Mag Necro Blastbones.

✭✭✭✭
Don't know if this has been mentioned in another post. But the mag version of blastbone's needs a fix. This stat, The skeleton deals more damage the longer it chases the target. Needs to be changed to something like distance traveled as it no longer chases target.

merevie✭✭✭✭✭They know. A number of key people made videos. It's either being ignored or saved as pacifying candy fix for the last moment before PTS is releases, to cover for other things are not being fixed. (Shameless public awareness moment for poor, helpless, nerfed stamblade...)Edited by merevie on February 14, 2020 9:00AM6 -
propertyOfUndefined✭✭✭✭✭It's been mentioned a number of times - by myself and others... Sadly, no news of a fix yet

Magna_Chronos✭✭✭They need to fix this before releasing this Update on Live! Please @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom ! Don't release this with Blastbones broken! </32 -
Elusiin✭✭✭✭✭Ugh I'm wanting to come back to ESO just for the necromancer changes alone, also hype for the Vampire revamp in May, but like Magcro is what I main. Please do not let this go unchanged ZOS...1 -

I think you’ll still enjoy it, the skill is very reliable now that it is YeetBones but I do hope they address this for the live patch.

Greek_Hellspawn✭✭✭✭Make it affect the targets hit with minor mangle, i think only pulsar has this debuff it would be nice to see more abilities have access to this. It would help pve for trash pulls and it would be useful in pvp too.5 -
NTclaymore✭✭✭✭Major mangle would be better since the stamina blastbone apply major defile.He spoke, the son of Padomay, and nodded his head with the dark brows

nice ideia2 -
The Uninvited✭✭✭✭✭
✭To give mangle to it would actually be a very good idea, be it either minor or major. Major would fit better, to match the stamina morph indeed.Pandora's Promise (rip) | LND | Pactriotic | IKnowWhatUDidLastWinter's | The Uninvited |

BohnT2✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Major defile on the stamina morph is completely overtuned and will shape the next pvp meta around it.
It is not the skill to take into reference when balancing the magicka counterpart.
Shalks/deep fissure on the other hand are almost the same skill.
-bit more damage than blastbones (only due to wardens other passives)
-bit bigger AoE 113m² vs 140m²
- more expensive
- both working with many passives of the class
They only feature major fracture/breach which isn't anywhere close to the power level of major defile and is a much more appropriate debuff/ buff when you want to buff other aspects of the class too without making them overperforming, which already failed for stamnecro next patch due to major defile being too powerful.
The idea of handing out minor/major mangle is good as it brings HP values down so less damage is needed in order to burst someone however it's a bit of a band-aid fix and those are what brought us into the current pvp meta.3 -
propertyOfUndefined✭✭✭✭✭I would personally like to see "off balance". This would at least give magicka necromancer a chance to CC via heavy attack. I know off balance is being reworked, but it would still be better than Bone Totem, which only fits a certain play style, and in most cases is never the CC you need when you need one -- either on offense or defense.Edited by propertyOfUndefined on February 17, 2020 1:19PM0

katorga✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I favor up to 50% more damage based on distance travelled. I like the idea of having Really Big Burst compared to the stamina version's burst + debuff.
Everything does off balance now, and the result was off balance getting nerfed.
Necro really needs a CC, and to get one totem should should be changed to fear on cast and every 2 seconds after. The entire concept of "delayed CC" on totem and now Vampire drain makes no sense. CC should always be reactive and instant.Edited by katorga on February 17, 2020 3:42PM3 -
Greek_Hellspawn✭✭✭✭Thanks for supporting my idea guys! 😁 I said minor because major might be pretty op but on the other hand major defile is pretty op too so...Also i agree that magcro needs a reliable stun, make the agony totem morph instant it makes more sense since you cast the fear melee while the other morph is ranged0

I wouldn't like that idea very much..Of course off balance is good for regen. The problem is lightning staff heavy is the slowest and most bugged thing in the game.
You would need to use Flame staff heavy or Ice to CC with off balance somewhat effectively.
At this point you might as well just slot Flame Clench for the CC...
Another case of they never should have removed the stun from Shock Clench limiting build diversity even more.
I really like this idea of Major/Minor Mangle for Stalking Blastbones tho.

Yamenstein✭✭✭✭Will this ever get looked into or is ZOS still happy with the Magicka morph of BB bringing nothing to the table.
You literally changed how the skill worked but left this specific morph alone. I might as well save the skill point and not morph it.
It either jumps straight away, as long as it spawns as expected, or runs around to fizzle out.
Dont see it doing much for PvE 🤔Edited by Yamenstein on June 6, 2020 4:06PM2 -

✭Major mangle at 15% would be great. Not OP and be balance for PvE and PvPWuuffyy,

Atherakhia✭✭✭✭This has got to be the lowest of low hanging fruit to fix.
Mag Necro is undeniably the absolute worst class in PvP so they could literally do anything to this skill and not worry about throwing PvP balance out of whack.1 -
Icaruzs✭✭✭Make it deals more damage if the target is low
Magcro doesnt have an execute hability, while stamcro have DW and TH execute skill+the death knell passive.
All classes have an execute except mag necro and mag dk and mag warden1 -
Koubo✭✭✭Make it deals more damage if the target is low
Magcro doesnt have an execute hability, while stamcro have DW and TH execute skill+the death knell passive.
All classes have an execute except mag necro and mag dk and mag warden
and StamPlar (WhirlWind is an AoE, which mean it's damage isn't enough to be worse to use and lose BL).
Actually, MagCro have a passive that turn all skill in crit while in execute phase which is better than nothing.0 -

Actually, MagCro have a passive that turn all skill in crit while in execute phase which is better than nothing.
The point he was making is that while not every class has an execute, stamina classes can at least fall back on the weapon sets to use for an execute. Mag does not have an execute on Destruction staves to choose and Mag have no other weapon option to choose from. It's just Destruction staves with horrible passives and half the skills of no use unless you have the corresponding monster weapon to make them not total garbage but still mostly garbage and just stat passives.
I hope the destruction staff changes they are making are much larger in scale and scope than a trivial change to destructive reach and frost staff. There's so much more needing improved for mag in this game.1 -
Atherakhia✭✭✭✭So here we are again... another PTS and still no Stalking Blastbone changes. Another patch cycle where Mag Necromancers are worthless in PvP. But you found time to nerf them as only 10% damage on major vuln. ::slow clap::1
-
NinchiTV✭✭✭✭✭YO can this please be the update where mag blastbones has a secondary effect instead of a useless walking does me dmg even though it doesnt walk anymore just leaps (which i like) but really its lackluster compared to the other mag burst skills. And the skel mage should do more too, the only reason to use it is for the corpse it leaves, other than that its useless.1 -
Wuerstal✭✭✭Just writing this comment so the thread will be at the front page again and not silently forgotten. It astonishes me that they make changes to skills and don't think through if a bonus the skill has even is relevant after the change... Pls zos. Just give it something. be it higher dmg for distance traveled or a debuff or anything usefull. It can't be that hard. You can still squeeze this into this patch!Edited by Wuerstal on September 22, 2020 2:03PM1 -
Jarrods32✭✭✭Is there away to tag the dev's so they will actually see this feed
Cause it's been awhile and literally acting like they forgot about stalking blastbones0 -
setayco✭✭✭Made two consecutive posts about this last pts cycle. Both times i have gotten little feedback. Its really disappointing, the 10% damage increase on a debuff that can be purged before you are able to burst is really lackluster honestly, this patch is a little hard to grasp
