Disease status effect stealth nerf?

Diseased: Fixed an issue where this status effect was reporting that it applied Major Defile, when it actually applied Minor Defile.

Disease status effect has always applied major defile. So either this is a typo by a dev that doesn't know mechanic, or a nerf.

    @glavius Good catch!

    From the 3.1.6 PC/Mac Patch Notes (August, 2017 - the last time Diseased status was officially commented upon it seems)
    "Fixed an issue where the Diseased status effect was not applying Major Defile."

    You're certainly correct that it was described (not just in the tooltip) as providing MAJOR Defile. Let's hope someone officially comments on this. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler

    i read that as they are actually making it apply the major defile it was supposed to be, not the way you are reading it. and disease has not "always" been major, when the game first came out, it was minor. for a long time actually, like for at least 2 years.

    All proc status effects like that are minor. When testing, did you test the actual healing, or just what was stated on character sheet?

    i cant find any evidence that indicates that diseased was not major defile after the revamp to status effect after January 2017, when they changed concussed and chilled. but it did lower health regen by 50%, that was not named, as well before that.

    Actual healing. Was also back then I noticed bosmer and argonians were immune. The effect lasted 8 seconds before last revamp of status effects.

    Was Major Defile for long time and confirmed several times (there are literally eso live streams somewhere in 2017) by devs that its supposed to be this way.
    Cant test the effect of it ingame but it is being reported as Minor Defile by logging tools. If this was balance change (its possible) it would be fair to state "we changed" instead of "oh that thing that was major defile? it was just error"

    In the last ESO Live though @ZOS_Gilliam said it was minor defile. I even questioned it in the chat but it scrolled by in a millisecond of course.

    As a stamina main of five years that runs disease all the time it has always been major if its been changed then it was a sleight-of-hand that nobody knew about

    Long time ago it was major defile but then it was stealth changed into minor defile (just like all status effect are minor), however buff tracker saying that it major. They fixed this UI bug now.

    I'm 99% sure I tested the Diseased status effect like 4-5 months ago, and that it was applying major defile then.

    how did you test it? with just a debuff tracker or did you actually see the effect it was having on your targets healing?

    Can indeed confirm that on live it only procs minor defile. Not sure when they changed it.
    This thread also suggests that it was changed recently:

    "Fixed an issue" is the new "this is a buff if..". They did the same for ambush, shields, and a lot of other things. Or they simply don't know their game, which is more probable tbh.

    Lol the dev's dont know and the players dont know, who's got defile, where is the defile even at? Some wonder if the defile will ever be minorly as major as it has possibly been in the past!

    Not unrealistic at all since enchantments only have 20% chance to proc status effects every 4 seconds.Even if you use the Charged trait you'll have to sacrifice raw stats and only then you can have about 65-70% chance to proc every 4 seconds.

    Even then it doesnt work against bosmers and argonians

    Sadly Bosmer lost its Disease immunity racial on the previous racial update. Only Argonians have Disease status immunity anymore.

    Bosmer has Poisoned immunity, Argonian lost that.. Because who cares about the lore and years of tradition. :/

    Not ZOS.

    That's who.

    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.

    Slight necro but relevant question for @Ankael07 @glavius did you ever get to the bottom of this?

    Is Disease enchant status effect now only minor defile on live, and did they ever patch note this change?

    Damn. That's uncool. So 15%

    Do you know how long status effect is for, is it 3 seconds?

    Feels way less worth it and certainly not worth bothering with charged for :(

    Does it say Minor on the affected persons charctor screen is that what they pertained to fix?

    status effects are 4 seconds, except for poisoned, which is 6. do you have another source of the minor debuff?
