PTS Patch Notes v2.7.3

Aliniel · January 2017

Let's pretend Sorcs and their pets are ok and need no fixes like champions points not applying to pets, spell power being useless with pets etc.

Every other MMO gives pets another window to check on their health bar. ESO is the "best" MMO of 2015 and 2016 but it doesn't need such thing.

Basically, let's leave pets (and therefore a whole Sorc skill line) useless for PvP and PvE group content for another few years.

After fighting a Target Skeleton, you will now get a report via the chat log indicating your damage per second as well as the length of the fight.

Small but significant for console users.

@ZOS_GinaBruno you probably forgot to include Honor the Dead fix in patchnotes?

The fix for this is still going through the pipeline and wasn't quite ready for this patch.

MaxwellC · January 2017

Interested in trying the new Dragon's blood out but nonetheless Green dragon's blood is still useless for tanks as it does not matter how much stamina you regen since at-least 80% of the time you are blocking. It would be nice if this gave x amount of stamina back upon usage like idk 200-300 stamina a second for 30 seconds.

@ZOS_RichLambert @Wrobel
You guys let me down brotha

No changes to the 'stand your ground' ability i.e. Flames of Oblivion. I really want this ability to be an AoE and now since this is most likely the last patch I guess I will never see it back as an AoE at-least this quarter or the next.

Added a higher-health Target Skeleton to Rolis Hlaalu's store: the Robust Target Skeleton. This Target Skeleton makes a better target for those who want to evaluate larger skeleton damage sums over long periods of time.

They already buffed pets...again in this dlc. Sorcs with pets can already solo just about anything. Never enough though right?

Anhedonie · January 2017

Well, this game was The Maelstrom Daggers Online way too long.
Time to shift the meta a bit.

Soris · January 2017

Im still upset about you haven't reconsider the CC removal of Blazing Spear.

Syiccal · January 2017

no love for stamplar sustain..really!!

VampiricByNature · January 2017

My Stamnb shall forever remain in Wrothgar to farm for my magicka toons. I must rename her "Magicka slave-farmer" so people will understand why I bother to have a stamina character as a pve player.

kookster · January 2017

Thank you zos for the dk buff. I look very forward to testing this when i get home! Man it's going to be torture waiting to get off.

Ulfgarde · January 2017

Love the changes overall. Could use some more but it will do for now.

Also, nice how the skeleton prints combat length + DPS. This will be helpful for console players for sure.

HeroOfNone · January 2017

Definitely liking the developer comments.

Is this it for major class and gear balancing? I remember update 3 being mentioned as the next rebalancing but this has less in it than update 2. I'm sure a lot of us would like to know if we'll see more tweaks or if this is it. I'm also missing a lot of the updates @ZOS_RichLambert said were coming to varying classes and the tweak to fix miat's pvp addon

Not only that but the dragon blood just finished off the Stam DK who got nailed this patch ...

@Fatalyis
Maybe if you guys complained as long as we did you know roughly 2 years, you'll get them to listen.

Already outclasses everyone else in DPS by a huge margin. But of course Sorcs going to find a way to complain.

Updated the prices on the War Enchanter's offerings to make them less enticing as a way to convert Alliance Points into gold.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Was worrying me a lot.

Previewing furniture will now take you to a preview environment where the camera will fully zoom out based on the size of the furniture.

This is big change and much appreciated.

kookster · January 2017

I dont care what everyone says, the patch notes so far for this next release look amazing. Be proud guys! @ZOS_RichLambert @Wrobel . I am now so excited to go back to mag DK.

First of all, finally thank you for listening on Dragon's Blood.

But really, nerfing Desert Rose? "Buff" mDKs all you want, but what exactly are they supposed to wear? You're gutting Heavy armor, Trainee, and Desert Rose all in the same patch.

SnB: 5 spinners / 5 seducers - heavy / 2 bloodspawn.

I run rattle cage and seducer DW heavy

alephthiago · January 2017

"Desert Rose: Increased this item set’s proc chance to 15% from 10%, but also increased its cooldown to 4 seconds from 1 second."

Why just destroy stuff like that?
Why not just raise the cooldown to 2 secs and see how it goes?

STEVIL · January 2017

Overall - pretty good.

Was hoping for Daedric Prey to get some help (12s double tap, attract pets)

Templars complain about losing their only good CC, all other classes agree it's BS and.....Crickets

I was so disgusted after reading the patch notes for 2.7.0 I haven't played again and nothing I've seen since makes me want to come back. I've stayed active on the boards hoping we could get the Devs to revert the Blazing Spear nerf but now I've given up hope and I'm just going to move on.

"Furniture can now also be previewed from crafting stations."

Great!! Now do the same for armor and the community will love you!

Those two changes are singlehandedly responsible for making me go from not caring about housing at first to being excited about it now.

This! I hope ZOS can extent this technology to equipment crafting.

I mean, if ZOS has the ambition of making mannequins and weapon racks for Housing at one point, it would only be natural progression, right?

sneakymitchell · January 2017

Dragon Leap: This ability and its morphs can now be cast while are you immobilized. Yes finally good. U know the ultimate will still bug out u know it ZOS. Yes hype leap going!
