    completely unnecessary nerf imo. It's already very expensive ultimate and the damage is already nerfed to the ground.

    The nerf is fine, a good tank pile the *** out of mobs+boss in one tiny place that even meteor will hit them all.

    If you tank is good enough to hold the boss still when you drop your ultimate, I don't think 8 vs 10 meters is going to make a huge difference. If your tank isn't, you might as well have saved your ultimate.

    you use it to take out the boss AND adds. Not just the boss. holding the boss still is a given. If the boss standing still was the only issue ppl would go around running meteor all the time.

    Another pve nerf due to PvP. So tired of this ***. Same reason for all of the block cost nerfs, crit nerfs, constant damage nerfs, this game is being run into the ground because of whiny brats not getting their way in cyrodiil and battlegrounds.

    I pug. I'm the tank who'll be pulling the adds into your destro ultimate.

    However, judging by the DPS I get on a regular basis, again, I'm not sure I'm going to see a huge difference.

    Might want to check that again.

    Elemental Storm is the base skill
    Elemental Rage is the PVE Morph
    Eye of the Storm is the PVP Morph

    This was nerfed because, as already been stated, sweaties complaining about the Zerg hordes running with Eye of the storm around themselves. The only logical thing to do with this was to nerf Eye of the Storm and only Eye of the Storm.

    It goes both ways^ but yes absolutely agree PvE shouldn't suffer from PvP nerf and vice versa.

    That is my point, though badly worded. They nerfed both. Meaning they wanted it nerfed in PvE too. Maybe because its the dominant ult for 4/5 mag classes. Its not like they haven't nerfed eye of the storm ONLY before.

    Again. PvE carebears cry for cries sake.

    Also, ZOS likes to nerf overused and powerful skills.

    Its hard to argue that the destro ultimate isn't powerful and overused in both PVE and PVP.

    It ain't even going to be the dominant one for sorcs anymore. They will be running Greater Atro with the massive buff they got.

    I know my StamSorc is now going to be running Greater Atro.

    Nerf one thing, something else surfaces as 'the best'. It's the same old story.

    I doubt it honestly. The buff was kind of small because they altered the base values to keep it from being OP. It still suffers from being stunned and single target. Though it will see some more uses.

    I distinctly recall a PTS thread that tested the Greater Atronach with the changes and found that the overall damage was lower. [In other words, it gets CP buffs but the baseline that gets buffed appears to have been changed.] Obviously I cannot prove if this is the case with the live patch since, well, that would require logging into the game. At some point.

    In any case, I'd already been phasing out the Storm ultimate (slowly but surely) because of my getting sick and tired of the boss moving out of the AoE after a couple of seconds. [Even with a decent tank - some bosses just like to hop around.] This is just going to a) confirm; b) reinforce; and c) accelerate my transition out of it to other ults.
