Massive Sustain Issues on PTS.

Elric_Ashborn · July 2019

Anybody else having trouble re-learning rotations from scratch?? I can't seem to get one rotation without running the bar dry... Stamina Templar or Stamina Dragonknight. This is especially bad with effects that only last 6 seconds.

No worries, the devs know what they do, since they don't play the game.

Don't worry, by the time we can learn a new, more clunky rotation, they will have changed everything for no apparent reason.

GlassHalfFull · July 2019

No worries, there will be another PTS update patch, to change the 1 crown cost items to a higher cost.

Wait for someone else to spend on countless hours to perfekt the rotaion and eventually post Video. Watch the video and be done. And by the time you master the new rotation, be ready to wait for the new video.

No.

Replacing expensive caltrops with free Soul Trap was bigger sustain boost than anything since Morrowind

If you are using a template, did you forget to set cp, medicinal use passive etc.?

There are some bugs that shine more on pts where sometimes it will take the resources for an ability twice. I've seen it before previously on pts/live but there seems to be no particular way of triggering it, possibly from slight desync with the server.

go stam regen or stam cost of skills glyphs!

I’ve got your back! *throws a single, lazily drifting orb your way*

Do what everyone else does and add heavy attacks to your rotation. For solo play that is.

cost reduction becoming multiplicative is likely the cause for some of this. high stack of cost reduction results in less sustain now.

Don't worry alcast will have a build up and running when the patch hits.

So the forum can copy and paste it and stop pretending like they don't anything progressive in pve and are just stragglers copy and pasting builds/ strats.

Effects that last 6 seconds? Don't tell me you are using Expert Hunter.

Quite the opposite.

Soul Trap replacing Caltrops is a big sustain boost on all stam builds and Degeneration is a big sustain boost on all magicka builds.

Gotta love the first 5 useless comments, it would help to know the build your using? Sustain has been better for me and from my mathematical standpoint the % multiplier changes didn't result in a huge difference.

With the +1% changes for sorc/templar it evened out slightly.

It would affect you if you were using for example: Breton + Sorc + False God's Devotion + 5/1/1 LA.

Even worse: Redguard + Sorc + Vicious Ophidian + 7 Med + 15% on all stam skills. I think it was a loss of around 4-6% cost when I tried to calculate it awhile back.

On another note.. They should really change RG, 8% on just weapons is so weak in comparison to just using Orc + Regen food. Extremely disappointing still.

Infused jewelry with recovery glyph. I know, but it's the best I got.

^this

Depending on how much other sources of cost reduction builds have they can see 100 to 150 cost increase per skill.

5 med in vicious ophidian redguard
5 light templar false god

Some sets and passives got adjusted to this and others didn´t.

Skills that got passives with cost reduction (mage guild or psijic) will see massive cost increases. 250 for elemental weapon on sorc false god breton for example...
