Yes, dots are overtuned in scalebreaker; however, when everyone is op, no one is op. This patch hasn’t been as bad as people are making it out to be because everyone, excluding magplar and to a lesser extent stamplar, actually dies in PvP.
The large percentage nerf to dots, ranging from 50% to 63% is too much. These changes shouldn’t have exceeded 33%.
As an example of the impact these nerfs have had, on a magdk: since the dot on volatile Armor wasn’t touched in the dragonhold patch notes...it is now the strongest dot on the class. That’s right, the nerfs to dots hit dk so hard that with a full damage set up their usual dots don’t hit as hard as scalebreaker’s volatile armor. if you know anything about volatile armor’s dot potential, you know that even in scalebreaker the dot from volatile wasn’t actually that strong, rather it was a small addition to your other dots. The fact that this small addition of damage to a dk’s combo would now have to lead in dps when taking down a target is ridiculous.
Please ZOS, change the nerfs to dots to a percentage of 33 or less.
