Sorcerer having to choose between Major Resolve or Major Prophecy

ketsparrowhawk · July 13

You need both Major Resolve and Major Prophecy in a proper build. Why make Sorc choose between one or the other?

Thanks,

Ket

That is the problem with Camouflaged Hunter.
I have my friends at both bars.

Its pretty insane that they not only change one of the most iconic abilities, but then also make it so that pure stamsorcs literally don't have a way to get their Armor Buff.

Yes it is quite insane.

Balance skill under mages guild will be your friend now. Been using it on several builds lately for Major Resolve. The only thing I can figure is they wanted to remove Major Resolve from DPS skills lines.

Stay safe

I didn't actually realise till you said it, Sorc is now the only class in the game that can't source both major prophecy/savagery and Major Resolve just from class skills.

Yes, to even suggest this someone must be completely unfamiliar with the game but then it made it to patch notes. So disheartening to see such out of touch changes.

Beyond disgusting that bound aegis is turning into:
Magicka = defense
Stamina = offense

???

Maybe they took offence at the fact that some of us took the storm calling skill line because it has both critical surge - which gives you major brutality/sorcery and a pretty good heal - and hurricane - which gives you major resolve, a useable DoT and minor expedition - plus fairly serviceable passives for our 'solo' builds?

Seeing how peculiar they can be about these things - see Lucht vs Plaguebreak for instance - I honestly would not put it past them.

Wouldn't put it past them.

That said, I also do think skills should stay in either an offensive or defensive lane, not have one morph for one and one for the other. (Morphs should be either mag/stam or pve/pvp focused but broadly making the skill do the same thing).

For a PVP'er, Balance is a non-starter with that 50% healing reductions for 4 secs. If this change actually goes through, which will mean ZOS just isn't listening to the vast majority of players, I think people will be swapping out their monster sets for Mighty Chudan.

The Arcanist can't either.

What it means is sorcerer will be the only class in the game that can get Major Resolve from a single skill morph.

Pushing it a bit with the term offense since it losing the stam buff which equals almost 200 weapon damage and is 18% weaker than Relentless

Edited sorry just now getting enough caffine

It'd probably have made more sense to put the savagery/prophecy on hurricane and boundless instead of minor force, similar to the merciless change.

Then put minor force on armaments, leave minor protection on aegis, and put major resolve somewhere else in the daedric line, maybe even as part of one of the passives.

katorga · July 14

Changes as a whole are bad, Really bad.

It is like once they changed merciless they ____had____ to find something on sorcerer to change. Since bound armaments is so bad already they struggled and managed to ruin THREE skills at one time.
