Still waiting for the day they turn the Arctic Blast morph into the skill we saw in the Morrowind trailer.

The Magicka-based, Single-target, instant cast Direct Damage+DoT that activates a freeze CC for a few seconds..... a skill which this class so desperately needs for both PvE DPS and PvP (especially now that Deep Fissure has no stun).

1:55 - 1:58

There's also a surprising lack of birds and bees

You already got massive HoTs on this class that proc insane sustain... why do you need more?

70K+ hp warden memes need to stop. No class will be viable stacking health.

Mods write in to condescend to customers but don't bother to actually fix what customers are asking for, i think i wont waste anymore money on this company with this level of professionalism...

I was gonna buy crowns too, no chance, disgusting.. Yes its 20% of 10% but thats not how it was marketed.. and they know it.

On topic warden needs a complete overhaul..

What massive hots? Leaching vines? Ticks for 1-2k on a tank build, IF you are getting hit, IF you are looking away from your team, so you get the "hot". You get more reliable self heals from jus spamming the beach over and over.

What warden tanks need is a reliable self burst heal, like green dragons blood, clanfear, the new cloak. I have defended arctic wind primarily because I stack into healing done and received in heavy. If you don't, you have little benefits from this skill.

Facts:
- The skill is trash.
- The skill will continue to be trash next update.
- An “improvement” from 10% to 12% is hilariously bad.
- MagWardens will continue being shafted, until 1 of the poster children of ESO beg to the devs to quit gimping them.

Could you clarify how we lied? If you're referencing one of the write-ups from the recent event we had at the studio, they mentioned the heal will increase by 20% which is still true. It is increasing to 12%, which is a 20% increase in effectiveness. If this is something different, please let us know.

Hello Gina,
Your post seems to be something you and your team are focusing on? It appears the people posting are focusing on the actual problem and even though the Original post may not be factual, can someone at least take our suggestions regarding the skill? It is not worth slotting on our bar. Please re-review the above post if you have time. If it is intended this way, there isn't really a reason for the skill to exist. Thank you.

Im not sure why the Winter's Embrace line even has a heal, but that's just my opinion.

Was this write-up intended to be deceitful? Why not just say the initial heal was increased to 12%?

I think you understood the point.

The silly skill is still silly.

LMAO! Facts! Why is it even there? And not for nothing, I’d be perfectly fine if I was more similar to the Frost Cloak (or whatever it’s called lol) skill from Skyrim, and actually supplied a fair amount of damage and utility. Heck, I’d be fine if I just supplied a strong amount of utility. But instead, it’s this laughable skill that isn’t even a poor man’s: Rushed Ceremony, Vigor, Rally, Twilight Heal, etc. It’s this extremely awkward heal that seems incredibly out of place. Even worse, it is being viewed as an “improvement” in boosting it from 10% to 12%. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

1. No statement from ZOS aside from the patchnotes came down.

2. The only source I saw of giving out class changes was a youtuber. This was pre-patch data. Preview data. This was subject to change.

For ZOS to have lied, they had to have made a statement. They didn't.

I'm all about critisizing ZOS but do it when they actually deserve it.

No you just use some of the most awkward wording ever guys.

Remember Shuffle - "it's working as intended" - could have mentioned it was cheat engine using shuffle to make it appear as if it's not working as intended

Why do you use % based on a percentage?

It even takes longer to write. "Artic blast, increased the heal to 12% from 10%" aka there's been an addition of 2% - rather than "increasing this amount by 20%"

In English there is not any indication of a percentage of a percentage. It can be correctly interrupted as "we have increased this amount by an additional 20%" or "we have increased this amount by 20% of 10%"

Example, "I have 10%, I will increase this by 20%" how does the reader know if I mean 10+20 vs 10+(10*2) ? There's no indication.

ZoS could EASILY write it so the reader knows EXACTLY what's happening, but y'all do that intentionally don't you?

Edit: wanna write it so everyone knows exactly what you mean instantly? - "artic blast will gain an additional 2% healing"

Yeah this is a pretty shameful and pitiful change. Wroebel doing his finest work again. Lmao.

No one is going to use this skill over Enchanted Growth, ever.

Even on my Tank I get way more benefits with Enchanted Growth than Arctic Wind. I can reliable hit at least 2-3 targets (including myself), heal them for more HP and increase their regeneration for basically the same cost.

Maybe halve the cost of Arctic Wind and people might use this skill.

red_emu · April 2018

Now you can also enjoy PTS where you are tasked to look for quest bugs and crown store bugs. The initial patch notes? How many times did they change their mind about them after PTS? Never! If anything, MagWarden will be nerfed even further, making the class only viable for Role-Playing.

Such a shame ZOS. Wonderful concept of a class, extremely poor execution. Had I known this is gonna be a stamina class only - I wouldn't have bought Morrowind

Now you said it, they will increase EG cost to 7400 Magica
