Dragon Knight and Sorcs No longer have a damage migration

✭✭✭✭✭
Light's Champion (morph): This ability no longer grants Major Protection. In adjustment to this morph, the duration of the Major Force granted will now increase by 1 second for each rank of the morph, going from a duration of 5 seconds to 8 seconds at Rank IV.
Major Protection and Major Maim on that is option on Warden, Templar, Nightblade gives them defensive option that affects 12 people while light's champion didn't do that because it's old duration at least it game them knock off option now they don't have migration option. This is especially worst with dragon knight healers whose defensive class ultimate has extremely small range and doesn't even compare.
Please consider giving the other morph major protection.

Previously, this Ultimate felt like it did the job of both morphs of the base ability, Panacea, too well since it offered both offensive and defensive power. Now, Life Giver will continue to cover raw defensive power with more healing potential, while Light's Champion focuses more on offensive power with the Major Force. -

I am saying the raw defensive power is useless compared to major protection. That's the reason we never used other morph. -
Olupajmibanan✭✭✭✭✭
✭If they wanted one morph to be offensive and one defensive, they should have moved major protection to Life Giver morph and not remove it entirely. -
Alucardo✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Let's be honest, that ultimate was overloaded as heck. Not only did it bring you back from the brink of death, but it made you unkillable while major protection was up, made you hit like a truck thanks to major force, and it was relatively cheap for what it offered.
I won't miss it.(sqweee )>--- ۜ\(סּںסּَ` )/ۜ -
Tasear✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭With necromancer and the introduction of major vulnerability, major protection is the only counter. Major protection should be moved to life giver and remove the other buffs from life giver that you would already have barred
Agreed there's another point. They can raise cost or something but major force isn't very fitting of them off resto staff over protection. -
Dracane✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭That ult was too strong for its cost and it won't be missed.
It truly was a clutch ability and the heal alone is strong enough already. With 8 seconds duration, I fear it will be just as strong as it used to be, even stronger in some regards.Edited by Dracane on April 23, 2019 8:49PMAuri-El is my lord,

How is that? Assuming i havent read anything?
Major force is an extremely strong buff alone, and the heal is already strong. Major protection ontop was overloaded.
As they want to make one defensive and one offensive, id probably put minor protect defensive morph, and leave the other with just major force. -

Nah you come in thread to express how happy you are with others misery. That's kind of person you acted like.
The thread was about giving two classes another way or fixing damage mirgration, but you would of knew that if you actually read it instead of coming here tooting horn how great this change is. -
brandonv516✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭It will still be a strong heal that players will choose over the other morph.
The other morph should receive Major Protection - this would present players with a more balanced decision.
But I won't get my hopes up. They screwed up Healing Ward so it's only natural for the ultimate to follow suit.Edited by brandonv516 on April 23, 2019 6:26PM -

It's sad to think that 😞. I really do hope they see reason here. -
robpr✭✭✭✭✭They should remove casting Ward from Life Giver and add Minor Protection there.
Heal is very strong and adding Major Protection on top of it makes you invincible for the whole duration, conflicting with DKs Molten Shell ulti uniqueness. That morph was overperforming, I think it's even pointless to have Major Protection with heal that strong. In PvE group scenarios DDs are squishy enough that whenever there is one shot they will get killed regardless if there was 30% reduction or not. To protect them from a lot of pressure, Barrier exists. Resto ult, for that low cost, shouldn't make you invincible. -

The Resto line needs buffs, not nerfs, so this whole debacle with Panacea is really disappointing.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE -

Arguably, Negate itself is a great defensive ulti. It completely silences every magicka ability from being cast while inside it, not to mention other ultimates as well. Granted it requires the opponent to be within the Negate for its effect but regardless it's powerful in its own right. 1 well place negate can be the bane of any group.
As side from that, sorcs do also have access to other abilities that *in theory* help their survivability. Firstly their pets - Twilight, Clannfear/Scamp, and Atro can be used to disrupt the opponent's line of sight. Yes, AoE abilities will likely not be affected by this but let's be honest. How many people will willingly face tank an atro?
Next sorcs have the other morph of streak that should absorb projectiles. I'm not sure how reliable this skill is but I'd assume its at least decent.
Of course then there is the shield but we all know about that. -

Well the discussion was about ults, not regular defensive abilities. I’d say negate is largely an offensive ult. Casting a negate is probably not going to save you, but throwing it on a group and timing it with perma/db will likely net a few kills. -
Tonturri✭✭✭✭✭The number/availability and strength of defensive ultimates, unfortunately, pales in comparison to the availability and strength of equivalent offensive ults. Really saddening - and bamboozling tbh - that everyone seems to have a massive, throbbing < > for moar dmg no matter what.
Would love to see the other morph lose all the additional casts of skills few even use (and one that has been nerfed to heck/bugged :P) in exchange for Major Prot. And if ZOS could take some time to really look at more cheaper defensive ultimates (that scale down suitably, # of targets wise of course), that'd be great. -

normally I agree but then this was a day we should have expected when those DLC set changes came out giving this buff away like candy. Now you want major protection, you have to slot it.
Shame though because some classes needed that buff, but not the ones in the OP lol. -

Major Protection was a good buff for Lights Champion, seeing it removed definitely hit a good portion of the community hard.
R.I.P (condolences to major protection from lights champion.)
In all due consideration though, I second the notion to adding major protection to the Life Giver Morph, although to pull it off, there would have to be some compensation.
Life Giver: Release the rejuvenating energies of your staff to swirl around you, healing you or an ally for [x] Health every 1 second for 5 seconds. When you activate this ability you automatically cast Regeneration, Blessing of Protection, and Steadfast Ward at 50% reduced cost and Grant Major Protection to Allies healed by Life Giver for [4.5/5/5.5/6]seconds.
Changing the no cost portion of Lifegiver to a Half Cost can offset the addition of the 4.5-6 second major protection to the Lifegiver Morph considering its other effects, and increasing the duration of major protection by 0.5 seconds per rank of life giver will make it slightly more appealing to healers as a whole.Xbox LIVE: Skullstachio

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.

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.

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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
