Update 43 - Everything you NEED to know | ESO 

The necro updates are just 😍😍😍

Man, this Warden change is kinda removing Ice Staff as a dps weapon as a whole. It no longer has a place in Warden unless you run Frostbite and its quite restrictive if Ice Staff only use is on this one set or just run it as a tank. On the other hand, its a huge damage increase for everything else, kinda excited to test out Aeries Cry on it since it buffs up animal companion skills and hopefully including the bear. This was bound to happen at some point since that skill tree was meant to be tanking, but I still have no idea why they wouldnt include a taunt ability in that skill tree when its clearly what it lacks from a tanking perspective.

The changes to the warden warrant an outrage of any players who heavily invested in warden (myself included) since the last change to piercing cold which made warden viable. I play warden in a variety of content except pvp. This includes vetTrial Healing, vetTrial and Dungeon Tanking, and vet Trial DD, and solo arena and solo overland (including solo clearing world events and bosses) The change done to piercing cold, while grievous, as this takes away from the frost mage identity we were so happy with, is not as detrimental as it looks. An 8% damage done across the board will open up avenues for other builds for the warden rather than bottlenecking them into a frost staff setup as kaan mentioned. Its the change to Arctic Blast which really has me upset. Taking away a class' burst heal only serves to help balance it for pvp, which i have no clue on. In all other content though, this just straight up hurts the warden, especially in solo. What on earth were they thinking...

Warden: Ouch, that AoE is bad... Continues to stun a mud crab and dies.

Finally, necro getting some love. It's bin a long time since they gave my favorite class some attention

Spread the necro love !!

I think most of us will have more ink than we need pretty soon. Once all old characters are set up and we have played around with the system for a while, the amount of ink we get from random drops will probably more than cover the occasional changes and new characters.

Thank you!!

was just looking at the nightblade skills yesterday and realized how blur is kinda useless and has nothing to do with assassination. good idea to move that one to shadow abilities

Great vid ty Ninja ❤

Finally, the Necromancer its my main class and character i have healer, tank and my lovely dps, i do so much damage, but now with this... woah man amazing... love it, peeerrrfect

Thanks for the clear update! And I love that you got to reuse that scholarium shot again 😎

Vampire just constantly getting trashed on just feels so bad 🫠

Great summary

Nice job.

_Loove_ most of the necro changes currently proposed, but I'm _definitely_ going to miss spamming Ulti Gen outside of combat if that goes live 😭 Meanwhile, I've had a chance to sleep on the proposed Piercing Cold changes for Warden. Honestly, I can live with a 4% damage nerf for ice staff so that Wardens can use _any_ weapon that they want. The duration-to-cooldown ratio on Piercing Cold feels clunky, though. I feel like a cooldown of 4 seconds, with a duration of 6-8 seconds for the 8% damage buff would be more realistic to maintain 100% uptime. Actually, I'm wondering if my no-master's staff build might deal _more_ damage than before, if I use a Lightning or _Fire_ staff? 🤔 I'm definitely going to be testing things out to see what works best.

Good Summary! Curious to see how this PTS cycle moves forward.

I just use the stamina tenticles on my magicka arcanist. It gives the ink debuff and doesnt consume crux. Having to add a heal to my back bar kind of sucks if tenticles only works when it hits something. Tenticles being our main passive heal means stamina is probably there to stay.

So basically... we have until August 19th to play warden. Half my account are wardens, so I guess this will be my last event participating in PvP.

Ty and much better than the other dude that covered it. Way clearer and complete with notes that can readily paused if needed. TYVM for the hard work. Sent your video to the guild.

Sucks for warden dds but its understandable from a pvp standpoint. I will say I like the piercing cold change since I can now run a inferno or lightning staffs and get the ancient knowledge passive that goes in hand with piercing cold change if I understood it correctly.

Been out for 2 years. Never heard of infinite archive. Might have to check it out.

Oh wow i was getting with Runecarver 10k less damage on the Dummy then pillar of nirn and i thought the Set was Not working properly in Xbox. Thx for the enlightment kaan, will give it a second try now

Unarmed skill line? I wanna punch people... As a giant skeleton... W/a tiny mage skele hype-man in the corner...

I have tested on the PTS, only shoulder coffers in IC are currently curated, equipment boxes (like PA which you mention in the video) are currently not curated.

Lovely video, thank you!

Damnit! Now I gotta give up my Warden. 😔 Might try Dragonknight for my new character.

2% more crit chance from veiled strike rather than max hp might actually be kinda neat ngl

2:54 i wonder if this screws cephalirarch flail in pvp now... dammit

Would torc of ayleid king be fixed?

Ngl i almost gave up on necro. It feels so underpowered compared to other classes. The changes sound good, i HOPE theyre good.

Bruh how they nerfing magden while sorc and nb are way superior in PvP

Are they going to return everyone's anniversary mount that disappeared after Gold Road went live?

welp stage 3 vamp is now pointless

artic blast is being replaced already for pvp for scribing skills for a reason and now they are nerfing it more????? lmaooo the devs are clearly nb blade mains

They just implemented the essential housing tools addon to the maingame.

They should really put Major Sorcery/Brutality on Blastbones instead... Skeletal mage is good for PvE, but useless in PvP. Moving it to Blastbones would make it usable in both PvP and PvE.

Zos has more stuff they want you spend money on, so time to nerf the thing they made op to sell a chapter.

As if vampire wasn't bad enough esp for stam, they nerf it? zz

Long overdue necro buffs, but how they nerf stage 3 vampire without adding nothing in return? Give at least ulti gen when at low health, recoveries or increased weapon damage when hit at low hp to make up for it.

8 keys instead of 5? yeah, it used to be 1.

They let the Cro rock for like 3-4 years before the nerfed it 😆

Really sad that stamden no longer exists in the minds of the combat devs.

The signature script sage's remedy is nerfd already so stupid

Huge house... That can't be furnished.. Lots of those unfortunately. -Give us smaller houses with 700 slots, or increase the slots so we CAN furnish those huge houses..

Will it even be worth being a vamp in PvP now massive nerf for vamps. dks will eat u alive 😂

Booo stop nerfing shit and buff the other shit leave arcanist alone. And warden for fuck sakes it seems like they are trying to make warden the worst class just keeps getting nerfs every update

I hope they just buff necro and keep warden the way that it is. When do you think they will release this crap patch?

Templar and necro are unusable in competitive pvp and still will be. Sorc and NB are the best and are getting more buffs. Sad time for those that like classes that are in the action and don’t play like sis boys. 🙃

Yes but ZOS failed to account for the causes of the Nika uprisings: Justinian, along with his prominent officials John the Cappadocian and Tribonian, faced significant public disapproval due to the implementation of high tax rates, allegations of corruption against the latter two officials, and John's reported harsh treatment of debtors. Justinian and John also reduced expenditure on the civil service and took steps to combat corruption within the civil service.John was particularly unfavourable among the senatorial elites, who were hit hard by John's new taxation policy which targeted the wealthiest in society, likely leading to senatorial influence within the riots. Numerous nobles, who had suffered a loss of power and wealth as a result of the downsizing and reform of the civil service, joined the ranks of the Greens. Justinian also took steps to diminish the influence of both teams. This was perceived by the Greens as an oppressive action akin to the reforms implemented in the civil service, while the Blues felt a sense of betrayal. The Roman legal code was widely perceived as a marker that distinguished the civilised Romans from "barbarians". (Latin: barbari).The law code was also religiously important as the Romans were believed to be "chosen by God", it being a symbol of justice. As a result, the successful implementation of significant legal reforms by an emperor was viewed as lending legitimacy to their reign, while a lack of progress in this area was interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure. What had taken nine years for the Theodosian code took Justinian just thirteen months. However, prior to the Nika riots of January 532, the pace of legal reforms had significantly slowed.Concurrently, Justinian was engaged in an unsuccessful war against the Persian Empire. While initial Byzantine victories at Dara in the spring of 530 and Satala in the summer of 530 had temporarily enhanced his legitimacy, the defeat at Callinicum in 531 and the deteriorating strategic situation had a detrimental effect on the emperor's reputation. The legal reforms were met with resistance from the aristocracy from their inception, as they eliminated the ability to utilize obscure laws and jurisprudence to evade unfavorable judgments.Further, both Justinian and his wife Theodora were of low birth - Byzantine society was not as class driven as the feudal-dominated society of the west.The Greens were a Monophysite group and represented the interest of the moneyed non-landowners, Justinian being neither of those. As a result, Justinian's refusal to grant amnesty to the two individuals arrested in connection with the riots further exacerbated the anger and resentment towards the emperor, causing the factions to become more violent in their methods, setting fires and indiscriminately attacking imperial guards. Another cause that might have added to the intensity of the riots was the fact that the power of these factions had gone unchecked for a long time under Justin, with Justinian then strengthening their rivalries by supporting a specific faction. Furthermore, the fact that activity towards the factions had largely been unrestricted for three decades prior during Justin’s reign, meant the likelihood of them working together in common cause was far greater. Their almost unrestrained force, combined with any resentment they held against the Emperor, is believed to have led to the Nika riots of 532 C.E. Similarly, it was rare for the two factions to begin working together in this manner and for them to militarise, both of which added to the severity of the uprising.

As a warden that plays the class in pvp and pve as a healer and dps and have been playing this class since the day it came out, I couldn't be more happier with what they are doing right now. I feel like players are outraged about change but that's it, with scribing, there are other burst heals if necessary, and if you really want the heal, just take the other morph. We had a buff of 5% damages from the netch since last patch, we also now have more damage as a whole with the change done to piercing cold (thank god we don't have to play with the ice staff anymore) and no, that doesn't mean we should not use it, it just allow us to play other weapons as we see fit, for once do what you want with what you want to use, if you play warden and not arcanist in pve you're gonna be behind in dps anyway. But the point is, keep in mind that if what you miss is the 12% buff for ice staff we have at the moment, remember that we will have an 8% buff for all damage (under 30k hp) WITH the 5% buff of the netch we had in the previous patch that wasn't there before. Wardens will only do better from here as they can simply use other weapons to deal damage or keep the frost staff, since you're gonna do the same damage as before anyway. And not gonna lie, if in solo you used Arctic blast for heals, you were missing on the real heals the class can do, as usual, players will learn to like this patch and follow the "new meta" that comes up every three month without testing new sets and skills by themselves. Drop your master's frost staff for a second it's gonna be alright, it was necessary and WILL be for the best (although 30k as a limit is low but we'll see).

43 update is all crap. All new buffs useless.43 is a big nerf gaslit as a buff balance.

Rip PVP once again the average classes are getting nerfed while the op ones are still as op. Necro changes aren't gonna make a big differences since it's on abilities that aren't very usable or it gives buffs that you could get another way
