5.2.1 LOTTERY

Masty_Spy

Guess changes

NirnStorm

My bet is it'll take more than just one cycle before dots get a buff back up. Might take anything between 2 cycles to 6 months

Squidgaurd

We need a new spammable stam sorcs arw gonna be missing one if the dizzy change goes live and magdens have no viable cc just a reminder cc's are dor pvp only.

GeorgeBlack

Week 2. Magsorc nerf.
Week 4. Magsorc buff.

Vapirko

Ima go with DoTs buffed based on two things. 1) The massive outcry early on in PTS and 2) ZOS actually has no real vision so they usually just overdo whatever gets QQ'd about the loudest.

I don't think they will revert dizzy swing though.

My 5.2.1. prediction
- Dots kept nerfed
- Mystic Orb nerfed as well (it avoided all nerfs in 5.2.0)
- spammables kept as they are now

My 5.2.2. prediction
- Dots buffed as the answer to riot that will break out after 5.2.1.
- spammables kept as they are

They let us test something for two weeks and than make a 180 degree turn. They do this pretty often. So instead of 5 weeks of testing we have effectively only 3.

I don't even know anymore. I've given up on logic with them. Think I will try a Ouija Board next. Should provide better results.

Its very optimistic to think that they’ve gathered all the feedback during one week and managed to fix things according to it.

But whatever, let the pendulum swing again.

Banana

Not much happens in .1 Maybe .2 common sense starts to appear. Although there hasnt been much in the past.

Other:
- Nightblade: Shadow Cloak:
This skill and its morphs was removed and added to mages guild line.
Comment: Since NB already lost its class identity, we decided to finish what we have started. This will improve build diversity. Also this would be a buff if you are not a NB.
- New Moon Acolyte: we have tweaked this set slightly. It no longer gives 481 weapon and spell dmg, but instead increases cost of your active abilities by 85%.
- Werewolf: we decided to block this ultimate for now, till we figure out what to do with it.
Note: all your werewolf skill points will be refunded automatically. You will not lose Werewolf skill line, but the ultimate will be grayed out, and you wont be able to slot it.
- Sorcerer: we decided to tweak this class a little bit. All Sorcerer's damaging abilities received roughly 90% damage increase. Additionally all passives were increased in strength and duration by 85%.
Comment: this will lay a strong foundation balance wise and will improve Sorcerer class identity as an ultimate force on the battlefield.
- Cyrodill: We decided to remove 7 day campaign and also changed our idea of introducing 30 day alliance unlocked campaign. Instead we will add:
Special mode in which you spawn randomly in one of 3 Alliances home base: Aldmeri Dominion, Daggerfall Covenant, or Ebonheart Pact. Since this campaign is not alliance locked, you can spawn at ANY base, no matter of your alliance. In this mode we also unlocked cross - faction transitue shrine, so you can travel to your friend (or enemy) base directly from your base.

I'm going to say next they'll address healing and HOTs . Then Direct Damage skills (I'm thinking Master at Arms is going to be changed). Finally, adjustments to attributes ( diminishing returns; prioritize putting points into Health)

Lottery? It's more akin to russian roulette.

Epicasballs

In no CP DoTs are fine. I'd like to see them roll the 20% resource buff from CP trees into your base resource pool and disable CP all together while keeping u23 changes as they were. CP is the real issue in this game.

Saril_Durzam

5.2.1. Correction on bugs. Maybe, just maybe, Orbs "standarized".

Elsonso

No change to DoT damage in 5.2.1

Ratzkifal

Lottery? Why not play Bingo? That's more exciting. Everyone has to fill a bingo board with predictions for the next patch and once it comes around we'll see who gets a bingo first.

Parasaurolophus

Onslaught nerf

If zos nerfs onslaught, with dots, with 2h. Everybody is going magicka.

Van_Winkle

Once i waited patch notes with great interest, now - with terror and disgust.

rafaelcsmaia

You sir are highly optimistic with these options

Rehdaun

Where's the nothing will change because Zos are a bunch of arrogant cusses that don't give two licks about the player base and only care about the almighty dollar option?

That's the option I pick.

OtarTheMad

My guess? They started to work on 5.2.1 before the feedback came back so not much will be in this update. Feedback changes won't be until next week

LoreToo

5.2.1
Decreased single-target DoTs damage by approximately 70%. Each cast of volley/elemental blockade costs 1 crown. Anyway no1 gonna use them so why not.

Elwendryll

I don't expect any change before 5.2.2

I doubt they’ll be touching CP this time around.

They waiting to "fix" CP in early 2020.

( ^ Those playing another game that Bethesda is constantly "fixing" will understand)

redspecter23

I think they will double down on nerfs and go back and hit anything that accidentally slipped by.

Orbs
Fire Rune
Dual Wield Axe bleed
Maelstrom destro staff (on stam toons)

Basically any way the players have found to work around the nerfs (instead of just eating the losses) will result in more nerfs.

StrandedMonkey

wheres the option for dswing not getting fixed after community outcry

ThePedge

Nothing will change this week.

evoniee

aoe dot cost tweaked

SapAndFury

Corrected an issue where players still appear to be dying in Cyrodiil. Reduced damage of all primary “spammable” skills by 66%. Please note that damage over time abilities still follow our previous 1.25X standardization rule, and have been adjusted accordingly. This will be a buff if more competitive and experienced player base decides to leave the game.
