so is resto now a net-negative on dmg compared to live? i know it got a few buffs but a 27% dmg nerf again seems very heavy handed, it only had its dmg buffed by like 9% (which was huge compared to many other heavies which got nerfed by that same amount)

from this patch it still seems like zos just doesnt like a lot of things:

• healers (in general)
• NB tanks
• stam sorcs
• wardens (in general)
• sticky dots
• DKs (due to sticky dots nerfs)

and im sure that list could go on lol

You forgot [*] ZoS’ paying customers from the list of things they don’t like.

and he forget sorc's pet in the list

Well, ZOS, you accomplished nerfing the ceiling, but where exactly did you raise the floor? I can only see nerfs for everyone - but endgame players are more likely to adapt to them than those players you actually claimed you wanted to help

As funny as it would have been to try using restoration staves as DPS weapons, I'm glad this is being addressed.

Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what adjustments will be made to Empower in terms of abilities and item sets in the long run.

And hence ZoS actually widened the skill and power gap instead of narrowing it with the update 35 changes and made content less accessible in direct contradiction to the stated reason for the entire update. All hail the spreadsheets!

You've(the combat dev team) gutted Warden and still haven't reverted the advanced species change, which lots of warden players have asked for including me.

Just scrap the update, guys, literally it's the popular opinion. Don't alienate your players like this. You're creating an unhealthy environment to have fun in. Which makes it impossible to have fun.

I'm staying gone from this game if this update drops, as are many folks. I suppose that means little.

At this point I believe someone really wants this game to fail.

YandereGirlfriend

Well, Warden friends... see you in 6-12 months.

Maybe by then they will have fixed Shalks, Advanced Species, etc. after this update thoroughly destroyed them.

these attacks are generally made by error rather than intentionally , as they are harder to do

When you want to demonstrate right out of the gate that you don't know what you're talking about, or don't think skill should matter.

Or in other words, players can count to one and count to three, but counting to two is usually a mistake.

Feels like my Templar has early stage osteoarthritis. I'm sorry but the current jabs animation is so much better.

There is a rumor that ZOS will release a new MMO at QuakeCon.

Additionally, we are reducing the damage from the final hit of restoration heavy attacks by approximately 27% and increasing the amount of Magicka restored by 10%. We’re taking out some of the raw power from this weapon type to prevent it from becoming a dominant damage producing weapon, and instead moving its focus of this attack type to be on the Recovery side of things.

Resto's Staff Essence Drain passive will also be nerfed - i.e. the heals from HA-ing. So, how about boosting - instead of constantly nerfing stuff - the passive? To 35 / 70%? 45 / 90% So that healers could not only rerenerate their mana, but also do some healing, now that bosses are OP and we are weakened.

And it will be PC and XBOX exclusive no Playstation. ZOS has already stated any new content will be exclusive. Makes you think !!!

Smh just cancel the update - the more that’s added, the worse it gets. I’ve seen next to no people who have asked for any of these changes, or who have approved of them. Terrible direction.

Agree with this!! This update is a terrible direction and the complete disregard for the communities feedback is insulting.

Congrats! I dare say, perfect timing.

I bought all the DLCs for real money - not that I regret that much, but I'd have waited for some occasions, Crown giveaways or something if I had known that ESO devs care and listen to us "that much".

Please leave templar Jabs alone

So since console players do not have access to the pts we can only go by patch notes and other players experience on the pts. A 30% reduction at 65k put you at 45k if you are hiting at 45k that reduction puts you 31k. Tell me how this raises the floor. I only have a limited amount of time to log in and play,so this reduction is going to make vet dungeons take longer to clear so Instead of being able to complete the pledges on vet is not going to be possible I might get 1 done in a night. ONE DUNGEON A NIGHT, taking all night to clear 1 4man dungeon, content that we have been playing for yrs has suddenly been put out of our reach by the dev's. Fewer dungeons cleared means fewer transmute Crystal's fewer keys fewer rewards. Longer build times fewer resources gathered,right on down the list. Fewer characters to get through randoms. Do you get the picture? The regular players are being put back to a noob level. This is a spreadsheet from a console player.

When did the Star Wars Galaxies team take over this game? Direction no one asked for, not listening to any of the players, and likely resulting in a severely reduced population. Or maybe Amazon paid them separately to do this so that we will leave this and can try resurrecting their failed New World?

It's really bizarre to observe.

anvilbert

Something I forgot to put in my rant, with all my characters being put at a noob level suddenly content I PAID FOR IS OUT OF MY REACH . WHY AM I GOING TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR CONTENT IM NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE????? HENCE NO MORE MONEY ZOS.

Morimizo

So let this one summarize; the initial nerfs were inadequate, because some folks found two ways to help mitigate said nerfs, leading to combat team response of, "Oh no, you don't! We said LESS damage, children!!"

Truthfully, this one will consider it humorous to very carefully evade groups of three Auridon mudcrabs with the same OMG alert level given to Craglorn swarming wasps from years ago.

On a thoroughly unrelated topic, when will the Wiffle Bat skill line be released?

DLM

I guess it is really time to move on.
