It's mind boggling. A certain company with the name starting with 'B' basically removed a certain individual from a title because of user complaints about the game's atrocious decisions resulted from that person but here, for some reason, Wrobel can make atrocious decisions and yet still gets to keep the job. But anyways, Wrobel and Rob needs to stop injecting their personal preferences in making balance decisions tbh.Edited by IZZEFlameLash on October 2, 2018 12:06AMImperials, the one and true masters of all mortal races of Tamriel1 -
xselfish✭Now with the changes to swift, playing a medium armor Dk is gonna be a joke. Swift is literally the only way I am able to kite and 1vx without getting pooped on. 2H/Bow play style is basically dead for a Dk now. There won’t be anyone left after that change takes affect.Edited by xselfish on October 2, 2018 12:42AM0 -
zParallaxz✭✭✭✭✭That’s the thing dude Swift was over performing on several classes. The main bad pain points were stamden and stam sorc spin to win speed demons who can’t be targeted and if they were they could tank because they are in heavy.2

Veg✭✭✭✭✭Virtually no changes to DKs on PTS 3... Worrisome
I remember when I tried getting mDK's better pvp mechanics buy spamming the forums with bugged ability videos and slipping in raw number comparisons on average k/d ratios for different classes (mDK being bottom tier). You may as well be speaking your own language, they just don't understand.
Honestly I feel bad for you class reps sill trying to convince the devs to make the better changes. In the past 4 almost 5 years I've only ever seen 1 or 2 actually good changes for pvp purely because of feedback. The 99% of changes have basically had nothing to do with closing the ever growing gap between classes pvp kill potential.
I'm out of the loop at this point but I imagine stam builds are still flying around slapping bads for kills in 1-3 seconds. This will probably be ESO pvp until the game is done.

Well, actually... it's worse. Tried heavy stamden meta-ish tonight. The amount of near effortless damage, ample resources and tankiness -- even for a novice is not quite what I wanted purple gear -- is astonishing. Comparing it to melee magicka is disheartening.0 -

This is true. Same experience over here. Much less effort to play melee compared to magicka. Magicka DK resource management is a minigame of its own. Even faster staff heavy attack would be welcome at this point as sustain help.Edited by IZZEFlameLash on October 2, 2018 6:47AMImperials, the one and true masters of all mortal races of Tamriel1 -

Another question for the development team: if mDK is gonna get a cost increase in the Flame Lash proc, to make it similar to Frags and Will, shouldn't in turn get a cost reduction in all the skills, or a cost redution passive, or at least a (consistent) resource recovery passive?
Because the only thing I see are nerfs and 0 compensation.
We have no cost reduction, resource increase or a skill like Dark Exchange or Siph Strikes, so imho the cost increase is not entirely justified.
Considering wee need to invest res to make the proc work, it seems fair.Edited by Xvorg on October 2, 2018 7:01PMSarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

Kronuxx✭✭✭✭@Quantum_V Thank you for trying to help us DK's out. There's only so much you can do when talking to a crumbling decrepit brick wall.
Please ask them, why nothing to help improve what little stam dk's have? Why not at least improve noxious breath hit box mechanics? I mean, Gina did post that they were aware of it in a previous class rep notes. Why gives us poison cost reduction for 2 already cheap poison abilities?
I just don't understand. What are they trying to do? Why are they making these changes? Do they even care? Or do they only make changes to the most popular classes, to keep the majority player base preoccupied?
Honestly, I'm almost positive they are persistent liars. They lie so that they can make money. They lie so they can avoid responsibility. Constantly lying will only harm yourself and your conscience in the end.Edited by Kronuxx on October 2, 2018 9:48PM1 -

Yeah, I don't know man. I told that to them in meeting. No points in reducing the cost of cheap abilities and bow skill line abilities when that's not what stamDKs need. Sustain help should ideally come from ultimates again, as the class was intentionally designed to do.
I'll do my best to bring this to them once more, and hopefully they will listen.@Quantum_V

I bet their sustain change would entail "Battle Roar now returns 3% of the resources when ultimate is used" or some random crap that nobody thought they could find a new way to nerf DKs. I bet if we get cost reduction passive we will get like double the cost increase. I really am not holding out much hope anymore.OrphanHelgen wrote: »IZZEFlameLash wrote: »I'm out of the loop at this point but I imagine stam builds are still flying around slapping bads for kills in 1-3 seconds.

If ZOS is giving mDKs a cost increase in flame lash to bring us "on par" with Crystal Frags- are they going to give us a passive execute to bring us on par as well?Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

✭✭I remember when ZOS stated something about a massive class balance coming & here I hoped maybe some new skills for Stamina DK or passives that'll support us more but unfortunately that was early this year & as this year nears its ending Stam DK still lacks everything I laid out in the beginning of this year lol.
No good PvP Stam ability
No good pressure ability with multiple functions
passives still nerfed to cater to mag dk (even though it still sucks regardless)
no class AoE for Stam DK
no stam spam-able
The hiatus continues.不動の Steadfast - Unwavering

It is not just mDKs receiving this treatment tbf. All Mag classes are getting hit very hard. I have literally no idea how magsorcs are going to survive when targeted by a heavy armor class and Magblades just got every single one of their active PvP skills nerfed at once.
I'm guessing the Devs play heavy armor brawler classes?

✭So I got 2 thing I think shoul dbe adressed based on DKs passives form the erthern heart skillline.
Mountains blessing passive should also grant minor sorcery to the caster and all nearby allies.
Small buff, which make the passive a bit better.
Helping hands, let it restore resources based on your max resource, IDK if i get 1k stamina on my magdk in PVE, however 1k magicka would feel amazing.PC EU

I can read but I also have some perspective. Brawlers got a little diddy nerf but it pales in comparison to the nerfs to light armor mag classes so whilst you may find yourself a little weakened, if your competition is even weaker still thats a net-buff.
Having said all that the main winners here are probably medium armor stamblades.0 -

The winners are clearly HEAVY stamblades cause the insane mitigation they can get with major evasion and their kit being stronger vs medium users,but the nerf to expedition and roll dodge is huge for every other stamina class. Also I fail to see comparable nerfs to light armor (it even got buffed). Shielding change is a big thing if you play a shieldstacker sorc,other classes are don’t relie on shields bigger than 40% most of the time since they have access to healing
