Theorycraft Thursday - Discuss Builds, Skills, Strategies, and More!

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 04:02 AM PDT

Welcome to Theorycraft Thursday, a community-building, regularly occurring thread in the subreddit!

MMO veterans will know that Theorycrafting is the core of many discussions about this genre of games, and ESO is no different.

With the high level of variance in builds, skills, and stats, there's plenty of room for Theorycrafting, and we want to see what you have to share with the community on that front.

Have a build you've experimented with? A particular skill or set of skills that synergize well? A strategy for PvE or PvP that works to great effect? Share it here!

If you're new, you can also use this thread to ask questions about viable builds and skills as well!

As always, please keep in mind our rules on the sidebar, especially the one about "no personal attacks, callouts, rude behavior, or other such disrespectful content".

Disagree respectfully and know that everyone has different ideas and playstyles that suit them.

[Media] Found a callback to previous games

WHOAH THERE, CORTANA! I said OPEN!

Posted: 28 Apr 2017 01:10 AM PDT

well that only took 3 years...

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 11:16 AM PDT

just finished my last piece of research. joined at launch and didnt focus on crafting research at first but recall starting it like a month later but wasnt perfect on keeping the que full and stopped at 8 traits about a year and a half ago because i was too cheap to spend all that gold on nirn since it was like 20k a piece back in the day. also took a few months off here and there but decided to start researching that final 9 trait nirn since its alot cheaper to buy now.

was also able to farm this last event for motiffs and got them all except ebony,silken and mazzatun which im working on now. feels good to finally have that done and over with.

now the only grind im gonna have to do is my horses for when warden comes out and i buy 2 more slots, 180 days to max that out is gonna suck.

[XBOX] How I choked "Flawless Conqueror"

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 01:39 PM PDT

So I recently beat vMA and was excited to realize that it did actually feel easier after completing it the first time.

I had run it 6 more times since then and was feeling pretty confident that I'd get that sharpened weapon "this time".

I started my 8th run and was flying through it without actually realizing that I hadn't died.

Finally, I had reached Stage 9.

I finished the first Round and saw the 30k bonus added to my score. I then noticed that my vitality bonus was at "15/15".

Man, my nerves shot through the ROOF.

On my 5th, 6th and 7th run, I had easily completed the 9th stage without dying.

Needless to say, my nerves got the best of me and that damn Crematorial Guard killed me.

RIP the dream.

How do Damage and Armor Work?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 08:56 PM PDT

tldr: I'd really appreciate some explanation of the mechanics of doing and taking damage in this game.

So I'm having the hardest time finding a clear explanation of how all the types of damage and resistance in this game interact. It seems like damage can be physical, spell, elemental, and so on—and that you can have physical resistance, spell resistance... all that. It would make sense that having more of these things is better, but when it comes to prioritizing, I just have no idea where to start with it. I'll put some of my more specific questions below, just in case anyone would like to jump at the opportunity to share his/her valuable knowledge—or link me to someone else doing so :).

Is damage directly proportional to how much health a light attack removes from a target? So if I have a weapon with nothing on it but 100 weapon damage, and I hit something with no resistance, does that thing lose 100 health?

For that matter, is the damage of a light attack actually the thing that a 'weapon damage' stat measures? Is it a fully charged heavy attack, or damage per second for light attacks that are cast as fast as the game allows, or... what?

All my apparel comes with a stat called "armor." What is that? Physical and spell resistance, or something proportional to physical and spell resistance...? Since "reinforced" and "nirnhoned" are separate traits for armor, I'm assuming it's neither of those things, but I'm not sure what else it could be.

If I boost my "critical rating," am I boosting my odds of a critical hit, or the damage that a critical hit will do? Also, can any damage-dealing effect crit, or is it only certain kinds of attacks?

I understand that damage resistance is just mitigation of incoming damage, so that having x resistance means taking y% less damage than you would normally have been dealt. How do x and y relate to each-other? Is it just proportional, or is it more complicated?

Does just about everything in the game have some amount of armor, or is that mostly a thing for players, and NPCs just have resistances, or whatever else?

Do any NPCs ever deal critical damage?

There's some point at which having more health becomes more or less beneficial than resisting damage, in terms of keeping me alive while I'm being dealt some constant amount of damage—I'd love to have an equation or something that could help me find that point.

And I know this one isn't technically in the category my title would indicate, but how does health regeneration work? If I have 100 health regeneration, does that mean I gain 100 health per second, or 200 health in 2 second ticks...?

Many thanks for any help you can offer with any of these questions!

Enchanting a VMA weapon.

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 08:41 PM PDT

So after testing with useless vma weapons I had stocked which arent sharpened; I have come to the conclusion that overwriting the enchant on a vma weapon with a new enchant DOES let you keep the spell / weapon damage buff.

-

But, Andy S (who is a person who has multiple characters on the #1 spot in maelstrom leaderboards) has said that you do not keep the spell / wep dmg , and that it is a UI bug in the stats page. Can anyone confirm? Even if it is a UI bug how does it work, do I never see my true spell / wep dmg because of the UI bug? It seems like it still goes through all the multipliers and does indeed increase my spell damage

edit: tested it out like /u/Creakz advised, the spell damage tooltip is bugged, it will show as if you do not lose the spell damage buff, but infact you will. details of the test are in the picture : https://gyazo.com/27e3bc213d30b36f9889ac6fa2e8c94d

[PC] Massive and persistent frame rate drop after getting a new monitor

Posted: 28 Apr 2017 02:28 AM PDT

I recently upgraded my computer and I played ESO for a while on my old monitor but when a new monitor I had ordered arrived I set it up and tried playing ESO and from the character selection screen into the actual game I immediately notice a huge frame rate drop. It's not subtle and never goes away.

A friend suggested I update my drivers and I did to no avail. I tried lowering the graphics and turning off some settings but that didn't fix it. I did some googling, though I found little information.

This is the monitor I purchased https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VRKVGJG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I uploaded a video of the lag in case that is of any interest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RO8-kw7dRE&feature=youtu.be

If this is an easy fix and I just didn't look hard enough... my bad.

[PC]Steam:Game Crashes on launch

Posted: 28 Apr 2017 01:08 AM PDT

Hi guys, So i bought the game on steam and after finishing all the downloads including the launcher download, i press play and it brings me to the login screen then while trying to login the game just crashes each time. I tried playing through the Bethesda launcher and Zossteamstarer but both tell me that i should run the game through the steam client. Was wondering if anyone has faced the same problem and has a fix for my current dilemma.

I found it really hard for me to spot a dead player and to revive them when facing a mess in the dungeon. Is there an add-on to show them in a more visible way?

Migraiting to SSD

Posted: 28 Apr 2017 03:20 AM PDT

I have been wanting to move ESO over to my SSD for a little while now. What I am wondering is, are the save files on the server or my PC? Is there a limit on installs? And would I see a good improvement in loading times, or is that all on the server side?

ESO Live April 28 @ 3 PM EDT Friday

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 08:34 PM PDT

Can we get a video of the Devs clearing Maw on the PTS? Is that something that can/or would ever happen?

Posted: 27 Apr 2017 07:46 AM PDT

Like the title says does ZOS have people working for them who play this great game? Or are they balancing everything based off of a purely solo , I like to kill world bosses and Delves point of view.

Genuinely curious, as I would love to see that either on Live or PTS.
