Sounds good if they really HAVE to make it 5 light attacks.. don't understand why it just can't stay at 4. How scared of NBs can they possibly be.

Frankly I hate grim focus, always have since they replaced Haste with it. NB does need a heavy DD nuke in its DPS arsenal but they constantly fail in its implementation.

If they want to get real about having a game with no cool-downs then they should just change it so the buff 'conjures' a Daedric bow that consumes mana for arrows and allows players to key press multiple times in a row to shoot arrows till they run out of mana or the bow is un-summoned.

They talk about resource management being integral to their game, well make it so the resource management matters for you using skills, not how many light attacks you do, which is in truth just a 5 second cool-down in disguise. If they want to put a timer on how often a nuke can be used then just do it already and quit pretending your combat system is something its not.


As a side note, Forcing players to use weapons for DPS is ANTI-ES. It should be an option, not a requirement.
It was always an option in ES games of past to just run around with empty hands and use actual spells to wreck stuff as a proper caster. From Arena to Skyrim, Bethesda never made it a requirement to hit stuff with physical weapons or shoot *** out of sticks to have fun, why o why does zos force us to in TESO?

Light and Heavy attacks in this game suck, changing their damage value won't change that, they are just bland repetitive animations that the game forces you to use for baseline damage. Heck the fact that the game lets you even cancel the animation for the attack should tell you something about how non-meaningful it is to players. Why structure combat around non-meaningful actions?
