It's the first mmo that I've quit over problems and lack of interest, yes. But somehow I'm still subbed waiting for a miracle that probably won't happen.

Quick Siphon (morph of Force Siphon, last skill in resto line) gives you and your allies health when you attack the NPC it's been cast on. It lasts for 20 seconds and is cast instantly. Spirit Siphon works as well, and it restores Magicka on attack, but it has a cast time. You can use this in addition to Degeneration and get some nice healing. I don't know the math sorry, I just know from my experience it works well.

I went ahead and bought them both. Restores 100% of weapon damage on every hit, is that right? Sorry i'm not going to get to play much for the rest of this week due to work commitments.

The thing is, I can see me not using my shield ever again, unless a guild mate needs me to tank a non-vet dungeon for them. I've just about found a way to make sword and shield work, mutagen before pull, then on a 3 mob pull, degeneration on everything i'm fighting, maybe vampire's bane on one too, then just tank them. Honour the dead, Repentance to keep me going and if things get bad, there's the Remembrance ultimate.

But with this skill, why bother? Apparently holding a stick out in front of your body blocks an incoming volley of arrows nearly as well as a shield that covers most of your torso. The healing stick does way more damage , is ranged, and yes it allows you to heal more and restore power too.

Edit - armour with staff, 5L 2H = 968
with shield, and ransack buff = 1719 (numbers turn orange, indicates softcap)

So that's something. and the ability to move a bit quicker when blocking (battlefield mobility). Still seems like a poor trade.

Edit 2 - I need to rethink my policy on honour the dead. Every death I had, I had more magika available, but i'd been trying to only heal when low enough on health to proc the power return. Then one lag spike/bit of bad luck and you died needlessly.

I guess this is my problem all over, trying to make underpowered skill lines work.

I'm guilty of not experimenting enough with new skills, I had a total of 18 active skills and was worried about the cost of respeccing. It seems I've missed a lot of skyshards though. Still I don't see why it should cost so much to respec, since it's so easy to end up with a nonviable build at VR. This is just going to tempt people to use gold sellers.

Only on my Nightblade.

Does this game bring out the rage quitter in you?

No, just the normal reasons for quitting. No rage, just disappointment.

I don't have a rage quitter in me, I usually stop playing a game after calmly thinking about it, never in a rage, usually when I'm done with the game, and it no longer feels fun.

But never angrily.

If you feel the urge to rage quit....I would take an introspect look at yourself. Its a videogame, a meaningless distraction. Its like getting angry at a choose your own adventure.
