Finally a patch in the right direction!!

Finally some good changes to weapon traits, this alone is enough to get me back into the game where sharpened isnt the one trait to rule them all. The changes to armor stats and mundus stones is nice too.

This is a very good step in the right direction. If the weapon trait system actually works then a token system won't be that important since the damage difference between sharpened, nirn and precise wont be that massive.

Some class balance now would be nice. A nerf to Sorcs would be nice or a buff to a others specially stamplars and wardens in general.

The changes to proc sets is not all that bad imo the nerfs are not massive and the viper nerf is good for pvp but no one used it in pve anyways.

I was going to agree with you then you said nerf sorcs and vigor isn't used in PvE.

Magsorcs are the top dps class pve hands down and in pvp they are also top tier.

Also I said Viper not used in pve not vigor

Mag sorcs aren't top pve dps longer. End-game top dps belongs to staminas now.

Agree on most here. The weapon trait/mundus changes are great. They really give players a chance to choose the trait and mundus that goes best with their play style and build. That will likely lead to more build diversity which is so lacking right now.

Class balance is still an issue, especially with mag Wardens which are sad and pathetic compared to all other classes. A nerf to sorcs though is a bad idea. The reason sorcs are so powerful is because they're versatile and the class itself is very balanced. It obviously shines when it comes to DPS but you can also be a decent tank, healer, or support player with the right gear and skill. You can't really say that about all the other classes.
Also, depending on the game mode, other classes out play them more often. A stam NB is killer in PvP for example. Damage parses for all classes don't see sorcs on top necessarily anymore. If you want real class balance, use sorcs as a template to properly buff and adjust the other classes, passives, and skills. Explore more thoroughly the more recent additions of providing a counter to everything like they do now with CP and have started with gear set changes.
