Glad the multi crafting made this patch awesome for you. You must not do anything else in the game but farm mats judging by your statement.

I haven't found any problems with the patch yet, although as an active but not obsessive crafter I find the multi-crafting pretty "meh". Of the characters I've played so far, one or two feel better and none of them feel worse.

Most folks complaining about the patch are the same folks who complain whenever anything is changed that requires them to adapt. DoT builds are easier for newer players to learn and in turn, allow them to achieve great damage numbers. This translates into more players able to do more trials and more pugs clearing dungeons. This is a great change. Magicka is back in favor this patch and it is frankly overdue given the fact that stamina has dominated ESO for the last two years.

Time to dust off my Infallible Aether and set up my bars for a channeling HA DoT build. Every class benefits from this approach, especially Necromancers, Templars, and Dragonknights as they have specific tools/passives to improve upon it. This build translates well into PvP where single-target DoTs can be stacked on a target and then you channel on them (debuffing them by 8%) while they melt. Great stuff!

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to easier pug dungeon and trial clears for this patch!

it's not "unpopular"
its about 50% like it and 50% dont
half n half
i like it.
there is allways like that on all the patches, some like it some dont.

I dont care about the meta changing. What I care about is if it is more fun or less fun than the previous one. Im on console so I cant say for sure but it definitely appears less fun and seems like players are having less fun.

Well see on the 27th..... Not going to be surprised if I will be taking a good long break again considering how fun the last few updates have been. As this looks to be more of the same

I genuinely don’t get liking this patch.

I get that we all have different priorities.

But: I don’t enjoy Battlegrounds at all, but if ZOS made major changes that made battlegrounds more frustrating, that changed things about Battlegrounds that were fun and immersive into things clunky and unenjoyable, I’d be bothered by that. I’d consider it a bad change even though it didn’t affect me at all.

I don’t main Templar, but taking Major Mending away from their class skills was stupid. I don’t main Nightblade, but taking the stun from Teleport Strike seems dumb to me.

Going off that, I would expect the Power Surge change, in and of itself, would be enough to draw most everyone’s deserved ire for this patch.

Maybe I just expect too much of people.

Good for you

At least someone is

I mean the new combat team screwed the pooch balance wise for PvP, but goodness gracious the new dungeons are well designed! I love mechanics heavy dungeons that are just, well, fun!

Just skip this one. See below.

hmm, with the change in single target dot's I may have to break out my old Sheer Venom, Vicecannon stamblade again (PVP). It'll give me something else to play when I retire my werewolf builds this update.

I have never been the "meta" type player. I watch my DPS numbers, find a rotation I like, muddle thru changes in combat, and adjust.
I have done this since closed beta. PC early launch and 9k in game hrs played. But these changes have me realizing I have to redo my build. Good or Bad... Good balance or crap.... I just know my set up is no longer viable and have to change things and as a layman to percentages and numbers, I don't like this patch.

BUT!!! The guild changes in this patch suck. Multi bidding had multiple pages of PTS feedback that was ignored. Guild History PTS feedback that was ignored. Multi crafting bugs ignored.
If you are a GM, NO this was not a good patch...
My 2 drakes..... Huzzah!
