Did you guy's really just remove wrath but replace it with nothing??

"Wrath: This passive ability has been replaced with the Revitalize passive, which increases the resources your Heavy Attacks restore by 12/25%."

Someone didn't read the next item in the patch notes.

Merciless charge now increases the damage if your next direct attack by 50%. Combos bruh.

If only combos work instead of activating a move only for a buggy mess of animations that lock up and fire everything at once. Lol.

Fix dual wield.

Weapon
One Hand and Shield
Shield Wall: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 135 Ultimate from 100.

Bow
Scattershot: This ability and its morphs no longer apply a 5-second disorient to enemies hit. Instead, they now apply a 1.5 second stun.

Restoration Staff
Panacea: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs to 125 Ultimate from 100.

[*]Heavy Armor
Wrath: This passive ability has been replaced with the Revitalize passive, which increases the resources your Heavy Attacks restore by 12/25%.

Rapid Mending: This passive ability no longer increases the amount of resources your Heavy Attacks restore, as that effect has been moved to the new Revitalize passive. It continues to increase your healing received by 4/8%.
Developer Comment:
We want each of the three armor types to have unique trade-offs. Heavy Armor’s main advantage is its increase to survivability, while the disadvantage is its lower damage and healing power. To emphasize this distinction, we’ve removed the Wrath passive.

Hahah nerf hammer is merciless xD Tanks will have a bit harder times especialy in PvP

) Here ya go, a nerf for ya and for ya

Hope you all like it now

See folks? Listen to people that are a bit longer in this game than most of you

Dont call for nerfs because you never know when nerf will stike back

Extinct_Solo_Player · October 2017

Why is resto ult cheaper than snb ult? If anything it should be the other way round.

Crom_CCCXVI · October 2017

Wow, is that actually a nerf to Mag Sorcs? In 2 years, that may be the first

leepalmer95 · October 2017

Decided to come back to see if the games gonna be playable again.

This game could of been great if it didn't have the worst balancing team i've ever seen running it.

More 'fixes' which are barely more than bandages being thrown on unbalanced and outright broken things which will hurt the game more in a few.

I'm also 100% convinced they are trying their best to completely kill off small scale group pvp and solo pvp in favour of everyone running around in a massive zerg.

All these changes affect small scale or solo players a lot more than zergers.

You think zergers care about shuffle change? They don't care about snare removal or dodge chance.
They don't care about wraith because they barely get hit and if they do they just run back into the zerg to get healed.

Wheres the fix to deal with the fact half of pvp are currently heavy healers? Or they have access stupid op heals?

Zergs are groups are just full of 25k-35k+ hp magplars spamming their auto aimed smart heals. Cross healing eachother and healing so much that you can drop several ults on a group and have no ones hp move.

Ive been seeing max cp mag sorc running around with like 40k hp and heavy lightning in zergs ffs. Why are the devs promoting such bad play? They can survive you bursting them while they attack you for stupidly small amounts of damage and throw out stuff like resto ults when they can.

Next patch:

Only stam nb can play medium effectively. Yes its possible to play medium on anything but its not effective. Considering every patch more and more stuff just goes through roll and your main defence rolling is becoming less and less effective is what forced people in heavy in the first place, they had no choice.

Only Stam warden can play heavy effectively because they are the only ones who have a stam instant heal and can afford to drop shuffle and go forward momentum and actually be able to move with the 100s of stupid broken snares in this game.

Sure stamplar have purge but it only removes 5 and rarely the actual snare with the amount of effects on you.

Stam warden is literally just better than stam dk in every way.

If wrobel thinks that removing the 200 weap/spelldmg will make medium or light armor more attractive, then he will be in for a surprise

At least he tried....

Lmao at least he tried dude has no clue what he's doing lol

So I guess the nerf to clever alchemist is still going to happen this is bs

Careful now dw mag sorcs can:

Curse
Meteor
Rune
Frag

All at the same time while they cc you through block/ roll and have easy 55k~ tooltip dmg hit you at once.

Then why have heavy armor sets, like fury/ravager/seventh legion, that give more weapon damage than medium armor sets?

Ward duration, streak fatigue, procced cfrag damage, ulti storage, just to name a few. but surely, it fits the argument better when you withhold these.

You can break free and dodge to avoid crystal frag right after meteor.

Good luck surviving an unavoidable Curse, Meteor, Rune Prison, Crystal Fragment combo next patch and living to CC break after.

maboleth · October 2017

ZOS, your PVP community is in a bad shape. People dislike the lag, you force guys to zerg, have only 2 working campaigns, force people to use CP for Battlegrounds, force battles to be without any merit, like some kind of leaderboard.

Not to mention that your Twitch PVP community is dying. Sypher rarely does ESO now, Fengrush too, Blobs ditched the game entirely for good. Two guys you invited to HQ during Morrowind are now out. Are you happy?

You cannot cast crystal frag and rune prison at the same time because of global cooldown.

Thogard · October 2017

I don’t know who’s going to benefit from this patch more: stamblades or magblades.

Either way, cyrodil is about to suck. Either I run heavy armor and get snared and kited by NBs and be unable to kill them, or I wear medium armor and get insta-ganked when they pop me.

Sigh.

Anne_Firehawk · October 2017

Templar and DK changes are pathetic. You do realise theres no place anymore for Magicka DKs and Magicka Templars outside of Zergs? And even there is no place for Magicka DKs. Good *** job Zenimax, 4 weeks of feedback completely ignored again.

Lol they are all stamina based sets, NOTHING for magicka again. Just pathetic. 15 freaking pages of feedback COMPLETELY ignored, shame on the developers.

PvP was out of hand with heavy armor.
There is no denying that.

As for PvE maybe something could have been changed, but damage on a tank is already inconsequential for the most part, this change makes little impact there.
Get over it.

While it's always a shame to see someone lose love for something, a few streamers leaving the game is inevitable. People are going to get burnt out of something eventually, regardless. In an MMORPG, people come and go by the day. It's a testament to ESO that most of those guys played as long as they did.

Magicka is just fine, most of pvp on ps4 eu are heavy magplars.

Curse 3.5s delay
Meteor 2s delay
Rune instant.
Frag instant if procced and will hit after rune drops block or roll.

They'll all hit as roughly the same time and you won't be able to do anything.

Been playing the game for a long time, i'm aware there are global cooldowns.

Don't bother the games been a laggy mess for years and nothing has been done, nothing will be done because they have no idea how to actually do it.

It'll fix itself eventually when the game dies enough that theres is like 50 people in pvp.

Seems to be a buff to heavy armor sustain rather than a nerf to heavy armor damage.

Nope. That's the same sustain passives it currently has on live, just in 2 passives now rather than one and removal of Wrath.
It's only a nerf.

Get over it.

I see it more like a nerf to stam toons in general. Medium armor is in a really bad place. Mediocre sets and a borderline useless main defense mechanism. And now a blatant nerf across all heavy armor while the real issues (permablock, dmg sets) are still there. So what's this all about?
You can now choose between a squishy medium and a snarefest in heavy. Sounds like fun!

GeorgeBlack · October 2017

Who can spot which one of all these changes was suggested by player feedback?
I'm having a really hard time finding one that zos used due to player discussion
