✭✭✭✭✭Don't understand how Lich still goes untouched. Talks about how burning spellweave is too dominant for their liking... Then does nothing about the borderline mandatory set (Lich) next update. Tsk tsk. Lich is easy mode, please bring it in line with other options...
Amberplasm too.

✭✭✭So glad I never got rid of my Scathing Mage set for my Magblade.
It'll need some testing to confirm but I want to say Scathing is probably better than BSW for Magblade now.Argonian forever0 -

Scathing mage only procs on direct damage crits. Was really only useful with force pulse spam. Doing heavy attacks, and only counting on path to proc it won't be very good. And switching to funnel health to try and sustain a bit more absolutely demolishes uptime itself. Scathing mage got nerfed as bad as BSW just did, only indirectly.0 -
bUxx222✭Still no change to sustain!
You talk about how important heavy attacks will be, but you forget that complytly replace spamskills with heavy attacks give much better results. This changes would be ok for me when i have an option to get same result with normal playstyle instead heavy attack build, but thats not possible right now. And with nearfing bsw you punisch all how have farmed it and not want to play a pet sorc with necropotance.

✭Burning Spellweave: Decreased the proc chance to 15% from 20%, and decreased the Spell Damage bonus to 525 from 600.
Can you please decrease the cooldown then?5 -
bUxx222✭could you please add ress-reg through light/med & heavy attacks? so a poper weaving is almost as good as HA's?
skill should at least be as much honorable than just pressing a button down

Mauin✭✭✭✭Pardon me if this has already been mentioned, but where did the extra effects from Master and Maelstrom weapons go? I just checked through my current templates and the Master staves several have equipped have lost their extra magicka, and the Maelstrom staves no longer have the extra spell damage.
If that's intentional, I'm going to be seriously unhappy. Even more than I already am.PC NA CP 1900+

so Sorc's get a $#%$^$^ 200 ms added (1.2 sec's vs 1.0 sec) on the Dark Exchange cast time, where is the Numbers slashed like Siphoning Strikes..
Dark Exchange and it's Morph's should only get like 10% of what it currently gives to Players on Live, just like the Nightblades Siphoning Strikes..
You want to make everything balanced ^^^^^^ that above is %^$%$$# fair and Balanced..
Sorc's need to take the Nerf Bat just as hard as everyone else in the recovery DEPT..
@Wrobel
PS- I never call for Nerf's, really, I only advocate against them but when I am calling for the Nerf Bat then you know it is about to hit the FAN..

Cyrodiil isn't available at all this week?

drake88131✭✭✭So what you're telling me is after you released the nerfageddon ptch notes and I leveled up a mag sorc because you destroyed my dk and stamblade...and farmed all the bsw...and learned how to play on the mag sorc..,,now that's getting a nerf too? Seriously???!!!! Ummmm....can we just ACTUALLY BUFF everything back to homestead patch and leave it alone. I have ZERO desire to grind any more. I can't take it anymore. This is me...taking that break and going full casual. You can see me doing quests in my bsw on my mag sorc, viper on my stamblade, and ebony on my dk from time to time. No subbing. No more crowns. Just here to hang with my peeps. Gonna treat eso like an old episode of Seinfeld. It was good in its time but is out of place now. Still fun to watch every now and then but not every day.6 -

[*]The following item sets now has a 2-piece bonus of Spell Critical instead of Max Health:- Light Speaker
- Netch’s Touch
- Spider Cultist
- Ysgramor’s Birthright
These sets are meant to be damage or healing focused by augmenting a particular element or skill line, so the 2-piece bonus of Max Health was out of place for this theme. We’ve updated them to have more appropriate 2-piece bonuses instead.[/list]- The following item sets now has a 2-piece bonus of Weapon Critical instead of Max Health:
- Strength of the Automaton
- Sword Dancer
Does this change also affect old sets that are lying in my bank or only fresh items dropped after the update? (I dont play in PTS but I have a few pieces of Netch and Ysgramor lying in my bank in live)

Have you actually tested cause I had near 100% proc off Twisting path alone last I checked (granted it has been a while)?
AoE fights Yeah, proc time is insane. But any single target fight it can take 3 to 5 seconds to proc. Sometimes even longer. In all my single target tests on the skeleton I got 65 to 75 percent up time with force pulse. Drops about 10 percent on average with funnel health. And that is with the current spam meta. I'm not sure lightning staff procs is, I will test that tonight. But if not then I figure it will probably drop even further with morrowind. Maybe low fifties to 60 at most.
You might be able to get a buff tracker to read the proc and track it along side your wall of elements or something to throw in a nicely timed force pulse when down, but foe only a six second proc I'm not sure that would be exactly beneficial to do.0 -
drake88131✭✭✭So is this enough sorcerer nerfs? This is getting annoying.
Nope! The goal is to nerf everything multiple times until we all quit. ZOS is playing a game...how stupid is our player base?! Watch how instead of demanding they buff up everything for balance they start all demanding everything gets pulled down. Then we,zos, can say we just did what you asked?4 -

Stamicka✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I was really hoping you would revert a lot of the changes you made to sustain. Heavy attack builds are clunky, slow, repetitive, and to be blatant, just not fun. I had some pretty big plans before I read the first 3.0 patch notes. I was going to farm the remaining bit of my BiS gear and become a competitive PVE player. I had plans to work hard enough to get my maelstrom score into at least top the 50 range, and I even joined a vet trials team. Why? Because combat was fast paced, fun, and rewarding to learn. Why does fast pace combat matter so much? You game developers basically force us to run the same content over and over again to get good gear etc. Usually this would be a huge pain, admittedly it sometimes is a pain but it's bareable. However, the only reason I can tolerate repetitive content is because it's rewarding to clear content faster, and more efficiently. There's something rewarding about watching your character slowly develop a fast paced, smooth looking PVE rotation. In my opinion, it's the only thing that kept me from quitting PVE from sheer boredom. Taking away the fast paced combat system and replacing it with a clunky heavy attack system will be less rewarding, and will no doubt make running the same repetitive content an even bigger, and boring pain. Unfortunately these changes will make the game so boring that I've canceled my plans to push and become a top tier player, and am now searching for another game to be competitive on.
