I'm glad that ZOS is finally focusing on real issues here: Fixed an issue where four particular chairs in the Shimmerene Waterworks could not be sat on.
Forget lag and crashes, I want to be able to sit in every chair in Nirn.

I have used Ward of Cyro set for a good long time now, it was part of the crux of my gaming experience and character in Cyrodiil. Everyone knew Uber was the first to get to a resource and hold it down, WARDING off others, the first into a breach to check the situation, the first down at a front door to start pinnacle siege. The bulldog. The one they let chase down squirrels and lock them down out in the field...

I don't know of loads of group leaders complaining about their Ward set users running about willy nilly not listening to directions because they're the fastest.

I know we're a small set of players, but literally, that set was the defining part of my PvP playstyle...and the rest of us will agree...

What did you nerf a group of sets that has been around forever for? Personally, I gave a rats arse about Sloads, I am gg enough to live through most of it in the first place.

No more ESO+ for me. No more 200$ or so a month for crates for me. Just started back up from returning from Afghanistan to get bonked in the butt again. Jodie took my golded out set and gone. Made me useless. I don't melee people to defile them, WTF guys.
