Why this dot meta is unhealthy for ESO

bloodstorms · August 2019

Forcing every class to use essentially the same generic skills in order to be competitive in both pve and pvp drastically chips away at class identity. Also, adding these dots while also adding no new counterplay for them in pvp (outside of the classic “just slot purge” argument) while ALSO reducing certain heals makes the current dot builds perform vastly better than other potential setups.

They need to revert the changes.

Honestly at first it sounded frustrating, but entropy has some nice utility and mages passives, and soul trap feels oddly loaded. Why nerf aoe’s and then make an exception with a move that is just as strong but still affects enemies regardless of where they go and at half the price? And Scalding rune?.... it’s really awkward to use honestly. It would round out builds well if it gave minor force so we had a choice between sustain and damage. But the time buff time to barbed trap is nice. I honestly feel like they were successful in adding more variety and filling some holes in abilities. Given that there are already counters to the dot style it is just as possible to adjust to them. It’s shifted over towards mag a bit which is nice because stam has been BIS for god knows how long.

This.

I used to use 5 Warden skills, now I’m down to 3. I don’t like having to feel less of a Warden. Everyone will be using the same generic Echoing Vigor to heal and Soul splitting trap.

ZoS destroyed racial identity.
And ZoS has destroyed class identity.
I think ZoS will eventually destroy all.

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!
