    Decreased the damage of Force Shock and Crushing Shock by 10%.-RIP MAgicka sorc build

    Dexterity: This passive now grants a higher Critical Strike rating to physical attacks, and was changed to be approximately on par with the Spell Critical Rating gained by the Light Armor passive Prodigy.
    -RIP magicka builds
    @ZOS_GinaBruno medium already have 1,4 more weapon DMG then light users have spell power.Now You give medium another boost and just garbaged Crushing Shock to surge and bow.\

    Reduced the number of entrances to Outlaws Refuges based on your feedback. There is now one entrance outside the city, and one inside the city limits.

    Okay, who is responsible for this? Who gave this kind of "feedback"?

    The different entrances to the refugees were awesome, especially that they corresponded perfectly to the overworld. If you left the refuge through a gutter or well, that's exactly were you would end up. Guess they have to change all areas now or they don't make sense anymore ...
    No, my feedback said that I LIKED this feature! I thought the different entry points to the refuges were very nicely done and I am sad to see them go.
    Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!
    Remembering better days of less RNG in all the things.

    Fixed an issue where chests in the following dungeons were not sharing with group members:
      Veteran Blessed Crucible Veteran Tempest Island Veteran Arx Corinium

    When were Veteran Blessed Crucible, Tempest Island and Arx Corinium released? Did I miss the announcement?
    That would be a typo. Good catch!

    Wow, an incredible amount of changes over the course of one week. Do you guys even sleep?

    I'm glad to see the travel to guildies and grouping with guildies by right clicking on them has been restored.

    I'm not so sure I like having the number of entrances to the Outlaw Refuge reduced so dramatically. This change seems like it's going to make it harder to elude guards and successfully fence and launder items.

    Yah I think that is what they meant also. CC immunity during the cast would make this the most overpowered skill in the game, and it is already very strong.

    5 trait sets still nerfed, meaning it's still nerfed.

    WHY ARE YOU NERFING MORE THE SORCERERS? WHY?

    Sorcerer is already the WEAKEST class; and you just NERF it more with Crushing Shock nerf... Are you serious? Do you want to delete this CLASS from the game or what?

    Why only the NOOB PET builds are you want us to use with 6 toggle skills?

    Pure magic from the heart, through the blood, to the last hairbreadth...

    ultimate can now be gained from blocking, dodging, or attacking targets with a damage shield, good change!

    but how about getting heal from skills like crit surge/sap essence/funnel health if damaging damage shield?
    currently 2 classes have no heal in pvp, with damage shields being so OP, and NB don't even have damage shield to protect themselves, sorc can at least bubble up and gtfo if it gets too heated.

    Are NB suppose to wear restoration staff just to get heals and protection? no other weapon will be viable if this is not fixed asap!

    Any class can heal in pvp. Vigor is a stamina based aoe heal located in the Alliance Assault line. Anyone with the appropriate rank can take it. Also of course, anyone can use a resto staff.

    Meaning all sets, including crafted one's. This doesn't solve the problem of Trials gear being not as good as crafted gear.

    This is a weapon ability, not a class ability. And spamming one ability, that has very good range, a fast animation, and multiple debuffs was basically overpowered. Fantastic change.

    Crushing Shock OP?!

    Crushing Shock has more counters then any....

    I like a lot of the changes, I feel like Crushing Shock's change was a tad unfair and I hate to see Shifting Standard get its cost increased.

    Otherwise, things seem ok. May test one of those templates.
