I just realize, with yesterday's gameplay, on how much stam abilities have been nerfed, and reality has just sunked in for me. Yes, I have seen post/threads here and there on stam toons being nerfed; however, for the past several of months, I was mainly focused on leveling up the nine new toons I have since created and was not rolling around with my main maxed out StamDK toon. Even after I have leveled/reached level 50 on some of my new toons, which automatically bumps it up to max CP, I practically took that my dps or any single damage on target strike appeared to be lower, is because all my gear are purple. Plus, all my toons are on treasure hunter mode, so all resources are much lower than normal. Of course, you get a good bump to stats when you gold out everything.
So, yesterday, I had to my boy out for a romp, for old times sake; my foundation toon of this game, the maxed out everything StamDK which I have seen single strike numbers from the Wrecking Blow consistently in the 20k damages as well as into the mid-to-higher 30k and even seen here and there in the 40k damages. Yet, with a couple hours yesterday of tearing up PvE land, I rarely was seeing strikes hitting into the 20k. I was like what the hell. So, I decided to check out my stats. Then, I realized practically all my stam skills are lower in numbers. The coveted Wrecking Blow, I can remember, previously was at its base of 16k. Now, it's showing 12k. Wtf?!! Venomous Claw has dropped about 1k points. Yeah, from the previous nerfing of the Rearming Trap, I switched over to Lightweight, which previously was about 4500ish when triggered, but now it's showing 3900. Flawless Dawnbreaker has dropped about 3000 points. Noxious Breath and Bow skills/abilities have all dropped in numbers. What the hell, man?!
I then checked out the stats of my other stam toons. All skills have dropped in numbers. I had previously also a maxed out Breton StamPlar, but decided and had to do a toon suicide on that one because the BoL is poor (with only around 4k points) and resurrected a Nord StamPlar which the BoL is much better at 6kish points, in its place. Then, the BoL for this Nord StamPlar has since dropped to 4k. Wtf?!! I was rolling through world bosses with this Nord StamPlar when it was scrub level nothing 5. All the points of the other Templar stam skills, such as Biting Jabs, Power of the Light, and such, have all been reduced. Wtf, man?!! Oh *beeping* *beep* shite! Dammit, man!! Then seeing the stats on my tank, which has the 2h.. the Wrecking Blow, maxed out, is just showing 6785 physical damge. Wtf.. aaaahhhhhhh! I want to scream! Flawless Dawnbreaker, maxed out, is just 5800 with only 7000 additional. Wtf!! Piercing armor is only 2600, whereas it should be around 4-5k. Wtf, man.. this is too much! Why all these damn nerfing?!! or did I get hacked or something.. wtf?!!
What is up with this game and MMO?!! I had truly enjoyed ESO, for the past year and the half or so, despite have to deal with lags, crashes and other maintenance/technical dysfunctions and debacles that are always occurring, but this is just too crazy. What the hell, man?! Ha ha. This is too much. How the hell am I supposed to enjoy this game any further when all my Stam toons have been nerfed to shred.. and Morrowind hasn't even hit yet for console yet. Yes, I do have 2 maxed out majicka toons, but I am stam guy, by nature. Yes, I get it. You all Zen, ZOS, developers, whatnots, want to glorify Wardens and Morrowind in order to attract more to drop whatever 40 bucks into it, but damn, for me, I would have if I am still enjoying the game. By nerfing all these stam skills/abilities, you're actually causing an adverse effect for me. Hell no, I'm not dropping 40 bucks on Morrowind, after this!
However, I would like to thank you, ZOS, Zenimax, whoever, though, for showing me the light. I was getting too addictive to ESO anyways. Now, I can actually go cold turkey, like I did with cigarettes many years ago and never looked back. I can actually do the same with ESO. I thought, maybe, it would take ESO to get shut down somehow on its own accord by Zen/ZOS, whoever, in order for me to get out of ESO. Yet, here it is.. the guiding light. Thank you, Zen/ZOS, whoever. It has been a hell of a good run for a single game for me; holy crap, I've never been in one single game for this long, in all my entire long gameplay life. Sadly, I know.. all good things must come to an end. It just sunk in for me. I've just lost that loving feeling.. Can't say good-bye; I don't even do that in real life, but peace will have to do. Peace to you all, my gaming brothers and sisters.. Also, yeah, to all you sorry arse trolls, peace be with you as well.
