Vma is rediculous now, why are we getting hit harder and doing less damage?

Pallio · February 2017

Nerfs are one thing, but, buffing mob damage to us is rediculous. Guess we can just sit in our house and play with furniture, since EVERYTHING else is broken.

trinimacNcheese · February 2017

Did they change something in vma? I don't remember seeing it in the patch notes.

Pallio · February 2017

Not published in notes, seems like our armor value or something is no longer calculated.

Also doesn't seem like our physical pen. is doing anything.

Also for some reason the vMA bow burns through charges, going through gems like candy recharging it.

On top of all the wonderful nerfs we did know about.. trap/dw/hurricane, vma is even less fun than ever.

Why do they keep messing up things?!

Angkhar · February 2017

I did not have a chance to play because of graphic problems in eso, but it seems cousing a trouble in vma if it's true O.o

'if it isn't broken, it must be fixed.'

Thats sucks

I play a magicka sorcerer and I'm pretty bummed because overload storage is now only to 500 now and apparently duel wielding hardly increases spell damage :'(

I don't recall reading anything in the patch notes about Maelstrom Arena changes (normal or veteran difficulty). Nor the cost increase of Maelstrom's Bow charges. Do you think that because proc-based sets no longer crit that you may be taking longer on enemy NPC's? Because if anything, it should be easier with the CP limit raised. As well as your overall familiarity with the instance by now.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_RichLambert Do you all mind taking a look at this?

It seem that every trials is hit.

I haven't tested vMA with Homestead yet, but I'll test it and make my own opinion before the next patch I think.

Because they don't know what they're doing.

The change is not intended. This is known. There is another thread on the subject already.

I thought it was just me, but I felt that i was getting hit harder everywhere in the game, not that it's a problem, I usually kill mobs in one hit or the most an ability and light weave. But yeah, I think all mobs have been buffed a little bit after the increase in CP.

Nothing to complain about from my side, my point is that it's noticeable.

Hmm... So approximately how long do you think until we see a fix implemented? And will the said fix be implemented with the console launch of Homestead?

Pallio · February 2017

Also the Twice-Fanged Serpent set is definitely broken, 5pc set does nothing.. same damage as only 4pc.. but, pen may just be broken from any source so who knows.

^ I agree with this. Tonight I decided to quest on my level 42 NB. I did all of Orsinium straight out of the tutorial on her and group dungeons etc. Tonight? I could barely stay alive to a few wolves. It was brutal.

Don't notice on my main characters in the same scenario (overland) but they are so OP for overland it makes sense not to notice..

Because less than 237% of the player base complained about the lack of bag space!

GreenhaloX · February 2017

Probably because so many have been bragging and boasting how easily they can breeze through vMA or trials.. If that is the case, I don't blame the developers for upping the game for all you diehard Gods of ESO.. Haaa!

Did they say it isn't intended somewhere? The only quote I've seen is the one saying they didn't do anything specifically to trials. Which seems a strangely specific response. But maybe I am just overly cynical.

MalakithAlamahdi · February 2017

I noticed the same. Also had a champ mob in IC hit me for 32k that usually only hits 2-3k tops. Something is a bit odd atm.

Beardimus · February 2017

Is it surely not just a culmination of all the smaller changes. I doubt anything has changed persay in VMSA. Although I'm sure mob resistances went up didn't they?

Or they have brought balanace to stop power creep from the extra 39CP

Harder content is good surely? Most complain content has got too easy (first time vMSA passes aside)

Pallio · February 2017

Some fix went in to allow bleeds from mobs to ignore armor, it appears it was applied to all attacks or all dots or something to that effect.

Joy_Division · February 2017

If there is a difference, I did not notice it doing a vMA run.

I did, of course, notice the instance was lagging horribly toward the end but that was not something new with the patch.

Notice teh bowcharges "bug" today..

Vildebill · February 2017

Hmm, did a run yesterday on my Mag Sorc and didn't notice any difference. Which mobs is supposedly hitting you harder?

Yet Magicka Sorc damage was increased due to the new Curse and Destruction Staff buffs, plus the buffs to Volatile Familiar.
They are looking to be the best DPS in this patch by far.
Not sure you have anything to be sorry about.
