During today's ESO Live show, Combat Lead Eric Wrobel discussed and showed some brief game play demos of the 4 new AVA skills coming in Update 6.

Magicka Detonation is a ranged Magicka based skill which places a bomb on an enemy that will explode after 6 seconds. (I believe the bomb will do AOE damage upon detonation but I need to rewatch the show to confirm this.) A morph exists which will automatically detonate the bomb if a player tries to dispel/purge it.

DeveloperA: Wouldn't it be cool if we had like this skill that if you tried to purge it, you'd just instantly blow up.

DeveloperB: We've already got that in game.

DeveloperA: Oh really, whats it called?

DeveloperB: A bug

@Subtomik‌ .. Bro the skill we have been needing is here.. I can finally keep my baby safe!!!

-- Guard is a Stamina based skill which allows a player to absorb projectiles aimed at nearby allies. The player who uses the skill will still be damaged by these redirected projectiles so the skill basically changes the target of the projectiles. However, Eric said the skill could be used with Reflective Scales to redirect projectiles aimed at your allies back onto the enemy who fired them. --

*** finally we get a guard function in PvP! Been waiting for a tank mechanic for ages. This will actually make speccing for durability and survivability more useful. Lets hope it works out like in theory.

Real question is, is Magicka Detonation reflectable? Excited by the changes regardless.

am I the only one who is most excited about the aoe STAMINA heal?? and will there be stamina morphs for the templar restoring light tree?? I want to be a stamina healer

No new coding required.

LOL. It does sound like the same ability that the serpent uses in sanctum, the way to avoid damage from it is to drain your magicka pool before detonation.

This ultimate thing..........do they even play this game

I am not sure what you are trying to say, but the change to ult gen is a good thing. With the change the only way to gen ult with heals is when healing players who are gening ult via light/heavy attacks. No more out of combat ult gen via healing springs.

This change ruins every build based on rapid ulti generation ( i don't consider spamming healing springs a build, but people who were going with high crit chance). It's reducing choice in play styles in my opinion.

IMO it has opened them up. Before, every one in groups was worried about if their skill would gen ulti fast enough and how many can you drop in say a minute. This will help to let everyone play a style they like without having to use skills that are there just to gen ulti and serve no other purpose.

Where is the logic, why should healers get that much ulti but DPS get none, if it works as intended then 4 ppl get 20 something ulti the healer heals them gettin 100 wtf. Imo this makes no sense on my part and will make small vs zerg boring and tbh useless imo I do get that building ulti with springs is kinda bs.

that's not how it works

After the patch, anytime you light or heavy attack you get a buff, that buff gives you 3 ultimate every second for 8 seconds..

If you heal a player with that buff, You get that buff as well. so 3 ultimate every second for 8 seconds.

So the bat swarmers can have their ulti regen, but the rest of us have our crutch taken away... sounds legit.

What?

I'm only sad I can't roll around building ulti. It's saved me many times rolling a few times to get those last few points of ulti before I die.

So, they are limiting the amount of projectiles Scales reflects, but introducing a skill that makes it apply to entire groups?

I thought ZOS love affair for the Dragonknight was coming to an end, but I see it is just as passionate as ever.

There is no logical reason why the bomb should be reflectable. Its like Velocious curse and as it takes 6 seconds it is obviously no projectile.


Limiting it to be only way to gain Ultimate would be totally game changing/breaking and I think they will not completly remove all Ultimate gain from AOE etc. I actually think that the light attack buff is meant for pve like trials where the only way to get Ultimate is crits atm. In order to create a greater diversity and dont force everyone to crit builds they introduced this flat ult generation.

What we have done to reduce the inequality there is change the system to a flat generation rate. Now whenever you attack, you will gain a buff that gives you 3 Ultimate per second for 3 seconds. We settled on that number using an average character who was performing one ability (with light attack weave) per second with an average critical strike rating as a normalizing benchmark which put Ultimate generation at a rate we were happy with.

As this does not make not sense for trash mobs / pvp where only a small amount of your ult gain is coming from crits, I doubt that they will remove all other ways to gain ultimate apart from light attacks + passives.

The bomb skill will not be reflectable. It will function just like sorcerers velocious curse.

Can someone clarify if the ult gain buff is completely replacing current ult gen gained from regular combat (outside of ultimate gain sets/passives). I'm assuming it does replace it.

After seeing the guard skill I completely understand why they nerfed reflective scales.

Inb4 Dragonknights stack dodge/miss chance + damage reduction + reflective scales + activate the guard skill

I wonder if ball of lightning will absorb all spells redirected due to the guard skill


MY BODY IS READY. (I'll probably spend a week or two on the pts so I don't go in completely dry)
