Power Surge
With all the changes of making skills more unique to stamina and magicka. Can you please update Power Surge's Major Brutality buff to something else?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Why ESO needs a monthly subscription
When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle
Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter
... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws2 -

Please don’t put threads up asking for nerfs if you are not going to give a reason/evidence for the requested nerf/change
Thank youEdited by macsmooth on May 22, 2019 11:24AM2 -
Power Surge contains both Major Brutality and Major Sorcery. Am I wrong in saying having both is a waste? Would this be helpful at all to Magicka Sorcs?
The other morph also has Major Brutality but with higher healing. Please explain to me why having Major Brutality with Major Sorcery is ideal, unless weaving dual wield.0 -

Pelinals builds will benefit from Crit surge. Major Brutality overwrites Major Sorcery when using Pelinals.1 -
If it's taken away and nothing replaces it, pretty sure it would only be slightly better than the base ability. All I'm asking is something different like minor magicka steal. I never implied removing major Brutality AND not replacing it. Update it.
For hybrid builds...I don't know what to say except look at all the other classes and use a hybrid armor set. Idk though. I really shouldn't comment, since I don't have a hybrid. Apologies.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Actually, OP, that's a great idea. Nobody using Power Surge needs Major Brutality. Don't listen to these loony hybrid guys, they're like the hare krishnas handing out pamphlets at the airport. They're just babbling nonsense!

mmm minor magicka steal would be tasty when solo or when elemental drain isn't being used by the healer. I would love that change.

- PvE Healing/Damage: The Thief for decent crit rate.

https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif- Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
- Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).
