    Stop using trials as some gold standard for player builds. Fricken seriously.

    Im sick of every skill being measured vs trials.

    Also, challenge accepted, ive got a vr12 DW Medium Armor Siphoner ready to roll at a moments notice, let me know.

    Hint - My build out DPS's most Sorcs. Only the very few exceptionals beat my deeps. So yeah. There it is, I said it.

    Hint 2 - I dont use siphoning strikes in the build. le gasp!

    At the end of my rope with this mentality that Destro/Light makes everything else garbage, because that mentality in itself is garbage.

    Edit to add: NBs got a massive buff today too for spell damage, rut ro.

    Casting anything in stealth shoud break it.

    The actual bug was with DOTs that was already applied to targets when you entered stealth. The damage ticks of the DOT were breaking the stealth, which wasn't intended.

    (there was also the issue that DOT on yourself broke stealth)

    They accidently posted the patch notes earlier than they wanted so they took it back to the dev zone.

    Its supposed to be on top of the recovery, but I'm suprised that was pushed into 1.2.3 if it was in those notes. Notes now gone because they were posted too early btw :P.

    Sap + Tornado after todays patch is going to make impulse yesterdays news. And you know it too. Especially with the buff to spell damage in the nightblade passives.

    We sorc level now, and we didnt even need light armor to do it!

    My tornadoes buffed by saps were doing crits of 650 (higher against really low health targets) just the other day. With the lower stamina cost on a magicka heavy build fueled by magelight + armor pen enchants, a DW/Siphoner NB is going to be serious now.

    We are talking 50+ weapon crit WITH 45 spell crit. And being able to use two pools to dish the damage on equal footing.

    Some fancy footwork and only blocking when NEEDED, and there ya go.

    Never said NB is gonna be easy mode, but its going to be full on viable.

    The only change I am probably making to my build today is I am going to put on two more pieces of Night Mothers Gaze somewhere for the extra 5 Spellcrit on top of the armor break from the 3 piece set bonus.

    Good stuff in there. Gives me a better feeling for the game's direction.

    Please look into increasing dungeon XP (and PvP XP again) so that players have options for leveling. I know 7 subs (all of my gaming buddies) who might consider returning to ESO if this were done. (Not asking for new content, but for XP rewards to be distributed evenly.)

    And more communication on these forums between ZoS and playerbase would go a long way to improving players' goodwill.

    I know and I don't use siphoning strikes either, my build is the meta build that everyone is using, just a light armour resto staff NB and my secondary is sword and board, primary for DPS secondary for sap essence spam, haven't gotten on in 2 weeks since I got to VR12 on my NB.

    It was definitely in the notes cause it caught my eye but they did push them before they was ready so maybe it wont be in the revised notes. Thanks for clearing it up tho.

    Siphoning Strikes: This ability now restores slightly less resources:

    Not happy with this. But I guess the fact I never ran out of stamina was an issue?

    Your pets can now be given a target to attack:

    Nice, no more "derp lets attack the cc'd enemy!"

    Endless Fury (Mages’ Fury morph): Fixed an issue where this ability was not properly restoring magicka when it landed the killing blow on an enemy.:

    Thats not that bad :)

    Is this the patch that is going live today or do we still have a bit for this one?

    Will this make the Bow more viable in the VR levels? I really want to play a bow guy, but the horror stories have kept me away.

    I've been playing a DK archer up to VR 6. It's challenging and sometimes I need help taking out certaian bosses, but it's playable. Of course it's nowhere as easy as playing a staff/robe type.

    Guys when u do all that than open API so we can see/compare group members and thats it ....

    Hopefully that will never happen. Comparing/examining other players just leads to Elitism, and nothing helps destroy a game community faster !

    Not only that but just because a player has the best gear DOESN'T mean he knows jack-all about how to play efficiently ! ! !

    ;)

    Man you need to find real in game friends. API actually helps us we can work on what needs to be changed. Elitism is there reguardless

    What I saw from the bow I really liked. The snipe isn't really that much of a nerf, because with the range reduction, you get to be able to hit them 10m closer.

    Also the buff to poison arrow was badly needed.

    Apart from the slight nerf to siphoning strikes, this is the best patch yet imo....IF IF IF IF it does not break the game :expressionless:

    The increase to spell damage only applies to stealth damage you're talking about the buff to master assassin passive, that isn't going to change how I play my build or make it any more viable because I just don't use stealth anymore, also if you're going to gloat I'd like you to at least post picture proof or videos.

    Why? So you can sit and nitpick the individual situation?

    "Well look see theres three mobs there, that dps doesnt count cause it wasnt exactly four, or two, or negative six"

    "Well that mob was looking the other way, and it has lower AR than that one there, so thats wrong too, no no no I cant count this as evidence"

    Please, ive been doing this for long enough in other games to know exactly how "evidence" goes.

    I suppose youd question a screencap I have of my templar hitting 16k HPS during an anom grind?

    If it is in the revised notes, and actually implemented once the servers come back up, they are crazy for doing it without doing a thing for heavy armor. Just going to cause using medium over heavy more of a no brainer than it was previously...

    "This version contains our second major content update"

    Which, like the first adds new content aimed and the vansihingly small minority who are able to actually play it .. like your friends in Entropy Rising.

    For the rest of us, the vast majority, there is no new content this time either.

    You have tons to go through still in the VR areas plus dungeons. You will need this stuff around later anyway once you reach it.
