    I can put a Monster set, clever alchamist, willpower, and a damage set on my toon haha.

    Hmmm, on magsorc, bloodspawn, eye of mara (reduce resto staff cost by 12%, blessing of potentates (10% ult reduction) and seducer (8% cost reduction), powerstone passive 15% ult reduction.

    Total ult reduction: 45% for resto ult, 55 ult cost. What could go wrong with that :wink:

    what is your source on that?

    I think Wrobel told us. Which was kinda hilarious, because I was in Crag crafting TBS jewelry, and didn't even notice that my Hundings bow had double counted.

    @Nestor So can you do two glyphs on a 2H? When doing duel weapons they have separate glyphs. Just wondering if they worked that out.

    Also understand if you say you can not answer.

Can i have nirnhoned in slot 1 of the bow and sharpened in slot 2( offhand)? Can i have disease enchant in slot 1 and absorb stamina in slot 2? Explain please.

    Its good and all, HOWEVER I do feel its yet another nail in the coffin for DW Magika players. 5:5:2 is about all the setup still had really in its favour. Now that setup without the staff passives will be a bigger nerf.

    Please be a bit more precise when you say "vMA and AS weapons aren't useless now" :) does this mean, they are still okish because their effects are good for 1 piece or does this mean, that they have been buffed by giving them spell damage like they used to be ?

    Hmm magplar will still use dual wield, until they somehow nerf twin blade a blunt, and extra damage you get from dual wielding.

    Stamplar will use 5 WM with a Greatsword so we finally have an execute.

    Stamsorc 5 VO with Greatsword.

    MagDK 5 Moondancer thank God.

    DW is fine, or did they remove the Twin blade and blunt working for mag chars? Or did they nerf the extra spell/weapon damage from dual wield?

    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    Dual wield, a STAMINA weapon set, being the best option for MAGICKA builds never made any sense in the first place, so let's not act like players would deserve any compensation for the change.

    Giving dual wield a balancing pass for STAMINA players on the other hand I could get behind.

    You have listed:
    2 piece monster
    5 piece Mara
    5 piece Seducer
    3 piece Potentate

    Not sure how you're planning to do that, but if you get it figured out do share.

    Back bar set ups will be super strong. Back bar set, 3 piece weapon set, monster helm, with another set. Maybe the new meta.

    Eternal hunt, agility, spriggans and helm.

    This is going to be hard to balance. In pvp and pve, though of coirse i cant see any pvers complain

    This will be nice...means I can finally run my Rattlecage/Medusa/Illambris combo for my magicka DK tank/DPS hybrid. having 100% uptime on major sorcery and minor force without having to waste the skill slots on igneous weapons/molten armaments and rearming trap is huge(though molten armanents will probably have to stay for increased heavy attack damage). Now, if only I can find a sustain solution now that they nerfed whip into the ground I will be golden....I will probably be forced to heavy attack 40% or more of the fights

    That was my first question as well. How will this work with 2H 1-piece sets like Maelstrom and Asylum weapons?
    Will they get a buff to make up for the lost set piece?

    Yep, vMA and asylum weapons just got worse. Bad direction in my opinion.

    Nope, I disagree. There are many people incapable of running vMA and/or trials. Giving them viable competitive options actually opens that content to them. For example, vMA is easy enough to me...as well as trials, but I cant STAND running vet trials because of the elitists who tell me I have to run this or that set and these skills just to get a spot....so I simply rarely run trials because I hate the enforced-meta attitude.

    Besides that, I am always in support of ANYTHING that increases available build options, which this does nicely.

    So what? DW isnt a magicka weapon anyway, the ONLY reason anyone ever used it was for the extra slot and marginal extra damage anyway...now that they are finally correcting that little oversight DW magicka will become obsolete. The only niche slot this will really hurt is magicka DK since they did use the DW heavy attack to regain stamina which they need for melee fights, though the option is still available I guess

    @Grim13

    No, they still take just one glyph. Remember, the off hand only has a chance to proc on dual wield (and I am not sure if you ever get both to proc on one attack anyway) and the Shield Glyph is an armor Glyph so it does not do direct damage increases. So, this was already balanced to that regard

    You don't need to add a second slot, it just is. So, slot the Stave, you already have a 2 piece set bonus, just like if you slot two Daggers
