    Current iteration is not good enough imo. It's obviously not useful in group content since the buffs are mostly redundant. I guess it could be somewhat useful in pug dungeon groups.

    Some of the buffs are simply not that important in solo PvE. Major resolve for example, I've never needed it even for no death runs of veteran solo arenas. Damage shields were way more useful, perhaps ZoS could add an auto recharging damage shield instead? That's be more fun.

    Major Fortitude I've never needed outside of PvP and some PvE tank builds. Major intellect and Major Endurance, I don't think having both are important even in hybrid builds (especially one bar builds). You'd use one resource more than the other, not both equally. Even simple potions will provide one of these 2 buffs.

    If they are going with only Major and minor buffs then there should be more of those in this ring. They should add things like Major Brutality and Sorcery, Minor Berserk and perhaps Minor Courage as well.

    Don't see much place for it, overland well it replaces wild hunt :wink: You do not want to loose wild hunt.
    And you loose you back bar, for stamina its your bow.
    Is it better than pale order for one bar solo builds? doubtful, perhaps on magplar as they has healing from spamable, fought world bosses I could not stop sweep to buff because I needed the healing.
    Might work on WW.

    I don't theory craft in ESO, Kerbal space program is way more intuitive here and a game I added some tidbits.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    No, but to be clear, it has nothing to do with nerfs. I simply would never gimp myself by only using one bar. I love ESO combat, and bar swapping is an integral part of that.

    I suspect that you are part of the targeted demographic for this mythic. People who like ESOs combat wouldnt like it. Its a bit of a downgrade in terms of the tempo of combat. It seems like its made for niche builds and people who do not enjoy, or possibly cant enjoy, the more fluid combat.

    Its okay if it isnt for everyone. Not everything needs to be. I hope that you enjoy it if you choose to use it.

    @Agenericname - I'm hoping it may help me some anyway. The type of combat in this game isn't my preferred style at all (not even when I was much younger - I mean, I hate to say this.... but what I really love is turn-based like the "old time" games) and it's just really hard for me - yes, even overland....

    Thanks!

    Yes, my main is Sorc, so I will not lose so much bar space and I get several buffs. This can help Sorcs to climb back, where they fall from with last updates.

    I'd settle for a switch to be added to it:

    If <user> has completed any trial then use iteration B...
    Else use iteration A.

    I will most likely (never) do a trial, but I would still like it to be able to help me if and when I decide to try any vet content or arena. I'd settle for being able to enter Craglorn to harvest without dying every time I enter a group area.

    As it sits now I can just use potions before and during battle for the 75% of the same effects.

    Nah, this is a terrible choice. This would be like if they forced overland to vet difficulty just because you'd completed a vet trial. I want to do easy stuff too, I don't want stuff to be hard 24x7 just because I also do hard stuff.

    And if I was interested in this mythic I'd want the option to be able to use it even if I'd done a trial. Hell, I said no, but if it comes up with leads just in doing content, I'm not going to say I wouldn't give it a go, even just for tooling around overland. I do endgame content, but sometimes I also can't be bothered barswapping when I'm out doing my own thing.

    (before I even say anything, yes it needs buffed, and it needs buffed BAD) the leads found so far in are pretty accessible content. One was in one of those volcanic vents and idr the others found.

    No one is saying they have wanted it to remain as it was and be OP BiS. That's a poor way of trying to invalidate valid issues. This thing is largely useless for group play, when you'll likely get most of these buffs from others, and in solo play the big ones you can get from potions.

    Pretty sure we all realized it was going to get nerfed, just not how. The question is why ZOS even released it with the values it had originally. Instead of simply scaling back the values of the unique buffs so they weren't so OP when stacked with Major/Minor buffs, they went the lazy way and just made it give a handful of perma Major buffs. As others have said, for most people that's simply not worth giving up 5 skills and another Ult for.
