Thanks for watching! Links to all of the videos covering the other changes coming in Update 41 can be found at the top of the description! Let me know what yall think of this week's adjustments!
Hemorrhaging was technically nerfed a little. It did 44%/88%/132%, now it's 75%/100%/125%. Basically, they raised the floor, lowered the ceiling. I like it.
Thanks for reviewing the notes. The fact that nothing was done for necro despite over 20+ pages of feedback on the forums and pts forums. Not to be a doomer but its clear our feedback gets through less and less. Doesnt matter what side of the blastbones issue you are on. The lack of any direction at all is alarming.
I get originally vampire was supposed to be a pseudo Magicka class while werewolf was supposed to be a pseudo stamina class, but there is absolutely no reason why most if not all of their class kit should be doing bleed damage. The hemorrhaging status effect is nice I suppose
Especially after they "hybridized" everything. I can understand when those damage types were tied more to stamina though. But now it's like let me play into bleed as a vampire lol
@@jozeferickson85 Not to mention, stamina arcanist still does primarily magic damage. The cost of it's abilities change but the damage type doesn't so there is no reason not to let vampires be the inverse of that play around with magicka abilities that have physical damage types.
I really thought we were going to get more skills offering major Brutality/Sorcery on both bars. Im so tired of running dead skills like camo hunter or inner light when Arcs not only get those buffs from 1 skill on either bar but also get crux gen, damage, and resource sustain.
Arc can run camo and yes i agree its redundant but it can still help with niche situations a guild mate of mine runs camo hunt on his arc an does some really good damage on top of the class kit debuffs
I get what you mean and partially agree, but I don't understand your examples. You do realise that Camo Hunter and Inner Light give major Savagery/Prophecy and not Brutality/Sorcery right?
Necromancer needs a total rework. I respect them wanting to go a different direction with it but it is the least played class and it’s not even close. Give them permanently summonable minions . The casting skeletons abilities are ridiculously stupid and don’t do shit for you. Blastbones doesn’t even work half the time. Scrap the damn ability and make it a melee based skeleton follower. Make the skeletal archer and mage permanent. They don’t do shit for damage
At this point I feel like they just watch Skinny's video on patch notes and make adjustments based on that lol thanks for being a solid voice of reason for us Skinny 😊
The lacerate change looks super interesting for solo play especially. Not too expensive of an ult, and an extra 8 beefed up hemmoraging ticks on top of the ult damage is really good. Throw it on a bleed warden or cro and it will be a very, very nice ultimate.
I cant believe they are dubling down on the necro changes. Flame is a better damage tool, stalking is just better for damage. Why not make stalking use your highest stat, make sacrificial replace the stam morph and make that use highest stat as well. Blast bones is why i stuck with the game on my 3rd attempt trying it. Years ago. Whats frustrating about necro rotation isnt the blastbones, its the needing to move all my aoes everytime something moves ffs
@@bernardwade8096 I got smoked for 20k with merciless while i had all major defense buffs up. He wasn't stealthed. Yet they also get to keep a lot of their own defense mitigation up as well. Same as Arcanist which i should have included. PVP is in a horrible state right now. They seriously can't buff these anymore when you have sets like Balorg that nullify the reason to even need breach.
@RagingRevine balorg isn't a big before that set Onslaught was being use it does the same thing and they nerfed that you use to get your ultimate back if killed someone with it. Pvp ain't all that serious but I've also seen people cheat in PvP. Eso isn't made for pvp that's why it's so great
Deadly Cloak do bleed damage maybe? I mean, it would make sense. Small blades slashing at targets. Still waiting for Enchanted Growth and Nature's Grasp to get some attention.
Well they had to do something with blastbones. Diseased guaranteed is a start. I think it is a bit underrated change right now, because it will hit hard in AOE. It will proc diseased on all enemies, and that proc is Also AOE, so depending on how many enemies you hit, it's like a mini Azure light because one enemy could get hit with like 3 or 4 other damage instances depending on the radius of the diseased explosion. It's probably a 4 or 5 meter radius.
great as always at keeping us updated with great insight and tips GGs i say thanx by sending anyone who ask about a build on PS NA to your website or youtube i hope that helps in some way and i also really appreciate you still staying down to earth and sticking around in my discord for Dota i see you responding and you dont know how much that means to some ppl they have told me so just wanted to say me and the Dawn of the Ancients guild big thanx brotha you got one of the best vibes and work ethic we all see it much appreciated✌️
Vampire Scion would be more compelling if they got rid of their duration in favor of a damage based timer like the werewolf. Their spammable should be a long range blood dagger like the ones used against the player in Harrowstorms. Eviscerate could use a more impactful sound but that’s just my taste there.
The Blighted Blastbones' change is actually interesting. U41 makes disease effect an aoe damage, so if the guranteed proc of disease is for every target, then multiple aoe disease procs may stack with each other, making it something like azureblight set, which is a lot of damage.
I think the Devs are actually gulping, everytime Skinny is getting the calculator and His spreat Sheets! He doesn't oversee anything Devs!!! Thanks Skinny xD
Templars still need backlash fixed. I’m convinced for PvP it’s double dipping. For the ‘burst’ ability to do max 4k yet whip, subterranean, curse/frags and bow do up to or beyond 10k is crazy. Templars are a pressure class with the burst to finish but the burst does nothing and with the nerf to jabs, templars struggle.
As you know, Necromancers, when they first came out was one of the most powerful classes, although a difficult play style. Then got nerfed, nerfed, and nerfed again. Now they are nerfing the standard blast bones, nerfing Necromancers out of existence. Call me cynical, but could it be that players have invested so much time on their chosen classes, they are not purchasing the latest class; so force them into paying cash money for the new class by nerfing their current class out of existence. Hell, they bring out a new powerful class, the Arcanist, and they are nerfing that already. I just need ZOS to stop it, stop fixing things that don't need fixing. I am also a Vamp, if you want to give Vamps some love, how about lessoning the fire/flame penalties a little bit. My main two characters are Necromancers, unless Zos drop the proposed lunacy against Necromancers, I will not be purchasing the next chapter, and will sadly be saying goodbye to ESO online. I will abandon and never again purchase or play any of their parent companies or subsidiary companies games, for the rest of my life.
I actually love these changes. I wanted the sundered change on focused aim long before the buff to it, and now its going to be even better. Focused Aim is going to be fantastic
i look at these necro changes and i think the same exact thing i have been thinking for a long time. How is it even remotely possible for a dev team to be so incredibly out of touch with one of their classes? I just cannot wrap my head around it. The class is so beyond bad. Sometimes things look good on paper but perform badly in execution. This is not the case. The class looks bad, performs bad, and is bad. I am speaking from a pvp exprieince, but i dont see people pveing on necro very much either. I mean just compare the major and minor buffs of a class like nightblade. Its like 25+ compared to necro's 10. It is unreal. And thats just the tip of the iceberg. The class has major flaws compared to every other class. And they just go on like its all fine. Changes should have happened a while ago, and they really need to do better with what they give the class. If you want to have an underdog class fine but this is just overkill. Ill play a class that isnt great, i still play necro and stam sorc was my main before it was even half of a class, but to me this just screams neglect for the sake of nothing.
I was hoping ZOS would revert the blastbones change, or at the very least bring blighted up to the same strength live stalking is and make it a split cost so it can be sustained on a magcro, but they're doubling down on their change with no communication. They're aware of complaints since they gave a (minimal) buff to blighted, but the ignored 2 weeks worth of PTS suggestions. It's disheartening to see that they're not taking any feedback into consideration with such a controversial change that's killing the class. Blighted cannot be sustained on magcro and sacrificial bones has too many issues with corpse generation which means boneyard and tethers are effectively going to be useless if you use it.
my blastbones used to get bugged and I couldn't cast it until I relogged so as long as it doesn't bug it'd be a buff since it never worked correctly for me anyway lol.
Everybody: ZOS, Necro changes not good. Blastbone morph bad, low damag and bad sustain. New buff bad, not enough corpses and damag. Plis fix. ZOS: We've heard your feedback, now the shitty blastbone morph that was proccing diseased 99% of time, procs it 100% of the time and the remainder of Necro's crappy kit hasn't been touched at all. You are welcome!
not quite. it was somewhere in the 15-25% range depending on your setup. Now it is 100% and also has a small AoE component to it. Actually about an 8-10% or so increase to damage from the skill. Is it enough? Nope...but your analysis is way off.
Bro Wardens are dead in the water they need help so badly. Necros are close to also being undesirable I see not a single one in any of my trial runs for end game. Please devs, DK's get so much love, spread it to others too you're on the right track but they need more.
the breach is present at the explosion too. guess it depends when exactly it applies (before or after explosion) and also depends what spam you are using, cause biting jabs procs sundered a lot already too.
@@skinnycheeks we tested it in the forums and it seems like the sundered always procs after the explosion. On top of that its a step back if we have to play jabs again, after the burning light changes.
you mis-read the executioner changes. All it did was change the damage type NOT add a status effect so the damage should scale as usual but will now do bleed INSTEAD of physical
Just had a thought. Why don't the leave stalking blastbones as is but have it make the enemy count as a corpse(sacrificial using you as a corpse makes siphon portable but only melee) so that siphon becomes a stickey aoe as long as you stay close enough
I'm that guy with the cruel flurry set 😅 tried it on bleed warden then put it on my first zens setup and it went ok on both but Maelstroms bonus dot and the extra front bar slot for better skills was still better.
They are removing Minor Breach from Skills and instead hiding the effect within the Sundered Status Effect. Is it just me, or is this like an inverse of how ZOS usually changes things? Usually, it seems like they are trying to "clean" things up and instead we are getting a more messy implementation because tool tips don;t explain to players what all these Status Effects DOOO and what the ODDS are!
They would’ve done better by the Necromancer by leaving it alone. Instead every patch there is a step backwards and now it’s signature skill is gone and the Class has even more problems. Huge middle finger to everyone who bought the Class. Insane choices from both balance and business standpoints.
@@wiz369 I’m sorry for the really bad timing. Unfortunately, Zos has a habit of ignoring their paying customers. They’ve put on the face of ‘trying to do better’ for years but no such progress has been made as you can see. If you feel as strongly about the changes as others do then the thing to do is let your displeasure be known to RU-vidrs, streamers and unsubscribe/let them know you aren’t purchasing future content. The only thing they respond to is bad press and their bottom line.
@@Kalle_Demos I just got back into gaming so I'm not subscribed to anyone. But this is the reason I took years off of gaming. The gaming industry is bs
I really like 2h frontbar builds, but with status effects being even more important now and not being able to run charged unless your running advancing yokeda or kilt is a big drag imo
Still confused why they did all the nerfs 1.5 years ago? Then the stupid nerf to Oakensoul ring to alienate players? Still can't bring myself to play a game that will nerf players because they think this helps new players.
All of the martial weapons light and heavy attacks deal physical damage right? Meanwhile the staves each deal elemental and magic damage. What if they changed axes for example to deal bleed damage and by extension increase sources of hemorrhaging? That way Maybe depending on class and load outs maybe there will be a reason to not just default to daggers? Maybe werewolf light attacks could deal bleed too?
I dont understand why they yeeted the more commonly used Blastbones morph instead of changing the one that no one used. Itll be a net DPS loss in PvE, and utterly destroy the class in PvP. So sad.
yeah that's why I've been saying they should have done the opposite morph, or they need the blighted morph buffed up a ton to match/surpass where stalking was
The last nerf to Necromancers, they nerfed the intensive spirit mender, a fantastic skill that kept me alive through many a group dungeon, solo,; even in PVP. Nerfed. I think they reduced both the time it heals you and allies, and the amount it heals, as now when summoned, it only seems to float around for 2 seconds, and heals for next to nothing. Just another nail in the Necromancers coffin, you better purchase the latest chapter and be an arcanist if you want to succeed. Foolishly, I did; giving ZOS the benefit of the doubt. Not again.
Not going to lie, as a Templar main I really don't see any point in running purifying light at all. I'm completely for the changes to power of the light, but there's absolutely zero reason to use purifying in PVE or pvp. It costs way more, it doesn't have utility or increase damage that a Templar can't Source from other skills, with radiant oppression versus radiant Glory one of them has increased damage while the other one has sustained and healing, but power of the light has increased damage depending on whether or not you have a source of minor breach, and also better sustain even on a Magicka Templar
These necro changes. I’m convinced these devs just don’t listen to the playerbase. There’s been page after page of feedback and they go and gut the class. Idk why people bother anymore with this game.
Is it really so bad? I know everyone hates the Necro changes but it seems overall slight improvements to everything else for the most part. I am a filthy casual though so what do I know.
Idk why everyone is focused on diseased procs defile debuff for blighted BB, they literally turned it into an azureblight skill on command stack your ads on the boss if applicable and blow it TF up
Yeah the guaranteed disease proc on BB is much more significant for PvP. Stacking major and minor defile on top of healing reduction from battle spirit and minimal health recovery from vamp 3 makes for a rough fight.
I haven't played ESO in 6 years.. idk why I'm watching this. I'm downloading the insane update now and hope to play again tomorrow. I'm gonna probably spend hours just gawking at all the stuff I've missed 😂 This is gonna be great!
@@skinnycheeks thats what I was afraid of lmao. Last I remember they were showing trailers of Solitude. It hadn't even come out yet. Then I hear about companions now and God only knows what they've done to my builds. Probably nerfed and re buffed them a dozen times over. All my gear is probably completely outdated and I'm sure they did something with the combat mechanics too. I was a skilled PVPer but I'm expecting to become a noob all over again 😂 The main thing I'm curious about is if my old guild ever kicked me. The Flying V's. Best guild to ever exist in ESO IDC what anyone says. They had the best merchant spots, the most lax donation rules a guild hall with every crafting table in the game.. and everyone was always down to do something with anyone and genuinely extremely friendly and helpful. Such great times. I can't wait to see how much everything has changed though. Its gonna be a shock and I'm excited for it.
@@individual116 you mean PvE specifically? Because in pvp POTL was almost useless after "rework". It provided a tiny bit of damage, but at least it was a staple debuff. And you could cast it on several targets to debuff them all for 10 seconds. Now they will only have 4, except for the last one target, where you leave your POTL. But for PvE, where minor breach is applied anyway it is a buff, I agree.
Backlash change is good.. until you find out the minor breach from sundered doesn't work on the first or last tick of POTL because it applies at the same time. Kinda silly that your burst doesn't get the bonus its meant to give.
So it looks like my vampire stam necro is about to be replacing Stalking Blast Bones, with Eviscerate, because the new morph is trash for my build and gear, since it only buffs one ability on my bar, and not one I use frequently enough to be useful. Losing too much damage, but if I add eviscerate I can get up to three forms of hemorrhaging damage, since same sources don't stack. At least I can still get my 3 stacks in, plus regular eviscerate damage, to make up the loss
Yeah I feel all class spammables need a looking at, whip is in a weird place for mag dks (although it is a strong spammable to be fair but the stacking effect isn’t played around for top damage) and Stam dks just use it as a passive on the back bar, Stam sorcs spammables is a joke but op for PvP, necros and wardens spammable is a joke
@@GoochMuncher6969 There's alot of bad ones for sure. Warden, both morphs is really bad and only useful as a dot. Suprise attack is a complete joke, guranteed crit chance on a class with 70% crit chance. It adds pretty much no DPS and might aswell not be there. Necro skulls remain slow and clunky. Swallow soul is also really bad
Should they just rework werewolf to work on ultimate drainage rather than a flat timer? Like a much faster transformation with a damage shield while gaining a flat amount of ult ending the form early and gaining major heroism, while buffing your normal skills before transforming back with a massive buff to werewolf skills, etc. Something to really give incentive to bring werewolf builds into hard content while making it work better as an in and out rotation rather than just using sets and slottables for passives then staying in form the entire time.
Now templars will stop crying when they get sunder which gives small burst, fracture, and weapon/spell damage to self. Without needing charge much. I just hope charge will stay good in the end. Having multiple sources of insta proc status effect will just make it irrelevant
