    I said this way back in the day, they should make all abilities be able to Morph to Stamina or Magicka and then the player can choose what he wants..maybe one day ESO will get there..

    Either all 3 melee dk skills get stamina morph or we dont need any. Its not logical to allow 2 flame dots be stamina based but instant dmg skill magicka only.

    Noo! Why isn't Concealed Weapon and Killers Blade now stamina based!? Those two would be the most ideal abilities for stamina thieves and assassins! )=

    Killer's Blade does cost stamina; looks like we missed it in the patch notes. We're adding it now.

    For the Veiled Strike ability, we made Surprise Attack cost stamina instead of Concealed Weapon because Surprise Attack also reduces armor and made sense to us for a physical damage dealer.

    Why are you reducing choices in builds? Magicka based builds now have fewer choices in order to allow Stam to have more. Stamina needs more core class skill choices but they also have far greater choices outside of class abilities. The better choice is to simply allow more class abilities scale off of what stat is highest.

    You are trying to help Stamina builds but you just nerfed magicka builds hard now. You are NOT adding choice. You are just shifting around your limited choice options.

    So now a magicka based melee nightblade build (one of the few effective builds that class has had since day 1) are broken just to give a few more options to Stamina builds which are now the FOTM build anyway (especially bow)?

    You do yourselves no favours with these changes. You simply nerf those who had choices before. This is not a net gain.

    YOU GUYS pigeon holed the players with YOUR system. It is not the player's fault they adapted to the system you offered. Players have been screaming for choice since day 1 and now your prove yet again you can't fix it.

    Every damn skill in game should be able to used by ANY BUILD!!! Skills should just adapt to the build ... NOT THE PLAYER TO THE SKILLS!

    Hybrid builds are still screwed. You are STILL forced into stamina or magicka builds. You are STILL forced to ignore blocks of skills simply because you have magicka or stamina as your main stat which narrows you into very basic builds that are effective.

    This major overhaul is a missed opportunity.

    Apologies if I missed this in the notes! But I remember, in Q&As leading up to this patch, some talk of staff attacks being scaled to spell damage rather than weapon damage -- would you be able to verify if that's the case as of PTS publication? And if so, does the change to spell damage apply to light & heavy weapon attacks for destro and resto staves, or just the abilities?

    P.S. THANK YOU -- the whole team deserves like a day at the spa and 16 hours of uninterrupted sleep once this thing goes live. And ideally, the community managers' insurance plans cover the extensive therapy necessitated by a life of nonstop exposure to the furious, entitled demands of a gaming community. I assume you're all plagued by night terrors.

    No LFG fixes?

    Apparently there was no need for fixing the tool itself as all it needed was a fix for a rare occurance:

    "Grouping Tools
    Fixed an issue if you selected a role at the same time a group search started, the icon to toggle roles could not be used.".

    If it still isn't working, we'll probably have to wait for console release when they will jump through hoops to fix Sage's inability to use it.

    Armor: The amount of mitigation provided by Armor has changed.
    • A piece of Light Armor grants 1/4th of the mitigation of an equivalent piece of Heavy Armor.

    So is this the beginning of the end of the "Light Armor/Sword and Board DK Uber-Tanks" we see everywhere like roaches in PvP?
    I hope so.

    Just to be clear I have no issue with this, as I have always found the classic MMO roles work fine (tanks in heavy, casters using staves etc.). I jut think its funny that an initial "you can play any way you like" has steadily evolved towards the traditional roles of classes as they have found certain builds to be vastly superior to others.

    i´m a little disappointed that Rushed Ceremony and Healing Ritual (Templar heals) have no changes at all. Honor the Dead is still bad compared to the other morph Breath of Life and the ability Healing Ritual is still as bad as ever. I thought this patch should buff underused abilities and morphs.

    I don't...I don't really get what you're asking... ._.

    GDB didn't seem to have any changes to the heal component, should work exactly the same, if that was the question.

    This is by far the worst set of Patch notes I have seen. Why are Templars getting further buffs when they are already the most OP class?

    Have ZOS decided that they can't fix the lag in Cyrodiil so they are trying to stop people playing PvP by absolutely ruining everything? These are the most idiotic patch notes of any game ever and now I am seriously thinking about quitting the game and not subbing to ESO Plus when this patch comes out.

    Ultimate was one of the few systems in the game that worked and now they have made the amazing decision to utterly remove ultimate generation. I can't believe that everyone commenting is saying positive things so I can only assume that ZOS are removing the comments that are mean about their stupid patch.

    and now that light armor is weak, also remove the taunt from clannifer???

    Unstable Familiar
    The unstable familiar (as well as the pets from the morphs of this ability) will no longer taunt monsters if the summoning player character is the only one on the hate list for that monster.

    I forsee lots of "why does my sorcerer die all the time" posts from new rolls/ new players




    Significantly decreased the chance to receive gold boosters, gold aspect runes and purple provisioning ingredients from hireling mails.

    No new quests to pve? So the end game is still the same runnig around trials.. no way i can do quest on craglorn myself?
    Forced group.. Since launch i have waited for more pve end game content.
    But well i just unsub, and drop elderscrollonline to trashbin. Rip forever.
    No rage quit guys, im not upset in anyway. Just nothing to do, tired of waiting stuff to do.

    ZOS good luck with this game.
