✭✭Besides weaving and gap closers, are other animations causing issues for people? In the sea of terrible things in this patch, one shining star for me has been the fact that I can actually cast blazing spears and have them land.
Dizzying swing is horrendous. I got into a 1v1 with another player using it, and we where both sliding all over the f*** place. The animations where over all just disgusting. I am playing NB until something is done about this. I still get desyncs with weaving, but nothing as horrible as dizzying swing and crit charge.- Mojican2 -

Thanks for linking a video where the jump cut before wipe was too late: 3:30--5 visible IR in a group btw...wait, no, that's 35 zerging those valiant AD and DC down/ whatever other bs ego defense mechanism each faction pulls. Also, LOL @ Dreamstars being allowed to be healer in any group, ever
Anyway, I don't understand why you're linking pug farming videos like it's something noteworthy. It won't make anyone elevate you to Dimmu or Casuale status. I remember having small man v small man fights against Casuale,Dimmu, and Mano before Dimmu and Casuale left--don't remember you there. Tbh, you were always judged to be below Tripwyr status from EP viewpoint. Not like any of this even matters outside of this impromptu posturing fest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯0 -

✭✭In pve, I went down 5-8k dps on bosses. I use same rotation and still improves. The skills I used got buffed too and so did my class.PC, EU server, Ebonheart Pact
Finally a reason not to play League of Legends2 -
I know most damage abilites were buffed overall, but I feel like people are taking way too much damage than they should. I was testing on a friend (who had 20k hp), and my attack did 9k damage to him, but the wierd thing is his hp went down all the way to 10%. Which means I did 90% damage even though it said I had only done 9k damage. I kept testing and although I was hitting the consistent 9k damage, my friends HP bar was not moving consistently. Sometimes it would do 30% of his health, 50%, and just random numbers. A lot of people I have talked to have also noticed that damage seems to be unusually high. People had theories saying that (actually most people I talked to said this including @Sypherpk) where damage wasn't registering for some abilities and THEN they would register after another ability hits you. So if someone snipes you for 3k, you won't notice it until you get hit by another ability. I don't know, I need to gather evidence but at this point I am 99.9% sure damage is weird and insane at the moment. Please discuss in the comments.

After every patch, it always takes me a few days for my motor skills to readjust to the decline in responsiveness. You'd be surprised how much your brain will go through to adjust so you can enjoy the game. Probably takes me longer because I'm getting older and my neuroplasticity is declining.

Tsar_Bogatyr✭✭✭RinaldoGandolphi wrote: »As I mentioned in another thread armor and spell pen has been out of control for awhile, but now it's just dumb. Sharpened gives an insane amount now. Sharpened is giving more Spell Pen then Nirnhoned did last patch and now stamina builds have access to the same level of penetration and can stack weapon damage higher. Hence why your now getting wrecked like i noticed far easier then before.
Lets look at the Physical/Spell Resist Mitigation Formula's and how this works.
Physical/Spell mitigation*: (resistance-100)/(level*10)
So lets say you have 25,000 Spell Resist
Everyone has a base 100 Armor and Spell Pen before equipping any weapons with penetration traits, putting points in Spell Erosion/Piercing, or having 5 pieces of Light Armor with Concentration.
A Sharpened staff gives 5160 Spell Pen at gold(it may be slightly more or slightly less its early i need my coffee, if this value is wrong tell me so i can update the formula)
Light Armor gives 4884 Spell Penetration with the Concentration Passive from Light Armor.
We will assume 900 Spell Pen from Spell Erosion(im being conservative here)
We will also assume they inflict you with Major Breech which reduces your Spell Resist by 5281 points
So 25,000 SR is around 37% Mitigation
Now lets re-do that calculation with the above scenarios:
(25,000-16,325)/(66*10)
That 37% mitigation becomes 13% mitigation. This means they easily negated 67% of your defenses. This is broken no matter how you want to shake it. Stamina builds can get weapon damage higher then magic users can get spell damage making the difference in pen values a moot, but giving stamina builds more pen then nirnhoned gave magic users last patch is just overkill of the highest level
Using these calculations, The average Stamina Nightblade in this game will render roughly 17,000 of your Physical Armor moot.the average caster will render 18,000 or so of your Spell Resist useless
So if you have 25,000 Armor he will render 68% of your resistance useless which means heavy armor is useless. This is completely broken and unbalanced when Armor and Spell Resist have restrictive caps and sacrifices must be made to get them to reasonably high levels, you shouldn't be able to ignore so much of it without even really trying...they keep pushing the Spell and Weapon damage higher and higher every update, the last thing they needed was to make it even easier to ignore all of everyones defenses.
Simply put, You will need roughly 27,000 Armor just have a measly 10,000 Armor(15% mitigation) against a Stam Blade or a caster.
So unless your running 33k+ Armor or Spell Resist, your better off just stacking everything into Hardy, and Elemental Defender because everyone is running around Naked in Cyrodiil wearing clothes that give them stat bonuses but pretty much no damage mitigation at all.....FFS....This just makes the damage sheild meta, even at 6 seconds all the more appealing.
it easier to get higher spell dmg than wep dmg altho it depends on the class, with new changes u can hit 6.5k sd0 -

✭Yes absolutely.
Ive seen several times my death recap shows attacks i didnt see happen for at least thirty seconds. I will be 100% health then a 5k binding javelin will one shot me with 4 other classes damage abilities including a dragon leap, which i mean comeon thats kind of obvious if it happened.

Respond to what? Damage "feels" higher?
I'm the last person to cut ZoS any slack here, but what are they supposed to do to confirm our gut intuitions given without any evidence whatsoever? Aside from being randomly teleported halfway across the map when people gap close me and it taking 12 presses of my ultimate button to get it to actually fire, I don't think I am dying faster or more often than I did before the patch.
The one point raised in this thread that does merit ZoS feedback is the animation cancelling changes. I don't remember a feedback thread for this on the PTS forums and since this was an issue from the DB PTS, ZoS should have told us what they were doing and been super responsive to whether or not they got it right this time. From my point of view, I have noticed the change but don't think it's a big deal since I have adjusted to it fairly seamlessly, but I'm not one of those people who use multiple animation cancels every global cooldown. I just weave in attacks and I have been able to do that fine.
Edit: Maybe damage is higher ... but if that's the case, then it should not be too hard for people to provide evidence and examples.Edited by Joy_Division on June 3, 2016 2:32PMMake Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.2 -

For one thing, ZOS could acknowledge that it has heard people's issues and that it will look into those issues if given some videos and/or other specifics. To be fair, though, people have been posting specific examples as well as the circumstances behind their concerns. I'm quite sure videos are forthcoming . . .well, other posts have provided videos of animation cancel problems and the gap closing issue. ZOS has yet to respond to those.

Dreyloch✭✭✭✭✭I have a few thoughts on this whole thing. It seems the death recaps are not exactly showing everything. It looks like your getting hit for far less than the fight seemed to dish out at you. I think that's a fair assumption for most of us..no?
Poisons- (and forgive me if I'm not totally familiar with these yet)..they all have a DoT component. Perhaps the type with health debuff DoT's are stacking? So while your taking damage from wrecking blows, crystal frags, etc etc...this DoT could be stacking, ticking etc.either by the same player, or multiple players..also not showing up on death recaps. Few times I've been out there I can't recall seeing anything to do with poisons on my recap.
Armor- (I preface this by saying I recall hearing armor degrades now in PvP?)
We all know they made Impen. now take less damage where it needs to be repaired less. However, (and forgive me as I can't test this theory atm) perhaps we're so ingrained to thinking we don't need to repair while doing PvP that no one has checked after a few deaths on where their armor protection is at? So say for instance I use some infused pieces, or divines in my gear. I die 5+ times. Now my armor isn't totally broken, but my armor "class" has declined somewhat. Add this into the already talked about sharpened trait...and maybe there's a connection?
I could be wrong on all of this, I like to play the game, not hurt my meager brain trying to figure out how many ways the Dev's have played with the math this time around. Or the last time...or the NEXT time...lol"The fear of Death, is often worse than death itself"0
