@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Wrobel - Care to explain? As per my understanding, the set as of now deals damage / second with whatever count of stack is active. With this change, is it going to be 1 sec on, 1 sec off and then continue? So the Damage tooltip will be kinda xxx dmg/ 2 second?

It just prevents you from building up more than one stack per second, which was happening with the Blood Moon set's light attack speed bonus (in particular this is a nerf to those crazy 70k werewolf parses we were seeing).

@LiquidPony so the damage will remain unchanged as to present?

Can we make Siege Shield purge at least one already placed siege ground effect?

So what your asking for is make it a spammable?

I main a mag sorc an I think I love run cage but I agree it's totally busted an I don't think they understand how to fix it. it's a broken skill design to kill good player in there eyes. really they need to jus get rid of the skill completely an do something more for the Stam sorc with that slot an put the stun back on frags every class has something that makes them unique but the mag sorc don't really have that anymore it was frags until they was nerfed to death an the only unique thing we have are abilities that have to be on both bars an a skill when we cast it it says eat *** (rune cage).

So... the Magden buffs this patch will consist of a 3% heal buff to an ability useless to magdens and an orientation bug fix for our nerfed into oblivion spammable... well, I guess it’s a start... but hey, I guess we should just be greatful that we didn’t get another playstyle destroying nerf this patch

Magden still no stun besides permafrost, no execute and we still dont have our undodgeable birds back?? Thanks Wrobel. A 5 second major breach on a skill that takes 3 seconds to go off isn't worth taking a stun away.

what happend with making Rune cage doggeable? that was said on ESO live

Still planning on making this change, it just isn't in this patch.

So the ability will cost almost 4k magicka, is dodgeable and deals no damage? Sorcs will be again forced to farm vDSA to get a decent stun...

You don’t need masters staff to use DR... it will stun just the same as it would with the staff or without. The only thing masters staff does is make it your spammable and allow you to drop force pulse.

Who is running Reach without a master staff? Seriously?

Well everyone but sorcs pretty much who used destro.

Good luck if you think you can compete without a master staff and DR as stun. The sorc with the staff can just slot Ele Drain and roll over you. Ehehehe it will be better to not use a stun at all on sorc (if you don't have a vDSA staff) instead of slotting Rune Cage, that's how balance and build diversity looks like *head -> desk*.

Yea masters staff is super nasty; it’s kinda like competing with masters axe right now if you’re dw in pvp.

@GinaBruno Can we get a small clarification on the jewelry change?

It says 4 units of Chromium. Is this to mean 4 platings? Where the math would still mean needing 40 grains to make one piece of gold jewelry? Or are we talking about 4 grains=1 plating, and that's all that's needed?

Any response would be appreciated, and I'm sure everyone welcomes this reduction!

Your initial observation is correct. 4 platings which is 40 grains. It is HALF of what it used to be.

So no dmg and it's dodgeable. Makes it far worse then it was before when no one used it. I guess sorc is once again forced to master reach or gtfo. Nice!

There are still multiple OP item sets and abilities and a broken CC immunity system after 3 PTS incremental patches(break free doesn't work or there is a need to use it like 3/4 times until breaking free, prime example: rune cage, roots immunity doesn't always apply: Perfect example: Dark Talons. Oblivion damage is still OP, the list goes on.).
Overall, since proc sets were introduced the game's combat balance went downhill and there is still much way to go until reaching it's end.

I respect the game developers and ESO has huge potential but the current game's combat balance is just ridiculous and in need of an urgent fix.

I hate to have to be the one to break it to you, but CC break/CC immunity have been broken for close to three years now.

Along the subject of Rune Cage - I personally feel like any single skill in the game should either do damage OR cc. Not both. Especially since they can't get the CC break/immunity mechanics to function properly. So Rune Cage should be a cc skill, but not a skill that damages in any way. The same should be true of all cc skills - they should cc, but not damage. We already know that people are going to combo cc with damage skills; the cc skill itself shouldn't be doing damage.

I am unable to start the Murkmire quest line on a second character.

The note that you need to read is in the back pack of the first character I did the quest line with and it can't be banked or put in a storage chest. The note is no longer in the Crown Store for me. Concordia Mercius is not visible to the second character in any of the 3 cities where she starts off, although her horse and luggage are there.

Is there any fix for the resource issues, (having less of each than should have with food on),or is that a permanent thing? Because if so, that's kind of a bad thing to look forward to.

Jewelry Crafting
Significantly reduced the amount of Boosters needed to improve the quality of Jewelry.
At maximum rank of Plating Expertise, it now takes only a single piece of Terne to go from white to green, and it takes only 4 units of Chromium to go from purple to gold.

@ZOS_GinaBruno No changes to "Green to blue, and blue to purple"?

I was reading her statement as if it's implied that all improvements for jewelry crafting are roughly half of what they were before, but I could easily be wrong.

On the PTS, with maxxed plating expertise, it costs 1 green, 2 blue, 3 purple and 4 gold tempers to upgrade jewellery. I just made a ring and improved it to chromium as a test.

The dot from Sloads procs the proc from Velidreth all on its own. Is that intended?

Also, the Sloads missile does not obey line of site. It goes straight through trees, as shown in this test....
Character stands with a tree directly between a target dummy and himself

Throw caltrops so that it damages the target dummy. Sloads missile fires straight through the tree and hits the dummy...

I didn't manage to get a pic of the sloads projectile but the orange Dot damage number is from the Sloads. Note the Shrouded Daggers n his ability bar is greyed out because the target is not in LoS.

Oops. Scrub that. It was a moveable tree inside a player home. Further testing shows LoS does block Sloads proc when the object in the way is not a moveable tree.

Why not change runcage like this? Runcage is now dogable and prevents you from casting any type of shield for 6 seconds after casting the ability, even when doeged.

If kept undodgable/uncounterable I wouldn't mind seeing this trade off. Seems in line. Look you have the easiest cc to apply in the game. But you have to be vulnerable for a bit. Nothing wrong here. Make the vulnerability commencerable to the amount of time cc ed.
