PTS Patch Notes v4.0.2

LightblindSoul ShrivenVery disappointed that arena weapons (Master, Maelstrom, etc) still have not received a 1pc stat bonus to compensate for the fact that ALL two handed weapons now give 2 bonuses.
Agreed, Arena weapons do need a reasonable buff to keep their reward for proving you're half competent at the game.4 -

@JohnStorm from a GuildieThese are the top 6 mil self buffed parses on pts server aggregated from pts forum (to try to eliminate cheese parses as much as possible I've not included 3 mil parses);
StamDK - 44k
MagDK - 45.8k
MagBlade - 57.8k!!!
StamBlade - no value yet
MagSorc - 47k (no pet)
StamSorc - 50k
Magplar - 45k
Stamplar - no value yet
MagWarden - 47.7k!!!
StamDen - no value yet
To get a sense of why I'm not including 3 mil parses, a magblade hit 70.9k a few days ago on a cheese parse... no other class has hit higher than 50k self buffed even on 3 mil. A 6 mil parse gives a sense of how sustainable the build is.
Even if you add 8% extra damage to all other classes (to account for minor beserk), magblades are over performing at the moment. Stam Sorc and Mag Warden parses were very surprising. Remains to be seen what changes going forward as new pts patch will come out today so there will be more parses coming out soon I'm sure.
Using Elemental Weapon, Blue max magicka/max health food and Balance will give you those numbers. It is pure cheese and in no way it's related to the DPS of the class because everyone can run it and get higher dps than a magwarden.
@JohnStorm while I haven’t done the leg work myself, it appears as it’s not pure cheese as stated by the person a quoted. Considering there are classes chasing 50k right now on live, I have a hard time believe any of this is cheeseMaiden Maura - Xbox NA

Depends what else gets turned into this buff or grants it. However it does seem ZOS is trying to remove the stacking of too many buffs, which is one way to bring the creep back and make multiple sets and builds viable.Wait, wouldn't the new buff actually be a nerf because it can't be stacked anymore?

Temeraire507✭✭✭Vestment of Olorime vs SPC looks interesting. SPC is triggered by any overheal. Vestment of Olorime is bound to a ground based AoE over 10sec to grant the buff, although granting it for 30sec once it hits. What is better may require testing (for example whether it can hit more than 6 people)2 -

HEBREWHAMMERRR✭✭✭✭✭Did you not reply to comments last patch note thread saying that you would be addressing balance changes this patch? All I see are some new sets being reworked? Did I miss something or did we fall asleep at the wheel again? Revert the strife change or give us some incentive to slot this over force pulse, quit taking away class identity and uniqueness. No one wants to play a watered down game where everyone heavy attacks and uses the same damn abilities.12

Ok, have fun running balance in raids, especially in places like vHoF and vMoL HM. And it IS cheese because NOBODY ELSE can get major slayer on a dummy except for magnbs, and as you can see they are far ahead with numbers. Once you compare magwarden numbers to other classes in RAID environment, you will see how far behind they can be.1 -

StoicSunbro✭✭✭It's way to soon to say SPC is dead.
The new set is ground based, and players must stand in it for the buff to be applied. If the circle is small enough, it will not be ideal for soft stacks (like starfall).
Additionally if the set works like Circle of Protection, where it continually applies a 1 server tick buff to allies standing within the circle, it is not buffed by Jorvulds. SPC will be affected.
So the new sets have different use cases and tradeoffs. There are going to be situations where one has higher uptimes on more targets than the other.Edited by StoicSunbro on April 30, 2018 6:24PM1 -
