Do you think every magsorc uses crystal frags on their build? Do you think it's nice to force us to either create a build that uses frags or else we are stuck with mother's sorrow set to not rely on fragsorc (or other heavily crit based sets). Petsorcs and netchstouchsorcs are excluded. I won't use that awful recovery skill either that costs 1,2s to cast during a boss fight.

What about the other magclasses that can't access minor prophecy??

(Btw the same complain applies to stamclasses and their 3% crit nerf too)

    That ship sailed a month and a half ago.

    Best to come to terms with it now ... before another month and a half elapses and you still haven't changed your build out of spite.
    "May you walk on warm sands."
    "First, I would ask that you look to the poor and the suffering around Cyrodiil. Look into their hearts, and then look into your own."
    "May Auri-El's light guide you in your darkest hours."

    Have you tried the Treasure Hunter set? it provides major prophecy at all times while also adding up to 100 extra spell damage on the 5th piece (at the cost of being unable to use major prophecy from other sources such as potions, slotting certain abilities, etc.) It can also help manage your ability setup easier since you won't need to slot an ability such as magelight to gain major prophecy.

    Tips for how you can be an ESO Community Hero (Written and last edited by ZOS_GinaBruno at precisely 8:56PM, March 30th 2014.)
    Below are a few recommendations and tips to help you become one of the very best community members — a veritable hero — on The Elder Scrolls Online official community forums. These recommendations and tips also reflect the ESO core community philosophies.
    • Agree to Disagree: We have a very diverse community of individuals and groups who have a variety of interests, opinions, and backgrounds. Just like in every-day life, you will not agree with all the opinions you encounter here, and that’s okay. It’s perfectly acceptable to disagree, but please do not put other people down for their opinions, ideas, or suggestions. In most discussions, there is no right or wrong, just different angles, opinions, and interests.
    • Be Civil and Respectful: Being civil and respectful goes a long way, especially when involved in a heated debate. It is possible to be civil and respectful, even when you strongly disagree with someone. Please remember that everyone on these forums is a real person, like you, who is also here because they love The Elder Scrolls Online and want to talk about it.
    • Enjoy Yourself: Have fun, start interesting discussions, and participate in the community activities and discussions that excite you! You, our fans, set the tone and culture of this community. We’re here to listen, help, and foster that growing culture. We want you do enjoy being here as much as we enjoy having you!
    • Ignore Baiting: Sometimes, another community member will attempt to bait you into a response. Usually, this is to elicit some sort of negative or emotional reaction. Please try your best to recognize when this is happening, and ignore it. You may also report it to the ESO Team if the post or thread is violating our Code of Conduct.
    • Post in the Appropriate Area: Please do your best to post threads in the correct area of the forums. We will move any threads that are posted in the incorrect area, and leave an expiring redirect attached to them. We understand that everyone wants their thread to be seen and gets replies — posting them in the proper section is the best way to make sure that happens.
    • Report Violations: If you notice that another community member is violating our Code of Conduct, please report the post and leave it at that. Do not reply, try to correct their behavior yourself, or tell them that you reported them. We understand that our community members are generally just trying to be helpful when they do these things, but they only serve to exacerbate the issue more often than not.
    • Share Constructive Criticism: We want to hear your thoughts and feedback on The Elder Scrolls Online, negative and positive alike. Please consider how you are posting criticism. If you want to share suggestions or constructive criticism about The Elder Scrolls Online, please tell us about it. It is possible to be negative, respectful, and constructive at the same time. When submitting feedback, consider whether or not what you’re posting will be something the Dev Team can use to turn into real change — constructive negative feedback can be a powerful tool to help us improve the game. Remember, we really do want your feedback!
    • Use the Search Function: Please help us keep discussions as consolidated as possible by using the search function before you create a thread. This will help you to identify if there is already an ongoing discussion about the topic you’re interested in talking about.
    • Welcome New Community Members: Please remember that we were all new in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community at one time. Help us foster a welcoming and safe community by being helpful, kind, and considerate to those who are new to our community.
    • When in Doubt, Ask: If you’re unsure whether or not something is acceptable post or thread material for the official The Elder Scrolls Online community, please feel free to ask a moderator or member of the ESO Team. Simply send us a message — we’re here to help!

    Eso Forum Community Rules. (Adhere to it at all times.)
    Below is a brief explanation of the community rules and expectations for specific topics and situations. If you have any questions about the Community Code of Conduct, please email The Elder Scrolls Online Team at [email protected]
    Abusive Language and Disruptive Behavior: Zenimax do not tolerate abusive language or disruptive behavior on our forums. This goes for abusive and disruptive comments and behavior that are directed at a ZeniMax Online employee and ESO community members alike. Please remember to be respectful and constructive at all times on the forums, and help Zenimax maintain a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all.
    • Advertising: We do not allow advertising on our forums. This includes, but is not limited to advertisements and promotions for the following:
      • Outside businesses and services.
      • Other games.
      • Any venture that results in monetary profit.
      We do not consider the promotion of guilds, fan sites, and fan groups, or the activities and content thereof, to be advertising. Please feel free to let The Elder Scrolls Online community know all about your guild, fan site, or fan group! Simply keep in mind that you may not promote your guild, fan site, or fan group if you are looking to turn a monetary profit by doing so.
      • Bashing and Slanderous Comments: We do not permit the bashing of individuals (including ZeniMax employees), groups, or other companies on our forums. We believe that doing so is neither constructive nor in spirit of our game and community.
      • Conspiracy Theories and Misinformation: We do not tolerate the deliberate and malicious spreading of false info or conspiracy theories about ZeniMax Online Studios, its game(s), or its employees. This does not include honest mistakes; rather, this rule pertains to those who go out of their way to spread harmful or malicious rumors about ZeniMax Online Studios and its employees, or The Elder Scrolls Online.
      • Copyright Infringement: Names and Material: We do not allow copyright-protected names on our forums. Copyright-protected names are typically from well-known original characters in books, games, and movies. We also do not permit discussion about the illegal distribution or use of copyrighted material, such as private game servers or pirated movies, music, and games.
      • Cursing and Profanity: Purposefully circumventing our forum profanity filter or otherwise cursing or using profanity is not permitted on our forums. Our forums have a profanity filter in place for the purpose of keeping profanity off our forums — please help us keep the ESO community constructive and profanity-free by respecting that filter.
      • Demands and Threats: We encourage you to share feedback, suggestion, and requests with us, but we expect all of our community members to refrain from resorting to demands or threats. We believe that demands and threats are not constructive. Threats of real-life violence, in particular, are something we take very seriously and do not tolerate in the ESO community.
      • Deliberately Disobeying a ZeniMax Online Employee: Deliberately disobeying a request or action by a member of the ZeniMax Online Studios/ESO Team is not permitted at any time. As an example, if we close a thread you created and leave an explanation stating why it was closed, you may not re-create the thread.
      • Discussing Disciplinary Actions: If you ever have questions or concerns about a disciplinary action or decision we have made on the ESO forums, or wish to appeal a forum warning or infraction you’ve received, we ask that you please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to do so (please specify that you are contacting about a forum-related inquiry or appeal). We are happy to discuss and review specific moderation-related actions with you, but we do not allow discussion of any moderation actions or decisions on our forums. If you have questions or concerns about an in-game disciplinary action, please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to ask about a suspension or ban, and any other support-related feedback. We cannot assist with in-game violations on the forums.
      • Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.
      • Goodbye/Quitting Threads: We understand that sometimes people will leave the ESO community, and want to post a “goodbye” or “quitting” thread. Generally, we have found that “goodbye” and “quitting” threads have a tendency to go downhill fast. It is our policy to read the feedback in “goodbye” and “quitting” threads and close them, regardless of whether they are constructive or not.
      • Hate Speech: We take the use of hate speech very seriously in the official ESO community, and have a zero tolerance policy. Our definition of hate speech is prejudice or hateful comments, slurs, or statements that promote violence or intolerance toward others because of the following:
        • Race.
        • Creed.
        • Color.
        • National Origin.
        • Gender.
        • Age.
        • Disability.
        • Sexual Orientation.
        • Lifestyle.
        • Any other personally identifying factors.
        Please help us ensure that everyone feels welcome and free to participate on the official ESO community forums.
      • Impersonation: We do not tolerate impersonation of any kind in the official ESO community, and take impersonation attempts very seriously when they do occur. Impersonation includes using a display name, photos, posts, or any other material with the intent to fool people into believing you are a ZeniMax Online Studios employee, another community member, a celebrity, or anyone else you are not.
      • Inappropriate Content and Language: Certain topics and subjects are deemed inappropriate and not permitted on the official ESO forums. Things that we consider inappropriate are usually illegal, extremely volatile or violent, obscene, vulgar, or simply inappropriate for an official game forum such as ours. Inappropriate content on the ESO forums includes, but is not limited to the following:
        • Extreme violence
        • Illegal substances and activities
        • Pirated copyright-protected material
        • Pornography and other sexually explicit topics
        • Real-world religion and politics
        • Tasteless, vulgar, or obscene material
        One specific term we’d like to call out, as well, is the term “gay.” It is never appropriate to use “gay” as a derogatory term.
      • Malicious Links: We do not tolerate the posting of malicious links on our forums, for any reason. This includes links to pornographic material, key-loggers, and browser hijackers, but also includes links to private game server sites, phishing scams, and sites that sell in-game currencies and power-leveling services.
        We greatly appreciate when our community members wish to report a harmful or misleading ESO-related site to us, but please do not do so on the official ESO forums. If you discover a site you want to report to us, please report them at https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/.
      • Names in Thread Titles: Please refrain from placing the names of ZeniMax Online Studios employees or ESO community members in your thread titles. Directing a thread at a specific individual, or otherwise using a thread to call someone out, is not considered constructive. If you need to get a hold of a specific community member, please send them a private message.
      • Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.
      • Personal Information: For the sake of your own identity protection and personal privacy, we ask that you please do not share any personal information in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. This also goes for sharing another community member’s personal information — doing so is not only considered malicious behavior, but it is a violation of our Terms of Service and something we take very seriously.
      • Petitions and Protests: We do not allow petitions or protests on our forums. Due to the fact that both promote the use of demands and replies that consist of “/signed” or little else, we feel that neither encourage nor allow for meaningful and constructive discussion. Instead of using a petition or protest, we recommend presenting your thoughts as a request or suggestion so everyone in the community can discuss it.
      • Role-Play/Fan Fiction God Modding: We support the fan fiction and role-playing communities on the ESO forum, and ask that you please respect your fellow writers and role-players by not “god modding.” God modding is the act of forcing another community member’s character into a situation they have not agreed to. If you wish to involve another person's character in a story or role-play scenario, please respect that individual’s wishes and get their permission first. Failure to do so is considered “god modding,” and is not allowed on the ESO forums.
      • Rude and Insulting Comments/Commentary: We understand that sometimes tempers rise, but it is never acceptable to resort to rude comments and insults. This goes for rude comments and insults directed at other community members, and ZeniMax Online Studios employees alike.
      • Selling, Trading, and Sharing Game Accounts: The act of selling, trading, or sharing your ESO account is a violation of our Terms of Service. As such, we also do not allow discussion about selling, trading, or sharing game accounts on our forums.
      • Spamming: Please do not post spam on the official The Elder Scrolls Online forums. Below are a few examples of what we define as spamming:
        • Posting the same message more than once.
        • Posting messages that are nonsensical or have no real content.
        • Posting messages or images large enough to disrupt the normal flow of conversation.
        • Reposting material that has been removed by a member of the ESO Team.
        Also, please refrain from posting the same topic in multiple areas of the forum, or cross-posting in an attempt to gain further views or replies. This is considered spamming, and the duplicate threads will be removed.
      • Thread Bumping: Please refrain from replying to discussion threads for the sole purpose of “bumping” them. This is considered to be a form of spam because it does not add to the discussion in a constructive or meaningful way. We understand that everyone would like to keep their discussion active and visible, but we encourage you to strive for meaningful and constructive posts instead of posts that consist of nothing more than “Bump!”
      • Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

    He's talking MINOR Prophecy, from the Exploitation passive, unique to sorcs.

    I already slot inner light, since it gives me 7% max magicka and 2% magicka recovery. I know about this set but I prefer other sets lol

    inner light(major prophecy) + netch's touch(bonus to spell critical) + destruction mastery (bonus to spell critical) + slimecraw (every piece from every set is golden, except jewelry, slimecraw also gives spell critical) = 50% spell critical. If I replace destruction mastery for julianos, it won't do much either. My staff is infused and I won't change that since I love proccing shock dmg glyph, and my mundus is lover (and I won't change to thief since I hate Spell Erosion CP because it's so costly, investing on other things on CP is much better than wasting dozens of points there to increase 1%).

    I know, but have you actually considered the combination of the two for enhanced crit'ability? (Because I have along with the calculus of Spell precision, Treasure Hunter, minor & major Prophecy and more.)

This does not include honest mistakes; rather, this rule pertains to those who go out of their way to spread harmful or malicious rumors about ZeniMax Online Studios and its employees, or The Elder Scrolls Online.
      • Copyright Infringement: Names and Material: We do not allow copyright-protected names on our forums. Copyright-protected names are typically from well-known original characters in books, games, and movies. We also do not permit discussion about the illegal distribution or use of copyrighted material, such as private game servers or pirated movies, music, and games.
      • Cursing and Profanity: Purposefully circumventing our forum profanity filter or otherwise cursing or using profanity is not permitted on our forums. Our forums have a profanity filter in place for the purpose of keeping profanity off our forums — please help us keep the ESO community constructive and profanity-free by respecting that filter.
      • Demands and Threats: We encourage you to share feedback, suggestion, and requests with us, but we expect all of our community members to refrain from resorting to demands or threats. We believe that demands and threats are not constructive. Threats of real-life violence, in particular, are something we take very seriously and do not tolerate in the ESO community.
      • Deliberately Disobeying a ZeniMax Online Employee: Deliberately disobeying a request or action by a member of the ZeniMax Online Studios/ESO Team is not permitted at any time. As an example, if we close a thread you created and leave an explanation stating why it was closed, you may not re-create the thread.
      • Discussing Disciplinary Actions: If you ever have questions or concerns about a disciplinary action or decision we have made on the ESO forums, or wish to appeal a forum warning or infraction you’ve received, we ask that you please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to do so (please specify that you are contacting about a forum-related inquiry or appeal). We are happy to discuss and review specific moderation-related actions with you, but we do not allow discussion of any moderation actions or decisions on our forums. If you have questions or concerns about an in-game disciplinary action, please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to ask about a suspension or ban, and any other support-related feedback. We cannot assist with in-game violations on the forums.
      • Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.
      • Goodbye/Quitting Threads: We understand that sometimes people will leave the ESO community, and want to post a “goodbye” or “quitting” thread. Generally, we have found that “goodbye” and “quitting” threads have a tendency to go downhill fast. It is our policy to read the feedback in “goodbye” and “quitting” threads and close them, regardless of whether they are constructive or not.
      • Hate Speech: We take the use of hate speech very seriously in the official ESO community, and have a zero tolerance policy. Our definition of hate speech is prejudice or hateful comments, slurs, or statements that promote violence or intolerance toward others because of the following:
        • Race.
        • Creed.
        • Color.
        • National Origin.
        • Gender.
        • Age.
        • Disability.
        • Sexual Orientation.
        • Lifestyle.
        • Any other personally identifying factors.
        Please help us ensure that everyone feels welcome and free to participate on the official ESO community forums.
      • Impersonation: We do not tolerate impersonation of any kind in the official ESO community, and take impersonation attempts very seriously when they do occur. Impersonation includes using a display name, photos, posts, or any other material with the intent to fool people into believing you are a ZeniMax Online Studios employee, another community member, a celebrity, or anyone else you are not.
      • Inappropriate Content and Language: Certain topics and subjects are deemed inappropriate and not permitted on the official ESO forums. Things that we consider inappropriate are usually illegal, extremely volatile or violent, obscene, vulgar, or simply inappropriate for an official game forum such as ours. Inappropriate content on the ESO forums includes, but is not limited to the following:
        • Extreme violence
        • Illegal substances and activities
        • Pirated copyright-protected material
        • Pornography and other sexually explicit topics
        • Real-world religion and politics
        • Tasteless, vulgar, or obscene material
        One specific term we’d like to call out, as well, is the term “gay.” It is never appropriate to use “gay” as a derogatory term.
      • Malicious Links: We do not tolerate the posting of malicious links on our forums, for any reason. This includes links to pornographic material, key-loggers, and browser hijackers, but also includes links to private game server sites, phishing scams, and sites that sell in-game currencies and power-leveling services.
        We greatly appreciate when our community members wish to report a harmful or misleading ESO-related site to us, but please do not do so on the official ESO forums. If you discover a site you want to report to us, please report them at https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/.
      • Names in Thread Titles: Please refrain from placing the names of ZeniMax Online Studios employees or ESO community members in your thread titles. Directing a thread at a specific individual, or otherwise using a thread to call someone out, is not considered constructive. If you need to get a hold of a specific community member, please send them a private message.
      • Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.
      • Personal Information: For the sake of your own identity protection and personal privacy, we ask that you please do not share any personal information in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. This also goes for sharing another community member’s personal information — doing so is not only considered malicious behavior, but it is a violation of our Terms of Service and something we take very seriously.
      • Petitions and Protests: We do not allow petitions or protests on our forums. Due to the fact that both promote the use of demands and replies that consist of “/signed” or little else, we feel that neither encourage nor allow for meaningful and constructive discussion. Instead of using a petition or protest, we recommend presenting your thoughts as a request or suggestion so everyone in the community can discuss it.
      • Role-Play/Fan Fiction God Modding: We support the fan fiction and role-playing communities on the ESO forum, and ask that you please respect your fellow writers and role-players by not “god modding.” God modding is the act of forcing another community member’s character into a situation they have not agreed to. If you wish to involve another person's character in a story or role-play scenario, please respect that individual’s wishes and get their permission first. Failure to do so is considered “god modding,” and is not allowed on the ESO forums.
      • Rude and Insulting Comments/Commentary: We understand that sometimes tempers rise, but it is never acceptable to resort to rude comments and insults. This goes for rude comments and insults directed at other community members, and ZeniMax Online Studios employees alike.
      • Selling, Trading, and Sharing Game Accounts: The act of selling, trading, or sharing your ESO account is a violation of our Terms of Service. As such, we also do not allow discussion about selling, trading, or sharing game accounts on our forums.
      • Spamming: Please do not post spam on the official The Elder Scrolls Online forums. Below are a few examples of what we define as spamming:
        • Posting the same message more than once.
        • Posting messages that are nonsensical or have no real content.
        • Posting messages or images large enough to disrupt the normal flow of conversation.
        • Reposting material that has been removed by a member of the ESO Team.
        Also, please refrain from posting the same topic in multiple areas of the forum, or cross-posting in an attempt to gain further views or replies. This is considered spamming, and the duplicate threads will be removed.
      • Thread Bumping: Please refrain from replying to discussion threads for the sole purpose of “bumping” them. This is considered to be a form of spam because it does not add to the discussion in a constructive or meaningful way. We understand that everyone would like to keep their discussion active and visible, but we encourage you to strive for meaningful and constructive posts instead of posts that consist of nothing more than “Bump!”
      • Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

    Have you tried the Treasure Hunter set? it provides major prophecy at all times while also adding up to 100 extra spell damage on the 5th piece (at the cost of being unable to use major prophecy from other sources such as potions, slotting certain abilities, etc.) It can also help manage your ability setup easier since you won't need to slot an ability such as magelight to gain major prophecy.

    He's talking MINOR Prophecy, from the Exploitation passive, unique to sorcs.

    I know, but have you actually considered the combination of the two for enhanced crit'ability? (Because I have along with the calculus of Spell precision, Treasure Hunter, minor & major Prophecy and more.)

    I already slot inner light, since it gives me 7% max magicka and 2% magicka recovery. I know about this set but I prefer other sets lol

    inner light(major prophecy) + netch's touch(bonus to spell critical) + destruction mastery (bonus to spell critical) + slimecraw (every piece from every set is golden, except jewelry, slimecraw also gives spell critical) = 50% spell critical. If I replace destruction mastery for julianos, it won't do much either. My staff is infused and I won't change that since I love proccing shock dmg glyph, and my mundus is lover (and I won't change to thief since I hate Spell Erosion CP because it's so costly, investing on other things on CP is much better than wasting dozens of points there to increase 1%).

    Interesting Acquisition of knowledge.

    I invest 7 points on Spell Erosion because I wear infused on big pieces that won't give me full Lover mundus bonus, since infused gives "more" than divines on bigger pieces, already did the math comparing everything, infused on bigger pieces gives more dmg, if you invest many points on Spell Erosion you will lose dps. So divines on small pieces with Lover + 7 points on spell erosion will give enough spell penetration. If I had access to 6% spell critical from minor prophecy i'd be set. but ZOS ruined my life.

    WHo did this on their develop team? oh so every dungeon you go there's a magsorc?? what if it's a stamsorc that is the other dps? dark magic tree is such a *** tree we should gain minor prophecy from using Storm Calling or Daedric Summoning abilities that are much more rounded for both stam and mag sorcs, dps or tank. they literally bound minor prophecy to frags since every other skill from that tree isn't good for a dps rotation, no good for dungeon. dark magic is not good if you are tanksorc either.

    do you know that there's lightning based builds (netch's touch) and pet builds, light atk/heavy atk builds that won't proc frags either right? there's a mandatory major sorcery skill (surge or entropy), major prophecy from inner light, magshield, bound aegis if you like to min/max.

    not everyone likes to slot that bland-cheap-a$$ force pulse skill and frags combo, since force pulse procs frags easily.

    Why should you expect all builds to get access to all the same buffs?
    3% spell critical does not make or break a build. This update will already giving 5% more spell damage, as long there is a Templar in your group to balance it out.
    Netch's Touch is a bad set. BSW, Spell Strategist, even Julianos beats it in raw DPS.

    Well if you want to look at it how it actually happened - all builds outside of group play got nerfs - this wasn't just a nice buff, ZOS stole this 3% from the 2 stars in the CP related to Weapon/Spell Critical... they were each nerfed from 12% to 9%. Also 3% is not always small...3% Spell Critical can account for 1-3k DPS depending - that's a huge hit. You are trying to play this off as a buff - but it's not, it's a half-handed nerf and redistribution of the critical to groups only.

    You shouldn't HAVE to be grouped up in the game to mitigate blatant nerfs, in my opinon. I play a Mag DK and we already have severe limits on our DPS abilities compared to other classes - any % lost is a huge nerf for us... there's only so much I can do to boost my DPS and now I've just lost 3% crit straight up, on my build that's result in ~1.8k less damage from my rotation overall.

    Just a fun fact but even with all Divines on everything + Thieves Stone you still couldn't get back that 3%. That 3% literally holds more weight than the entire Divines trait, period. That should say something considering virtually everybody tries to work in 4pc. Divines for that 1% bonus they get for 4 pieces...

    This game never used to force grouping down people's throat at all times, only when it was necessary (i.e. dungeons) - in fact this game was always great for respecting people's wishes to play solo and not have to suffer hugely. We can PVP solo, we can play 99% of the game solo - but now we're going to suffer nerfs for "group" synergy even though we all know groups are gonna stay largely the same split they are now anyway - the only that changes is that now the people nerfed have to rely on somebody else to give them their stats back. That's literally the only change.

    When you say "why should all builds get access to the same buff?" The answer is simple - it wasn't a buff. They took away CP that benefited 100% of all players, and gave it to specific classes which will benefit 100% of the time - but the other 80% of people who once had those buffs from CP are now screwed unless they group up. It was a buff to nobody, and a nerf to 80% of people. Plain and simple.

    Yeah, pet sorc don't run frags.

    flappy, imp, d-touch, bound aegis, prey -- atro
    flappy, imp, wrath, blockade, liquid lightning -- destro ult

    this is not unusual.

    force pulse doesn't proc frags any more or less than any other skill, but heavy attack max magicka builds like pet sorcs won't be spamming skills enough to make slotting frags worthwhile. Because they are heavy attack focused dark deal is also out.

It was a buff to nobody, and a nerf to 80% of people. Plain and simple.

    For 3% spell critical loss to be 1-3k loss, you need to be doing 50k-150k without it. They will obviously steal power away from the CP system to keep things in balance. Unlike unscaled level system, the problem with scaled levelling and horizontal progression is power creep will keep making everything easier. You are getting 30 CP every patch, It gives far more to DPS, sustain and survivability than 3% spell crit. The result is that people are now able to previously unthinkable things, like clearing vMA naked or clearing vMA without a single skill on bar.
    No, you are wrong about ESO never trying to enforce grouping. They tried that with Craglorn, they tried that with IC and they tried to sneakily enforce it quite a few times. This is probably one of the few things, they did right this patch by giving you added bonuses for grouping and returning power to the classes' support system from CP.

    Thank you for that. I actually run a pet sorc. My bars look like this-

    Inner light- scamp- matriarch- deadric prey- crystal frags- ulti destro ulti

    Power surge- scamp- matriarch- lightning flood- unstable blockade, ulti atro

    You only need to proc frags once every 20 seconds and since I run a 6 second rotation, that is easy to maintain. Don't really see why you need drestro touch on the front bar. Pretty bad dps skill.

    As far as I know force pulse counts as 3 hits and it is 3 times easier to proc frags. Or was that just a myth?

    what do your bars look like that you cant slot frags?

    do you know that there's lightning based builds (netch's touch) and pet builds, light atk/heavy atk builds that won't proc frags either right? there's a mandatory major sorcery skill (surge or entropy), major prophecy from inner light, magshield, bound aegis if you like to min/max.

    not everyone likes to slot that bland-cheap-a$$ force pulse skill and frags combo, since force pulse procs frags easily.

    I asked a simple question, please answer.

    Yeah, pet sorc don't run frags.

    flappy, imp, d-touch, bound aegis, prey -- atro
    flappy, imp, wrath, blockade, liquid lightning -- destro ult

    FP does counts as 3 hit for damage sets but only it is only one cast, not 3. so no more or less frag procs then any other skill.

    Thank you for that. I actually run a pet sorc. My bars look like this-

    Inner light- scamp- matriarch- deadric prey- crystal frags- ulti destro ulti

    Power surge- scamp- matriarch- lightning flood- unstable blockade, ulti atro

    You only need to proc frags once every 20 seconds and since I run a 6 second rotation, that is easy to maintain. Don't really see why you need drestro touch on the front bar. Pretty bad dps skill.

    I won't give you my build if that's what you are asking. Good luck on finding yours on YouTube lol

    You are super aggressive for no reason. Seek out therapy.

    Assuming you heavy attack every rotation, try slotting clench. Hit clench while also holding heavy attack. Clench will pop off at the end of heavy attack, bar swap and continue the rotation. You will be surprised at how much more dps you will get by swapping out frags for clench.

    Thank you for the protip but I get ~35k, with almost no weaving. That is enough for me and better then 87% of the DPS I meet in the group finder. With my rotation on my pet sorc, which is by far the easiest of the 7 DPS I have, I do just fine.
