It would also be nice if they could finally fix the Frostbite set. It's been broken for ages and has been pointed out pretty much every PTS patch for several years and we've yet to hear any communication on it.

I haven't used the set basically since it released but if you could remind me what's wrong with it I would be much obliged!

The 4% more damage against chilled enemies doesn't work

Oof, that's a ridonkulous oversight!

Been that way for a while, and I'm pretty sure I myself have now made more than one posts about it.

Its been shared in the content creators discord with zos according to @skinnycheeks all we can do is keep reporting it and wait.

I got someone in Nexus to do this test and several devs are in there as well. Hopefully it gets sorted eventually. Maybe as an apology for it being broken for so long they'll make it medium armor instead of light

Lol. I'd rather see them make light armor not insufferably bad in organised group content

And now we wait another week

Got excited seeing Frozen Gate listed in the notes and then... baited!

Why are we bugfixing that skill when the it needs to entirely scrapped and remade.

It's only use was for cheesing MA in score pushes and some PVP shenanigans.

I definitely wouldn't get excited about this pts cycle. They didn't touch winter's embrace in the first week so you shouldn't expect any actual changes in the following weeks. The best we can do is hope for next patch

madmufffin

And then when they do nothing that patch, we can wait for the next patch. Then just continue to do so for eternity until the game has 5 players left and they never changed anything for frost builds

Waiting is all we can do. We don't know what the heck they have planned next patch

@BasP @ESO_Nightingale we may never get viable frost builds, but at least they gave us a polar bear cosmetic in crown store

Yeah, it's cool. I had a bunch of ESO+ Crowns and bought it, along with the mammoth mount, as well.

Once upon a time I actually hoped the Eternal Guardian would be reworked into a Frost Damage dealing Polar Bear whose ultimate applied Major Brittle or something, but getting a skill style is nice too.

Bought those two things too lol. Having bear do frost damage instead of the useless respawn would be a massive improvement to the skill. The active applying major brittle for 5s or something would just be icing on the cake.

it'd make animal companions have a lot more synergy with winter's embrace, that's for sure.

Something encouraging the use of other lines in a class would be nice. Right now nothing really does that.

Literally the only one is the Sorc passive for Weapon Damage per Sorc skill slotted.

Only other somewhat comparable mechanic is the Templar class mastery that requires their healing line to maximize (though I don't actually like that mechanic).
