Well, you can wear a crappy 5pc now to get your minor maim. Or be a Nightblade and just cast Dark Image. Choose wisely.
Or use that fail coded Elemental weapons. It has like a 70% chance to proc chill and only a 20% chance to proc burning and 10% to proc concussion. This is not made up, elemental weapon almost exclusively procs the frost effects. Which is why it's so trashy from a dps perspective.
@Dracane did you test this? This would actually make it very interesting for my frostmage build and root uptime!
@Feanor
Yes, I promise you this is true. I am using elemental weapons since Summerset came out. I can asure you it procs mostly chilled and rarely burning or almost never concussed.Edited by Dracane on August 6, 2018 5:56PMAuri-El is my lord,

JPcrazysquirrel3✭✭✭✭Well, I guess one person QQing about Wizard's Riposte was enough for ZOS to nerf it into the ground?
There goes the only defensive option a light armor magplar had.
Guess it's time to be that guy and wear Sload's in heavy impen, since no proper nerf has been given for it.

✭✭✭✭✭@Feanor You may think it's just rng or bad luck. But no, all tests are the same.
As you can see, 27 chill procs, 13 burning procs (each burning proc does 3 damage ticks which results in 33 instances. Still only 13 procs) and merely 9 concussion procs. And I got really lucky with the burning procs here. Chill is always almost twice the amount of burning and shock. The result vs players is the same.

You think
You will be surprised how many tests I have made.
You can never be immune to elemental weapons. No matter how much frost resistance you have, you will still get chilled 100% of the time and also, elemental weapons is the only thing in the game that can simply proc its elemental status effects on damage shields.
You can also set Dunmer on fire for that matter.Edited by Dracane on August 6, 2018 6:20PMAuri-El is my lord,

Jamdarius✭✭✭✭✭How about this: When mag DK is using Reflective Plate and shoots back the missile type sorc shoot at him still gets caught in defensive rune, it makes no sense to be punished like that with our costly skill... 3,5k magicka wasted just so we can get caught in another kind of CC... The balance in PvP is not existing at all, you can try fixing all you want it will still be a mess and will take years before you can fix it at this speed...2 -
NBrookus✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭100% uptime on a backbar set was pretty broken, and in a large fight the long duration guarenteed you basically ended up with minor maim all the time unless you could pick up a purge or. For those who double-bar the set, it will still be up near 100% while in combat. It's a fair change.
That said, I think a better change for this set would be to have the 5 sec duration AND give it a cooldown, but have it proc Major Maim. This would be a great set for templars who have trouble switching defense to offense. When the set procs, you have an opening of hugely reduced damage during which you can pressure your opponent.1 -

✭Rune Cage still need to be reduced down to 3s duration. Any target caught without stamina with 5s hard cc is guarantee free kill. Which means you can drop 2-3 rune cage on magicka users and on that second or third reapply they are done. Hardly balanced gameplay.
Don't run out of stamina.7 -

With that logic, sorcs waste magicka every time they cast a shield, which is at least every 6 seconds. Costly skill? Lol, healing and harness cost around 4k and hardened ward costs around 3k, so if you're only running 2, you're spending about 7k magicka just to not die. If you don't think Wings is good, then don't use it. The skill is already cancerous to fight against, so the less people running it, the better.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Nice changes on Riposte and Durok's Bane. Now if we can just nerf Sload into oblivion (no pun intended) things are starting to look good next patch.
I was running with sload for some time on live. Even in current state it's weak set, won't go back to it. It was good only to finish 2% hp MagSorcs that haven't used any type of healing beside of healing ward. That's all (I don't count pulling out of stealth as it is bug... and just because of it being fixed more than a half of the sload users will drop this set). So yup, nerf it to the ground it was bad anyway and soon meta will shift somewhere else...Say no to Toxic Casuals!
I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.
"Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter.

No, not every stam uses dual wield or let me clarify. Despite lethal arrow, bow builds need a small buff.0 -
mikey_reach✭✭✭The Riposte nerf has me worried. This is just going to push more light armor players back into heavy armor. Being in heavy means we are going to need to rely more on procs to get our damage, since we lose penetration and crit and have to build more sustain. This is just another example of a well-intentioned change to a source of defense that was considered to be overperforming, whose end result will simply be even more tanky players getting kills with Sload's/Caluurion's/Skoria/etc. Great job ZOS.
Only the people that are bad at wearing light armor will go back to heavy. Ive never used reposte and i have no problem surviving in light armor on my magden, magnb, or mag sorc. Cant really speak for the other clases though.0 -

Saturn✭✭✭✭✭
✭Does the change to Rune Cage mean that we can expect things like Petrify to become dodgeable as well? I still don't understand the Rune Cage outrage, and I'd be a bit annoyed if DKs were negatively affected by this change as well. I think having a strong counter to dodge-roll spammers is important, since otherwise those builds will become out of control again.
Also, I wish you'd reverse your decision to make Steel Tornado undodgeable. I think it's way too powerful for that. Just look at the vast majority of stam builds right now, they're using it..
I don't actually mind the fact that your active dodgeroll can counter stuns, but my problem lies with the passive dodge that abilities like Evasion gives you. The reason why I think it's bad, is because you don't have to do anything but activate the ability and suddenly you just completely negate the damage of attacks without actively doing anything.Edited by Saturn on August 6, 2018 7:23PM1 -
