    Oh.... Whelp maybe I am wrong but that change to wrecking blow just made Stam Sorc a lot worse in pvp, unless they provide another reliable melee range stun.

    If you want the stun use the other morph and get your empower from a dif skill.

    ok, the only things i take issue with is the ward time reduction, its reduced to much in my opinion. Also, keep at least one of the trapping webs magicka based, seriously, its a mainstay of one of my fav builds for my sorcerer

    OMG! Thank you ZoS! Those Vampire changes are absolutely fantastic, I bloody well love you! I feared the worst, yet it came out good! These changes are amazing, please, please do not change them again!

    I love the fact that they're now more in-line with TES vampires, as they become stronger by the longer they go without feeding, but in return, gets more weaknesses, it fits perfectly, and the big stage timer change to a whole 6 hours is fantastic for all roleplayers, and all those that wish to remain in the lesser stages of vampirism.

    I applaud you ZoS, as a vampire fanboy in Elder Scrolls THANK YOU!<3

    Potency runestones no longer need to be harvested, with every tier of both polarities now available for purchase from any enchanting vendor, including Alliance Point enchanting vendors.

    Does this mean you CAN'T harvest them anymore? Or just that they are now available for sale?

    They cannot be harvested anymore; all Enchanting runestones now give Aspect and Essence. You can still get them by deconstructing glyphs, though, but the main way is to just buy what you need from a vendor.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't see anything on the IC district capture mechanics...

    "In addition, we have numerous changes and improvements for previous DLC game packs including a new District capture system for Imperial City, and rebalancing for the Imperial City dungeons."

    That's from their teaser.

    It's listed within the Big Changes under DLC Game Packs, around the middle of that section.

    ofc - stam dk -> a balanced class -> gets poison dmg
    mana nb -> a balanced class -> gets desease dmg
    mana sorc -> a balanced class (that will be less strong if all others classes are buffed) -> GET A 6secs SHIELD?!?!
    stam sorc -> IS STILL THE WORST SHIAT INAGME!

    In my opinion the base damage of inevidable det. shouldve stayed the same be cause it has 1.8 sec. of cast time risk.

    If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.

    Any suggestions? Right now I am thinking it is probably better to get the empower from the WB and the stun from something else (streak?), but that still changes things pretty dramatically.

    Looks good overall.

    General Comments: A little sad that Dawnbreaker of Smiting will not be magic damage anymore, as all stam users will use Flawless anyways. Nice that annulment works on physical damage though, this should help all magicka users out with high physical damage and makes the nerf to my beautiful hardened ward not as bad. DW changes look great, needed a buff. WB nerf looks great as well though personally never had an issue with this skill. Changing appropriate stamina skills to scale with poison/disease is a great change, but DAMN is incapacitating strike gonna hit hard. Glad I'm leveling a stamina DK, because it looks like it will have some SERIOUS PvE DPS soon. Proximity det nerf is unfortunate for me, and maybe good for the game overall, but I don't feel it is necessary in light of the major stamina buffs. Losing it and 25% of the damage on my dawnbreaker is going to hurt my burst. Temps got some buffs they wanted, so good job there.

    Sorc Comments (My main PvP/PvE): The hardened ward nerf hurts me as someone who mains sorcerer in PvE and PvP, but was probably needed for the sake of balance. Negate changes look AWESOME! Great job making this ultimate cool again. Still probably will not use pets until they take up one bar slot (especially now that I can't cast hardened ward and have it on them for 20 seconds). The change to thundering presence looks good for stamsorcs, but I don't play one so I can't say for sure.

    Major Issue (IMO): Bone shield might make stamina users a bit OP in the defense department in PvP, especially considering their significantly buffed offensive power. Will be annoying combined with vigor, 20% dodge chance passive, and active dodging. I do appreciate that it unbinds stamina builds from 2H a bit.

    Might have picked up vampire due to the regen not requiring an ability to be slotted, but with FG ability buffs (especially stamina dawnbreaker)... yea no.

    EDIT: YAY NO MORE UGLY-ASS BOUND AEGIS

    Assuming all of these changes to combat and gameplay actually work as advertised, I think the bucket list has been covered.

    >_> I will take this with a grain of salt Zenimax, if these changes arent working, goodwill be lost this day instead of gained.
