Is anybody else having sustain issues since the newest update?
I did not find anything related to sustain in the patchnotes, but on a dummy parse, as well as in the trial yesterday my sustain felt worse than ever.
i recall something happening with the championpoints a few updates ago, maybe that happend again?

Whats your feedback? Is it only my and im making things up or did you notice something similar?
Playing magsorc on PC EU if it helps

    Yes. Sorc just has bad sustain. Only DK was worse.

    yes, my stam warden tank is somehow weaker after the update. stamina drains faster than usual(?). not to mention, I use invigorating trait on my eternal vigor sets.

    second this
    my magsorc even despite worst possible race (imperial) used to have such sustain i was unable to properly use bahsei on dummy and had to miss tons of synergies for it to work at least partially
    now? 2 rows of rotation - and i'm completely out of magicka for the rest of the parse
    i guess it has something to do with wall, because i've noticed while before it was eruption that went down first on my dk, now it's the wall and also rune (don't use it on sorc, but still)
    sustain on dk otherwise feel much much better, i think with some practice i'll even beat this 90k wall after all

    haven't done the parses on my other dds yet

    I did notice a hit to sustain on my (Redguard) mag sorc since the update. Resources drain much faster, which thanks to Endless Fury is no problem when fighting a bunch of enemies, but I ran out of magicka twice during a boss fight. Honestly don't remember the last time this happened. Sustain on my stam spec is atrocious but I don't know if there is any correlation to the update. Might just be me not being used to playing stamina.

    thy for the rune and wall input, will try it out this evening...
    i know that sorc sustain was not really nice to begin with, but since U32 it feels botched, this cant be right

    Breton pet magsorc. Can't say I noticed much difference in magicka sustain, but I wasn't really looking. I'll look closer later.

    What I did notice was that the aiming on lightning staff heavy attacks is clunky as hell. It was before but it seems to have got worse.

    Am having issues with my sustain also (bow/bow Warden Wood elf) Having to heavy attack a lot more now. Running out half way round 2 of my rotation. Any reasons why.

    My mag sorc is breton and always has been. Just came back after a 6 month hiatus. Guess my sorc will be staying breton if this is an issue now.

    "What's sustain?" The Vampire Community

    But for real I think it's actually easier to sustain as a DK this update. As long as you're using flame abilities to take advantage of the buff to Combustion and use your ultimates to take advantage of Battle Roar's buff to.

    They have been steadily nerfing sustain to crrap since the champion point update. CP 2.0 wrecked lower resource / high sustain builds, the heavy armour changes wrecked tank sustain and the changes since like nerfing the CP for extra sustain have just made it worse.

    Whilst it actually seems to be yet another break PvE in a futile attempt to make PvP work it's actually making the game require more skill or cleverer builds. You can stack a lot of sustain on jewellery and food, you can also wear sustaining sets and there are good group sustain sets that have become relevant again as has bothering to drop some of the buff circles on the templar or use ele drain.

    Also if your sustain seems to be ludicrous - especially stamina then check the numbers, remove all your gear etc and put it back and check the numbers again. They still haven't fully fixed either the 'look 'ma I've suddenely got zero stamina' nor the 'resource regen goes silly and you have to unequip stuff' bugs from U30 or so.

    I have noticed that my stamina is dropping off a lot faster. My magicka seems normal though.
