    Blood Spawn gear got nerfed to 15 ultimate instead of 25...wow

    Things that are too strong are getting balanced. This is a good thing. I am still trying to collect my blood spawn shoulders :)

    PVP kills no longer grant Ultimate.

    is this combat frenzy or kills in general?

    This is for PVP kills, in general. The Ultimate Combat Frenzy grants was reduced from 25 to 20 at Rank II.


    Quick question!

    I believe in the fighter guild skill line there is the slayer passive? Idk if thats the correct passive but I know there is one that grants 9 ultimate when killing an undead.

    Does this count for killing player vampires as well? and If i have the master hunter passive will i gain 9 ulti for killing players in Werewolf form?

    P.S. thank you for the Bosmer update!!! :D

    Brewers and chefs no longer sell Provisioning ingredients. Why would they empower you to produce your own goods? They want you to consume theirs.
    Grocers now sell provisioning ingredients for 150 gold per item.

    How is this going to affect the stale items in our inventory? The original idea was to give us 10g per item so that new items can be purchased. Now, we can't buy items from brewers and chefs and those we can buy from a grocer cost 150g.

    Uninterruptable Wrecking Blow is going to be interesting.

    Oh...they removed Dawnbreakers cast time also...Now that's really interesting, as it eats Vampires

    All melee abilities with cast times must be uninterruptable or they become useless due to bash spam, venom arrow spam, force shock spam, etc. Melee cast time is much different than ranged cast time, because its much easier to interrupt and much harder to land. Melee is inherently at a disadvantage. Just think about whether snipe gets more kills in pvp, or wrecking blow. The devs are making some great changes. Flurry would be worthless too if it could be interrupted. Same with melee heavy attacks. In the future, they will make ranged heavy attacks interruptable, but melee heavy attacks non interruptable. This helps to compensate for the inherit disadvantage of melee as compared to ranged.

    I have no problem with it being uninterrupted..but i imagine some destruction staff users are about to have a grand time with it.

    Is the Legerdemain skill Trafficker working as intended? For the first two points it had 120%/140% increase in fence limit. For the first point it went from 50 to 110 but the second point went from 110 to 120? Should it be 140% of the original base of 50 or from the new base of 110?


    50 * 1,2 = 60
    50 * 1,4 = 70

    50 + 60 = 110
    50 + 70 = 120

    Easy maths ;)

    Yes, I care about how much effort I waste. In general, I wouldn't care too much about gear changes... except that the undaunted stuff is gated by time (1 gold key per day) and RNG for both weight and trait. *** takes forever to get.

    So now I have: 6% chance to get 15 ultimate on a 6s proc timer. I guess I will have to test and see if its still worth it.

    The question was should the second point be based on the original 50 or the 110, not whether the math is right. Currently the second point is giving 140% of 50, but that is after I have the new limit of 110, so should it be based off the old limit or the new limit? If it is supposed to be 140% of 110 then the new limit (after the second point) should be 220.

    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.

    Stealth abilities, such as Shadow Cloak, no longer prevent you from being witnessed while performing criminal acts.

    What is stealth for than to keep you from being seen or witnessed? I think this is a bad idea on ZOS's part.

    Glad to see the Immovable nerf. I hope this be enough.

    Now we are waiting for dmg shields nerf.

    Won't be nerfed, too many skills. Everyone was using Heavy Armor skill to keep from being interrupted during their shield spam fest. This will help a lot in PvP without having to touch a lot of class skills.

    Using the outcome ends in some very strange high numbers:

    Skill 2:
    100 * 1.4 = 154
    100 + 154 = 254

    Skill 3 (example 160%):
    254 * 1,6 = 406,4
    254 + 406,4 = 660,4

    Skill 4 (example 180%):
    660,4 * 1,8 = 1188,72
    660,4 + 1188,72 = 1849,12

    @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ Ok, 1.6.1 - no bad. Please, please for the love of all things holy in this ESO universe tell everyone you guys are investigating how ridiculous damage shields are right now. Damage shields need SERIOUS change, immediately. I'm very surprised there isn't a single mention of damage shields, or any damage shield changes.

    Also, I think blocking has been nerfed a bit too much.
