Last night I ventured into Cyrodiil and Imperial City for the first time in a long time. Last time I was there i was around 300cp, now I'm 780, with Vet trials and around 30 vMA runs under my belt. Imperial City should be cake...right??
Man it was so hard for things to die. I went into the arena and it was harder than the last time i was there. I felt like i was hitting enemies with a plastic spoon. My numbers and sustain were terrible.
Looking at my stats, my spell crit had dropped from 50% to 22%, my max magicka had dropped by about 6k although my health had increased by about 2k, and i had hardly any magicka recovery. No gear had changed though, so that wasn't the issue. I quickly just legged it into White Gold Tower and everything was back to normal... then left WGT and was ported back to Deshaan, so did not return to IC.
I have no idea why my stats were so badly affected. The only thing i can think of is the effects of a boon from having all areas of IC under my faction's control were affecting my usual stats, but obviously not in a good way. Other than that, a glitch??
Hoping to go back to IC, but just wondering if anyone has theories or more understanding of the above situation.
