I've been wandering around just doing my normal Questing since the Homestead patch, but only as recently as last night, I noticed an issue: it seems as though there's been a significant damage drop off in the game.
I play on Xbox One NA.
I run a 592CP Magicka Templar. I use Reflective Light (as my combat initiator), Stabby Sticks (the Biting Jabs morph that Heals) as my spammable, Explosive Charge (Gap Closer), and Radiant Destruction as my finisher. My Equipment is all Gold CP160 Divines gear, weapons are CP160 Sharpened Flame Enchanted (Dunmer says yes!) and Gold as well.
I've got my CP wrapped up in Spell/Magic Damage, Elemental Damage, the DoT increase in The Ritual, and a couple of others.
Normally; my stabby sticks hits for about 3500-5400 per hit (5000-6500 for Crit/damage tick), and even after the damage reduction in Homestead my Radiant Destruction hits for about 14k-16k each tick (29k-32k if a damage tick Crit's).
But last night I went into Cyrodiil to hunt some Skyshards and to go through a couple of Delves. Since this is my Main character and all his stuff is Gold, I NEVER change his equipment, and I always make sure it's fully repaired before any sortie into Cyrodiil.
When taking on the Mobs in Cyrodiil, I noticed a severe drop-off in my damage, both normal damage and Crit's.
I went from 3500-6400 per tick of my Stabby Sticks to 1800-2400 per tick (3500-4000 per Crit), and my Radiant Destruction went from 14k-16k (29k-32k on Crit ticks) to 12k-14k (and Crits only managing 20k-24k per Crit tick).
While this might not seem like much of a change, or even that bad of one, it DEFINITELY makes a difference in a Battle.
I though it may have just been because I was in Cyrodiil, so I left and went to Deshaan to test my damage numbers out. Whether I was in a Public Dungeon, Delve, or overland Mobs, the damage decrease results are the same.
I hope this is just a temporary glitch with the game doing the math on attacks and damage, but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing drastically decreased damage as well since the patch.
Maybe it's just my imagination, but I don't think so.
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert Could I have you guys look at this and give me some feedback, por favor? It was and is pretty disconcerting for me and my Questing.
