✭Interesting changes that they made, indeed. It doesn't seem like the changes are really that drastic, either. If they lowered one race's ability- they added a whole new ability to supplement it. Smart thinking!
agree

It can be. Especially in pvp maps, where fall damage hurts a whole lot more (even for simple things like jumping off a rock on your horse).Ilsabet Menard - DC Breton Nightblade archer - Savior of Pretty Much Everything, Grand Overlord & Empress Nubcakes

Yeah, seems like this game has a lot more fall damage than most MMOs.
Well, EQ was big on that and monks had "safe fall" I just hadn't encountered it other than minor damage here. Of course I'm not jumping off lighthouses or ghratwood tree either so....0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I'm actually liking that they added new passive skills but didn't do anything too drastic changes to most existing skills... and I'll take that 10% fall damage reduction for Bosmer since I tend to impatiently jump off cliffs... although the buff to Breton won't help me at all since I never PvP.Edited by ADarklore on June 27, 2016 11:35PMCP: 2105 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

✭✭On second thought... that Argonian racial change isn't very good at all. I just realized that my CP667 Argonian tank is now useless. All that tanking gear... gone.
They may want to increase the max magicka for Argonians if they want to keep it as a "healer" race. 3% ain't sh*t.
ha what? Because you no longer receive a minute amount of healing, your tank is useless?0 -

✭✭I'm glad for argonians, but orcs are still in need of help.
Other changes are good too.Profanity filter is a crime against the freedom of speech. Also gags.0 -

✭Let me back peddle once again.... hmmmm... If I have an Argonian DK tank and I use Burning Embers for my self heal... would that 9% healing done make my Burning Embers heal me for a sh*t ton of HP?
@jaburns
That's what I want to know too....
Do skills like Burning Embers, Entropy, Bloodthirst etc. count as "healing done"? If so, then it's not a bad buff at all.
To my mind, "healing done" sounds more like outgoing heals that are bestowed on other players, not incoming heal effects you get from things like Entropy and the Siphoning line....
"Healing received" is much clearer, in regard to regenerating health from Burning Embers etc.
I guess it's the semantic difference between incoming and outgoing healing, and whether incoming healing also counts as "healing done". I hope I'm wrong and Argonians got a nice buff, but the way it reads, it's not clear at all - and almost sounds like a nerf for tanks.
Either way, it doesn't sound like Argonians will be getting extra healing from other players, which is definitely going to affect some tank builds.0
