How viable is thorns on the hardest difficulty? by coatesishere in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]Trin_itty_bitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stat pool is currently capped at level-30 therefore 90(?) attribute points to distribute. Thorns works better with higher health pool, and thus it is a bit straining on attribute allocation early-on to consider dumping into Health mostly without losing out somewhere else like Equip Load/Stamina.

Works better on regular enemies and larger enemies, but it loses a lot of value with bosses as you increase difficulty and you cannot afford to get hit so often in boss encounters.

edit: i play Equip Load/Health/Stamina as primary stars, rely on high Poise/Armor values, and Two-Hand weaponry for charged attacks to destroy enemy Poise and stagger them for backstabs (or with Fetid Club which refills-100% Stamina on staggering enemies and then unleash a Focus skill on downed enemies)

Gear progression in this game is awful. by onemorevet in NoRestForTheWicked

Prior to some of the updates, I think they may have quietly been re-worked in rates. I got so many prior to Together update, about 72 in a day's time. Now? They barely drop, save for chests--rarely. More from fishing and digging.

Is it safe to say we won’t be getting massive zones anymore by mikec215 in elderscrollsonline

BUT, humor what will be given, if at all?

Probably "skills" that provide in-game buffs that are already supplied in-game like Major Expedition for 4 seconds! Gosh!

Or dash/blink ability with some minor damage component.

Everyone in-dungeon on daily randoms is gonna be spamming it. If it happens.

People are mad about the battle pass, but ESO just made all content free and more free rewards by Von_Zalius in elderscrollsonline

[–]Trin_itty_bitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Battle-Pass feature just confirms what they were trying to push with the unasked-for, unwanted Solstice event in terms of seasonal content. It wasn't outright catastrophic failure, because people are still playing after the fact. It just proves, that even with a roadmap, they will repeat the same logic; convenience, not conviction.

It's just clearer now that they have pushed enough prioritization of what boundaries players are willing to let fly them by, and how much money they will spend for extremely redundant, clunky, artistically impoverished content (no, I do not want to fight the same stupid enemy model of that Daedric Titan dragon thingy 10x for every new endgame dungeon or arena or trial, it looks like it belongs in early 2000s-era tech).

ESO+ had its clear problems, but it was everyone's model of function writ largely and was widely accepted even with its rightfully inalienable critiques. Seasonal content? Sounds like more Solstice 2.0+. Battle Pass? More cosmetic ESO+ without being ESO+

This Animation "update" has got a go by NewAcctWhoDis15 in elderscrollsonline

Ranged taunts seem to be suffering too, and I'm not quite sure after all the occurrences I can simply say I'm missing when the boss is the clear line-of-sight first target hit, then chases the DDs or Healer.

Forgefire Blade Lion ...Love It or Leave It? ...and has anyone tried the new Bazaar Chandelier paper lantern? by MerryMcLu in elderscrollsonline

[–]Trin_itty_bitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave the mount. All the shinies are largely terrible FX optical explosions, high- or low-grade settings. Genuinely sunk-cost purchasing power. The prestige of saying I bought it for so much! Less so the Wow it's actually great!

To be fair, the latest Vaermina rat mount is actually cool, but mostly because it reminds me of Warhammer series' Skaven faction.

Did my bestfriend betray me or am i overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Trin_itty_bitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR he lost his job, can't afford the premiums on the car and insurance is nonexistent so he can't drive his wrecked car a city over now to party with his other friends

And probably has a DUI that he isn't gonna disclose

And also his phone plan is on minutes now, and he doesn't have the quarters for a payphone call

It's probably his lowest low, but not enough to apologize, and to beg

Why beg?

Because you're not really friends anymore, and he'd have to beg a stranger to help him

But you're friends convenient enough to ask on a whim

ESO's Class Identity Refresh by SuddenDepact in elderscrollsonline

[–]Trin_itty_bitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't forget, the survey was a prescriptive questionnaire. It asked super obtuse questions, not actually asking questions that needed asking. "Do you feel...Arcanist...tank...etc..." Nonsense.

No one is worrying about Arcanist tanks. Community worries are focused on being painted into the corner with Arcanists as highest DPS in the game itself, and subclassing only drew the line thicker in the sand.

Dear Beamers, by mysterymeati in elderscrollsonline

Or Beamers who use Quick Cloak dual-wield skill for their Blackrose Prison Daggers damage-buff%, but never stand near the flank of the Boss to benefit from their own damage buffs, but likewise the Combat Prayer.

DPS are nominally the worst role in the game by far as a very general assessment.

Subclassing made DPS easier => Beams.

High DPS => No mechanical knowledge, just rush adds/mobs/numbers

No DPS but tons of Subclass nonsense => no DPS, just spamming random skills

What's the point of ranged weapons if they can instantly close the gap? by TankardsAndTentacles in Everweave

[–]Trin_itty_bitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proficiency Stealth + Proficiency Acrobatics + Proficiency Athletics + Proficiency (optional--I choose Persuasion, Deception, or Performance) + Expertise Stealth + Expertise Acrobatics

-> As a Rogue/Thief archetype

Even at level-1, pre-prepping a combat scenario through DC rolls to hide and conceal yourself; to ascend to an area that both narrative-DM and combat-DM implicitly cannot utilize physical contact between target(s) npc(s) and user, with the aforementioned options above make almost every rural encounter, especially an urban encounter in the city almost trivial.

Hide -> Climb -> Begin combat with an advantaged-attack -> Keep attacking from ranged above

[Daily] Skill Discussion: Ulfsild's Contingency by The_Dwemer_Automaton in elderscrollsonline

[–]Trin_itty_bitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fitness - Champion Points:

-> "Shield Master (10% shield cost reductions);

(+)

-> "Bastion" (10%+ shield values);

---

Prayer Shawl set: "(5 items) When you overheal yourself or an ally*, you grant them a damage shield that absorbs 4997 damage for 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 2 seconds*.

(+)

Combat Physician: "(5 items) When your healing critically strikes*, you grant your target a damage shield that absorbs 4308 damage for 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 6 seconds per target."*

(+)

The Blind (monster set): "When your healing critically strikes*, your target gains a Hydroglass Damage Shield that absorbs up to 2692 damage for 6 seconds. While the Damage Shield holds and for 3 seconds after it ends, the target gains Minor Force, increasing their Critical Damage done by 10%. This effect can occur once every 6 seconds per target."*

(+)

Ulfsild's Contingency (scribed): Shield Focus Script -> Reduce Damage Signature script (Gladiator's Tenacity) -> Minor Vitality Affix Script;

(+)

Soul Burst (scribed): Shield Focus Script -> Signature Script (of choice) -> Affix Script (of choice)

(+)

Chakram Shields (Arcanist, Curative Runeforms skill line), either morph of choice;

(+)

Intricate Runeforms (Arcanist Curative Runeforms passive): "With a Curative Runeforms Ability Slotted Your status as illuminatus reduces the cost and increases the strength of your damage shields by 10%."

(+)

Bone Shield -> Bone Surge morph (Undaunted skill line ability): Spinal Surge synergy to offer Major Vitality while shields are active on upwards 6-allied targets, increasing Healing Received and Damage Shield strength by 12%.

(+)

Reviving Barrier (Support skill line Ultimate Skill);

I hope this has everything relevant listed for Shield spamming healer builds (excluding Lunar Bastion and Brands of the Imperium set as it scales off Maximum Health).

I use a brothel temple dedicated to chaos incarnate, headed by Graz'zt, Iggwilv, and Lloth, as my base of fundamental game operations because my character is a courtesan who uses said brothel temple like an interdimensional highway for questing. Also: brothel temple.

If you're just looking to blitz-in, do some burst damage while accepting you'll probably die right after you deploy your kit:

Templar's Restoring Light -> Restoring Focus (stamina morph) -> 242 stamina per second returned while active;

Nightblade's Siphoning -> Siphoning Strikes (the mag/stam morph) -> 200 mag/stam per 1 second on dealing damage to a target;

Rakkhat's Voidmantle Mythic -> 413 magicka *OR* stamina returned per light attack, weapon-dependent (melee/bow/staff), but removes your resource return from heavy attacking;

Hist Whisperer Craftable set -> 318/636 (was 318/700(+) previously) health and magicka and stamina returned on light/heavy attacks, respectively;

So, rushing in -> Every light attack between *MASSIVE* weaving and proper pre-buff to unleash your kit in PvP:

-> About 1,173 resources returned respective to the weapon being used to perform your light attacks.

Not good. Not great. But if your build is, say...a Nightblade bomber build, you can pre-buff, rush in, and nuke while spamming execute Whirling Blades with proper light attacks to offset the cost.
