yes slow down the gear grind to first fully level scrying and excavating on ur new account so you can get the mythic for level 5 of whatever just for it to become irrelevant instantly
@@deswill2737 i mean i'm at CP 1600 but if i make a new character, i would have to upgrade my full sets every 5-10 levels because the items become absolete. if the stats don't matter and i get a flat 20% damage reduction and 20% damage increase, i don't have to worry about that.
As a Nightblade main for solo arenas, I do Vet maelstrom arena competitively on console and this change to concealed weapon will absolutely ruin high end score pushing for night blade in solo content. As its already at the bottom of the tier list in trials. I don't think people realize that this Concealed weapon change is a very significant nerf to night blade in PVP AND PVE, so right now in the current patch concealed weapon Procs Major Berserk buffing every source of damage by 10% basically we lose 10% to every source of damage for one skill to hit 10% harder. I liked how they buffed Incap but the concealed weapon change is SO uncalled for. Nightblade DPS is already at such a bad spot that they are completely black balled from any high end 12-man raid and only viable in solo content at this point. It's SO crazy how Blade is being nerfed more than the most BROKEN class in the game obviously being Arcanist which is about 20x more powerful than NB atm. I would highly appreciate if concealed weapons proc conditions could be changed back to how they were in (Scribes of Fate) where it would proc off of having major expedition up and being in combat. Or just leave it the same as how it is in the current patch and buff concealed weapons damage by a certain %. It's just a shame how unbalanced the game is at this point.
@MISOFOREVERRR elite 1% lol it more like the elite 80% know with the amount off peoole who have 5 or more trifectas know due to arcs hitting so high with such ez. They all complained bout oakensoul being broken. Look what we have know everyone i see is a godslayer and turned completely toxic is the reason why i left this game
Dude you'll barely notice the change just like every other change ZoS has made. You got to understand when these patch notes come out streamers take advantage of the negative press they can generate so they can maximize clicks and revenue. This game has gone through so many changes and yet the damage ceiling keeps getting higher and higher. You're not getting nerfed, you're not going to all the sudden not do damage. You'll be totally 100% fine.
What additional sources of bleed damage? Gear sets. If you look at barbed trap in a vacuum, sure, it's getting nerfed. But the status effect changes as a whole, taking into account all elements of build synergy, i think we might finally see some variety in top tier builds
Glad to see you immediately honing in on the justification for the Fatecarver nerf making absolutely no sense. Ry posted some parses on Skinnys discord and got 125k on his second parse, with beam damage being 37.8% of the parse for 47210 dps. Pre patch on their 130k parse beam was 39.1% of the parse and accounted for 50876 dps. So the needle hasn't moved massively but the issue is, as ever, with ZoS' lack of direction for the game. I feel like ZoS has opened a big can of worms with Arcanist, I would really like to see ZoS talk a bit about their balance philosophy (so we can tear it apart) specifically with regards to low apm vs high apm damage floors/ceilings and single target vs cleave vs aoe with respect to ESOs limited skill slots/limited skill swapping capabilities because I think the biggest impact that Arcanist has had is that it can do AoE as well as it can single target with far greater reach than typical AoE/Cleaving options which in many actual encounter scenarios gives the class a large innate advantage over everything else irrespective of how anyone feels about how build difficulty should affect DPS potential. There's no easy fix for this.
Needs damage falloff on the beam, 100% on first enemy and 15% less on each one behind and so on. The fact we can just monkey brain on prio targets in a mob is just sad.
@@Janinghamthe philosophy they followed when they nerfed necro (and templars) back then was a big ass hammer, just one patch and classes were killed. Now they make changes being carefull, but since then, necro in general and templars are useless (well templar is just beamplar because the only good thing they have is an execute so you depends on others to be able to do something).
It really didn't need to be nerfed for pve. Its not even ranked that high for dps and already has weaknesses with how several spells always use the lowest resource pool. Idk ive been running magicka and using the stam tenticles too. Need to try the magicka version which eliminates every other beam
Nerfing Tormentor makes my Templar Tank MUCH less viable. I mean, that was the whole draw of the build. I wouldn't even want to play tank if that change goes through. With what they said about not wanting aoe taunting, I don't think it's coming to scribing either.
Why would you believe anything ZOS says? They're a for-profit company, devoid of ethics, like all of their peers. Of course AOE-taunts will come to scribe. Removing it from base-game, long in advance, is just to avoid some of the pay-wall-hate they'll get later on when they do.
I am new to ESO and MMOs in general and no matter which one I tried - they all felt bloated with features, content, many different item types etc... As a pretty new player I am REALLY excited about these repair kit and siege repair instruments changes. That is an appropriate direction in my opinion that is necessary for game that exists for a long period of time and got overgrown with many little things and details that needs to be cleaned up. These changes lead towards more enjoyable and "easy-to-use and understand" experience for players especially for newcomers like me which is very important in MMO genre. I could only hope that developers manage to clean up some other stuff and bloat in game in the future with such a great quality of life improvements.
I like listening to your videos, chap, when you do news videos for ESO, but do you have to have the alerts on? It means that we can't hear what you're saying and miss your thoughts. Not a criticism, just some feedback for you.
Windows 7 dropped, but when will they drop the ancient old generation consoles? If they can just get people to upgrade their consoles to slightly more recent hardware... Imagine housing slots with 1000+ items. Textures, dungeons environments all with so much more than just iterations of the same graphics resources(because of the older consoles). Polygon counts etc... -OMG, so much possibilities just getting rid of stone age hardware.
Ive made too many comments throughout this video but stalking blastbones is my favorite part of necro DPS 😢 I love sending that missile out, when they run away it hurts even more.
It's bitter sweet. Blastbones is the best part of playing Necro. Coolest ability and hardest hitting. The rest of their offensive kit sucks. But the change is good I think. You can still use stamina morph if you want the old style. But the new stalking blastbones changes buff necros other class abilities by 20%. Which is insane. So Necro skull spammable may finally be viable, damage over time builds are going to be really good. This isn't the class changes I wanted for necro. But it's going to make Necro stronger and more competitive with other classes
@@spideysense1847 it's only for grave lord abilities right now. So like the the Skeletal Mage and Shocking Siphon skills will be the only skills that Necromancers use that are effected. I think it should just boost the damage and healing effect of Necromancer abilities and DoT effects. That would be nice. Though I don't really like the change overall, and feel like the blastbone's targeting is wacky most of the time.
I guess they wanted to incentivise using blue tentacle slap with Writhing Runeblades that can have comparable damage to Fatecarver, but even if beam gonna do less damage people still gonna use it due to insane cleave and ease of use. Runeblades rotation also have quite dogwater sustain.
Imo i do hope zos will change the 10% mag for active pets and make it (10% to your max resource for active pets) cause i personally love the pet play style and run it on my stam sorc both in pve and pvp
I think the mythic is a nice step in the direction for class balancing, you just put this one on every class and then compare what they can do and how they perform in pvp against each other
This mythic is laughable, it has no use cases whatsoever. You dont get 20% of anything when you lose your gear stats. You also can't make the argument its for new players because then they need to get a dlc and go through the scrying leveling process on a new account???
I already made a similar comment on another channel's video on it but just gonna spread it out. (because why not) I don't think the changes to Blastbones is going to change anything about the class and its problems. but hey that's just me. I really think the class itself needs an overhaul...especially the Grave Lord Skill line. In short, I think the Blastbones should just work like the Warden's Scorch ability. You summon spikes made out of bones from the ground. It will still create a corpse when finished. The magic morph could have an execute on it, while the Blighted Blastbones still does the disease and major defile on the enemy. No more clunky targeting, just positioning yourself to deal damage. Avid Boneyard is kinda pointless with the harmony changes in the past. Like why activate your own synergy without Harmony? So let's make it "Chilling Boneyard" and make it deal increase damage and its radius. Change the way Shocking Siphon works and rename it (Grave Lord's Cloak sounds good to me) and it should act like a normal cast ability. It summons an AOE effect around that deals shock damage and having it slotted gives you major prophecy and savagery. Consuming a corpse increase your damage done by 3% for the duration of the effect. It's morphs would work similar to how they do now. Detonating Siphon could be "Reaper's Cloak" or something like that. It deals disease damage and once the effect ends you explode dealing more disease damage around you. Mystic Siphon is just Mystic Cloak and does the same thing increasing your recovery by 200. Now for passives. Reusable Parts will probably need a rework. I think making it where when you consume a corpse your weapon and spell damage is increased by 200 for 10 seconds. While Death Gleaning just removes the need for a skill to be slotted; just a little help for the Necromancer Werewolves out there in Tamriel. I think these changes would greatly improve the combat ability of the necromancer and actually put it up there with the other classes while giving it a theme of using corpses to increase it's power and using them for their own means like a Necromancer would.
That guaranteed sundered from tarnish nightmare will be even better with sunder giving you weapon and spell DMG also now with this update. That set might be cracked, I dunno.
im interested to give the blastbones change a go but i hope they change some of the other necro abilities instead. like this sac bones should have replaced the floating skull ability and been a buff to blastbones. the grave grasp ability, skulls and totem need a rework more than the most used necro ability. but I hope it works
Are they changing how they monetize the game? genuine question Edit: Given how much talk there is about ZoS' lack of direction when it comes to balancing in the comments, probably not, as if they still cannot balance the game, they're not gonna reevaluate and redo the monetization the overlap in the grievances and failed attempts at solutions between ESO and D2 are becoming more and more of a circle with each day both companies need to pull their heads out of their collective asses and start actually listening to the player base while also cutting back on the monetization
I mean if all you do is watch videos on RU-vid there's always going to be a negative vibe. I've been playing the game since it came out and for me personally I think the game is in one of its best states it's ever been in. I'm having a ton of fun playing it and things seem balanced, there is no monetization if you don't want it to be. What do you need to buy in the crown store? What do you have to get? Hell I just got one of my most favorite mounts through endeavors, all of that was free. 😊
NB got big nurf coz concealed weapon's damage bonus affect only concealed weapon itsself rather than major bersek😢 NB need more love otherwise we'll lost spot as DPS.
You and your chat are missing the whole thing on the mythic. It's actually op. You get damage, damage, mitigation, and healing all from one piece. And 20% ain't no joke. Then, you don't have to have any other 5 piece set, which gives you room for more of whatever you want. Because you can add more pieces without the 5 peice bonuses. Idk I feel like if you build it right, it can be pretty strong and not have a cooldown. It'll just be a constant bonus and potentially a lot of resources of whatever you want.
Ive out of curiosity parsed in the nude, and i gain WAY more than 20% soo i dont like that. Sure there are still armor skill lines, skill passives, and enchantments but.. i dont think so. I'll have to try in PTS first before i even consider lead farming.
So many heavy armor sets are not actually good for a tank that is actually good, I enjoy the idea of survivability sets but It's simply not worth slotting over buffs and debuffs.
Nefas, welcome back? I may be out of the loop, but I saw the video where you said you were moving away from ESO content. I thought you said you were no longer going to go over patch notes. Maybe I misunderstood, but either way I'm glad to see you. Even as a console player I value your insight. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. The puppy is very cute!
I honestly god had no problem with any of these changes Accept for the torment set change Why it's not like in a Normal veteran dlc Dungeon I'm looking at the big guy and just tanting him NO! I'm running around spamming pierce armor And taunting everything Why even bother this set wtf Who was complaining About this set
There's only one change I want to see: PvP class-balance. And they're doing the opposite, it seems. Cause we all know Sorc isn't strong enough yet, right? Or maybe it's just the weakest of their favorites, so it needs a buff, when compared to the other classes that matter. Meanwhile take away an attack from Necro, cause they're not shitty enough yet, right? Don't be fooled; the change to Blastbones is just a way to put another button-press between the Necro and dealing damage. "We're trying to simplify your rotation" (by padding it out even further?). And a 10 sec buff? Fuck right off with that shit. Meanwhile the standard of 20-ish seconds feels too short to be worthwhile. And the favorite classes get a few buffs that last 30+ sec. Nice to see Arcanist nerfs. But those come as no surprise. As soon as it's not part of the latest paid content there's no longer any need to keep it deliberately OP, as some other PTW element will naturally be taking it's place. The change to DK's Combustion passive is SO TELLING of how things really are in ESO PvP. _"For too long have burning and poisoned reigned supreme among weapon glyphs! But no longer!!!"_ (except for DKs; theirs will be buffed via this sneaky lil passive change. hehehe!) And why the fuck don't all sources of type-specific damage have a chance to inflict the status effect of their type? For example, dealing poison damage (by any-&-all means) should have a (HIGH) chance to inflict the poisoned status effect. Instead there're all these convoluted rules about how status effects are applied. If you aren't infected with a disease or effected by a poison, _HOW THE FUCK DID IT HURT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE?_ Did the poison hurt your _feelings?_ The Tormentor set change is complete garbage. RIP base-game AOE-taunts. This set was the only bandage we could place over the gaping wound which is this game's complete lack of a proper agro system (unless you count healers, who for some reason generate huge amounts of agro). Looks like my six tank toons will be shelved. Thanks ZOS; for making yet another aspect of this game feel unrewarding. And they can shove their "core philosophies for tanking" right up their ass. What they really mean is that stripping this AOE-taunt from the base-game is part of their plan to lock AOE-taunts behind a pay-wall. That is just sooo scummy. I for one will not be buying this next chapter. Nor will I spend one cent more on a game that is failing by design; Plus canceled. I hope Microsoft guts ZOS.
Imagine buying a brand new V8 mustang, you love it, it goes so fast. Then 6 months into owning it the dealership comes by and sticks a 4 banger in there. This is exactly what these lazy arse devs do. PVP/PVE should have sep stats, bring every class up to OP level of arcan, its PVE, let us feel like gods, the game is a decade old, reward those players who pay your bills. They have the data to know everyone enjoyed the arcan. Its so stupid ppl are like: aw shucks another 4 banger! I hate it when they do that.
Lol the government and many large companies dont upgrade to newer versions of windows specifically because the security risks are lower due to more time spent securing them.
Omg wtf. If you remove all set bonuses you have literally 20% of nothing. The only thing i can see using it for is leveling up to 50 without worrying about armor
Elite 1% turned into the elite 80% of toxicity due to arcanist..Everyone i see know has multiple trifectas i see godslayer everywere know like its just a common title..Even pb is more out there know ever since arcanist came out..people complained about oakensoul ha sorc being broken n op LOL look what we have know a even more broken class which is just as easy to hit 95k with as oakensoul was but with way more potential..even some off ny old groups i used to play with started with the elitist style aditudes reason why i choose to take time away from the game
@@choonblaze oh you can... it just going to hit hard against someone using oakensoul. Though not sure if it will be an actual problem... depends on how many people use it.
They removed the one thing I've enjoyed about housing which I only discovered a month ago. Way to ruin a game lmao, well at least that saved me a couple hundred dollars on housing and thousands of hours of playtime. I'm glad I didn't pre order Gold Road as I'm unlikely to touch this game after Update 41 :)
@@o0mystogan0o hidden in the patch notes, they removed the ability to go outside invisible walls with a PC method. "Fixed an issue where you could break out of the intended play space by using specific combat abilities." That was literally my main source of entertainment since I discovered it. I'm only mad because I only got to do it for a month while some other people had the luxury of doing it for almost 5 years! With that ability being removed, I won't be buying my dream houses (at least 3 houses worth total of 36k crowns) and have nothing to look forward to. Feels like I've wasted a lot of money already so I won't be wasting more this year, not buying Gold Road or whatever newer chapters. Funny enough, my ESO+ ends just before U41 :)
Basically arcanist is dead. A 10k shield every 4.5 secs is a joke and nowhere nere the defenses of every other class in the game…. Why the heck was the damage nerfed it currently has the second lowest dps in the damn game. Sorc was seriously buffed when it’s already the most op in the game. Especially in PvP.
The best class they ever made that was a literal game changer for old and new players is now nerfed. Literally the most fun I had in this game since I started 7 years ago. What a shame.
@@FlashesSoccer011 yep necrom was a short story very low effort the overland felt uninspired and rehash of the same relying on tes3 member beries. I already pre ordered the new chapter. I’ll run my oakensorc build this time around but this is the last time Zos gets any money from me. And mark my words this is 1 of 2 nerfs the second one will be massive
In u43 PvP is gonna be a thing and PvE stuff will be sledgehammered to the ground + death of Arcanist as the worst class in ESO's gaming history 😂 Fatecarver might not cleave anymore or crux bonus nerf or fatecarver does 1 tick per second xd 1 skill nerf required to completely kill this class I would get 1 triple with it right now and then I quit raiding
@@kgm4556 Colossus gets a 15% buff and so do the skull spammables. I think it will make a lot of things viable. I do like blastbones. Don't get me wrong. Hits hard AF
I mean Blastbones was 20-30% of necros damage. 15% buff to colossus, 20% buff to dots, and skulls still isn't going to make up for it 😂 its a nerf no matter how you slice it.
Necros are going to be doing a helluva lot more damage. All of the DoT damage buffs directly benefit them, and they'll be able to up their DoT damage even further with the new blastbones morph.
It’s not really a buff. Corpse system was already meh and now we lost a corpse that would be at the enemies feet that we could tether to or use to boost our Boneyard damage. 20% boost to Grave Lord abilities.. LOL. If they changed some of the other abilities too then it’d be a buff but with how bad the offensive tool kit is, it’s a nerf.
