    Just asking..... like I said I don’t have SB live and am just wondering what is going on for you guys on PC....and how it will work for console

    Alliance war purge cost just recently got increased again. It removes 40% less effects than the templar purge for 25% more cost and no additional benefits.

    It´s terrible from a single player perspective.

    when it happens to work, ofc, given the capricious rng of skills actually firing which seems to be quite a prominent feature in-game, these days. :/

    some (templar, necromancer) having amazing purges and suffer not.
    some (nightblade) simply suppress, and laugh in the dark.

    and others (sorc, dk, warden) simply die at its hands.

    AKA, brutal damage that destroys some classes while leaving others completely unaffected is not cool.

    Warden has a purge that has zero resource cost, grants resources, and provides a damage buff. They are not suffering.
    That said...

    Sorcerer, Dragonknight, and Warden have been at the top for quite some time so it's only fair they get nerfed for a year. Come back in 2020 and ZoS will nerf DoTs and rebuff direct damage skills instead, lol. Just adapt and stop crying - you'll be fine. Frankly, I'm happy to see purge effects gaining more importance in this patch.

    Wow. You don't sound spiteful or bitter at all. It's a video game, and you have a grudge against certain classes, how goofy is that.

    Lol the warden purge is absolute garbage, the fact that you even mention it is laughable. Only the Magicka one 'purges". Yeah let's have a warden spam blue betty that takes 1 status effect off you a second, while you get laced up with several. Go ahead and see how well it will go for you.

    Why do people on this forum like seeing classes get decimated? Are you that upset that some DK, Sorc or Warden thrashed you? How is it acceptable that multiple classes have no answer to dots like that, and no real means to defend themselves? Don't even say purge, that isn't viable for most builds especially stamina.

    Before you go 'hurdur ur xyz class' I main a templar. And all that's going to happen is Templar is going to be nerfed again. You assume ZOS will do the logical thing and tone down dots. I can see them gutting purge mechanics instead.

    Hello everyone,

    With the mass of dots showing up on the forum recap, we're going to start closing down a mass of these threads. We'll leave this current discussion open on the topic so feel free to discuss the topic there.

    Thank you for understanding!
