I meant to ask, are you the "Ghost" of Datthaw, because you unsubscribed, but are still hanging around? I'm currently unsubscribed myself, btw.

I have necro body back out of my bank and I dropped bloodspawn for tk, and I dropped bro resto and went back to vma resto. As far as bars go I changed my back bar a good bit it's, dampen, rapid Regen, shadowy, rat, shade, soul siphon. I completely gave up on brp resto I've found with time if you're dotted up and cast it then cloak, most the time it's a tiny *** heal or is gone. The healing with passive heals, Regen, and swallow soul seem to keep my up fine. Front bar I'm running probably similar to alot, cripple, mercy, fear, swallow, ele drain, soul harvest.

27k when using Orzorga's Bear Haunch (I use this when i'm in a group because i need to be more brawly in group fights; also when farming IC)
21.5k when using Tri recovery drink which is a bit on the low end (I use this when solo-ing because I can afford to use my mobility more to disengage, also much cheaper). I dont feel bad eating a bear haunch while the drink buff is still up.

Uhm regardig the dampen + ward stack. Did I get it right that you cast dampen BEFORE ward to protect it? I always though shield stacking would work FILO, in that the last casted shield is the one getting consumed first.
I might've done it all wrong lol. Tried a build with absorb missile + ward and wondered how I got no healing

yep dampen first to get heal ticks from healing ward.

IMO shade range nerf was uncalled for and merely reflects the bean counter approach ZOS have recently adopted.
While shade is a cool skill, I never liked it, because the range already felt limited and because it is a toggle. Toggles are usability nightmares as soon as there is any hint of lag. Press the shade key once and nothing may happen. Press it twice and the lag is suddenly gone and you've already ported back to it and wasted it.

Look at it another way, all single target DoTs got the same treatment, every class got hurt by that, so across the board we're about equal in that regard. Lotus Fan however now puts minor vulnerability on every target hit, not just the initial target anymore. I have no problem saying that's a decent buff!
A good bump in front bar damage? Hahahahaha. You are SO wrong:My exact build is here:jimijac0me wrote: »Out of curiousity what health are you guys running on these builds?

Have you tried running DW on your front bar? You’ll miss ranged light attacks but see a good bump to your front bar damage skills. MH nirn, OH sharpened.
Looking again, why inner light on your back bar?
[
(1) Destro gives +8% single target damage. I believe that includes the procs.

(1) Destro gives +8% single target damage. I believe that includes the procs.
(2) Destro does elemental-based light attacks that scale with magicka and spell damage, spell crit and spell pen.
(3) Full Sharpened beats Nirn, more so, since my build is about the procs not my skill damage.
So unless you're telling me there is something about how "wrong-(stamina)-weapon" light attacks now scale, that I've missed, destro light attacks and destro staff synergy with the procs far outweighs any possible skill damage gains from DW in my build.
Inner Light is my flex-spot. I like it, because the slight magicka gain improves my shields and the crit improves my heals, e.g. Swallow Soul and Healing Ward. No room for it on the front bar and also the procs don't crit anyway. Between Inner Light and Willpower I have almost 4K more magicka on the back bar. However other skills in that spot include Retreating Maneuvers, Siege Shield and Deep Thoughts in no CP.
I like Swallow Soul for IC, but for Cyro you could arguably run Cripple + Entropy or Soul Trap on the back bar this patch. What I don't like about Entropy is that blue health projectile every 2 seconds, as it can give away your cloaked position. Again it comes down the procs being the "star-feature" of the build. I don't particularly care for Major Sorcery. Indeed, I have always found Immovability potions far more effective when the other choice was a Sorcery or Brutality potion, so I don't get it from potions either.
