The buffs to Templar and Warden eclipse the drawbacks of Sorc nerfs, especially since there is no cast time. The delay on frags is miniscule but probably enough to matter for pvp. Can't really judge NB and DK because I don't play a lot on those. I do think that the stun remove on whip was good though because I hated giving people cc immunity on accident.

Any heavy armor recommendations for magicka sorcerers?

I voted NAY because last night I logged in to get my Dremora Plunder Skull from a World Boss I like to solo. I got to him, engaged, and for the first time EVER got 1 shot seconds after engaging.

Shocked, I revived, reengaged, fought much more defensively in "Scared mode" and got my skull.

But that shook me. I'm so weak.

I feel like I am a standard, casual player, (CP 360) and my main character is a stamina dragonknight and I have to say that I don't feel as though much has changed in combat both PVE and PVP. I have the same survivability and it seems as though everyone else does too so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, if everyone gets nerfed then no one is nerfed right?

It's a clear and overwhelming Nay for where they are in terms of longitivtiy of the game and where it could be. We should be thinking, what should change look like in a game four years down the line. Four years in production and you still need to make huge sweeping changes?

ESO has been released since 2014. Any new MMO is going to have major balance issues, bugs, mechanics ect. It's understandable to make huge adjustments as it moves from limited testers to tens of thousands giving the game a try. However, ESO is in it's fourth year. There shouldn't be any major nerfs or buffs at this point, instead small changes and "general" balance. Really just tweaks and adjustments. If ZOS was constructing a house, they would be almost done and then say, lets change the first floor lay out.

Any widespread change at this point is because the combat team does not understand how their choices impact the game. They don't know their own product. Take this patch, did warden really need boosts to sustain? It is already the easiest class to maintain sustain. Magdk needed a nerf with chains because major expedition was OP on that skill line? You know Magdk, they have been known for breaking the servers with their lightning like speed.

What is lost from their failure is quality combat systems, player choice and the ability to expand. If classes and weapons were decently balanced (not perfect) then CP could be revisited to address powercreep and even more choice. By the way, here's more cp! In turn, the team could look at past armor sets and create more viability. They could add weapon lines that have been in past ES games, classes and skill lines along with plus minus system which existed in early games. Yet, there isn't excitement within the community which is pathetic. Elder Scrolls fans, don't want to see past ES weapons, classes, skills and systems from Elder Scrolls games because they don't feel the combat team can make logical choices with what is on the table. " You can't even work with what you got, don't even think of adding more."

Eso has incredible staff of lore writers, graphic teams, they do live video events, creative dungeons and do try to communicate with the player base. There is one department that is not at the same standard and failing hard.

1. Speed nerf is terrible, I move like a snail and it makes solo play pointless.

2. They made dizzy swing pretty much impossible to land for some reason so not only do I move slow I also can't attack anything.

3. Balance is still terrible, and still laggy and filled with bugs. And now they make enchants op, and the meta builds are affected by it more than anything.

The patch is 10x worse than I thought it would be.

Sorcs are healers at this point. I already gave up few patches ago.

1. Evasion change
2. Resource Poison nerf
3. Damage Shield nerf

1. Half of classes are boring AF now in pvp, some are not working at all.

I preferred my Demigod Sorc, just feel like any other mortal now
