Is damage in BGs increased for anyone else?

Holycannoli · February 2019

I'm getting hit by light attacks for 1.8k damage. I'm going from full HP to dead instantly. Seriously, I get hit all at once by multiple skills in incredibly rapid succession that all did a crazy amount of damage compared to before the patch. The damage is coming in so fast and so hard I don't even have time to react.

I wanted to blame it on macro users (and I still suspect some of the instances are. No human can fire off that many skills at that speed without a macro) but the damage is also off the charts.

I'm not a tank on the character this has been happening to. I just know I used to take oh 500-600 damage per light attack, with more from skills, and now I'm taking so much I can't even look at an enemy with falling over dead.

It’s not macro users thanks to the GCD. I’ve noticed more dmg too, seems like resists aren’t applying properly tbh.

Would be good if @ZOS_GinaBruno could share some insights here maybe.

I mean they messed up siege damage, maybe there is a bigger problem in PvP than just that?

Yes. I noticed more incoming damage.

I also feel like damage has increased but can't prove how. Maybe it's the racials...

If I ever went into BG's maybe I could answer..

Feels increased as well got hit by a 12k executioner in full heavy + hurricane

I haven't noticed anything different. Keep in mind you might be getting hit by a dk with corrosive armor up.

I’m assuming you’re running a tank buil because 1.8 isn’t that bad. I definitely hit people regularly harder than that. But I’ve seen people saying they’ve been taking more damage since the patch.

I’ve noticed the same thing, not sure why.

No this wasn't on my tank build and I've never been hit by a light attack for that much. It's usually half that.

People are melting in BGs. Blink and either you or someone else is dead.

I'm wondering if Impen or crit resist in general got a stealth nerf.

MurderMostFoul · February 2019

Maybe the Shadow Mundus buff this patch is bugged?

Iskiab · February 2019

I think race against time is becoming more popular, that’s my hunch.

Racial changes have made damage go up. I freaking love it now. I often don't say this but good job ZOS! Folks die now if they make mistakes no longer crutching on armor.

my thoughts:

1. all sorcs are now hitting harder due to change on implosion. yes you aren't getting RNG bursted at very low life, but you likely are dieing then anyways from other executes. But now - all other damage has been buffed with amplitude
2. bleeds took a nerf - as a result, people swapped out of axes into mauls/swords. an increase in direct damage. remember all that Q'Qing about bleeds? here is the consequence. nerf bleeds and people flock to more direct damage.
3. racial changes have increased damage.
4. YcKId just posted about changes on vulnerability math that has also increased dmg.

MaxJrFTW · March 2019

Feels that way to me. Tried playing med armor/stamina the other day and was getting deleted instantly. Even in my tanky mag set up i'm dying a lot faster.

This is good logical reasoning.
