• 2.2.1 - Rogue/Skirmisher (Dual Wield NPC)
  • Quick Strike
    • [29035] Quick Strike - Autoattack
      • Suggest adjusting the ability icon for this ability to esoui/art/icons/death_recap_melee_basic.dds to be consistent with other NPC Light Attacks.
  • Whirlwind
    • [28408] Whirlwind - Cast time component.
      • This effect has no target component, this means it has no ability to send any kind of “Tutorial Warning” to the player. Suggest possibly having a dummy event that fires on all players in the radius to alert them to avoid it.
    • [85339] Whirlwind - Damage component.
      • This ability is an aoe ability and should not be able to be dodged.
  • Assassinate
    • [12381] Assassinate - This is a short cast time higher damage attack used by the Rogue from behind.
      • Currently uses the heavy attack icon currently, suggest changing it to esoui/art/icons/ability_rogue_063.dds (or 046) because it looks cool and fits the animation performed by the NPC.
  • Roll Dodge
    • [44471] Roll Dodge - 1 second dodge immunity duration triggered when NPC roll dodges.
      • I understand the new ZOS Buff/Debuff frames don’t display target buffs, but a lot of player addons do, and since this ability is very similar to player dodge, it would be nice for addon authors if this ability displayed a buff aura.
  • Bear Trap
    • [39060] Bear Trap – 5 second immobilize applied on player when stepping into NPC Bear Trap.
      • Incorrectly flagged as a buff rather than debuff.
    • [39065] Bear Trap – Damage component when player steps into NPC Bear Trap.
      • This ability needs an icon for Death Recap.
    • Alternate suggestions for Bear Trap:
      • Case 1: Increase the chance that an NPC will use this ability, perhaps have them run to a location to set it, on aggro.
      • Case 2: Remove the ability, in its current state I only ever see it used when I end up leashing mobs or kiting them around in circles. It took me about 3 minutes looping in a circle to get one to drop it to create this report.
• 2.2.2 - Ravager (Two Handed NPC)
  • Uppercut
    • [29379] Uppercut – Stun component
    • [29380] Uppercut – Knockback component
      • These two effects are applied on the player when hit by an NPC uppercut. Currently there is no DEBUFF aura present. Additionally suggest changing both icons to the weapon skill line Uppercut since it is also a player ability. Alternatively rename any of these “Uppercut” abilities present in game to “Dizzying Swing” instead and updating with the relevant icon considering the changes made to the player ability.
• 2.2.3 - Archer (Bow NPC)
  • Arrow Spray
    • [37109] Arrow Spray – 4 sec snare debuff.
    • [37116] Arrow Spray – Damage component
      • This ability is an AOE ability and should be unable to be dodged. Additionally I'd like to suggest changing the debuff icon on [37109] to ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_bow_005.dds’ as this debuff behaves consistently with the player version of the ability.
  • Volley
    • [28629] Volley - Damage from Volley
    • [54258] Upgraded Volley - Damage from Cyrodiil Archer (Upgraded) Volley
      • This ability is currently unblockable. However player Volley can be blocked. I feel this should be consistent with the behavior of the player skill. In addition - in theory there's no reason why you couldn't raise your shield up to block the arrows, so it would very much make sense for this to be blockable.
• 2.2.4 - Footsoldier (1 Handed NPC)
  • Throw Oil Synergy
    • When near an archer or fire mage NPC, the footsoldier will throw a bottle of oil at the players feet to ignite:
    • [10648] Throw Oil - Nearly instant projectile that spawns an oil patch.
      • This is dodgeable, and if dodged the aoe oil patch will not be created. This probably should not be possible. If it is intended suggest adding icon 'esoui/art/icons/ability_rogue_025.dds' for players using Scrolling Combat Text addons.
    • [10650] Oil Drenched - 1.1 sec snare applied to players standing in the oil patch.
      • This effect does not display a debuff and should.
• 2.2.5 - Guard (1H + Shield - Power Bash NPC)
  • Power Bash
    • [29400] Power Bash – Damage component.
      • This should use Power Bash icon: ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_1handed_005.dds’ instead of generic heavy attack icon.
    • [29401] Power Bash – 3 sec disorient on the target.
      • This currently does not show a debuff and should. Also should use weapon skill line power bash icon.
    • Additionally I would like to suggest making Power Bash stun like the player ability – for consistency and to make these NPC’s more threatening.
  • NPC Block
    • [84346] Uber Attack – 3 sec duration stun when player heavy attacks blocking Guard.
      • Should be named “Block Stun”. Additionally it would be better if this lasted 4 sec to coincide with [45902] ‘Off-Balance’ applied by this combo.
• 2.2.6 - Brute (1H + Shield - Charging NPC)
  • Focused Charge
    • [14924] Focused Charge
      • This debuff with a placeholder icon appears on Brute NPC’s when they are charging. Should be removed from display as it provides no useful information to the player.
    • [14930] Charge – Self stun on Brute when player blocks charge
    • [14923] Charge – Self stun on Brute when missing charge
      • These self stuns applied on the Brute when a focused charge is blocked or misses do not currently display a debuff aura and should.
    • Additional issue: [2727] Off-Balance only applies when human NPC’s miss their charge. For Kagouti it only applies when charge is blocked. This should probably apply in both cases for each of these bipedal NPC’s.
• 2.2.7 - Berserker (Dual Wield Agony/Blood Craze NPC)
  • Agony
    • [35164] Agony – Initial damage component for Agony.
      • For some reason displays a split second debuff (seems to be the travel time of the invisible projectile maybe?). Should be hidden.
  • Blood Craze
    • [10735], [49252], [49253], [49254] Blood Craze
      • These abilityId’s should use the player ability icon for Blood Craze ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_dualwield_001_b.dds’ as the mechanics are the same.
• 2.2.8 - Dragonknight NPC
  • Dark Talons
    • [74472] Dark Talons – Damage component.
      • Uses the generic Fire AOE Death Recap icon, while the snare applied uses the Dark Talons player ability icon. Suggest changing this icon as well for consistency: ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_dragonknight_010.dds’
  • Lava Whip
    • [34647] Lava Whip – 5 sec off-balance applied by NPC Lava Whip when player is stunned.
      • Suggest renaming this to 'Off-Balance' to make it more clear and to be consistent with player Lava Whip. I'd also like to see the icon changed to ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_debuff_offbalance.dds.’ Additionally I'd like to make a suggestion to change the icon on player lava whip off-balance, as well as correct the name for those id's from "Off Balance" to "Off-Balance"
• 2.2.9 - Thundermaul (Lightning Hammer NPC)
  • Thunder Hammer
    • [29511] Thunder Hammer – Damage component.
      • This ability broadcasts a “Dodge” tutorial warning and can be blocked and dodged, however since it is an AOE ability it should not be able to be dodged.
• 2.2.10 - Nightblade NPC
  • Shadow Cloak
    • [73712] Shadow Cloak - .5 sec buff that appears on the player when an NPC Nightblade cloaks.
      • This does nothing and should not have a buff aura.
  • Veiled Strike
    • [36741] Veiled Strike – 3 sec stun effect.
      • This should use ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_nightblade_002.dds’ to be consistent with the damage component + player ability.
  • Teleport Strike
    • [63822] Teleport Strike – 1.5 sec stun
      • This stun does not currently display a debuff and should. Also could use icon ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_nightblade_008.dds’
  • Soul Tether
    • [44345], [44349], [44352], [44350], [44346] Soul Tether
      • This ability is a player ability and it would be visually beneficial to change the icon from a generic icon to ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_nightblade_018_a.dds’ for debuff and death recap clarity.
• 2.2.11 - Dreadweaver (Elite Nightblade Caster NPC)
  • Minor Maim
    • [89012] Minor Maim - Debuff applied by Dark Shade.
      • This ability has not been updated to the new normalized Major/Minor debuff icons, and is still using the Icon for Beast Trap. This should be updated.
  • Dark Shade
    • These NPC’s summon a Dark Shade similar to the player ability, for the duration of the ability they are afflicted with [89017] Dark Shade which is a Weakness de(buff). Generally these are Elite NPC’s, the damage done by the Dark Shades are very minor, and they only last 23 seconds. I think the weakness debuff is unnecessary here as this ability is much less of a “summon” than most of the 2 minute NPC summons.
• 2.2.12 - Soulbrander (NPC with Magelight)
  • Radiant Magelight
    • [44258] Radiant Magelight – Toggled ability
    • [44263] Radiant Magelight – 1.5 sec duration - pulses while 44258 is up
    • [44259] Magelight – 3 sec debuff when broken out of stealth.
      • This ability behavior is odd. The NPC will spam this randomly and very frequently; toggle it off for no reason. If the NPC is deaggroed with this ability up it will not fall off.
      • Suggest recreating this ability to function like player Radiant Magelight and have two behaviors:
        • IN COMBAT - Have the NPC cast this when a player goes hidden near them - I guess the easiest way to do this would be to make it trigger when it detects any of the Clairvoyance Effect abilities happening nearby?
        • OUT OF COMBAT - Have the NPC cast this periodically as if they are fishing for stealthers.
• 2.2.13 - Fear Mage
  • Aspect of Terror
    • [37084] Aspect of Terror - Fear effect.
      • This fear can be blocked - this effect should be unblockable to match other fear effects.
  • Shadow Cloak
    • [35865] Shadow Cloak - 2 second disorient on nearby enemies when Fear Mage uses Shadow Cloak.
      • This effect seems odd due to player Shadow Cloak not disorienting you. Perhaps change the stealth animation and name to something different, like a Flash Bomb? While I’m a fan of normal NPC’s becoming more difficult, I can’t think of too many other effects in overworld pve that you don’t have a chance to interact with in some way and just straight up CC you.
  2.2.14 - Spirit Mage/Spirit Master
  • Burdening Eye
    • The Burdening Eye summoned by this skill has issues when the player has a Root Immunity such as Shuffle Active.
    • Normally, the eye appears to close onto the player, and use [89063] Burden with a 1 second duration and if the player remains in that range it: deals damage [37200] and applies a 2 second snare [35142]. With root immunity active the eye will continuously spam 37200 over and over. This deals a rather potent amount of damage. If a CC immunity is active the eye should just explode and not apply its snare.
  2.2.15 - Fire Mage
  • Heat Wave
    • [16588] Heat Wave - Damage effect.
      • This ability deals instant damage but applies a 2 second debuff that does nothing additional, and should be hidden from display.
  • Ignite (Footsoldier Synergy)
    • Fire Mages will ignite oil thrown by Footsoldier NPC’s: they will cast a special Heat Wave effect: [10805] Ignite. This ignites the oil, and causes the player standing in it to take rapid damage from [10813] Ignite.
    • However, the mage can additionally hit the oil with actual Heat Wave or Fire Runes which triggers ticks of [38260] Ignite to start firing. This combination does a pretty insane amount of damage for overworld.
    • Something seems inconsistent about the interaction as well. Suggest perhaps removing the special ignite and having the mage AI reset Heat Wave cooldown and cast it into the oil instead OR reducing Ignite ticks into to a single damaging abilityId.
  2.2.16 - Pet Ranger
  • Roll Dodge
    • [36499] Roll Dodge – 2 second immunity when Pet Ranger dodges.
      • This feels like it has an unnaturally long duration at 2 seconds, I think it would be more fitting if it was a 1 sec duration to be equivalent to player roll dodge. The NPC dodging attacks standing up after the roll animation is complete feels artificial.
  • Trap Beast
    • [44305] Trap Beast – 6 sec root
    • [44307] Trap Beast – Damage component
      • These effects perform more similarly to the player ability “Lightweight Trap” and as such I feel it would be more fitting if they used the name and icon (‘esoui/art/icons/ability_fightersguild_004_b’) for Trap Beast.
  2.2.17 - Shaman
  • Aura of Protection
    • [29597] Combustion: This 3 sec stun is applied if the Shaman’s Aura of Protection is killed. This effect is incorrectly a buff instead of a debuff; does not show properly on the new buff frames.
    • Additionally [29598] Off-Balance is applied for 5 seconds. (This is off-balance exploitable). I suggest changing both of these debuffs to either a 3 or 4 second duration to normalize them. Note an earlier section above makes the same suggestions for player interrupt/block stun & off-balance.
    • Aura of Protection is also occasionally used by an NPC and they are not flagged as eligible for the buff. The only case I'm aware of currently is the boss in Norvulk Ruins in Stormhaven.
• 2.2.18 - Bonelord/Gravesinger NPC
  • Bone Cage/Defiled Grave
    • [88322] Bone Cage – Damage
    • [35391] Defiled Grave – Root
      • These ability names are inconsistent for the same ability and should be normalized.
      • Normally the ability deals damage once [88322], and is consumed when the root effect [35391] applies. However, if the player dodge rolls (or has root immunity) through the effect it will deal damage multiple times and not remove the rune. Suggest either having the rune remove itself on a failed attempt to apply the root, or make it a persistent effect that continues to deal damage and reapplies the root if the player moves in and out of the effect.
• 2.2.19 - Winterborn Blade-Bearer
  • Javelin
    • [64890] Javelin – Projectile attack.
      • This projectile attack displays a debuff for the travel time of the projectile and should be hidden.
      • This effect only applies a generic stagger on hit, perhaps a 1.8 sec knockback like piercing javelin could make this slightly more interesting/threatening?
  • Roll Dodge Back
    • [69282] Roll Dodge Back – Dodge roll immunity effect.
      • Shows a 1 sec duration on the skill, but in practice this generally lasts like .3 seconds. Most of the time it doesn’t even result in them dodging an attack. I’d like to see it always last the full 1 sec and provide damage immunity like player dodge – for both consistency and to improve the functionality of the ability for these NPC’s.
  • Retaliation
    • [65033] Retaliation: Displays a 1 sec buff on the player, this provides no useful information and should be hidden. (Appears when NPC is blocking)
    • When a Blade-Bearer blocks a heavy attack with their Retaliation ability, the player is staggered into -> the following 2 effects:
      • [69153] Retaliation: 1 sec Stun - Does not display a debuff and should.
      • [1347] Off-Balance: 4 sec - Does not currently have an icon.
    • After [1347] Off-Balance fades, 14883 & 4508 Off-Balance are applied on the player with a 10 sec duration, 14883 has a buff aura and should be hidden. I’m not sure what these are intended to do, and should probably be removed. At first I thought this was some kind of internal cooldown tracker, but that's not the case. I'm not sure if this actually off balances either.
• 2.2.20 - Winterborn Mage
  • Flames
    • [64711] Flames – Damage component
      • Deals instant damage but shows a .5 sec debuff, this should be hidden.
  • Grasping Vines/Grasping Vineburst
    • [55918] Grasping Vines – Damage component
      • This uses the ranged light attack Death Recap icon. It looks kinda goofy, don’t really have any suggestions but there’s gotta be a better icon for the damage from these vines to potentially use.
    • [55916] Grasping Vineburst - Damage at the end of 3 sec root/dot duration
      • This is a radial ground AOE. It triggers after 3 sec regardless of whether the player is still there. Its possible to roll out of vineburst, then move back in and dodge the final damage. Since this is an AOE it shouldn’t be possible to dodge.
• 2.2.21 - Vosh Rakh Devoted
  
  • Revenge 2 & Enrage
    • [54184] Revenge 2 - 2 Minute passive
      • Seems to serve as the trigger for Enraging (when a nearby friendly dies). This refreshes after falling off after a delay but appears to have a bit of a gap in coverage. Could obtain better functionality if the duration was persistent.
    • [65235] Enrage – 2 min Enrage
    • [65237] Scary – 16+ min duration CC immunity when enrage applies.
      • I understand most of the time these mobs are unlikely to be up for 2+ min, however for consistency I feel that the CC immunity and enrage buff durations should be either 2 min, or both unlimited duration, and once the mob is enraged it stays that way unless deaggroed.
  • Rally
    • [53987] Rally - 30 sec damage buff applied on nearby friendly mobs.
      • This increases damage by ~5%. For a 3 sec cast time this feels kind of silly. I feel like it would be far more interesting if this had the effect of Major Brutality, or also added Rally type healing. (Possibly being instant too)
      • Additionally something is causing this to fail to apply properly on the nearby mobs or caster on consecutive casts (after they have already applied it once and its duration has faded).
  • Divine Leap
    • Divine Leap applies:
      • [67593] Divine Leap Stagger
      • [54050] Divine Leap Stun
        • Both of these effects have such short duration they don’t register on most buff trackers. I feel the stun here is pointless, and throws the “Stun” warning on combat text at the player, when they don’t actually get stunned. Stun should be deleted or actually last 1-2 sec.
• 2.2.22 - Dremora Caitiff (Cleave Stance DLC Variant)
  
  • Cleave Stance
    • [51923], [51940], [51942] Cleave Stance - All damaging attacks
      • These attacks are used in consecutive order by a Dremora Caitiff with [51000] Cleave Stance active. They currently use a generic Death Recap icon. I feel it would improve clarity for these abilities to use either the player ability icon for cleave or the generic warrior one:
        • ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_2handed_002.dds’
        • ‘esoui/art/icons/ability_warrior_016.dds’
• 2.2.23 - Sentinel (TG DLC Shield Dude)
  • Fiery Grip
    • [74480] Fiery Grip – Damage component
      • Has a debuff aura for the projectile travel time duration to the player and should not.
    • [74483] Fiery Grip – 1 sec stun when pulled by Fiery Grip.
      • This ability does not currently display a debuff and should.
    • Additionally the player can dodge both aspects of this ability, this should be changed to be consistent with the recent change to DK Fiery Grip. In addition this can be reflected and I’m not sure if the player ability can be, but that should be checked to be consistent as well.
• 2.2.24 - Archer (TG DLC Variant)
  • Snipe
    • [72220] Snipe – Variant of snipe used from stealth.
      • Unlike their normal variant [76089] Snipe, cannot be interrupted. However it is possible for the player to see them via a detection pot, so this should be interruptable. Or both variations shouldn’t be interruptable.
  • Flare Trap
    • [74619] Flare Trap – Damage component from stepping in a Flare Trap
      • Briefly displays a debuff aura on the player. This provides no relevant information (its instant damage) and should be hidden.
    • [74621] Revealed – Reveal effect.
      • This reveal effect from Flare Trap incorrectly displays as a buff rather than debuff.
• 2.2.25 - Bodyguard (DB DLC)
  • Shard Shield
    • When the player hits an enemy protected by shard shield the following things apply:
      • [77609] Shard Shield – Stun – this works fine
      • [77562] Shard Shield – Damage component, shows a 1 sec debuff aura despite being instant damage, needs to be hidden.
      • [83624] Shard Shield – 1 sec buff on the player, provides no useful information and should be hidden.
    • For addon buff timers, [77555] Shard Shield shows as a 10+ day duration when applied (it falls off after 5 min) so a duration change to reflect that would be nice.
    • The damage [77562] + stun [77609] from this ability can be reflected, which stuns/damages the Bodyguard. This seems like it shouldn’t be possible, as its not a projectile.
  • 'Til Death
    • [77672] & [77742] ‘Til Death – Stuns applied on Bodyguard & Protected Mob when the Bodyguard takes a killing blow for a protected NPC.
      • These are incorrectly buffs instead of debuffs.
  • Shield Shield
    • Bodyguard Shield Charge generally deals damage and applies a stagger on the player. Occasionally for some reason I can’t determine I’ve seen it apply two generic effects on me:
      • [77905] Knockback & [77906] Stun
    • So far in my travels I’ve seen those id’s use for the Amkaos + Kathutet + Ranyu (Torturers) Dolmen Fight, as an effect on one of those NPC’s shock aura abilities.
    • If its intentional both NPC’s have this function I suggest making different individually named debuffs for each. Alternate idea is for Bodyguard charge to stun like player version.
• 2.2.26 - Faction NPC's
  • Caltrops
    • [38118] Caltrops – Caltrops throw used by Faction NPC's
      • This ability usage is very inconsistent. I spent 10-20 minutes running around with various AD NPC’s chasing me and only saw it a few times with very inconsistent timing. Additionally seemed to be used most by Mage NPC’s. Suggest increasing the frequency at which faction based NPC’s use the ability, and perhaps updating it with the latest PTS player caltrops changes.
    • [38119] Caltrops – Snare, currently 1.5 sec dur, .5 sec reapply.
      • Suggest changing to 1 sec dur/1 sec reapply to normalize with player abilities.
    • [38125] Caltrops – Damage component
      • Ticks too fast (.5 sec instead of 1), additionally this component can incorrectly be BLOCKED which causes rapid stamina drain.
  • War Horn
    • [68866] War Horn – War Horn ability used by Faction NPC’s
      • Applies a 30 sec passive buff to nearby mobs. This ability is rather inconsistently used much like NPC Caltrops which I mentioned in a previous submitted ticket. I think it would be beneficial to modify the scripting behind this ability to make its use more consistent and frequent rather than extremely random as it is now. Perhaps having a long cooldown time but high chance of use when another friendly (hostile to player) NPC is nearby?
  • Additionally perhaps only caster NPC's could use War Horn, and melee/bow dudes use Caltrops exclusively.
• 2.2.27 - Misc Uncategorized Abilities
  • [50108] Negate Magic (used by Battle Mage): This is a very iconic ability however is using the generic silence debuff icon, suggest changing to Sorcerer Negate magic ability icon.
  • Craglorn healer NPC’s use an ability called “Healer Immune.” When interrupted they will crouch down and pop up a barrier (50966) Healer Immune that seems to reduce damage by about 75%. This is neat, however – the player can simply hit another interrupt which will interrupt and remove this barrier. This makes the ability seem pointless. It should instead be unable to be interrupted, forcing the player to do less damage or switch targets.

• 2.4.1 - Assassin Beetle (Variant 1 - Laceration)
  • Laceration
    • [6137] Laceration - Up front damage
    • [51736] Bleeding - Debuff aura DOT
    • [51735] Bleeding - DOT ticks
      • The ability names on these abilities are a bit inconsistent with other abilities in game. Generally abilities are named in singular form (so “Lacerate” instead of “Laceration”) and generally bleeds are referenced to as “X Bleed."
  • Suggestion: Consider possibly adding another damaging ability to match the other variant of Assassin beetle that uses Collywobbles & Feast. As it stands this beetle variety currently only has one damaging ability that’s not an autoattack. Perhaps “44198” Ambush could deal damage (and maybe snare too)?
• 2.4.2 - Assassin Beetle (Variant 2 - Collywobbles/Feast)
  • Collywobbles
    • [5268] Collywobbles – 1.5 sec cast, interruptable 10 sec snare.
      • Major issue: This ability does not properly refresh when reapplied, causing multiple applications of it to create individual auras. This clutters the debuffs frame and causes display issues on most player addon buff trackers.
      • This ability is odd, it’s the only ability in game I’m aware of that is blockable and drains stam but does no damage. I think it would be appropriate for this ability to deal damage as well.
      • The snare from this ability can be blocked.
      • The range on this attack is very long and will connect from pretty far away if the player takes off running after the cast starts. It looks awkward.
  • Feast
    • [91791] Feast – 1.5 sec channeled damage effect (4 ticks)
      • This ability can be cleansed and applies a debuff, however the duration is very short so this behavior in practice does not work very well. When cleansed the animation and rather distinct audio from the beetle continues – this is confusing. Also - it doesn’t make sense you can cleanse a beetles mouth biting you rapidly.
      • Suggestion: Make the total channel of the effect 2.5 seconds to match the animation/sound, and change the mechanics to be a single target 6 damage tick channeled ability with the following interactions: Can block, can dodge, can’t cleanse, can’t interrupt, can’t reflect.
• 2.4.3 - Giant Scorpion
  • Paralyze
    • [12312] Snare – Snare applied when hit by damaging ability [6756] Paralyze.
      • This ability should be renamed to ‘Paralyze’ to match the ability that applies it. ‘Snare’ gets the point across but sounds very generic.
• 2.4.4 - Giant Spider
  • Encase
    • [47318] Encase – Snare applied when standing in web thrown by one variant of spider.
      • Suggest renaming this to “Web” to create differentiation with the Sorcerer player ability named Encase that operates very differently. Also a very similiar spell is cast by the spiderlings summoned by Spider Daedra and is called "Web."
• 2.4.5 - Giant Wasp
  • Charge
    • When a wasp Charge misses the player, the wasp is stunned and afflicted with ‘2727’ Off-Balance, however when the player blocks a wasp charge they are only stunned. I feel like this should be consistent. (I also mentioned this about human/kagouti charges earlier, one of them off-balances only on miss, one of them only on block – an inconsistency with the behavior).
    • [25119] Charge & [25112] Charge - These stuns are applied on the wasp when charge misses/ is blocks.
      • They show auras correctly however they are SELF applied, which means on the new Buff Frames component the debuff will not show unless Show debuffs from others is flagged on. Due to the design its likely not possible to make the player apply these debuffs, so perhaps an internal exception table could be added for your buff frames component. (This is what I have to do for LUI Extended currently).
  • Larva Gestation
    • [9237] Larva Gestation – When hit by Inject Larva, this 10 sec effect is applied
      • Currently does not have a debuff aura and should. Additionally I feel it would be appropriate if this ability could be cleansed.
  • Larva Burst
    • [9238] Larva Burst – Ability triggered at the end of Larva Gestation duration.
      • When this ability goes off, if the Wasp is dead then one hostile and one friendly Young Wasp will spawn. The wasp will follow the player around as a friendly pet for 2 min (the duration of 10392 buff on it) then turns hostile. Also its HP is significantly lower than hostile wasps spawned. This is kind of neat but also strange, and I’m not sure if its intended.
• 2.4.6 - Hoarvor
  • Latch On
    • [6795] Latch On – 7.85 sec duration channel with damage ticks.
      • This ability does not currently display a debuff aura – however it can’t be cleansed, and therefore should show an aura. Alternatively this ability could be made unable to be cleansed, similar to the leech from Nix-Hounds. Perhaps both abilities should perform in a consistent manner.
• 2.4.7 - Necrotic Hoarvor (TG DLC)
  • Necrotic Explosion
    • [61249] Necrotic Explosion – Instant damage
      • Currently displays a pointless a .1 sec debuff despite being instant damage. This should be hidden.
    • [61388] Necrotic Explosion Snare – 2 sec duration snare.
      • Currently incorrectly flagged as a buff rather than debuff. This ability is unable to be cleansed as a result of that, not sure if that is intentional or not.
• 2.4.8 - Kwama Worker
  • Charge
    • [18808] Charge – Instant damage when hit by charge.
      • Displays a 2 second debuff – should be hidden.
    • [18814] Charge – 2 second self stun on Kwama when player blocks stun.
      • This is incorrectly flagged as a buff instead of debuff.
    • [14845] Charge – 1 sec stun when Kwama misses charge.
      • This is incorrectly flagged as a buff, and should have a 2 second duration for consistency.
    • When the Kwama misses a player with charge, or the player blocks it, the Kwama is afflicted by [2727] Off-Balance.
    • I had an idea earlier, because I noticed Wamasu, Mammoths, and Welwa don’t get off-balanced by charge attack miss/block. They all are four-legged creatures. I think it would be kind of neat if the off-balance was removed from this creature - Then only bipedal creatures are thrown off-balance when a charge misses. Alternatively off-balance could be added to Welwa, and then only enemies with the “Scary Immunities” crowd control immunity would be unable to be thrown off balance.
• 2.4.9 - Thunderbug
  • Zap
    • [8429] Zap – 4 sec channel
    • [65079] Zap – Damage component of Zap during channel
    • [26379] Zap – Burst damage at the end of Zap.
      • This ability is currently able to be cleansed – with that behavior in mind in should show a debuff on the player for its duration. I believe player Lightning Staff attacks can be cleansed so this is consistent behavior with lightning staff (which is also lacking an aura since Homestead).
      • Additionally, perhaps consider renaming [26379] to Zap Pulse or something to be consistent with Lightning Staff heavy “Shock Pulse”.

• 2.6.1 - Dwemer Centurion
  • Sweeping Spin
    • [43544] Sweeping Spin – Damage
    • [11262] Sweeping Spin – 2 sec stun
      • This ability should not be able to be dodged as it is an area of effect ability.
• 2.6.2 - Dwemer Sphere
  • Quake
    • [46053] Quake – Damage
      • This ability should not be able to be dodged as it is an area of effect ability.
• 2.6.3 - Dwemer Sentry
  • Sparks
    • [64423] Sparks – Autoattack
      • This has a pointless debuff display for projectile travel time.
  • Thunderbolt
    • [64543] Thunderbolt – Damage
      • Instant damage but displays a .5 sec debuff. Should be hidden. Also this is a ground AOE and should not be able to be blocked.
  • Static Eruption
    • [64556] Static Eruption
    • [68790] Static Shield Explosion
      • These effects are basically the same thing, one variant is when the Sentry is in normal mode, the other is when its it turret mode. The ability name should be changed to be consistent here. I suggest simply “Static Shield.”
• 2.6.4 - Dwemer Spider
  • Overcharge Synergy
    • [19997] Static Field – Damage component
      • This ability is a ground AOE and should be unblockable.

• 2.8.1 - Desecrated Ground (Undead Synergy)
  • [38334] Desecrated Ground Snare – Snare
    • This effect does not currently display a debuff aura. Additionally it should be renamed to ‘Desecrated Ground.’ It’s very obvious it’s a snare already.
• 2.8.2 - Bone Colossus
  • Bone Saw
    • [30590] Bone Saw – Damage
    • [17206] Bone Saw – Stagger
      • This ability is an AOE and should not be able to be dodged. In addition the stagger for this ability has an incredibly limited range. Despite this also making it easier to avoid, it makes it confusing too due to stagger not following the same telegraph length as the damage.
  • Necromantic Implosion]/b]
    
    • [88828] Necromantic Implosion – Damage from summoned Risen Dead self-destructing
      • This ability is an AOE attack and should not be able to be dodged.
• 2.8.3 - Bone Flayer/Bloodfiend
  • Flurry
    • [9194] Flurry – Damage Component
      • Even though this is a rather small AOE cone ability, it is still an area of effect attack and as such should not be dodgeable.
• 2.8.4 - Defiled Aegis (TG DLC)
  • Symphony of Blades
    • [72996] Symphony of Blades – Damage component.
      • This ability is a radial aoe and should not be able to be dodged. Additionally the damage from this effect is instant but it currently displays a .5 sec debuff. This should be hidden.
• 2.8.5 - Ghost
  • Chill Touch
    • [18514] Chill Touch – Damage
    • [18515] Chll Touch – 5 sec snare
      • Currently the snare is blockable. In general I believe most snares apply through block so I think this one should too. This ability also has additional counterplay via interrupt. Also suggest changing the icon to ‘esoui/art/icons/ ability_mage_052.dds’ – It’s literally perfect.
  • Haunting Spectre
    • Haunting Spectre has an issue – When blocked, both the full damage and fear go through, but the player is charged stamina for blocking. Nothing is effectively blocked here so no stam should be consumed.
• 2.8.6 - Spellfiend
  • Consuming Energy
    • [50183] Consuming Energy – Damage effect of standing in Consuming Energy AOE
    • [52398] Consuming Energy – Stun effect
      • The stun from this ability can be blocked but not the damage. This results in no stamina charge. I feel like either the stun should be unblockable (its kind of an explosion of energy from the ground AOE) OR both effects should be blockable.
• 2.8.7 - Vampire
  • Vampiric Drain
    • [68735] Vampiric Drain - 6 dur/chan debuff
    • [68750] Vampiric Drain – Damage ticks
      • This damage is applied every .5 sec while 68735 is up, and is instant, but has a debuff aura. This should be hidden.
      • Additionally each of these individual ticks can be reflected and I don’t believe this should be possible since this is a beam.
      • It might be worth checking to make sure 68735, the full channel for the ability is not able to be reflected. I attempted this for a while but its too hard to anticipate the very rare cast of this ability. That being said, the frequency of this ability’s usage could be increased as well.
• 2.8.8 - Werewolf
  • Flurry
    • [3415] Flurry - 1.33 sec channel
    • [13950] Flurry - 2 sec stun
    • [9467], [60636], [60637], [60638], [60639], [60640] Flurry - Consecutive damage hits
      • This ability behaves in a way I don’t understand. It shows a red cone AOE telegraph indicating its an AOE ability but if you sidestep the initial stun and walk back in none of the damage hits you. I’m not sure if the animation is just playing when that happens or if the ability has no target.
      • The telegraph indicates it as an aoe, and as such I think the hits from flurry should be unable to be dodged.
  • Blood Scent
    • [58529] Blood Scent – This is a damage buff applied by werewolves on nearby werewolves.
      • This ability currently does not show a buff aura. It would be nice if it did for buff tracker addon authors.
• 2.8.9 - Wraith
  • Winter's Reach
    • [43146] Winter’s Reach – 4 sec duration root.
      • This 4 second root does not display a debuff aura and should.
• 2.8.19 - Zombie
  • Vomit
    • [2960] Vomit – Cast time
    • [30347] Vomit – Damage
      • This ability is an AOE and cannot be dodged, however the cast throws out a dodge tutorial warning.

1.3.4 - SOUL MAGIC PASSIVES

• Additionally, [43752] Soul Summons is the internal cooldown of being able to resurrect w/o a Soul Gem. I feel like Soul Gems are plentiful enough that its pointless to have this clutter up the buff bar.

[*]1.1.1 - LAVA

• Damage dealt by lava is currently counted as player damage - causing procs to go off, the damage to scale with champion points, and dying to lava to trigger "player kill" procs. I haven't tested but its likely it would proc sets that trigger off dealing damage to another player as well. This may be due to the fact that lava is a buff rather than a debuff.
• Additionally, I'd like to mention the lack of consistency with lava damage. It varies based on zone due to the multitude of abilityId's for it. Is it really necessary to have so many abilityId's for lava - could just use a single id and fix it to be a debuff for all lava in the game.

Minor update with a few things I forgot, I thought about editing them into the main post body, but that's already substantial enough as it is.

Additional General Changes

• Elemental Procs
  • [21481] Chill
  • [21487] Concussion
    • These are the up front damage components of the Chill and Concussion elemental proc. Currently the damage from these effects can be blocked, but they do such an insignificant amount of damage that's its not very fair. A player could be attempting to block another mechanic when a frost or shock spell that cannot be mitigated by block hits them and triggers these effects, causing them to be charged block cost to reduce 200 damage to 100. I would like to suggest making these effects unblockable to prevent this issue.
• Miscellaneous
  • [2874] Staggered
    • This generic stagger event is triggered by many abilities, and generally has a duration of about .3 seconds or so. However it is possible to use Break Free to remove this effect which is completely silly. I'd accidentally done it before with poor block timing. Additionally player addons that react to crowd control will alert you to break free from this too. It should not be possible to remove this effect or other very short duration staggers.
  • Stagger Effects in General:
    • I made a few suggestions in my list above on how I believed a few ground traveling aoe abilities with a stagger component should be unable to be blocked. I wanted to reiterate on it here. I'm a bit torn on how the consistency of this should work. I like the concept of sometimes having to use pure avoidance (moving completely out of an effect) but where would the line be drawn for that? I like the concept that shockwaves or substantial elements of force would cause a players block to break when being hit by that damage.

EDIT: Also working through new stuff in Vvardenfell as well, I'll post a list up in the closed beta forums within hopefully just a couple days.
