New changes to Magicka
Amorpho
✭✭✭✭
I've heard on the grapevine that with the next patch there will be changes to Magicka, some nerfs to Stamina and other stuff. I've also just heard about alchemy reagents satchels for sale in IC for tel-var stones. I checked the forum and the ESO website news section but found nothing of the sort. Is there any official information out there? If so, where can I find it?

These are for the PC. You may or may not have them on console as I didn't see patch notes but there was a maintenance over the weekend that might have implemented them.
I'd suggest going to have a look as the satchels are located on the General Tel Var merchant in your IC home base. If they're there then it's active, if they aren't then they're not yet obviously.
Depending on patch roll out on consoles it could be between now and soon.The Legendary Nothing1 -

Reverted to what? Elemental Storm was just added in One Tamriel
You mean reverted to not exist? No way. It's a cool skill and unfortunately for the Heavy Armor/Max Damage+Proc sets/Great sustain Stam meta, Magicka actually has something that can cause you to flinch now.
Still, I think it's a too strong and deserves to have its damage reduced a little bit, but not so that it doesn't incinerate those who have 2-3 stacked on them anymore. Personally I think it deserves similar requirements to Magicka Detonation, where it deals less damage to a small group but massive damage to zergs. Whatever happens to Eye of the Storm should NOT affect Elemental Rage and should go in place when Stamina is finally balanced again.
My idea for Eye of the Storm would be something like:
• -30% base damage
• +5% damage done per tick per enemy in the radius of the Storm, up to +60% increased damage done.
If a single tick of damage dealt 5000 damage, it'd now deal 3500 damage. If 12 players are stacked within the radius, it'd deal 5600 damage per tick.
Great for outnumbered play and small groups, but no longer as great against a small group. Would help with splitting zergs a bit maybe.Edited by Vaoh on November 16, 2016 5:21PM6 -

Not true. It used to deal 50% of its current damage per tick but with a 10 second duration. This version of the ultimate was stupid and not even worth its 250 Ultimate cost.
I agree that the Eye of the Storm morph needs A BIT of nerfing, but not until Stamina is nerfed plenty as well.
There are two choices: Buff Magicka through OP skills and proc sets to be on par with Stamina, or seriously nerf Stamina so no one has to rely on broken OP stuff to be competitive with each other. I prefer to nerf Stamina, as it'll encourage skillful play over using OP sets and overbuffed skills.
Right now Heavy Armor Stamina builds are unbelievably powerful even without proc sets. It's terrible. We need to nerf the proc sets, nerf certain heavy armor sets, and nerf the heavy armor passives. Then we wouldn't have to buff Magicka much or even at all because it would be balanced.
If you don't like what I've said, you don't need to take it from me. The pathetic PvP population count is as low as it is because of how broken Stamina is. Asking for nerf to EotS before Stamina is somewhat balanced is very wrong.

Heavy armor isn't that bad. I thought so for awhile until I switched out light seducer for heavy seducer. The extra survivability is nice but you do notice a reduction in damage. I think heavy armor would be fine if the proc sets were gone. Certain heavy armor sets need nerfing and having alot of health is a very forgiving playstyle and needs to be looked at but some heavy armor sets are fineEdited by thankyourat on November 16, 2016 5:39PM0 -
boom782✭✭I don't know whether or not magicka needs to be buffed or stam needs to be nerfed but the fact that a magicka sorc is not the top DPS in the game kinda blows my mind.
When I think of pure DPS I think magic sorcerers. Squishy as F but able to lay down far more damage than any other class. That is far from the case with the current situation of things.5 -

That ultimate is balanced with its cost. The comparable skill is bats. It's 200 cost but at stage 4 is 158. Devouring heals, coining clouding hits harder (depends on class/race).
So when I compare clouding to firestorm, on my Khajiit nb, clouding is higher output. I completely disagree it needs a nerf.PSN: ***___Chan (3 _s)

I don't get why people think they deserve to survive three or four people spamming ultimates. That's four people. Four ultimates. You're dead. Respawn and get over it.
I've been triple and quadruple dawnbreaker before. All while under a negate. Not complaining, you should die to that.
It's not overpowered. But any damage reduction nerf should see the cost fall to 120.7 -

Here you go:
[–]ZOS_eWrobel,
Our goal is to make it more valuable to spend points in health instead of just going all magicka or stamina. The reason this is so powerful is you're getting to deal more damage and heal yourself for more by maxing offensive stats. The current design is still in progress, so l don't have concrete details for you right now.
And here two statements re balance:
[–]ZOS_eWrobel
Yup, we definitely have planned a good list of buffs for magicka DK and also balance in general for magicka vs stamina DPS.
[–]ZOS_eWrobel
More likely for update 13 since there are a lot of class changes coming with that one.

Heavy armor is not fine. It's a cancer to PvP. Under no circumstance should anyone be able to have great damage mitigation, great resource management, great healing, high max health, and high damage further buffed thanks to proc set burst.
1H/S being a viable skill line for damage dealing in PvP does not help balance either. There is a reason all of the "good" players are practically all Heavy Armor Stamina builds now (or Heavy Armor 1H/S Magicka Templars -_-). You gimp yourself by running Stamina unless you are a Stamina NB, as you can still effectively run Medium over Heavy.
Heavy armor is also much more beneficial to Stamina than Magicka in PvP. This is due in part to Black Rose. It's also due to Magica builds tending to ward up in one way or another with damage shields which have no resistance. On Stamina the extra mitigation is huge and the extra healing makes Vigor+Rally that much stronger.3 -

These are totally different skills.... Devouring Swarm grants you such a strong HoT you are invincible for the duration.
How can you compare the damage of a 250Ult cost skill like Elemental Storm (requiring a Destro Staff) which deals pure damage VS a 200Ult cost skill like Devouring Swarm (requires Vampirism) which deals damage and grants near invulnerability for its duration? Different costs, different skills..... no comparison.1 -

Not true. It used to deal 50% of its current damage per tick but with a 10 second duration. This version of the ultimate was stupid and not even worth its 250 Ultimate cost.
I agree that the Eye of the Storm morph needs A BIT of nerfing, but not until Stamina is nerfed plenty as well.
There are two choices: Buff Magicka through OP skills and proc sets to be on par with Stamina, or seriously nerf Stamina so no one has to rely on broken OP stuff to be competitive with each other. I prefer to nerf Stamina, as it'll encourage skillful play over using OP sets and overbuffed skills.
Right now Heavy Armor Stamina builds are unbelievably powerful even without proc sets. It's terrible. We need to nerf the proc sets, nerf certain heavy armor sets, and nerf the heavy armor passives. Then we wouldn't have to buff Magicka much or even at all because it would be balanced.
If you don't like what I've said, you don't need to take it from me. The pathetic PvP population count is as low as it is because of how broken Stamina is. Asking for nerf to EotS before Stamina is somewhat balanced is very wrong.
Here's a start at balancing Magicka and Stamina for starters: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/293753/buffing-light-armor-in-a-logical-way/p1
