Necro Re-Work, Undeath Gutted & Warden Nerfed! Big Combat Changes In Update 43

[@Cooperharley0204]

Week 1 PTS Patch Notes: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/662078/pts-patch-notes-v10-1-0#latest

[@danhensley]

Necro changes are a good start, but not enough. They still need a sticky dot and longer/permanent summons.

[@networknomad5600]

Not only longer summons, MORE summons.

[@alexlupinski9968]

as a frost warden main, im legit scared, let's hope they gonna do some workaround with this..

[@AbyssWolve]

Frost warden here too, big sad on this front 😪

[@MrThekingoflord]

They won't unfortunatly

[@samuraichicken2315]

Stamden here. We no longer exist in the minds of the combat devs.

[@QbanY1]

What they did to icestaff warden is awful

[@Cooperharley0204]

Luckily it's just week 1! I'm sure there will be a workaround for this (hopefully?).

[@shturmoney]

ZOS please do not make this change… I came from WoW and found love in the ability to play frost warden. I hope they dont keep this nerf…

[@JR1234567gamer]

The dmg increase was 12% for a frost staff right? I always hated that passive because it really seemed to pigeon hole use frost staff even if you didn't want to because the dmg buff is so high. (Granted it has ZERO dmg utility outside minoe brittle in destro skill line) But is going to 8% from 12% that bad or do you mean more in pvp & some infinite archive builds? @@shturmoney

[@Eeehnamesarehard]

I said i'm going to consider dropping the game if they f with frost, and with eso already not being my main time dump it might just happen.

[@samuraichicken2315]

The problem with dps Warden is that the devs can only think of the Magden with the ice staff. This really stinks because any nerf to a magden gets is multiplied for stamden players.

[@Neverscortch]

I watch you for all my eso news now. I enjoy your channel.

[@Metalmenace_]

I think the idea of passives aligning with stats as an awesome idea

[@jeffreymccambridge9012]

I main Necro and NB and I'm finally seeing changes/updates/reworks that I'm not dreading. It will probably change both my damage and healing rotations but I can live with that, especially for these Necro support reworks I didn't realize Funnel Health wasn't working, I thought it was just weak (which is why I'd taken it out of my healing rotation). I'll have to go experiment before and after the patch

[@Pawsabelle]

i hope people do videos on the necro buffs because not many ppl talking about it for some reason :(

[@Cooperharley0204]

Whatcha mean? :) The necro rework looks pretty phenomenal! Are you referring to actually testing out the stuff on a dummy for instance?

[@Pawsabelle]

@@Cooperharley0204 like making updated builds. I keep trying to find a decent one bar solo build but most of the ones I've seen don't work as well as shown :( or the build itself just doesn't vibe with me or make sense to me like being a magicka based build but using mainly medium armor which makes the recovery really bad x.x but the way they explain it makes it seem like you can sustain it infinitely (just an example) also sorry I've been playing solo sense I started not because I want to but because I don't wanna disappoint people with trying to meet expectations. I wanna heal but all I see is the trial stuff but no one explains what gear to use in order to even obtain the trial gear. (Sorry for a lot of text)

[@Cooperharley0204]

@@Pawsabelle whatever seems the most fun to you is how you should play at the end of the day! Also, given how big of a rework necro is getting here in update 43, I wouldn’t expect any builds at all until all of the changes are live! They’re getting huge buffs that are all pretty exciting so I’m sure you’ll see tons of builds!

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

The ice staff for wardens nerf sucks, but the piercing cold change is actually a buff. My damage jumped on my warden. The arctic blast healing change sucks though. I wish theyd just make the heal smaller but it always goes off and keep the other changes to the skill.

[@marcelgaming1381]

Does this update now mean that the meta now is: Stam + Mag Necromancer, Stamplar, Stam + MagSorc? Seems like those 5 will be the best classes.

[@nestor-martinez]

I say this with every combat update: I suspect the devs just fling poo at the wall in their meeting rooms and see what sticks. 🤡 🤡 💩

[@Dadpoweractivate]

Really hope they rework sheer venom, the way it procs since flail won't proc it no more.

[@KyleJohnson-j6o]

HATE Warden Nerfs. its already a technically challenging class to be powerful with. it should be Stamden buffs, Taking away from Ice wardens hurts the whole game community when you clearly devalue a playstyle the class in centered around

[@Nartsv]

Everybody sad about warden when Templar got gutted in update 35 and never brought back.

[@_invinciScribe_24]

Great start for Necro so far so happy 👍🏾😊 expected more for Templar smh

[@Confused_Slime]

YES FINALLY MY BOY GOT A NICE HANDFULL OF BUFFS

[@Cyril_Elwood]

People are freaking out about the den changes for no reason. The ice staff nerf doesnt mean anything because the 8% damage done increase from all sources and or weapons is op asf

[@ジョジョさま]

Veiled Strike needs to stay in shadow. It procs shadow barrier.

[@marcelgaming1381]

I find it a bit strange that daedric curse can be blocked from an RP perspective. Why can something that makes your body explode from inside be blocked when the dmg happens inside your organs and under your skin making your body blow up? It's the same like blocking poison damage, this totally kills immersion. Hahahah weird from RP perspective.

[@jay-qp8ug]

Devs killing the game off slowly. Whole guilds quitting eso lol

[@wasteland-werewolf]

People say this every single patch lol.

[@WolfheartArt]

Yo I love that hairstyle is that in crown store?

[@Cooperharley0204]

I think it was a while ago! Not currently as far as I know unfortunately. I wish they’d keep stuff like that in the store permanently - or god forbid actually add a barber in game 🤣

[@paintballpreppertmvawomani1341]

The nerfs only hurt legit players You cannot tank 15 people That person is cheating..

[@paintballpreppertmvawomani1341]

Beyond death passes only gives you 30% when you're in execute You're taking 25% more damage from an execute With 3rd you're only getting a 5% reduction

[@Cyril_Elwood]

You underestimate how bad most pvp zerglings are

[@jesseleeshoemakerjr5461]

Reaaly getting tired of being conned into buying chapters. We all bought Necrom because Arcanists were a cool new class. Now they clearly hate Arcanists and theyre slowly nerfing them into the toilet... but they already have our money. They do this every year... pay attention, they're buffing scribing skills to sell the chapter, next year they'll nerf it to trash. I couldnt care less about the heal adjustment, but nerfing flail AGAIN is taking damage from the class that already doesnt hit nearly as hard as sorcs and templars. If they wanted to balance the morphs they only needed to buff dread and leave flail alone.

[@gunarsbudris]

Hope they keep warden changes! Relying only on frost stuff is stupid... This ruins pvp part, so hope they do something about that.

[@fourme7]

warden since vvardenfell came out here, it's a buff, and a clear one, I just don't get why are people so scared of a change that litteraly allow their class to be more diverse, and by diverse I mean anything that isn't an ice staff. Try the patch before leaving the game or before screaming on top of every roofs that your class has been nerfed to the ground, just try a build, or a way of playing your class that was not made by someone else for once, try something new you made yourself and you'll see that there are still a LOT of ways to play this class after that patch pve AND pvp. Also, arctic blast did not lose any dps, the heal will just be harder to proc, that suck, but it's not the end of the world. Embrace change, especially when it's so good for wardens. 30k is too low tho, this sucks but it's not the end of the world, pushing this to 35k would make this the best warden buff possible.

[@davidb3155]

Christ, just give blastbones an automatic recast like haunting curse has so its one less skill necros need to micromanage

[@kidneykid77]

Woohoo time to dust of my stamcro!

[@brandonamsler9898]

The warden changes are awful 😭
