[Bug?] Daedric Rounds VMA

Nifty2g · January 2016

So when I was running Maelstrom Arena on Rounds 6, 8 and 9 I would have terrible Magicka issues at the end of Wave 1, with keeping all my buffs up etc my Magicka would just drain a few other people have mentioned this before. Is there a thing happening here? Does anyone else have this issue? I've yet to go inside VMA and spend an hour or so wiping to grab the details

I have notice that multiple time. Some run I don't have magicka problem but some time for no reason I'm oom very quickly. I thought that I have spam more spell but now that you speak maybe not.

Happens to me on my sorc a bit. Thought it was "intended" lols.

@ZOS_GinaBruno could you possibly pass this on for testing? I really believe there is something going on here

I'll look more closely next time I run it. In general that lack of a mini break between rounds such that you cannot even reset your bars, let alone get a little regen, is a design decision I greatly dislike.

What are you using that could possibly have an effect on your Magicka sustain (e.g., 2 pc Kena, Harness Magicka, Maelstrom Resto, Absorb Magicka enchants, etc.)?

you can sort of tell the difference in these videos.

Ok, I see what you're saying. From what I can tell, I believe that Harness Magicka plays a major role in the sustain differences.

During stage 6, you're not taking much spell damage due to a lack of caster mobs and the speed in which you kill them.

During stage 8, you let harness magicka fall off near the end of the first flame atronachs and the entirety of the fight with the 3 casters... coupled with the magicka spent dpsing the flame caster while it was being healed by both healers.

I'm not saying this is the whole equation, but the difference is noticeable.

I see you run FTC, does it have an option to toggle resource combat text (I don't use it)? When I run into these issues, I turn combat cloud on and review the videos to see how much magicka/stamina I'm gaining/spending.

On my Sorcerer I really notice this specifically on arena 8, all stages.

Even with Elemental Drain on mobs and using Overload to regen my Magicka just gets destroyed on arena 8, no idea why and it has always seemed inconsistent.
