  • General
    • Fixed an issue that could cause pet health bars not to appear.
    • Updated the visibility of the highlight effect that Crux spending abilities have when at 3 Crux to make them stand out more.
    • Bonuses that increase your damage done to monsters will now also apply their effects to proc-based damage.
    • While grouped, you can no longer leave an instanced area while in combat.
    • Fixed an issue where targets hit by displacement effects while stealthed or invisible could fail to be revealed in some cases.
  • Arcanist
    • Herald of the Tome
      • Abyssal Impact: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs did not cause you to unsheathe your weapons on cast.
    • Curative Runeforms
      • Fixed an issue where this skill line leveled faster than other skill lines.
    • Apocryphal Gate
      • Passage Between Worlds (morph): Fixed an issue where the synergy from this morph failed to act as casting a synergy for many item sets and other proc-based events.
  • Dragonknight
    • Ardent Flame
      • Combustion: Reduced the damage bonus this passive provides to Burning and Poisoned status effects to 12/33%, down from 25/50%.
    • Draconic Power
      • Dragon Blood
        • Green Dragon Blood (morph):
          • This morph now also adds a small Heal over Time, lasting 5 seconds and scaling off your Max Health (~3% per tick).
          • This morph no longer increases the duration of effects by 1 second for every rank but rather ranks up the healing done of the healing over time.
      • Dragon Leap: Fixed an issue where this ability could be cast on swimming targets, resulting in some extreme tomfoolery.
  • Necromancer
    • Grave Lord
      • Frozen Colossus:
        • Reduced the cost of this Ultimate and its morphs to 175, down from 225.
        • Increased the damage per hit of all versions by approximately 11%.
      • Pestilent Colossus (morph): This morph now also always guarantees the Diseased status effect on each hit.

    • Assassination:
      • Death Stroke
        • Incapacitating Strike (morph): Fixed a VERY old and very annoying bug where the special version of this Ultimate could fail to be activated in some cases where your Ultimate cost was being affected by bonuses or penalties that changed the original 120 Ultimate cost requirement for the Stun. The tooltip, animations, and ability cast will now always update their cost and activation phases when you meet their augmented cost values.
      • Grim Focus:
        • This ability and its morphs no longer need to be activated to generate stacks, as they will now generate stacks any time you meet their original requirements simply with the ability slotted on either bar.
        • Increased the cost of the special activate to 1890, up from 1350, to make up for the fact that you no longer need to activate the buff portion of these abilities.

        • Updated the tooltips to mention that fully charged Heavy Attacks grant double stacks.

          • Relentless Focus (morph):
            • This morph now increases the amount of Weapon and Spell Damage each stack grants to 80 at rank IV, rather than increasing the duration of the buff, since the buff no longer has a duration.
            • This morph now costs 1377 rather than 1148.
    • Shadow
      • Shadow Cloak: This ability and the Shadowy Disguise morph now also grant Major Savagery and Prophecy for slotting on either bar to help them offer more functionality outside of PvP and to ensure the abilities still offer something when they are being countered.
      • Dark Cloak (morph): This morph now swaps the Major Savagery and Prophecy to Minor Protection for slotting on either bar rather than granting it for 10 seconds after casting the ability.
  • Sorcerer
    • Daedric Summoning
      • Bound Armor:
        • This ability and its morphs now grant their passive bonuses on both bars while slotted, rather than only the bar they are actively slotted on.
        • This ability and the Bound Aegis morph now passively grant their Minor Protection while slotted rather than for a duration after casting.
        • Increased the base Max Magicka granted to 8% at rank IV of the base ability, rather than having each morph rank up to 8% separately.
          • Bound Armaments (morph):
            • This ability no longer needs to be activated to be eligible to generate Bound Weapons, and instead will generate a Bound Weapon whenever you Light or Heavy Attack with the ability slotted on either bar.
            • The ability activation now requires you to have at least 1 Bound Weapon active and, additionally, highlights when you have all 4 Bound Weapons active for improved clarity.
            • Fully charged Heavy Attacks now also grant two Bound Weapons rather than 1.
            • Fixed an issue where you could generate Bound Weapons while using Mend Wounds or its morphs.
    • Storm Calling
      • Overload: Fixed an issue where this Ultimate and its morphs would not remove their toggle when you no longer had the cost necessary to activate a Light or Heavy Attack from them.
  • Templar
    • Dawn’s Wrath
      • Backlash: Fixed an issue where this ability and morphs’ visual effects did not fade when the caster died, despite the effect ending.
  • Warden
    • Animal Companions
      • Swarm
        • Growing Swarm (morph): Fixed an issue where this morph would remove itself when the caster died, unlike the other two versions of the ability.
    • Green Balance
      • Living Vines: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs’ cast could return as Area of Effect abilities.
  • Weapon
    • Bow
      • Long Shots:
        • This passive now increases your damage done by 2/5% against enemies within 15 meters of you and increases your Critical Chance by 657/1314 against enemies that are further than 15 meters from you, rather than increasing your damage done with Bow attacks by 6/12% based on how far away you are.

    • Destruction Staff
      • Ancient Knowledge
        • Flame Staff: This passive now increases your damage done by the initial hit of status effects by 250/500, rather than increasing single target damage done by 5/10%.

      • Tri Focus
        • Flame Staff: This passive now applies a Damage over Time equal to the power of a standard Damage over Time effect over 10/20 seconds with a fully charged Heavy Attack, rather than increasing the damage done of your fully charged Heavy Attacks by 6/12%

        • Lightning Staff: This passive now only triggers on fully charged Heavy Attacks rather than any tick of a Heavy Attack.
      • Wall of Elements: Fixed an issue where the damage shield granted from Wall of Frost and its morphs could stack with other morphs’ damage shields. The exception to this is that Unstable Wall of Frost’s smaller shield when it denotates, will stack with all versions, as it is a new functionality and considered a different shield. The rules will follow Obsidian Shield, where the latest applied Shield will always remove the previous version.
    • Dual Wield
      • Twin Blade and Blunt: Reduced the bonuses on this passive to ensure it is in line with other adjustments being made to weapon passives.

        • Swords now grant 129/258 Weapon and Spell Damage, down from 142/284.
      • Follow Up: This passive now increases your damage done with all two-handed attacks by 5/10% for 4 seconds after completing a fully charged Heavy Attack, rather than increasing the damage of your next direct damage by 10% after completing a fully charged Heavy Attack.
  • Guild
    • Psijic Order
      • Concentrated Barrier: Fixed an issue where this passive’s damage shield would not properly recharge over time.
  • World
    • Vampire
      • Mist Form: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs failed to animate their cast animations properly. This will result in a very slight delay in moving your character, as the abilities were intended to have.

The bonus damage to your Two Handed attacks is increased by 11.16% of the higher of your Weapon or Spell Damage.
  • Crafted Sets
    • Coldhardbour’s Favorite: Fixed an issue where the heal from this set did not have the normal healing target cap of 6.

The Elder Scrolls Online

ESO, short for The Elder Scrolls Online, is an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Launched in April 2014, the game is available for both Windows and macOS platforms. As part of the beloved Elder Scrolls series, ESO takes place in the expansive continent of Tamriel and presents a unique storyline loosely connected to the other games in the franchise.

The game underwent a seven-year development process, initially adopting a mandatory monthly subscription model. Upon release, it garnered a mixed reception from critics and players alike.

The Elder Scrolls Online Gameplay

The gameplay in The Elder Scrolls Online offers a mostly non-linear experience, combining quests, random events, and the freedom to explore the world at will.[8] While the game does not feature an offline single-player mode, the developers have ensured that there is ample content available for solo play in the online environment.[9]

Players have the option to choose from ten distinct races, including humans such as Nords, Redguards, Bretons, and Imperials (with separate purchase). Elvish races include Dunmer (Dark Elves), Altmer (High Elves), Bosmer (Wood Elves), and Orsimer (Orcs). The bestial races consist of Khajiit and Argonians.

When creating a character, players can select one of seven classes: Dragonknight, Sorcerer, Nightblade, Templar, Warden, Necromancer, or Arcanist. Each class offers a unique set of attacks, spells, and passive effects. Furthermore, the game provides additional character choices beyond race and class. For instance, players have the opportunity to become either a vampire or a werewolf, each granting access to its own skill tree.

Additionally, there are seven different crafting skill lines available, including Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Clothier, Enchanting, Woodworking, Provisioning, and Jewelry Crafting.
