PTS Patch Notes v2.4.2
-
potirondb16_ESO✭✭✭Actually there should be no specific tree requirement ;PFfs so much complaining from Sorcs. Sorcs aren't gonna be that bad. Have been on PTS. It's not as good as a stamblade sure. But just because the class isn't OP doesn't mean it needs buffs. I can't sum it up better than L2p. I think the changes are fine.
Except the CP block changes
those are awful.
Back at ya !

Sorcerer- Dark Magic
- Dark Exchange: Increased the amount of health restored from this ability and its morphs by 100%.
- Storm Calling
- Disintegrate:
- Renamed this passive ability to Implosion.
- This passive ability now also grants all Physical Damage you deal a chance to instantly pulverize low health enemies, dealing additional Physical Damage to them.
- Updated this passive’s tooltip to indicate what the health threshold is for it to trigger.
- Energized: This passive ability now also increases your Physical Damage done in addition to the Shock Damage done.
- Hurricane (Lightning Form morph): This morph now also grants the Minor Expedition buff at all times while it is active.
- Surge: This ability and its morphs now restore a flat value of health whenever you deal a Critical Strike. It will now also proc on any Critical Strike instead of only direct damage Critical Strikes, but can only restore health once every second.
- Disintegrate:
...
@ZOS_GinaBruno there's a slight inaccuracy here: According to the tooltip on PTS Implosion procs on Shock as well as Physical Damage. So the magicka sorc version has not been nerfed, it is still there.1 - Dark Magic

✭✭✭✭✭I see why they made the CP Change with Block cost reduction.
In Heavy Armor your stamina recovery is often ***,not to mention you get none while blocking so you generally load up on Cost reduction (usually 75 points) and then might pick up the Dodge reduction (atleast 20 points) and stamina recovery is next. Oh and the Bash Cost Reduction...So now you can go green and Split between Bash cost reduction/block reduction/stamina cost reduction.
Over in the Red tree you meanwhile had to choose between Hardy/Crit Reduction/Thickened Skin/Elemental Defender and Block Cost Reduction.
Now if you're PVE you can load up on more Spell Resist or PvP load up on more Crit Resist for the shield passive.

What the actual ***? And if you have to make this completely unnecessary change, at least move shield expert with it. This change really falls under the "If it ain't broken, lets break it!" mentality.
I think the intention here was to keep us from stacking skill cost reduction with regen and block cost reduction and have the buffs to sturdy and sword and board.
Maybe they also wanted to give us a reason to use the shadow? I mean who puts points there anyway?Playing since beta...2 - The Steed

Not really, on magicka tanks you'd split between block cost reduction now/magickal recovery/magical cost reduction.
And you still get to pick more out of the Red Tree.
Like right now on Live..I pretty much put 50 points in Resistant and 50 Points in Block Cost Reduction, and then focus on the other trees in the red ones. Now i'll basically be able to dump 25 points into resistant and have my shield passive and dump that remaining 25 points over in Dot reduction or the other damage reduction trees

I made a post about the Steed tree and having more consistency in the CP tree in Wrobels thread. If my post led to this in any way then I have made a mistake by not being clear enough. This is the farthest thing from what I was writing about and actually made things worse. The Steed tree has got passives for Medium Armor users that HA users wouldn't benefit from. Medium Armor Focus and Phase to be precise. The comment in that thread was implying that these bonuses don't belong and to switch those for something that would benefit Heavy Armor users more considering you took away the Block passive in the Heavy Armor Skill line. Not to take Block Expertise out for something else a HA user wouldn't use.

Depending on your Recovery i'd max Recovery then split it between Magicka Cost Reduction and Block Cost Reduction.
you end up gaining a crap ton more out of Red Line + the extra Block Cost reduction they added to Sturdy and 1hd/Shield this patch.
I'd say the only additional change i'd make is move the Medium Armor Focus out of the Steed and swap it for the Heavy armor focus in the Lord.
that way PVE players if they wanted to go for the Shield Passive could split between Spell Resist/Physical Resist if they wantedhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXpX7JMwRXtczc5GTrIYRIw

Edit: Ah, Champion tree changes. I see it now
Because we need to recraft gear at least switch 4 pieces from divines to sturdy just for the reduced cost and sacrifice a massive loss from whichever mundus we tank with.
Incase you wish to know, each pieces requires 8 tempers to max out, x 4 just for a trait change, not including the 4 kutas.
All of this because bracing was just removed and switched.
You would notice this if you tanked tough things properly (no medium/light armoru tanking rubbish) such as SO or vet mol for example.
We have on live sorcs who tank VMoL in light armor. Just because we don't tank in heavy armor with sword and board and begging for shards like an addict, no reason to dump on us because we don't play basic tank. Besides that silly line though, everything you said is true 100% true, it is pure BS.1 -

So now it's no longer possible to get low-level potency runes from harvesting? That will be very bad for crafter players who create glyphs for lower-level friends or guild mates. The level of harvested Potency runes should depend on the zone level, not player level (except in battle-levelled zones, obviously).
@Enodoc Previous patch notes said Potency runes will be purchasable. This update didn't say they were removing the ability to purchase ones from merchants. This change is likely in response to those indicating it is bad if all potency runes for all levels must be purchased and no longer drop at all.
This change is a good compromise.
I for one am glad this change that Potency runes can once again be obtained from runestones rather than all character level potency runes will need to be purchased from merchant.

Enchanting- Potency runes can once again be obtained from runestones!
- Each harvestable runestone is guaranteed to contain an Essence and an Aspect rune, and one third of the runestones you find will also contain a Potency rune.
- Half the time, when you find a Potency rune it will be scaled to your combat level, and the other half of the time it will be scaled to your rank in the Potency Improvement passive.
I saw this, too ... is it possible "in battle-leveled zones" was simply missed from being added to this patch note?
Unfortunately no, I have tested it post-patch and it really is like it says in the patch notes - all zones are treated the same as battle-leveled zones when it comes to potency runes (but no other crafting mats work like this). I added my feedback to the enchanting thread, to my credit I stayed polite.GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

I've mixed every poison but that one. Where is it???? I sent a note to ESO and the response was instructing me to go to v6-10 area where Nightshade gear is dropped. When I explained that Nightshade was a supposed Reagent for new poison and that PTS wasn't registering Veteran levels anymore, their response was to ask if I had tried rebooting my computer or tried repair. Really, this is tech support?
Sorry to hear you got such a rubbish response (although not terribly surprised).
Is the problem that you are having trouble finding Nightshade to use in poison-making? If so I can help, it spawns in the same node-type as bugloss/ladies smock but with a very low spawn rate. Your best bet for finding some is to head to Alik'r, the oasis between Divad's Chagrin Wayshrine, and Goat's Head Oasis Wayshrine - there are a high concentration of reagent nodes in a small area around the little lakes there, and I usually find 2-3 nightshade on every farming run around those lakes (I was testing out poison-making myself and found that to be a good area to find some, make sure to pick all the flowers that you don't need too so that the nodes respawn). I hope that helps in some way.Edited by Epona222 on May 9, 2016 9:27PMGM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC
