Imagine if this person used Caltrops or vMA bow

Nerfing stirfe doesn't fix the problem and punishes the wrong part of the game. But lets give the already pretty OP DK a buff. FFS just give frags it's damage back and let magic wardens keep their CC

    What a pointless post. Showing a bug as justification to stop a nerf.

    I don't want strife nerfed, no real point because then imbue and pulse out do it by a lot, and it homogenised the classes further. But it's hardly an entire class killing nerf, magblade will still be top mag spec, hell it even gets a buff with shade.

    there is no reason strife is getting nerfed. stirfe isn't even why magblades have high dps. most magblade dps don't even run strife. so why indeed.

    really it's just another blow to solo PvP as though it needed another blow.

    he probably did it intentionally making fun of the NB cheesing a dummy video. XD

    still tho. strife should not be nerfed. can't be said enough. it's a bad idea that does great harm to a classes signature skill.

    Lol, so you are posting a video about broken cheese, while trying to reference another video with broken cheese to make a point about a nerf to a completely different skill, all wrapped up in the false pretense that you don't know what is going on in the video you posted?

      Strife nerfing , thats the zos only option to make all pvpers claim down.

      40 percent seems too much, i would say yes absoutely, we all know Zos weak at maths.

      New skill elemental weapon can replace strife, this is a all class usable spam skill, we dont have to worry :)

      But where is our class exclusive self heal?
      Only Siphoning Attacks? That comes not even close to what other classes have.

      I doubt that we will break new parser record with elemental weapon, what it mean we will face new nerf phase again.

      Strife must be nerft. Without a nerf you will not use the new psijic skill as your spam skill. Its cheaper and gives you better results. Its not just strife, evey spamskill will get useless. And i know, no one beside zos like it.
      PVP Saint-Bud magicka Templar: AR 49

      Strife is getting nerfed to bring it in line with other hard hitting spammables with long range and strong secondary effects, it’s not rocket science.

      When all spammables perform within a couple of % of each other(dummy parses don’t count), then there is no reason why they should have significantly different costs. It’s really that simple.

      I know this isn’t a popular opinion but I also don’t care, it’s simple logic guys. Now it’s cost is in line with force pulse and imbue while offering a unique class based flavor in a spammable. It’s that simple. If you want unreflective use pulse, if you want guarantee status use imbue, if you want healing use strife

      it's a matter of class identity and there actually being a reason to play the class you want to play. i don't *** care about DPS numbers and cost matching up i want my magblade to feel and play like a magblade if i wanted to play a sorcerer i would play a sorcerer.

      and what you're saying is basically how all the good MMO's over the years lost mass amounts of players and ultimately died. it's not only an unpopular opinion your expressing but a bad direction for development. when all the classes play the same and all the builds are the same and there is no room for players imagination, games die. simple as that.

      No it isnt, and seriously drop the hyperbolic nonsense regarding other mmos loosing player bases over things like this. If you dont give any *** for dps numbers than nothing is stopping you from using strife, you simply dont want to place value its utility or you want to worry less about sustain. Force pulse is not what makes a sorc, and any magic build using the destro skill does not make them a sorc either.

      The value in strife and the chouce the developers are asking you to make is between its less damage, more utility for solo or ally helaing, or the raw damage from pulse. This has absolutely nothing to do with class identity.

      But imbue costs less than what they're making strife to be

      And the psijic skill line contains much less direct passives that will influence choosing IW over pulse or strife in pve and pvp when you consider the trade offs your making. As a skill, IW is bound to the range of you weapon, and the delayed damage ramp of the spell orb passive and the passive barrier are not exclusively enabled by IW. These factors are considered when you are weighing the cost budget of the skill.

      no because that is the way magblade is supposed to play. they're not supposed to have massive burst heals or stupidly high shield stacks or be that tanky. they're identity as a class is their low cost abilities and good sustain this is a direct blow to the class and how it was originally envisioned and how players play the class.

      and yes i've played by removing strife and replacing it with force pulse. it plays like a sorc it's rotation is basically the same as a sorc rotation and that's a problem.

      and what i'm saying is: i do not want all DPS classes and rotations to be the same. that is a boring and unimaginative game.
