- Dawnbreaker: This ability and its morphs can no longer be dodged.

General

Fixed a specific case where some charge and leap abilities (such as Critical Charge or Dragon Leap) were displaying their animation and visual effects but not actually moving you to the enemy target.
Fixed an issue where targeting an enemy could interfere with your ability to resurrect a dead ally.
Fixed an issue where The Lady and The Lover Mundus Stone buffs were being removed when you reloaded your character or zoned into a new area.

Nightblade

Shadow
- Twisting Path (Path of Darkness morph): Fixed an issue where this morph was not being considered a damage over time effect.

Item Sets

Torug’s Pact: This item set now reduces the cooldown of your weapon enchantment by 30% instead of one second, and is multiplicative with the cooldown reduction of the Infused trait.

General

Fixed an issue where the Minor Slayer buff was being removed if you equipped multiple Item Sets that granted the buff.

Item Sets

Engine Guardian: The monster summoned by this Item Set’s proc will now stick by your side instead of attempting to wander off and engage enemies (similar to the behavior of the Betty Netch).

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

Animation

The Kneel emote is no longer listed twice in the Ceremonial category from the Emote menu.
Imp wings no longer look stiff when blocking their heavy attacks.

General

Fixed an issue where the Special Furnishings capacity was not being doubled for ESO Plus members.

Homes

Returned several missing objects to Stay-Moist Mansion.

You will no longer be knocked through doors in the Howling Sepulchers.

Collections

Fixed an issue that prevented the Midyear Victor's Laurel Wreath from showing up in the Collections UI prior to acquiring it.
- This also prevented it from appearing on the list of rewards for the Star-Made Knight achievement. This was a UI only issue.
Clarified the acquire hint for the Midyear Victor’s Laurel Wreath to indicate that it is only available during the Midyear Mayhem Holiday Event.
Fixed an issue where several collectibles with temporary names were visible in the Collections UI; we are no longer asking you to name these nameless collectibles.

Gamepad Mode

Fixed an issue that could cause some tutorials to become stuck on-screen.
Fixed an issue where the Bull Horns emote appeared twice in the list of collected emotes.

Help & Tutorials

Removed an out of date loading screen tip that discussed level scaling in dungeons.
Added a help menu entry for Chaosball medals.

Why was Torug's pact nerfed and the oblivion damage enchant left alone? The issue wasn't the ability to weave in the enchant damage between abilities, it was that doing so with oblivion damage was too strong.

LaerothKeykalyn · July 2017

Hmm.... really?

This is actually a buff for Torug's Pact.

30% means that 10 second enchants are now 7 second cooldown instead of 9.

With Infused and Torug's, 10 second enchants are now 3.5 seconds instead of 4.

4 second enchants are now 2.8 instead of 3.

With infused/Torug's 4 second enchants are now 1.4 (assuming they were 1 before? not sure if torug's or infused applied first)

Ixtyr · July 2017

RIP Scathing Mage Magblades.

rhapsodious · July 2017

Hm, not a lot this time around (but I guess that's, in some ways, a good thing). Glad to see some of the annoying bugs like the Mundus stones losing their buff on rezoning got fixed.

Still looking into a toggle for ally particle effects?

Adenoma · July 2017

If you can fix twisting path can you fix fetcher flies so that it will proc Skoria like a DOT should?

Cinbri · July 2017

Engine Guardian: The monster summoned by this Item Set’s proc will now stick by your side instead of attempting to wander off and engage enemies (similar to the behavior of the Betty Netch).
Just thank you.

SanTii.92 · July 2017

Two quick and important fixes on torug's and dawnbreaker, appreciated.

ifDoubtNerfIt · July 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno Where is Wrobel and what have you done with him ? Those two patches are way too positive for Wrobel's style of "balancing".

Vaoh · July 2017

Are Wardens going to have any bug fixes for Winter's Revenge having a lower than intended critical chance or Swarm counting as a Direct Damage skill instead of a DoT (same bug as with Twisting Path)? I've been playing *a lot* of Magicka Warden and these two bugs alone hurt their already low DPS.

CavalryPK · July 2017

I cant believe this is it! I was expecting my world to make sense again !!!

Swarm counting as direct dmge is probably a dps gain with the buffs to crit chance, since it procs Scathing and Neri. I'd rather see them not changing it.

"Fixed a specific case where some charge and leap abilities (such as Critical Charge or Dragon Leap) were displaying their animation and visual effects but not actually moving you to the enemy target."

YAY!

For Critical Charge, I'm assuming thats the as called by most macro slash bug?

cschwingeb14_ESO · July 2017

Torugs by itself was buffed. 30% is better in all cases. And much better for longer cooldown enchants like Power enchants.

And combined with infused, I think it's even more reduction: 4s x .7 x .5 = 1.4s

I assume that Oblivion damage will be affected by Battle Spirit pretty soon. That means they need to buff knight Slayer up to 15%

LordSlif · July 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno nothing about ice staff and thaumaturge cp?

It's save to assume Infused applied first. If it did not, the old calculation would of been (4-1)/2=1.5 seconds. Which means that with this change they actually buffed the proc of the enchants by 0.1 seconds.

So its safe to assume the calculation looked like this (4/2)-1=1 second.

Now that it is multiplicative it's for sure 1.4 seconds. So that combo got nerfed by 0.4 seconds.

However it won't stop the whining of oblivion enchants once the patch drops

I really hate it when the first comment is just wrong.

Oblivion dmg was/is still the problem.

@ZOS_GinaBruno If you're fixing books, can you fix Valyia's Cargo Manifest in Obsidian Gorge, Deshaan? It's not present once the related quest in the area has been completed.

LordSlif · July 2017

There is a problem with thaumaturge and master-at-arms and you are doing nothing

@Lord_Dexter
There is a problem with some skills and CP:

Some skills as Curse, proximity detonation, unstable core are DOT in the game (it procs valkyn skoria, empower dnt work too).

Thaumaturge (CP): increase DOT damage
Master-at-Arms (CP): increase direct damage attacks

Skills that deal damage after a few seconds like Curse, proximity detonation, unstable core... are increasing their damage with Master-at-Arms instead thaumatuge.

Franieck · July 2017

Are the new motifs and sets finally in the template characters?

glavius · July 2017

Infused+oblivion+torugs was actually nerfed quite abit with this, since most weaves are 1-1,2 seconds. Meaning it will proc half as much.

Waffennacht · July 2017

Thank you for making crafted sets relevant again
