Summerset Changes: 2h Weapons and Combustion Sustain

JamuThatsWho · April 2018

I can't wait for my MagDK to get his hands on Summerset. Reading about all the upcoming changes has made me all giddy.

For now, but he is reliable and well-respected in the community, and he was one of the recent playtesters.

Either that or wait until PTS patch notes are up. The point of the playtest wasn't to inform everyone of the changes. Those invited just have the luxury to do so. If you want it straight from ZOS wait for PTS notes.

Final notes when the chapter is released.

I saw a video that mentioned the 2h change to sets, totally going to make a new build (possibly even the same build) with a 2h in mind. I actually use one roaming around the world, and I just made a hunding's rage bow to keep the 4th set bonus when I swap. It will be nice to keep the 5th bonus the whole time, with a 2h sword.

Everyone should buy their 2h weapon motifs now, they will go up when the chapter hits.

What I have been asking myself is wheter the sustain is added on top of the damage boost the current combustion passive gives to fire and poison status effects, or replaces it.

In the former case it would be a stright up buff, in the latter case it would actually be kind of a buff combined with a stealth nerf in my opinion.

A nerf over all more like if they remove the current Combustion passive. They need to change it from Combustion to Elder Dragon in that case. People saying 'oh, but the two-hander change--' and? Every other magicka class benefits from it as well, but you don't see one of their best dps passives being nerfed into oblivion.

The only non-2h weapon motif page is daggers.

There's a minor error in Alcast's type up of Combustion. It's effectively two separate effects that don't share a cooldown. So, poison will return Stamina, while applying burning will return Magicka, "each" can occur once per five seconds. If you're thinking of building a hybrid for PvP or tanking, that might be worth taking into account.

thanks, will fix that. And that is actually pretty strong
