Magblade nerf again

I just like my magblade no-cp PvP healer build with big crit chance and crit damage and healing. But now they nerf Merciless Resolve and crit healing and it is hurt.

    From a damage perspective, 5% damage increase seems like a reasonable trade off for 10% crit damage given that yr benefiting from it on 100% of attacks vs 50% or less of attacks for the critical damage.

    The healing loss is significant though as the way the patch notes are written suggest there will be 0 bonus to it going forward.

    That being said, there very well could be factors that I'm not seeing here.

    the Minor force also only buff the damage part but not healing... Maybe you could find other ways to improve the healing

    I don't see why they wouldn't add 5% healing to the new version. Magblade could definitely use it in pvp, and it's not like self healing is super OP in pve anyway.

    I prefer aggressive play, so Merciless Resolve was perfect for me. This ability allowed you to have passive skills, increases both critical damage and healing, and also deals damage if necessary. For now, this ability will only be suitable for dealing damage, but not for hybrid play. The number of points does not really mean anything. Battlefield rules give a lot of points for critical healing, so it's not that hard.

    How did you not do 1 ounce of damage? Do you not light or heavy attack at all? Not 1 damage skill? Different, but okay.

    I think a dedicated healer is the best role for magblade in the BG right now. without the proc set magblade can not provide enough presure to kill anyone, but the siphoning skill line provide a lots of healing potentials

    To have similar indicators, you need to learn how to use Healthy Offering and Soul Siphon. These skills are enough to help your allies in difficult times. To have a high score, you need to collect as many critical healing medals as possible. The indicator should be more than 7.5 thousand, like. Then it's up to you how to achieve this either through spell power or through critical healing. I think that the Arkew build does not have such a protective or sustain kit, but is aimed at burst healing.

    Yes I assumed as much as well. I was hoping for a build write up as I don't play magblade

    I don't know the Arkew build, but I can share mine. Since this build is not really for a healer, then I usually gain from 7 to 10 thousand points. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=293721

    I played on the Battlegrounds yesterday with a player whose playstyle is similar to Arkew, most likely. He always kept behind somewhere behind a stone, wall, column or other obstacle. He used Blood Altar around him and spammed Healthy Offering and Soul Siphon, since these abilities do not have to see targets. Quite an interesting style of play. No one noticed him, since he did not do any damage at all and did not make attacks.
