Saw a vid from Nefas where his raid didn't go well while the group was more than capable to do it in old patch so yeah... that's that. I know last boss wasn't even attempted. Apparently RL ran out almost in tears or something like just yeeted out of there. So I guess it's bad on the high end.. my experience so far has also been a very mixed bag.
No accessibility achieved tbh, on contrary, I'm having super long dots and short ones. I'm spending MORE time watching ability bar than before. There's no natural feeling anymore. Combat feels off. Parsing is lower even tho the trial dummy got a 15-20% boost. So yeah the nerf is 'masked'.. overall my experience has been abyssmal and I won't be continuing. Cancelled my ESO+ awhile ago. Still playing as normal till ESO+ falls off, then I'll probably only go overland and quest some. Sit this stuff out. No more trials etc, take a break till we see better times?
Ps. Yes you have to load a *** of dots and ground aoe, etc on your bars to make up for the lost dps. So yeah, way more timers and all so different. It's no fun, doesn't feel like old ESO combat. And jabs animation s**** a** ... it's so bad people either change class or quit. There's no continuing that class with jabs it feels. Blazing Spear spammable inc.
