Dragonknight
- Ardent Flame
- Burning Embers (Searing Strike morph): Fixed an issue where Rank IV of this morph was not allowing multiple Dragonknights to apply the Damage over Time component to the same target.
- Fiery Grip: Increased the duration of the Major Expedition buff granted by this ability and its morphs to 8 seconds from 2 seconds.
- Inferno: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs would display an incorrect Spell Critical Strike Chance percentage on your character UI after swapping weapons.
- Lava Whip: Increased the damage from this ability and its morphs by 5%.
- Standard of Might (Dragonknight Standard morph): This morph now increases your damage done and decreases your damage taken by 12/13/14/15% while standing inside the standard, down from 17/18/19/20%.
- Draconic Power
- Coagulating Blood (Dragon Blood morph): This morph now heals you for 33% of your missing Magicka instead of 33% of your missing Health.
- Dragon Blood: This ability and its morphs can now Critically Strike.
- Ferocious Leap (Dragon Leap morph): This morph now deals Flame Damage instead of Physical Damage.
- Hardened Armor (Spiked Armor morph): Increased the damage shield value granted by this morph to 15% of your Maximum Health from 10% of your Maximum Health.
- Iron Skin: Reduced the amount of additional damage you can block from Rank I of this passive to 4% from 5%.
- Note that due to how percentages are calculated, the total damage blocked with this rank remains unchanged.
- Spiked Armor: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs would deal their thorns damage when the attacker procced a Disease or Poison Weapon Enchantment on the Dragonknight.
- Volatile Armor (Spiked Armor morph): Increased the damage of the Damage over Time component of this morph by approximately 20%.
- Earthen Heart
- Battle Roar: Significantly revised this passive ability’s tooltip to more accurately describe the values of Health, Magicka, and Stamina it restores based on the Ultimate’s cost.
- Note that decimal values will be truncated from the tooltip, so values restored may be slightly higher than described.
I like the whip change. Basically they took 5% off standard of might and gave it to whip. We will lose some dot damage in PvE with our banner down but we will gain 5% whip damage while the banner is charging. I'm not going to math that but I really like the extra flat whip damage we got out of it.
Dragonblood is really confusing. Can't tell if it's giving me magicka or health based on my magicka. Guess I'll have to wait till pts is downloaded.
I'm glad to see volatile armor get a buff can't wait to see what it ticks for (specially with Thaumaturge)
Engulfing flame and dragon leap should make for a nice combo.
What does everyone else think?
Retired.

GDB remains the same, Coagulating heals you based on your missing Magicka. Which may mean better heals due to it being scaled off a larger resource pool.
Plus it can crit now
Kinda looks promising
The damage buff to whip and the various fixes are nice as well. Plus Leap Ulti has a Magicka morph now, which is a great addition too for a Mag DK. And I bet Volatile's gonna be a NB's worst nightmare now

✭✭✭✭✭This requires testing bad . It will change resource management in fights and I can't wrap my head around the reasoning but would like to know .0 -
Armitas✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭So one of the things mDK's have been complaining about is sustain. Well our lack of sustain will now keep our Dragonsblood healing high....but then adding magicka recovery and reduce magicka cost so we can cast skills will also make our healing sub par. At some point someone is going to die and say "man I need to lower my sustain so I can survive". That's...not right.Edited by Armitas on January 3, 2017 10:20PMRetired.

✭✭The dragon Blood change really forces DK into low regen builds to maximize its potency.

✭✭✭✭Force Shock: This ability and its morphs can no longer be reflected. Beam-type attacks cannot be reflected, but are able to be blocked.
Also of note, additional nerf to DK wings. We were expecting a buff here but it now does less.Edited by Armitas on January 3, 2017 10:28PMRetired.

✭I don't get the change to dragon blood... makes no sense. The rest for dks is great. But still no heal means I won't be returning to elder scrolls online lol hey maybe next patch update in 6 months though! Pft.2 -
Bashev✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Still no changes with the gap closer? If chains dont move you to the target after a dodge it is a useless skill again.
What i can see is 1h/s + frost staff. When you are out of magicka you switch to 1h/s and vice versa. Perma block all the way and use crowding swarm for a gap closer :PBecause I can!2 -
omfgitsbatman✭✭✭✭This means you can't run a high recovery build if you're hoping to heal yourself with dragonblood. Great -.- my mag dk is gonna love thatHe's the healer Tamriel deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hurt his tank. Because he can heal them to full. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful rejuvinator. A Cloaked Healer.

Very happy with the rest of the changes tho, whip buff is nice, extra dot from Volatile, plus mag dk cheap ult is all a plus0 -
Moglijuana✭✭✭✭✭I'm liking the minor changes...but the Dragon Blood change...Why Coagulating??? They needed to changed GDB since it gives the same buff tri-pots give...like what...Either way it doesn't look that appealing over healing ward...STILL.Edited by Moglijuana on January 3, 2017 10:35PM0

✭✭So dragon blood now. 40k magika...pop DB whilst at 20k magika and heal for 6600? About right? But it can crit...so up to a 9k heal..oddly though the more you spam it the bigger the heal.
Whip = good. Should be about 16k ish now on crit.
Rest = useless. I was expecting a whole lot more.
On the other hand we gain more damage by using an inferno staff on top of Dunmer passives. So magDK becomes OP as.

DK actually took a hit in terms of trials dps, and it wasn't exactly the best to begin with. The standard nerf means our dots will do less damange. Plus trap nerf etc.... so even with a harder whip DK's lose out overall.

Arrrgggghhhh I need a heal, oh I used my last bit of magicka to stay alive. Sweet half health! Damn, only got to 49% health and that templar was spamming radiant destruction on me from 33 yards out of my reach because he dodged my gap closer.
