No Grim Focus Fix

    Just to clarify, if I’m using it with my stamblade, while standing right on top of the target, and I still reload the skill instead of getting the arrow, then this is completely on me, right?

    Please nerf counting to 5! It’s too hard!

    We're currently testing a fix for Grim Focus, and if it passes QA, we'll include in the next incremental patch.

    Can you confirm which issue with Grim Focus this will be addressing?

    Of course. This fix makes it so you get the stacks from the ability as soon as you light attack, instead of after the light attack deals damage.

    So, at this time you have no intention of making changes to "leaving combat"? I understand holding a spectral bow for a long time is not good for PVP whatever, but you can't even make it between rounds in VMA, and rounds happen quickly. It's clunky now. Perhaps a happy median?

    Rofl. I don't care if it's cluncky for PvE players, it's a super strong skill and making it hitting faster will completely break PvP if you are unable to break CC in time do avoid the Assassins Will proc after it (it hits too hard to make it unavoidable). Man just be happy that nb is in such a strong spot this patch instead of demanding more buffs which will most likely lead to a nerf some time later. This community man...
    I used to think that PvP was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a comedy.

    In before the "preload" grim focus with 5 light attacks before entering combat bug appears.. :)

    I really do hope building the stack requires a valid target. The combat status in Cyrodiil is quite unreliable.



    well it should, as it was before they broke it

    Making it hit faster... no. Making it hit like it did before the bug made it hit slower.

    Just eat the nerf because someone thinks it is hard to deal with. This community indeed...

    Super glad about this. I even opened the bug thread and I am so happy to see this will get fixed. Thank you ^^

    ZOS could we please have an update on grim focus performance in Maelstrom? This issue has been reported since day 1 of the new patch in more than one post, and yet there has been no response to it. Will we see it adressed in the upcoming incremental?

    Gina mentioned that there will be a fix for the delayed stacks of grim focus, not for its performance in Maelstrom. Right now, with the new changes to grim focus, exiting combat removes all the stacks you have built. In Maelstrom, every time white portals spawn you are technically exiting combat, which means that all the stacks you have built (or the spectral bow if you have that ready) will be gone. There hasn't been an update on that.

    So how does this effect us DW MNB. I can just swing at a target and get a stack? Even if I’m no when near the target.

    Curious on how you all feel about this merciless change. And how it could hurt DW MNB. Destro Staff users don’t even have to hit the target if this change goes through. DW probably still has to connect.

    I really don't like that my stacks go away if I get out of combat. but I don't take it to close to my inner nightblade, since I never bother with VMA. In pvp if you are out of combat ... its either you are dead or they are dead.. so you don't need MR for that time being.

    I think it will def hurt the melee magblades who rely on cloak to get in an out of fights to built up their stacks. essentially. they have to make sure they are not away more then 6 seconds... I guess.

    I actually stopped playing the game for the time being. I made a post regarding multiple issues I was having. I found out that instead of enjoying the game I was getting frustrated. This was a good indication to take a brake. If any one care here is my issue post:

    I remember reading you lose the charge if you go out of combat. Would make sense that you do.
