    Event Testing – Anniversary Jubilee
    Happy 9th Birthday, ESO! Chef Donolon’s cake this year is a creepy kiwi-meets-calamari culinary confectionary catastrophe. Completing the event’s introductory quest gets you this new cake, consuming a slice of which will give you 3 Event Tickets and a 2-hour duration +100% experience bonus during the event!
    • During the event, completing any daily quest in Tamriel will give you an Anniversary Jubilee Gift Box in addition to its other rewards.
      • These boxes will have a smattering of potential rewards including crafting materials, recipes, transmute crystals, and a chance to get an outfit style page for the new Bonemold Armor Style, last year’s Saberkeel Armor Style, or the Worm Cult Armor Style.
    • The Bag of Jubilee Yesteryear can offer you things you don’t have from among Saberkeel, Worm Cult, Jephrine Paladin, Imperial Champion, Prophet, Lyris Titanborn, Sai Sahan, and Abnur Tharn outfit styles/motifs. It also has a chance to give you an additional style item for the Worm Cult motif, and if you somehow end up with a grab bag after claiming all of the rewards it can offer, the bag will instead contain a Group Repair Kit.
    • The Impresario will offer cake furnishings for all cakes - including the new one - as long as you have the cake for the corresponding year. She will also carry bound style pages for the Bonemold armor style, as well as all three fragments for the Passion Dancer Blossom pet. She also carries the first of three fragments for the next morph, the Meadowbreeze Memories skin. The second and third fragments will become available in later events for that quarter.

    Abilities
    • Uppercut and Wrecking Blow can lose targeting in many cases where Dizzying Swing does not.
    • Valkyn Skoria’s visual effects and client reported damage can become desynced from their actual effects, creating situations where it seems the item set is not functioning.

    Dragonknight
    • Ardent Flame
      • Fiery Grip
        • Chains of Devastation (morph): Reduced the duration of the Major Berserk granted from this ability to 4 seconds, down from 10.
      • Earthen Heart
        • Helping Hands:
          • This passive now requires the ability cost of what triggered it to be greater than the restored amount of Stamina, to prevent situations where you could gain more Stamina than you had spent as Magicka.
          • Rank 1 of the ability now shares the same value as Rank 2, but has a cooldown of 2 seconds rather than once every cast.
          • Increased the restored amount of Stamina to 1120, up from 990.
          Developer Comment:
          There are currently a myriad of ways to use this passive in unintended ways, allowing for situations where you can essentially get infinite Stamina. Many have cleverly paired cost reduction with Ash Cloud when we changed the ability to cost per tick, and while we appreciated this clever interaction, it's ultimately invalidating the need of Stamina resource management for the class in the tank role. We're adjusting this passive to only work when you've spent more resources than it can generate, and we're slightly bumping up the Stamina restore so this doesn't create a situation of an overall nerf.

    World
    • Vampire
      • Blood Mist: Reduced the healing of this morph to 45% of the damage done, down from 100%, to ensure it is closer in power to other abilities of its ilk.
      • Mist Form:
        • Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs could lock out your ability to jump until you activated a different ability.
        • Fixed an issue where these abilities could grant their aftereffects even when the ability failed.

    Monster Masks
    • Ozezan the Inferno: Increased the duration of the buffs granted from this set to 1.1 seconds to prevent flickering visual effects and temporary loss of bonuses when they are repeatedly applied.

    PvP Sets
    • Mara's Balm: Reduced the healing of this set to 1106, down from 1675, to peel back some of its passive healing potential.
    • Snake in the Stars:
      • This set now lasts 4 seconds, down from 6.
      • The damage event can now occur once every 100ms, down from once every second.
      • Reduced the damage per hit to 1170, down from 2848.
      • This set now has an additional cooldown per target of 12 seconds, in addition to its 12 second trigger cooldown, in order to prevent subsequential applications.
      • This set now also grants an additional line of Magicka Recovery on the 5-piece bonus.
      Developer Comment:
      This set was designed to counter pesky heal stacking for periods of time to help create windows of opportunity to cut foes down to size, and the current iteration is missing the mark while simultaneously feeling oppressive for anyone it was applied to. We're lowering the uptime and ensuring you can't chain cast it between multiple set wearers on a single target, and reducing its damage per hit, but increasing the number of times it can trigger while it's active. These changes should help reinforce the set's goal, while pulling back from its power against other builds. We're also taking some of the power out of the proc itself and putting it into more of a passive bonus that helps keep you in the fight, since healing builds naturally have quite a bit of sustain.
