but nb got crap too. any changes to nb r made just to non nb could complain, previous patch they backbared cloak-in pvp u carry this on front bar,or u die. also buff is same like on camouflaged hunter, or mage light-skills which give u more dmg as passives and allow detection. now syphoning strikes cost health- good way to make suicide in pvp if u play glass canon ;-p
I think NB is and has always been about weaving to build stacks for the bow proc and to keep up heals. They should really keep focusing the class around that, it's very rewarding when you've learnt to weave properly. The class is really fun because it's so active in its play style and rotation. I don't think all classes should be dumbed down to where people just spam one ability and the rest are just sitting on the bar for passives. Maybe do that for some classes and let them be more beginner friendly, but also let some classes keep the weaving focus and reward people for learning to weave properly.
@@Halligun Yeah, Necro definitely needs more nerfs. There are still a few named buffs in the necro skills. To make the Necro theme complete those need to be removed so the class has no buffs at all. Then you have to load up both bars with something else than necro skills. That seems to be the intention from ZOS anyway.
@@dragonwren1893 ye there is that problem, i had wished the Scribing system would make it so that you can edit the cost of base game skills. That way arcanists could keep their identity, and you as any other class could choose to edit like up to 3 skills's costs and change them from mag to stam or the other way around if you fiddled with scribing. But it seems it won't work that way.
Ugh, this necromancer chance sounds garbage. Using syphon is going to be kinda difficult if I'm only casting blast bones once every 20 second. Also, the soul will be at my feet now, so that's not helpful. Boneyard won't be getting buffed either since ... well, no souls to consume. I haven't played the pts to see how it feels, but on paper I don't see how this works if you're a magcro, or ec buff cro.
Stamina just sitting there. Just use the other morph. They could make the morph scale better by taking into account highest resources and w/s damage. I can see it being more of an issue in pvp where stamina is used alot more during combat.
Blast bones creates a corpse AND allows you to use yourself as a corpse. You can aim siphon at the corpse created from blast bones, and then your subsequent graveyard cast will use YOU as a corpse and be empowered. I’ve played the PTS.
Yeah, I was just about to ask where the templar changes are. Maybe there are so many, that Nefas has to make a separate video to cover all of them. I expect the video to be at least as long as this one. It's huge!
mostly happy with the changes, finally giving love to solo sorc. (no pets) one thing about those sorc pets, I would definitely reduce the size. Do they need to be that big, flapping around like that? Lol
One time I did a blastbones and it didn't hit a target but bugged out so I couldn't cast another one until I relogged. If I were in some scorepushing that would've fucked the run up lol
Honestly I don’t mind Arcanists runecarver being nerfed, I just wish the gate ability would be buffed in that you can apply it to more surfaces so you can vertically climb like how it was advertised instead of the lane nerfed version. I know it was nerfed cause of PVP but I love the concept of vertical exploration and using the portal to climb and explore. Like I don’t mind if they make it so that you can climb walls in Cyrodil or whatever but give back the vertical climbing capabilities please! That’s why I wanted Arcanist for more roleplay game emergent possibilities. Don’t get me wrong Arcanist is op af, but I would trade all of the damage dealing and tank op abilities just to give the gate vertical climbing ability back!
I really like the change to Siphoning Strikes, gives NB even more survivability via passive healing by dmg done per sec, while making it easier to maintain resources if caught low on those. Combined with Healthy Offering, Funnel Health, Sap Essence or even vampiric Sated Fury, that thing can make you nearly invincible.
Hey, first, just thanks for all the videos you make. When I play, it's mostly as a nb tank or pet-less sorc. On nb, I'll have to change a bit, but I feel it will open up race changes more.. Having incap on bar is redundant now for me, though. Pet-less Sorc changes look promising. However, a bit of passive damage for no pets would be nice.
Losing Blastbones as an offensive spell is just really confusing. Blastbones has always been my first attack (pre-combat) and planting a corpse at my feet isn't helpful because now my siphon is on me not my target Honestly, just add Sacrificial as a new skill or morph or make the Stam morph like the Arcanist skills so it draws from highest stat rather than stam/mag exclusively My other problem with this change is that it renders the new IA set's 5th piece bonus useless The logic here doesn't seem satisfying
Pet sorcs are my least favorite build whatsoever in ESO. I hate that they exist at all, even just other players using them, because those damn Winged twilights are so everywhere. Glad my petless sorcerer is recognized as an individual.
Here are some better alternatives for Necromancer: Necrotic Potency Target: Area Duration: 6 seconds Cost: 1 corpse Skill description Embrace the power of collected souls to bolster your dark arts. For each soul absorbed, increase your Weapon and Spell Damage by 50. Sapping the lingering life from fresh corpses, grants you 6 Ultimate while healing 682 Health every 1 second for 6 seconds per additional corpse. This ability scales off your Max Health. While slotted, your damage taken is reduced by 3%. Blastbones Target: Enemy/Area Range: 28m Cost: 2700 Skill description After 2.5 seconds, summon a flaming skeleton from the ground. The skeleton pursues the target and explodes upon reaching them, dealing 3486 Flame Damage to nearby enemies. Using the reticle while summoning allows you to direct the blastbones towards a specific target. Otherwise, they will autonomously follow the Necromancer and engage the nearest target within a 10m radius. Recast to have any time. Blighted Blastbones Target: Enemy/area Range: 28m Radius: 6m Duration: 4 second Cost: 2295 Skill description Summon a decaying skeleton from the ground after 2.5 seconds. The skeleton runs after the target and explodes when it gets close to them, dealing 3600 Disease Damage to all enemies nearby and applying Major Defile to them for 4 seconds, reducing their healing received and Health Recovery by 16%. Creates a corpse on death, causing a putrid area of decay in a 6-meter radius. Enemies within the area suffer from a potent Disease affliction, taking 1500 Disease damage over 4 seconds. Only 2 blighted corpes may persist at at time.
IDK the majority of forums threads over the last 3 years have been that people hate necro rotation with blastbones. Now that doesnt mean get rid of it, just make it so we dont have to spam it every 3 abilities. Anyone all of a sudden acting like necros rotation was not a piece of shit compared to everyone else is either not been playing the game for years or is just lying. Having to bar swap 2-3 times more than any other class is not fun. I dont think this is the best change for it but acting like blastbones wasnt a core issue is just ignorant or disingenuous.
I don’t care much for the Nightblade changes, I am by no means pro with that class but it’s fucking awesome to know that I can always get better with it. It’s fun motivation to hammer out the weak points on my LA weaving skills.
Sorc as well was lacking in heals unless you had resto back bar and didn’t use curse or crit surge and instead used pots for 20% just so you could do rapid regen so I’m excited to see how that works for PvP
Welcome NB changes. The fact that you have to build up arthritis just to say "Look im skilled and deserved to win, because I can swap and spam like a maniac" It makes pvp look like a fiesta in general. The more slower bar swaps are required, the better. The animation looks jank af too. You are used to this for playing so long, newer players see this and it looks really low budget
I disagree. There should be classes that reward those who learn to play well. There are other classes for those who want to keep pressing one button, you can also do oakensoul heavy attacking and just tape your mouse button down and go afk in case you don't want to learn how to weave.
That's exactly the problem. The ego trip people like you put yourself on thinking more effort = more skill. That's not how skill works to begin with. They are actively removing the tedious nature of the jank and literally pointless swapping. If buffs weren't on a 10 sec swap CD it would be just as tedious and just as braindead to actively keep up. @@elderwiz3165
@@elderwiz3165 But ur argument is: People doing that is SKILLED ON TESO. To me the so calling weaving is just push buttons like a crrazy with tempo. Not less, not more. To me weaving is OVERRATED, A RELIC FROM TESO EARLY DAYS. If TESO will survive IN THE FUTURE new classes must be based in real skills in COMBAT not just a SQUARED ROTATION. IA for sure will help to do it giving bosses a real INTELLIGENCE and eliminating those SILLY BOSSES PATTERNS.
Looks like my Magicka Templar stays on the shelf for another year because the class simply doesn't exist if you play magicka according to devs. My PvP necro is now completely broken....all because the targeting of BB has been broken forever so the 'fix' is to make it supply another corpse where I don't need it. I want just one necro burst skill. Sorc changes are nice...no pets hooray. Despite the beam nerf, the arc will still get good damage with little effort - if you don't want to play sorc or DK, the arc will still be viable it seems for an easy beam rotation. Which everyone will still use.
With the Necro i don't understand the intent of changing blastbones, it's literally the bread and butter of Necro dps, with this change you're still buff juggling in rotations. I would've preferred if they instead baked the sacrificial blastbone into Mage/Archer, something like every corpse consume empowers your Mage/Archer by a fixed 20% and refreshes it's duration. While also giving Necro passive for Mage/Archer slotted like Brutality / Sorcery or Endurance / Intellect. That's all they need imo.
@@TheAlphaOmegaX3 Needs testing for sure, but pretty sure stalking blastbones was a 10% increase to explosion damage to the ability every second before it reached a target, the disease morph is just the standard blastbone but disease instead. Even then, the new morph kinda screws with siphoning tether anyway, main reason i dislike it.
and they are straight up trash in PvE. I play my NB just about as perfect as it gets. I pull 115k on my stamblade on parse. I can no brain rotation 125k on my archanist without an issue. It's 10k more dps on a standstill no movement fight. the second a boss leaves my melee range in content because a tank decides he's bored of standing in the same spot, an arcanist is going to be far more than a 10k dps difference.
@@BMXhunterWOWdawg you only need like 90k dps for 90% of the content in the game 😂 Any parse higher than like 120k is just sweaty min maxing and critnfarming you will rarely ever replicate in content
honestly i don't get why they didn't just add "use your highest resource" with blastbones there, like you have the tech already why just keep it a stamina skill with lower cost. Granted i'm also just salty about them taking away one of my "blue flame" skills there, like that character was already suboptimal why hurt it more?
Still dont know why they dont give noxious breath poison damage buff, both morphs should do the same but for each respective damage type Also keep the breach, that shits nice to have
The reasoning behind the beam nerf was a bit weird but tbh, if it was for me i would nerf beam by like 20%. The class is scary stronger than the others classes in basically every way (ease of use, aoe damage, sustain, survivability) and imo becouse of that much aoe damage arcanist should do "way" less single target damage than the other classes. Idc about it been less fun; the class literally broke PvE
These changes are like if they read feedback on how weak runeblades are, and went "your feedback is valuable" then went off path and nerfed night blade or something as a response.
giving them either major berserk or major slayer still wouldn't be enough to make them relevant in PVE due to how common those buffs are. what they really need is a unique damage to monsters buff
Templars are being nerfed. Flame damage from burning has decreased - vampires' bane and reflective light are untouched. Status effect that goes with magic damage is garbage, and they added 64 mag recovered from activating this crap, compared to other status effects, that are gonna be much more effective and interesting. And you can no longer use mass taunt with Charge+Tormentor.
@@TheAlphaOmegaX3 all the status effects got a big boost, so overcharged will still suck with its magicka-useless-steal, compared to chilled or desiesed
Guys wanna start playing eso, can some1 recomend a class for me (pref tank pve and dps for pvp), im good at animation canceling (high rank at LoL) so im familliar with "hard class". pref some DoT or high burst dmg (i mean combo burst like stacks and buffs for 1-3 big dmg skills, not tunneling stable high dps) for dps and self-sustain for tanks (like death knight in wow). For pvp i really like some "bruiser" style (warrior in wow or bladesworm in GW2) or buff-supp (not heals but cc and buffs debuffs). Thanks to all!
Animation cancelling isn't really a thing in modern eso. People used to block cancel back in the day, but weaving isn't really animation cancelling like that. There are no buff supplies classes in this game like you're asking. Play a dragon knight if you liked death knight dps in wow. They have a grip, a ground aoe ability that slows like death and decay, they have a lot of dots like unholy dk's use, and they're never a weak class. They are mid to high tier dps rn, and have always been S rank up until now. Do not roll a night blade unless you like pulling 20-30% less than other classes.
Also devs didn't make game for pvp players they don't care about pvp they even said it on the trailer for gold road they made eso for roleplayers and casual players and that's the game play there focus on
they also said the end of year patch is pvp focused. i also dont blame them, the 2 pvp updates they did, i.e imperial city and battlegrounds, got a shit ton of pushback when they first came out. and theyre awesome additions
Bring back evasion...do something that preserves the game instead of changing it to the point where its a new game i didn't buy, or at least refund people's money who you screw over every new patch
I want old evasion so bad. Tavas was soooo good, now it’s useless. Ult gen is a fun way to build, and Tavas is #1 for that if you keep it up. Roll spamming every 3 seconds just dumps your Stamina too quick.
Blast bones is a crappy skills in PvP, this change I think will be really good (after testing anyway). Arcanists need a big nerf to shield and healing for PvP
