GriM_728✭✭✭I looked forward to this next patch, was looking forward to seeing what you guys would do for stam sorcs. Hoped for a stam morph of crystal frags for starters...well time to walk away from the stam Sorc and work on a stam dk.3 -
Zakor✭✭✭Wow....just wow...we got 11 pages of kinda great dk feedback now since 2.4 and you changed:- visuals
Points that could and need to be addressed:- Obsidian Shard (Heal morph of stonefist)
- Obsidian Shield (or at least igneous shard, huge punch in the face for healers...with a chair or something)
- Dragonblood
- Whip
- Idle time of Inferno
- Molten Weapons
- ...
Are you even reading the (sometimes really great) ideas over there? Because it doesn't seem like you do!
@ZOS_GinaBruno Can you please confirm that this feedback has been read and discussed(!!!) internally? And with "this feedback" i mean any other suggestion than changing these visuals....8 -
LorDrek✭✭✭Stamina users finally get a decent shield and they revert it back, they should make it where all shields are scaled to your health.Stamina users finally get a decent shield and they revert it back, they should make it where all shields are scaled to your health.
Well, stam users still can dodge way more then magika user.
So havin a stam scaling shield+ 10 role dodges seems a bit op
Magicka still spam bilion shields.

zerosingularity✭✭✭✭Only real issue I take stock with is reverting Bone Shield back to HP scaling. Now it will be back to being under-utilized. It was nice in PvE, stam users could slot a shield for those few instances where dodging is not possible. Kinda bummed about that. Tanks won't use it in PvE, cause stamina issues, battle spirit makes it super small in PvP, so why would we use it?
Still no word on item sets from the old days of not long ago being fixed. Several crafted sets need buffs, same with Maelstrom 1-hander.NA-PC
Kaineth - Stamina Nightblade (Weakest Player Ever!)
Elena Stormwood - Magicka Sorcerer (vMA no Death 12/21/15 Score 401148)
Sheila Feyrondas - Magicka Dragonknight Tank (Frost staves are gonna be fun!)
*Disclaimer* I fail at emotional communication, so assume what I say is NOT meant to be offensive.2 -
flguy147ub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭No buffs for Magicka DKs for PVP? We still have a wet noodle for burst damage, taking away Dawnbreaker really hurt us, our whip needs a damage buff. Also no changes still to Dragonblood. We have been asking for these changes for months.11

Doing one extra ability like magelight before you use your ultimate isn't that big of a deal and just one extra step to get the same result and still hit harder on a magblade.Its pretty much the same thing for stamblade its Ambush fear incap execute, Magblade Lotus fan Magelight fear Soul harvest execute. Still a dead enemy not to mentioned that Magblade would have proxy going no need for a execute.
You can Empower it with just about any Mages guild ability.
Because when scaling with Mighty, it was doing way too much damage for being that cheap and getting a guaranteed CC effect, not to mention also increasing all damage done for a few seconds after the fact.
it wasnt doing way ott damage on its own. only when used with ambush this nerf isnt just the stam morph either its for the magicka one as well that has been scaling with magic since ever. The reason nobody complained about the magicka one is because lotus fan doesnt empower so it wasnt possible to do a 3 hit kill.
yes you can but that isnt the same burst from steath we were seing with the stam morph. because you would have to use something from the mages line which would mean lotus fan from steath/then weak mages skill/then soul harvest/then concealed weapon. compared to ambush from steath/empowered in cap strike/either execute or concealed weapon while stunned.0 -

100% Glad to see tweaks like this. This is the kind of balance we need in this game. Anyone who harps at this change is ignorant to balance. The abilities were slightly over-tuned and these changes prove that. They are still very capable ability's and i for one will still be using them.Nightblade
Assassination
Death Stroke: Reduced the damage of this ability and its morphs by 4.5%
Teleport Strike: Reduced the damage of this ability and its morphs by 6.5%.
Good work.
Even though a majority of the patch notes are so bad it's funny. I have to agree with this. Not necessarily a nerf to these skills, but the numbers used. We should be seeing small tweaks like this at least every three weeks on live. If ZOS did that then maybe balance wouldn't be so off right now.Edited by Ajax_22 on May 16, 2016 4:00PM8 -

magblade has lower burst and the extra skils required gives time to shield or heal. also why would a stamblade even use fear after ambush the stun grants cc immunity? This just means every stam build will be running dbos and folks will still get burst down because the empower is to strong.1 -
Archmage1✭✭✭You have to be kidding. Why doesn't ZOS look at our feedback for Sorcs? Now more nerfs to Surge?
Sorcs are the weakeset DPS class, have no real abilities as we are tied to staves, no heal now with more Surge nerfs, shields are horrible, and no additional DPS buffs.
C'MON ZOS, please help out us Sorcs and stop nerfing the only skills that make Sorc Srocs...9 -

4: Bug fixes non existent again?

Why ZOS, why?
You guys... common...Zos has a vision here and i think it's great. Poisons are an expensive system to boot. You also need to remember that when poisons with multiple effects are used, they become diluted but also if anyone else uses a different poison on you, it will further dilute the current status effects.
Purge has become even more necessary to run once poisons come out. The only real thing this harm's is dueling but you could always ban poisons from duels if you don't want to deal with effects like the ones you 2 have mentioned.
This makes those 10 minute fights a lot shorter. Consider the fact in cp campaigns how resource management on some builds is not an issue, i think this is a great quality of life change. Poisons offer many new buff's some classes could not receive, this means more build diversity. There is also some nice new debuff's, the new detect debuff will prevent cloaking for 10 seconds and it's a poison proc... that's very cool.

Nice change.
I would appreciate it more if it didn't come with changes that destroyed my main class (alright, I'm being dramatic, I am actually just a little upset). Oh well. In times like this, I am glad I leveled a stamina and a magicka version of each class.Edited by Abeille on May 16, 2016 4:11PMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.

Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.

They said it's going to be fixed for Live, well, hopefully@ZOS_GinaBruno. On behalf of all templars, we are now worried about thaumaturge not correctly working on jabs/sweeps.
Is there still time left for this to be implemented and tested before live?
I get sadder and sadder each PTS update it isn't included in and am not looking forward for it for live. Worries me.#MOREORBS2 -

Magic has heals in every single class and a whole skill line for healing you can only roll so much not all stamina builds are Red Guard, Bosmer and Imperials with Max Stamina, Stamina recovery or both. Not everyone can roll 10 times in a fight when We use stamina to fight and heal and take a double hit for blocking (No stamina recovery and stamina loss on impact).
A health and Stamina Morph would be fair.Chaos Shadow-Scale: Shadow Archer

You have to fear them first because any competent player will block or roll dodge your Incap strike.That's why most people who play NB say the guarantee stun is useless since you can dodge it.Even with fear if your fighting a stam build with shuffle they can still dodge the ultimate.Agreed but a Class Ultimate should still be viable which with the Nerf its no longer the class DBOS completely overshadows it.If their nerf Death stroke a single target non channel ultimate they should Nerf all ultimate the same amount.
Doing one extra ability like magelight before you use your ultimate isn't that big of a deal and just one extra step to get the same result and still hit harder on a magblade.Its pretty much the same thing for stamblade its Ambush fear incap execute, Magblade Lotus fan Magelight fear Soul harvest execute.

tennant94✭✭✭Buff crit surge I don't even need to go on the pts to know it will be bad. Sorcerer has no major mending and now crappy crit surge. Jeez Louise you guys buffed stam dks who are already ripping the field to shreds, and stam nbs. 1.5k heals every second isn't right especially since you need to risk damaging an opponent to get the heal there is very minimal reward for risk here. Dks can just stomp out igneous hit rally and vigor heal to full same with stamplars. Stam blades cloak. rally and vigor whilst been invisible and potentially invulnerable. What is the sorcerer supposed to do streak away to apply vigor and rally for example. Well no because that's only greeted with crit Rush crit Rush crit Rush or ambush spam spam spam completely negating the heal and leaving you needing to streak or los again. It really needs a juicy buff.8

1.5k boosted by CPs and can crit. At least be fair if you're going to spout nonsense.2
