Very true! It does seem very counter productive. Who are these changes helping?
Frost Warden is a status effect build, but we use ice staves, so it's not helping us lolPvE Frost Warden Main and teacher for ESO-U.

Yeah, I had a brief aha! Moment and then remembered we have to use ice staves.PC/NA Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS/Heal), Trialist (DPS/Tank/Heal), and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore- CP 2000+

I ask again- who are these changes helping??
Because on pts lightning staff doesn't buff Flail any more
At best lightning staff is an Arcanist-only weapon now, maybe, templar. But DW will still be better.
Obviously a nerf to any classes' HA build.
Indirectly, It is a nerf to PVE pet sorc because bar space and Necro because their big skills are aoe Direct Damage.
Ironically, I think the real reason people liked HA builds is not having to micromanage buffs every 20s.

✭✭✭U39 will make the worst PvP classes (MagSorc, MagNecro) even worse:ZOS wrote:Lightning Staff-Ancient Knowledge: This passive now increases your damage done with over time and channeled attacks by 6/12%, rather than increasing your damage done with Area of Effect attacks by 5/10%.
Lightning Staff-Tri Focus: This passive now only triggers on fully charged Heavy Attacks, rather than any tick of a Heavy Attack.
ZOS hits another nail in the LightArmor - Lightning Damage coffin.
Sorcs and Necros NEED HELP. But what do we get in U39? MORE NERFS.

Indeed. I thought we were done with huge combat changes for a little while. I'm so disappointed.Angua Anyammis Ae Sunna6 -

They should, but given that we are entering week #4 of the PTS and if past behaviour is anything to go by in all likelihood they won't.
We will have to close our eyes and imagine... they have provided the 'fantasy' element, we will just have to conjure the 'power' part in our minds.4 -

Thank you for sharing this video. Painful to watch but at least proves what many of you have been saying about tri-focus.1 -
