I actually just dropped in to see if this had turned into a Nerf Sorc thread yet, and it did not disappoint. I know you are curious, but you wont get answers that make any sense, I promise. Likely something about how streak and cloak can one shot you. Its nonsense.
DK is pretty darn OP at the moment, hard to deny it. I hate calling for nerfs to probably my favorite class, but its easy mode in both PVP and PVE right now.
Yea I asked because I don't see Sorcs or NB as needing nerfs based on live.
Nerfs to Streak and Cloak are simply not merited.
Streak is the Sorc's class-defining ability. It's not broken. It's just an excellent tool.
Cloak is definitely not broken. There are plenty of counters to stealth that any build can slot. Anyone who thinks it's broken should play a NB at CP160. It is by far the highest-finesse class, which is why the majority of people are underwhelming with it and the most-skilled can do amazing things with it.
Yes, NBs can gank. But those gank builds over struggle mightily in any kind of protracted brawling or larger fights.
I see it the same way. As much as I hate cloak, especially when paired with half a brain and teleport shade and as annoying as Streak can be even for me sometimes, I don't think they can be nerfed further. We don't need to water down class identity more. Only gank sets need to be looked at so that the gank meta becomes less fierce.
I think the game's balance is the best it has been in years apart from proc sets and some over/underperforming classes.Auri-El is my lord,

✭✭Combustion atm is overperforming in both PvE and PvP but the fault for that is mainly on the side of overbuffed charged trait. Instead of tuning down or tweaking that trait they decided to overnerf unique DK passive.
I'm not a fan of the way DK was nerfed, but if a trait (like charged) is only overperforming on one class (like DK), that indicates a problem with the class, not the trait.5 -

People who are bad at maths should not badmouth other players. The internal timer got increased from 0.5 seconds to 3.0 seconds which is an increase of 500% or 6x the old value. Saying "it's an about 80% nerf" would translate to 0.9 seconds which is plain wrong because you didn't put the statement into context. The amount of procs will be reduced by 83,33% would be a valid statement which is different from a "around 80% nerf".

1 - 0.5/3 = ~83%
In reality, it was almost never once 0.5s. What would proc it at half-second rate? Some lucky delayed FOO?
You would be lucky to proc it once a sec. In fact, once 1-2s is more likely. Now it's once 1-2s+3s.

If DK didnt use charged. or flamestuff for higher procchance. But the majority does use charge atleast on offhand or Flamestaff(i am talking about PvP), wich is totally enough when you count how many flame ability initial hits, dots DK's have and if they wanna make sure to proc statuseffect, they just use flameenchant on top of it. Also burning embers procs cumbostion by 100%. *** 1k costreduction on burning embers. Perfect to spam it on multiple targets to run around like a raidboss with more heal than brain.
In case it would proc after 1-2 seconds like you say, its still 1-2K Mana return, wich is by far far the most broken sustain passive. Other classes dont come even close to that. And i dont even wanna start talk about ultimate ressource gain spam from the army of daedric trickery backbar major heroism DK's.
Proc combustion every 3 seconds and you still have (correct me if im wrong with the math's) like 666 mana regen. Even while block or in mistform kek.
Fact is that in PvP is no other class that can do such insane Dmg Pressure without worring about sustain at all
Its still more regen you get from one passive than other classes get even after the combustion nerf. Not even Necro with pet passive + Cost Pet Costreduction from dying pet or Nightblade with Refreshing Shadows, Templar with runefocus would reach that numbers that DK does with this combustion post nerf(Idk about warden). Probably Sorc with all regen/return passives combined would match post nerf combustion.
You can get more sustain with classes like nightblade with their 15% regen passive, but to get to that point, you need to gear and enchant a lot regen. But who does that in times of rapid regen heal meta, where people just aim for 6-8k weapondmg builds to kill something
And for all the DK's which distract on the templar. Templar, gets Bubble nerfed. Templar need some heavy attacks to sustain, while DK's can just keep up the damage pressure, while they benefit from that stupid autopilot sustain combustion ***. Templar pressure can easy be interrupted by outrange him, because jabs slow down so much, while DK can just cast skill -> sprint -> skill and so on or just leap.
And its not the fault of charged trait. Dont let charged get nerfs because its just overperforming on a single class. Nerf the damn class.Edited by KoIIegoIas on May 12, 2022 1:14PM3 -

The most simple solution would have been to reduce the effectiveness of Burning Embers when applied to more than one enemy. ZoS could've deleted the guaranteed status proc and increased the cost, reduce the healing and/or reduce the damage when multi-dotting. It's stupid to be able to spam Burning Embers to regenerate magicka, heal and deal damage at the same time. At least this would have been my approach to nerf the skill.

Bodycounter✭✭✭✭1 - 0.5/3 = ~83%
You have to put this value into context though. Combustion will only proc 16.67% as often as before the nerf which is equivalent to increasing the internal timer by 500%. Without concrete context "Combustion got nerfed by 83,33%" is wrong because Combustion itself got nerfed by 500%. It's the possible proc rate that got reduced by 83,33%.

@taugrim
1,000 percent agree. I think sorc is in a good spot. They arent top tier, but they have always been one of the easier classes to play and they are a great way to get your feet wet in both end game PVP and PVE. Nothing wrong with a class that fits that niche, and they have been in that spot since about the time VHOF was released. Nerf Sorc is the biggest sign of a L2P issue you will find on these forums. They excel at nuking pugs in PVP (dont be a pug), and their rotation is pretty darn straight forward in PVE with pets doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
NBs honestly need a buff. They have always been the finesse class, which I really like. You need to really pick and choose your targets in PVP and its usually a high risk reward playstyle. In PVE, it is has always been one of the least forgiving and more difficult DPS rotations, but the skill and effort was rewarded. I play a lot of NB, especially in PVE, but now, I struggle to justify it. On a dummy, I am like 10-15k behind my sorc, 15K+ behind my DK, and 20k behind my Necro, and NB is the hardest rotation.
Ease of rotation probably goes DK>Necro> Sorc>NB. DK is trivial, Necro takes good bar swapping, sorc requires dealing with a channeled spammable which I loath (why i dont even mess with templar, even though they are a cakewalk), NB needs for everything to be perfectly dynamic, without a missed LA or your damage falls off a cliff.5 -

vAS is not a prog trial. There's no need to scrutinize class comps. You can can find vAS hardmode groups in Craglorn chat. You cannot find that for vRG HM, hence why it's relevant that 80%+ of all dps in those trials are magdks right now.
The sample is selective, but not for dumb reasons. It's selective because there's only 1 trial currently that consistently has the top PvE groups progging every week.
It's not just PvP. This is a general game imbalance that needs to be corrected.

I'd argue they were less potent than DK, runner up for most op for sure, but not as strong, the Bubble nerf is a pretty large blow to their staying power.
Maybe with the DK changes they'll take DKs space, but they've always had easy telegraphs and way less sustain.
Step through or away from their jab spam, prepare for their 6s burst window. DK had nowhere near the same counterplay.
Funnily enough I die far less to DKs than to templars, because it's just literally impossible to get them off your back while they jab you to death. Throw in a heal or two for that extra speed and there's no way for you to go.

Nobody is saying that Dragonknights aren't strong and that they don't deserve to be nerfed. What we are saying is that the nerf to Combustion could be too excessive. I have seen some PTS parses from other players and they struggled with the sustain a lot and had to fill in several stamina morphs. An internal timer of 2.0 seconds would probably be optimal from a PvE perspective.
I can' tell for PvP but there are plenty other options for nerfs there.

✭✭Funny how everyone is so focused that the combustion passive is why DK is so good. DK’s basically received a 4% nerf to their damage with the changes to engulfing flames. Considering most of mDK’s damage is fire. All the change to combustion did was is take some fun out of the class.
The healing change from burning embers should be returned to its original value of 75% and not the 50% it was changed to. 100% was to much just change it back to the 75% before the buff to 100%.

I agree that bad assumption is bad [Snip]. You assume that mag DK is overperforming in PvE because it dominates PvE raid leaderboards but the thing is every setup that is even 1% stronger than others will dominate leaderboards because this is how high game end group optimisation works. There will be never a balance where each class achieves excatly the same level of strenght in PvE and even if the fluctuation between highest and lowest effective DD will be less than 2% leaderboards will still be dominated by one particular setup. That doesn't instantly mean this one particular setup is overperforming. Top dogs may change but the trend that one particular setup will be dominating ESO logs will continue.

Not sure why you necro'd this old thread. But if you don't want to run resto back bar, you could always just run alternative back bars. I've ran dual wield front bar and inferno staff back bar and found easy success. Instead of having regen back bar you slot elemental drain or elemental susceptibility for major breach access and it works pretty well for a mag DK.

DK heals (embers) got nerfed, some1 in hes video said he had to go back to the old ways of back bar restro cause of the nerf
also sorcs heal much more convenient same with warden though wardens is less convenient
embers has a problem to, when u hit it doesn't heal u right away and u can die with the delay, also its short range i like to have bit distance between myself and enemy, and stone fist shouldn't be heal it is bad for my sustain to use it DK should have normal heal buff and not Dragon blood that alone isn't good neither, instead of so many different skills with heals there should be 1good heal buff cause using different heals trains MP, like change dragon blood like better version of vigor or sorcs critical surge or heal from hit kind of like Orc's passive
