If you could altar or change one skill then what would you do?

Jaimeh

I miss the stun component of frags and spears, I still sometimes half-expect them to stun when I cast them. Meanwhine, the NPCs' frags still stun...

Bring back DK old Standart of MIght (unnerfed).

2) Revert Arctic Blast Murkmire changes - ZOS broke the skill, it got removed from pretty much every Warden's skill bar
3) Reintroduce Blinding Flashes - this skill and the mechanics rewarded skillful play, despite never playing templar I'm sad it is gone

2) Did any Warden even use this morph except for Roleplaying Ice Mage ?

Any warden tank worth their salt would have had this on their bar not for the heal but for the utility it gave this skill helped a lot to provide minor maim and this was more important than the heal or damage numbers it gave they was just nice extras and let’s face it how many skills give one thing and another extra thing to the skill

Dps should have been running this for the minor main as well as, reducing the damage they take should have been important to them

Healers would have looked at polar but ultimately picked arctic because healers would use green balance skills for healing and artic for the maim

So yes wardens used it and they all loved what it provided, chilled proc for minor maim is what mattered the heal and damage was the bonus

Can a health build abuse this in PvP yes they could but zos could have just fixed that instead and put that stupid ridiculous stun on a animal skill where it matters not for a tanking skill line

So I guess I would want the real arctic blast back

I never got to use DK's in their pre 1.6 or whatever stage. I started with an Altmer NB using DW and that was tough. I had no idea what I was doing. I had SPARKS on my bar...

O.o what was that?

LOL. Nearby enemies had a chance to miss and be set off balance for a few seconds. Radiant execute replaced it.

Good skill but did not work on bosses.

Second choice to change a skill would be to revert the recent shield change and just add a 4 second debuff where the next shield would double in cost if used in that time. Like sorc blink.

That would make us use shields more tactically. The current change did not effectively change shields, just make them weaker. Zos forgets where they have found success previously.

Would be nice to see more tatical usage of shields.

@Tasear What skill would you choose?

FrancisCrawford

Sorcerer: Single-bar sorcerer pets. The class is BORING with so few skill slots, and it was my main class for most of the time I played ESO.

Magblade: Revert multiple changes to Funnel Health so that it's overpowered again. (Every spec has one or more overpowered DPS skills; the game is balanced around that.) That gives magblade an identity other than stealth, and I prefer stealth on my stamblade.

Stamblade: Give Surprise Attack the same stealth speed buff as Concealed Weapon, so that you don't have to abandon most DPS builds to play a thief.

Magden: Change Glacial Presence, which is rather weak in its current form, so that it changes all or most damage to ice. That would buff DPS -- because of Piercing Cold -- and class flavor alike.

Abigail

Ungimp Crystal Frags. The RNG is a horrible idea.

Well and maybe you want a coffee with your killer blade, idk if you know but all crying people in forum about pve, affect pvp a lot. Stamblade don't need any up just need nerf at all.

Nightblades were fine. Other classes needed buffs. Crying for nerfs and we'll all end up with less sustain, less damage, more proc sets and even fewer players.

Of course this skill is really important for non zerger pvp player

ESO_Nightingale

Well im going to assume this means a skill line (base skill plus 2 morphs)

1: make old arctic blast the base skill(arctic wind) so that polar wind inherits that useful maim proc chance for chilled and polar wind becomes the defacto tank morph.

2:I would then remove that tank heal from arctic blast and add back a magicka and spell damage scaling version of old blasts damage. I would then make the frost projectile also do either damage or apply the same aoe field but around the enemy too making it a unique and fun skill for both pvp and pve.

No-one likes this new useless skill. This has been made absolutely clear and ZOS was very lazy and brainless with the change.

This means that tanks will be able to support an ally with a heal while also proccing chilled on enemies nearby. So that they get more value out of a skill that costs that much.

It also means that magden will have a 5th dps skill that is actually useful along with a class stun that makes them more viable in pvp rather than being a cc bot in groups.

Hmm negate...if it could actually negate things if you had good timing using skill.

Or

Twlight Maritach instead of passive damage increase the chance of concussion to eniemies by 200%

Then again...

Overload - work with mend wounds skill again and cost ultimate to heal

Power overload - trade ultimate for some sort of supportive skill. How about skill to impower pets

Aggro fire - wish it need more then taunt. The synergy is meh in usage and to look at.

Quick siphon - Adds health regain to allies and slight speed buff

The other morph to combat prayer - gives minor courage. give variations to healers

Need more elements of damage and gameplay options in dungeons for me to think of more.

Gandrhulf_Harbard

I'd give the Skill-Designers some degree of Skill.

That way we may all benefit.

Before radiant destruction was turned into jesus beam it was looking like that

Ash_In_My_Sujamma

Increase the damage and the range of crescent sweep so it can feel more like an ultimate ability. Or make a Nova morph centered to and move with the caster like a perma or destro ulti.

kypranb14_ESO

If I could change one skill, I'd revert Shrewd Offering to Malefic Wreath.

I'd leave Healthy offering as it is.

Juhasow

If I could change something I would add drawback on every skill or playstyle that benefits user who is relying on brainless spam. There is too many abilities and playstyles like that atm.

I want the old Inferno back.

You have great ideas. One of the things I think is overlooked is how support roles can buff the group more efficiently without gimping another equalily important focus. If healers and tanks are going to be referenced as a goal to increace viability, than there should be changes that reflect that in a more obvious and encouraging manor. For example, if there is a situation where 3 dps and a healer/tank can clear content in a more effective and logical strategy, than the focus of utilizing the intended roles should reflect that. It seems that this has been over looked in my opinion on the forums at least.

NB cloak needs a cooldown timer......they shouldn't be able to be invisible 100% of the time.....80% of the time should be more than sufficient.

I have been pvp healing more and I say design is definitely an issue. There's so many more ways you can support allies in pvp. Ever use sliver leash and pull player into negate then follow up with timestop. Yeah there's just more dynamic encounters. Dungeons are too much brute Force now. Why do DPS take on what used to be one shots? Why can dps self heal through ambiment damage without much of a dps lost?

Sorry let me phrase it better. Why don't current counter play options work for you. In what situations do you feel at a disadvantage. I ask to understand your situation more instead of just assuming.

dude that is hella rude.

I would like to change a NB cloak morph, making it a toggle that only works outside of combat but can't be interrupted.
