change to orbs is unnecessary

chris211 · July 2019

why the change to orbs this makes the skill essentially useless in pvp and pve (you can only have 1 orb active at a time) a really dumb change

Necrotic Orb:
Reduced the base cost of this ability and its morphs to 3780 from 4590.
Reduced the damage per tick of this ability and the Mystic Orb morph by approximately 13%, but it can now deal damage every half second instead of every second.
You can only have 1 orb active at a time.
Decreased the speed to 2 meters per second from 3 meters per second to help it deal damage or heal targets more reliably as the orb passes them.
Healing Orbs (morph): Reduced the healing per tick of this ability by approximately 13%, and fixed an issue where allies affected by the Heal from this ability were unable to take damage from Necrotic or Mystic Orbs from some players.

Orbs are a joy for healers to cast and watches it flow and got synergised, easy heal and wonderful.
I guess ZOS want to reduce the lag cos it constantly calculates the half a sec tick on everyone?
Or it’s a nuisance and blocked people’s view in dungeons and trials?
I’m not sure why the nerf tbh, must be the lag ZOS tryna solve 😂
