Resource Management

This is a genuine question for ZOS.
You guys changed it so that heavy attacks no longer restore both stamina and magicka.
As a tank I rely on both heavily. I need mag for chains and survival abilities and stamina for blocking and taunting.
Then I noticed you guys were making changes to allow more hybrid builds.
I also noticed the cp skills for when enemies die to restore each. But these only trigger if you got the killing blow. As I tank I often don't.
And not every boss fight has mobs.
Where do you guys (ZOS) expect people to get the third resource from for builds that use all 3?

✭✭✭✭✭Well they reworked Prismatic Onslaught enchant to go from doing damage to Deadra/Undead to a Tri-Restore health, magicka, and stamina next major update. I use Bloodthorn set on my pseudo tanks which restores both magicka and stamina on direct damage attacks.1 -

✭Both my tanks are Argonian so....
I know the passive is not as strong as it used to be, but strong enough that if I'm smart about how I play, I never have RSS issues on either of my tanks.0 -

✭✭✭Just a blind suggestion, but wait to use chains until you have found your spot to pull things. Aside for ranged adds, most respond to a soft taunt and you don't have to chain them. You can also use Pierce Armor for a stamina-based taunt, something you should be using anyway0 -

heavy attacks always restore only one resource.
Before the cp rework. There was a cp ability that had written on it something along the lines of restores 15% extra magicking and stamina for heavy attacks. Before the rework heavies have always restored both.
Using the exact same character skills armour and everything. (I haven't changed a single thing on my end) I suddenly can't sustain in single enemy fights.El_Borracho wrote: »Just a blind suggestion, but wait to use chains until you have found your spot to pull things.

As I said in the original post I use stamina for taunts. Pierce Armor is my bread and butter. Chains is for grouping to stack enemies. I even run the version that refunds magicka if it fails to pull the enemy.0 -

Heavy attacks have never restored both resources in my 5 and a half years playing the game. The CP would have restored more of one or the other, not both, depending on weapon type.5 -

✭✭✭✭✭Is this post a necro from Alpha? Since when did they return both resources?4 -

✭✭✭✭✭Only way I can see them restoring both values is an absorption glyph restoring the other resource. Never has a heavy attack restored both resources but we have ways to boost the resources restored.PC NA - Ceyanna Ashton - Breton Vampire MagDK2 -
