✭Necropotence 5-piece nerfed by 21.25%??
What is the math that justifies this? Or is it just a reaction to forum whining?
Not happy about this change at all.
The fact that every sorc and their mother is running the set? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That set was way over the top ... that would be 7300 Magicka +20% +10%
2 items) Adds 967 Max Magicka
(3 items) Adds 967 Max Magicka
(4 items) Adds 967 Max Magicka
(5 items) While you have pets active, increase Max Magicka by 4000
Lets look at the stam version
Same exact set except 2500 as the 5th bonus / But no pet requirement ... Im sure your Stam Warden wouldnt mind a pet requirement and 3100 stamina ...PVP DEADWAIT

Midori_Oku✭✭✭With the buffs to the 2-4 piece bonuses pet sorcs will still roughly have the same amount of magicka they have currently on live. Assuming you are running Ilambris and Moondancer anyway. It's hardly a nerf. Still sucks cause I wanted to see how high I could stack my max magicka after the update. Oh well.Midori Oku - Female High Elf - Magicka Sorcerer

Phlathead✭✭Very happy with these patches, they'll definitely help with diversity. Curious why some of this stuff took so long though.
Looking forward to the balance patches. Is there an ETA on when we will start seeing these on the PTS or when the target release week/month for the Live servers will be?
And I don't suppose there will be a sale on the race change tokens with all of the patch changes?

It now seems to be around ever 1.4s if you stack Torug's + infused.
Assume it went from
4 * (1 - (0.5+0.3)) = 0.8s
To
4 * (1 - 0.5) * (1 - 0.3) = 1.4s1 -

Nice! Does this multiplicative change also apply to swords buffed by Twin Blade and Blunt / Heavy weapons and bows buffed by Hawk Eye / Long Shots?

Those bonuses add about 100 more magicka. So instead of truly losing 850 magicka it's losing 550. That's still a significant hit to the incentive to run Necro when it requires a living pet (more important for Sorcs than Wardens), and while sets like Julianos, Mother's Sorrow, and Torgue's Pact paired with Infused have all seen significant buffs. Necro should be BiS for pet sorcs. I fear that it will not when compared to these other sets now.Edited by dpencil1 on August 7, 2017 3:55PM3 -

While i agree in the general consensus, that those bonus should be multiplicative and we can add other skills like molten armaments, set bonuses like minor and major slayer, that would mean zos would be going back to how tha game worked before and would boost overal dps a lot for mostly everyone and i dont think thats their idea.
Maybe zos should make aditive the cp system instead of everything else. That would nerf CP (and dps in general) without breaking a lot of skills and set bonuses. 1 more example of how bad the CP system has been for the game balance.2 -
Sargentwilko51✭✭✭The execute damage scaling being moved to multiplicative is a good thing and where it used to be.
My fear here is.. that only execute scaling was moved and not the full revert to the change that made all damage done bonuses additive with CP.
I think its safe to assume that its only execute scaling that got pulled out and placed as multiplicative, but it is ZOS, so, needs to be fully tested for sure.
I would assume that all other skills and % amps to them (such as sweeps) were not included, as the note says execute damage scaling...0 -

Why would/should a crafted set be on equal grounds as a dropped set, since you mentioned it, equal grounds as an endgame set?#MOREORBS0
