Would You Like More Synergy?

I believe most can agree in saying the general combat is ESO is fantastic.
Synergies currently as they stand can often be ignored if they are not needed urgently (Purge/Purify), or a player is not familiar with them because they can go unnoticed. I think synergies could add to the great combat system in place. Synergies should be made more desirable and added into a large amount of abilities throughout the game. This would make small group coordination and combat much more dynamic and unique. It could engage players by inadvertently helping allies more often. Dare I say better options besides skill spamming for DPS.
EDIT: I wanted to put this in the post originally.. well I guess i should have. With my thoughts on making more synergies, I obviously believe that they would need to be CLEANED UP a lot. This could be making it more clear to players who want to use it, or smaller radius. Or whatever you could think of!... that is why I want the discussion.

✭No.People are unaware of the Undaunted passives. Synergies provide for a nice resource management and I always activate any synergy I can while tanking dungeons.
That being said, sometimes there is a clusterf**k of synergies all around and the game makes it difficult to activate that one synergy you really need (hello Shards).
So, while I do want synergies to become more meaningful, I'd really hate it if there were just more synergies added that would cluster the battlefield.

I55UE5✭✭✭Yes.As I have already explained in my post, I am for synergies. I personally believe synergies can only help the current combat, so i apologize if the post is bias in that way. It would make fighting much more dynamic and flavorful. Even if some of the synergies are as simple as giving the ally one of the Major buffs, they need to be made more clear and more frequent. I have sooo much more I could talk about on this subject, but want to leave it open to everyone else.
Please leave a comment explaining why you chose your answer and what cool things you could think of with synergies in place. Thanks!!!0 -

Agreed on that point. They would need to be cleaned up. Maybe making them smaller, but more clear to allies in some way. As well as limiting how many players can activate a synergy.Edited by I55UE5 on January 23, 2016 12:48PM0 -

✭✭In my opinion there should be a priority list that every player can create for himself before adding more synergies. At the moment when there are multiple synergies, you can never be sure, which one you are going to get (it's not always the one that gets highlighted), so if you don't want to make your tank angry because you are stealing his shards, better never use them at all. And as tank I sometimes have to activate multiple pointless synergies untill I get the one that I want.0 -

if you need shards as tank all i can say L2P.
as for more synergy's yes because it makes for more diverse team/gameplay. all i would like to see now a occisional synergy use by a dps except for the stam dps useing shards lol.... but that's more a community issue ;P1 -
xellink✭✭✭No.Forced teamplay. Don't like it. There is a purpose for them, but synergies overlap synergies and you can't choose which ones you want to activate there are too many synergies all over the place.1

Oh for sure! When a player picks up a skill and reads the synergy, they may believe it to actually help someone because in some cases the synergy is not even that horrible. Alas, they are not clear to allies, so they will continue spamming their DPS rotation ignoring it.
No part of a combat system should be ignored 70% of the time.0 -

I am not saying that currently all synergies in game are weak. Did you read any of it or just want to tell people you use these synergies every so often and are leet player?
Its the fact that MOST of them are ignored because they either suck in comparison to those mentioned, or they are not telegraphing well enough to players.Edited by I55UE5 on January 23, 2016 1:23PM0 -

I agree synergies overlapping is an issue and should have stated in the OP that I think they would need a bit of a fix before making more of them. Edited it, sorry.0 -

✭Yes.
sore synergies are great though, not every one though but things like the boneshield synergy which gives the player a great shield. come to think of it all undaunted abilty's have great synergys0 -

Yes! Synergies could also allow players to use their own synergy to activate a combo, or something of the like. Less button smashing, more gitting gud!0 -

I think there should be time limit though because syngeries were meant to enhance group content so you'd have to be in a group and say a skill lasts 6 seconds if none picks it up in 3 seconds the final 3 seconds the caster of said skill can.Talons Fury - Sorc. Tank

LBxFinalDeath✭✭✭✭Yes.I'd like it if werewolves could use all synergies when transformed.
Actually I don't think using a single synergy is possible while transformed.Edited by LBxFinalDeath on January 23, 2016 1:41PM1 -

Right. Werewolf would be much more desirable. With WW, you are limited to those 5 skills and beating your left mouse key to death. Imagine working with a friend/ally to get a synergy that would make your werewolf stronger.0 -

What if your party leader in hard content calls you a scrub and tells you to use a synergy in your rotation to increase DPS. The synergy looks cool, activates smoothly/timely, and actually does increase your DPS?
