UPDATE: As of incremental patch 4.1.9 (PC/NA), all five broken weapons are working again, based on my own testing.
______________________

Today's incremental patch severely broke numerous Arena weapons (ability-altering weps from vMA, vDSA, etc). All affected weapons have absolutely zero functionality right now.

Here's a list of the ones that have been tested, with help from @code65536, @Zeromaz, and @Ladislao.

Update: The list in now exhaustive—all weapons have been tested and accounted-for.

BROKEN:
  1. Asylum's destruction staff
  2. Maelstrom's restoration staff
  3. Master's 2H
  4. Master's bow
  5. Master's dual-wield

Working as intended:
  • Asylum's 2H
  • Asylum's bow
  • Asylum's dual-wield
  • Asylum's restoration staff
  • Asylum's S&B
  • Maelstrom's 2H
  • Maelstrom's bow
  • Maelstrom's dual-wield
  • Maelstrom's destruction staff
  • Maelstrom's S&B
  • Master's destruction staff
  • Master's restoration staff
  • Master's S&B

I have already posted these results on the bug report subforum (link to thread).

    So unfortunate, every patch just adds more bugs to the list. Great job Zos, keep stacking them up. (sarcasm)

    They just spin a wheel to decide what to somehow break.

    I understand you are being facetious but that in fact is what it feels like at times. I mean i know this is not being on focus with this tread but issues like the hdr messing up on console, all they had to do was start up eso on a 4k hdr device and upon entering character selection they would have noticed something was off, right?

    All this does is reinforce the opinion that they do not have proper quality control for their game, it must be an (quality control) oxymoron for them or something, at this point you just cannot help but chuckle. It is hard for me to wrap my head around.

    The unique set bonus that they provide (which alters a specific ability from the corresponding skill line.

    Said effect is complete non-existent right now.

    If anyone is wondering how they broke these:

    They're likely adding 1pc bonuses back to all the old arena weapons come Murkmire (or updating their effects)
    This means they need to go back and tweak those bonuses on their Dev build, which may have happened to have ties with the most recent build.
    Somehow some tweaks went through half-finished and accidentally got pushed with the most recent Live build.
    This then broke those weapons.

    Least that's what I assume happened.

    Well, One can only hope.
    The truth is that it may simply been an innocent coding mistake on their part.

    It appears Balorgh is broken too. My weapon damage and actual damage done isn't changing post ult. It's exactly the same.

    This may seem like a bad thing, but perhaps it's actually a very good thing. They may have been making background edits so they could put back the 1pc bonuses when Murkmire releases :)

    Well a coding team not made out glue huffing apes probably wouldn't have needed to break them in order to restore those bonuses in a patch months from now.

    Try the next few months fam, you guys gotta wait 2 months for fixes that broke due to a incremental patch sorry about that. They dont have the money to fix it right away so my eso plus apparently went to *** all so i stopped paying.
