    So, with the newest changes to Orbs and Shards, magicka builds have no synergy left to restore stamina. Great job, ZOS. /sarcasm

    Yes, I'm concerned about the implications of this for sword-and-shield magicka tanks (which are definitely a thing).

    your right, we havent waited enough years for things to be working properly. bad enough we wait half a year for major changes anyways.

    Our siphoning attacks can crit heal now? And we get major armour for 2 seconds more..sick yo. At the very least they did buff us. Still the worst class though.

      • Spear Shards: The synergy from this ability and its morphs now restores Magicka or Stamina based on whichever has the highest maximum, instead of whichever has the largest missing percentage.

      Just stop trying to combine the two. Leave orbs as a restore for magicka, and spears a restore for stamina.

      Combining them and return the max of mag/stam stat means you will NEVER have the option for returning your lower stat. It was better before when you can choose which resources to give out. Good luck tanks.

      Ok, so a couple small Warden changes.

      Everyone wants more reverts or changes ASAP. But I think we all need to take a step back for a second. This stuff may not be doable in a week's time. We still have 5-6 weeks? Before anything goes live. So keep on giving feedback. I've seen a wonderful NB video explaining detriments of the last notes, now we need a DK and Templar one. Preferably showing both stam and magicka pro's and con's. I wish I had that ability. I wish Deltia would set aside the kleenex box and show us Temp changes like Gilliam did with NB's. That would go much further if he really loves/loved this game. Heck, do it even if you still don't plan to play again. It'll be a nice legacy to leave behind =/

      Ty!

      Imagine being a tank, you're low magicka because you're trying to sustain your stamina, but you can't get more stamina because you're low magicka as well... LOL. Same for magicka DDs, sometimes you need to roll dodge you get low on stam...

      Yeah, at first I thought this is a good change, which it kind of is, but now my Templar Tank is still unable to take advantage of my healer's shards or orbs properly. Guess it's back to the drawing board.

      At least the RNG is taken out of it now.

      Cmon Guys, give traits and older sets a little love. You have the time to nerf tremorscale and others, so why not nerf the things that really need them and buff sets and trait that can use a buff?

      Or can you at least give me some feedback on my suggestions and why you aren't considering them? They have been very well received and there's a lot of effort in it. I've posted them everywhere on the forums and I will keep doing that until I get an official response to them.

      No nerfs to lich set or amberplasm and no more tweaks to siphoning strikes apart from being able to crit? you bare make even in resources from this ability even if you focus on spamming light atk for far too much in combat.

      Or using any Set in the game that doesn't offer Sustain (i.e. Seducer's, etc.).

      I mean, seriously; what would be the point of running any other Set in the game if you aren't using the 5x bonus from a sustain Set?

      These changes are still outstandingly atrocious...

      I seriously would like to know why they added those research scrolls... Like it really is a stab in the back to us master Crafters

      Can't agree. Only master crafters (and, presumably, those who pay good money to master crafters) can get these scrolls. It's a nice reward added to the list of what master crafters can get by doing writs.

      Animal Companions
      Savage Beast: This passive ability now generates Ultimate when you cast an Animal Companion ability, instead of when you deal damage with an Animal Companion ability.
      Developer Comments:
      This change will make generating Ultimate from this passive more reliable for Wardens, as it can now proc off non-damaging Animal Companion abilities such as Betty Netch and Falcon’s Swiftness.

      So steady, out of combat ulti gen?

      The class changes from the base game are not under NDA.

      Also, everyone, please remember this is only the start of our second week on the PTS. There are still adjustments to be made in the coming patches.

      <sarcasm>They want tanks to stop blocking all time... so what is the issue. You will have plenty of regen when not blocking.</sarcasm>

      I have a two tanks with more magic than stam. I don't like this change at all.

      Neither do I like the changes to blocking (being charged stamina twice as much). The change to Repentance is punishing for my DK tank only. My Templar tank will still benefit, if the Templar healer doesn't need Repentance in his rotation. At this point I have no opinion yet on the impact of the change to Battle Roar. Will evaluate that one when EU chars are copied over.

      And this is only the third year of the game being released, yet ZOS still thinks anyone is using Healing Ritual. The disconnect between the devs "balancing" this game and the people who actually play it is staggering. We have seen the track record for this sort of thing time and time again.

      Amazing patch, I'll be back next week. No point in touching ESO until the next pts notes come out.

      Yea siphoning strikes needs a big buff imo, you barely make break even resource wise even if you focus hard on light atking too much in combat. Make it free to cost and up the resource return or give it minor mending or something.

      Dark deal needs a nerf, big time.

      Lich and amberplasm needs a nerf. (just like bonepirate got)

      Warden still too strong imo even with the miniscule nerfs it took this patch. p2w for sure.
