    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.

    do you not realize this change gives stam dk the same healing as templars now? between the passive from this trees skill plus the skill it self you now heal as much as a stamplar can while its active.

    I just went back to decorating my house when the pts came back online, and can only craft furniture items in Argonian and Dark Elf style, is this intentional? I am pretty sure it can't be... :lol: Nothing else is available to craft anymore, apart from in these two styles.

    Also, there is still a random box floating in the air in the Forsaken Stronghold :lol:

    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.

    From the total ignorance about templars I ask you this: why does a templar need a CC?
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    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.

    I usually just glance at my pet to see its health bar. Takes about a quarter second. Also, since I use the Clannfear, if I look at my pet and see its health is low, I activate its ability to heal it (and myself) for a good chunk of health.

    I agree that its damage should scale off the larger of your weapon or magic damage, but as long as my foe dies and I live, I'm reasonably content.

    Also, the entire skill line isn't useless. Daedric Curse (and its morphs) are nice damage skills, esp. when combined with DOTs or (my favorite) Shattering Prison. Casting Shattering Prison followed by Velocious Curse makes them both go off at roughly the same time. (And yes, I know changes are coming to the new "Haunting Curse", but not really concerned about that).

    Agony has been complained about ever since beta....cloak has been [snip] for quite some time....took almost 2 years to get a decent gap closer out of Lotus Fan

    I know the struggles all too well. I'm pretty stoked on the CB change for my mDK.

    Good update aside from turning Desert Rose into another unusable gear set. Looking forward to testing the focused charge animation changes.

    Wouldnt call this set unusable. Its currently ridiculous return. Good change.

    The problem with eso balance in general is this kind of thinking. Kneejerk overbuffs and overnerfs every patch. Yeh it needs a nerf, but it didn't need to be demoted to decon for mats status. It could've been left with some value. A set that requires the player to be hit for it to activate needs to do more than what they have limited it too.

    Got some great improvements and fixes this patch, but still missing some critical things!
    • Furniture Warehouse: crafting bag, but for furniture, so we don't have to play a giant loadscreen-riddled game of inventory management whenever we want to decorate anything larger than an apartment.
    • One crafting item per node! It's totally ridiculous to have this combination of extravagant furniture construction costs, needing to know a plan for it, and only getting a single crafting material out of every 10 nodes. Something's got to give!

    Have you seen Alcast's mag sorc pet build? It's pulling 5k higher than every other class (including stam classes) in dps. The big question is if they'll stay alive in a trial.

    The buff to Impale is nice, but range wasn't what was wrong with it. It's execute threshold is too low for what it is. It needs to have one of these things:
    • An automatic execute proc like Endless Fury's Explosion proc (I'd be willing to lower Impale's threshold to 20% if we got this)
    • A higher execute threshold like Radiant Oppression or Reverse Slice
    • Being made an undodgeable, unreflectable channel like Radiant Oppression

    If I could use Impale's proc to set up burst like magic sorc, I'd slot it. If I could execute somebody at 30% health with Impale, I'd slot it. If it was as hard to avoid as Radiant Oppression is, I'd slot it. But only an increased range with Impale isn't enough to slot it.

    Also, can we can a Developer's Comments section for the cost increase to Strife? It's one of the more confusing changes in this PTS cycle, and was introduced before the Developer's Comments were. @ZOS_RichLambert

    Finally, can we get some love for melee range magic NB? Let's be honest, there's no way to beat magic sorc at the role of long range burst DPS. Their entire kit is designed around that role, and they do it very well. Magic NB was more fun and more unique when it was played with Concealed Weapon as a spammable (no longer viable due to lackluster damage and a high cost), Cloak as an escape (no longer viable for anything but destro bombing and stam NB ganking due to the abundance of AOE, detect potions, and Magelight. Seriously, I'd take an increasing cost penalty on Cloak if I could count on it actually working as reliably as Bolt Escape) and Proximity Detonation for burst (now hits like a wet noodle against single targets, which was a good nerf considering what other classes were doing with Proximity Detonation, but melee magic NB needs some sort of reliable, timed (think Curse) single target burst to make up for it. Grim Focus isn't really viable in melee range.)

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Nothing regarding bugged crafting surveys? Only the alchemy surveys were providing the new materials ALL others were not. Tested with numerous people with combined total of roughly 150+ surveys and not a single drop!

    No idea if this was present from the start of the PTS, as could not test before EU copy, but is 100% the case since EU cross over. Can we expect a fix before live? Since crafting surveys are the only alternative means to obtain new materials besides farming random nodes over and over.

    Maybe I am remembering wrong, but didnt they slow it down sometime ago as a way to 'fix' how often it failed?

    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.

    Rolis Hlaalu now sells an envelope that, when opened, will provide a random purple Furnishing Plan.

    Increased the chance to receive furnishing-related rewards from criminal activities like pickpocketing and murder.

    Added several new crafting plans that weren’t previously represented in crafting.

    Furniture can now also be previewed from crafting stations.

    Nice

    Umm do you realize the magicka pool of a stam DK... better yet do you play one? In PvPor PvE I will definitely not slot this ability and I'm guessing you're talking about using this + hard armor + major mending so let's go over that real quick so I can help you understand.

    Igneous shield is around 4.1k with no reduction.
    Hardened armor/volatile armor is around 3.3k with no reduction
    Dragon's blood is around 4.6k with no reduction.
    So let me get this straight. You want me to go into a fight and when I'm low have hard armor already on pop igneous shield/dragon's blood? That isn't smart especially when the best Hard CC you have access to is magicka based. I would never drain my magicka resource in order to stay a live a bit longer so please don't even act like this is going to make stam DKs OP like you're eluding to.

    I feel you mate I mean I can't play stam DK unless I run max health/max stam regen food on and even with that I struggle with sustain issues. People feel that battle roar is all the sustain you need but yeah back then that was the case but now you can't even rely on that as you used to. DK as a whole the passives need to be re-balanced due to changes with the game, we do not have the best sustain anymore nor do we have the best survive-ability, and we can no longer 'stand our ground'. We can only stand on a crumbling ground that always break beneath us.
