Champion system not all it was hyped to be?

I just looked at all the champion system options and really it's not that impressive to me. As a glass cannon NB build there are only 2 sections that even appeal to me. If I was a SnB char then yea this is awesome because half the options are to do with SnB gameplay. So how do you feel about champ system?

    The thing about the Champion System is it will be modified and improved over time.

    Much of it is going to be tweaked heavily over the next few patches.

    Besides... none of the devs play Nightblades. :#

    From what I have seen, it is exactly what they promised.

    If by hype you mean people's misconceptions about the system, then yes, it may not live up to the hype.
    This one has an eloquent and well thought out response to tha... Ooh sweetroll!

    Another poll...

    Champ system does exactly what it was billed to do, adds a myriad of passives, some of which will apply to your build, some which won't and some that'll possibly shape your future builds.

    As for these only being two that are useful to you, I find that pretty hard to believe.

    Champion System phase 3 is a big change. That is really all I heard from the developers.

    The hype seems to be mostly with the forum crowd, who seem to be putting a huge amount of other importance on it. I even saw people asking if 1.6 would bring people back to the game.

    ZOS will not discourage such talk, but phase 3 has never seemed all that significant to me. It can coexist with Veteran System. Phase 4, now that will shake the pillars, if they ever do it.

    How very true, until these patch notes ZOS had said nothing of substance about it and so all the speculation before this week was entirely fact-free.

    ZOS' comments made me think it was likely to be modeled on Rift's PA system, and that' just what we've got, with the downside of ZOS dictating where we'll be able to spend points rather than us playing the way we want to.

    Agreed, they've said on several occassions it bolsters the build you already have, it's not a replacement to the skill points but a supplemental to it.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

    Passion rules reason
    Wizard's third rule
    Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie.

    Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self

    I find that my excitement about the Champion System varies on the character role I have in mind.

    Since I'm doing less glass cannon, there's something that appeals to me in every major constellation for tank, stamina melee DPS, healer, and magicka caster DPS.

    I remember feeling bleuh about my choices in Shadow or Tower traits like +20% inspiration. Perhaps I'm telling myself, this trait requires 30 points in Tower, which means I need around 90 CP. And if I have 90 CP, I'm either a VR14 that needs to earn about 8 million XP.

    I suppose I can only see this being useful for alts or for provisioning and alchemy, because just adventuring to VR10 and deconstructing intricates and whites has gotten four crafts to 50. Unless future crafting won't have us using recipes at 45 or 50.

    Seems to be more focused on stamina and weapon damage, not a lot for mages...not to surprised since ZOS hates mages.

    Get rid of Vet Ranks, take this to phase 4 like it was supposed to be, then I will be happy. Well, I am still unhappy about B2P, but I will be less unhappy once vet ranks are removed. Until then this is an unfinished conversion.

    Until VR is REMOVED FROM GAME champion system is in the back seat. Till then, dont even care about it.
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.
    Werewolf is not equal to Vamps/Bats.

    Pretty much what he said.

    That and it's passives.

    Hard to get excited about passives.

    Don't like it. Most of the perks that require 75 or 120 points not worth even 10 points.
