Online:Patch/5.3.1

The Elder Scrolls Online v5.3.1 includes several fixes for the Harrowstorm dungeons, and the start of some fixes affecting combat. Note that we are actively working on fixing several issues with Block, which will be coming in future PTS patches. We’ve also re-enabled /bug so you can resume reporting PTS bugs using that tool, and removed several older files to decrease the overall patch size. The size of this patch is approximately 7.4GB. Thanks for all of your initial feedback!

Combat & Gameplay
Combat & Abilities
General
Fixed an issue where Off Balance could be removed via purge. The intent of the changes were to ensure there was a window of time where Off Balance was guaranteed to be up, and guaranteed to be down.
Fixed an issue where the animation of Break Free was cut short if you began blocking. You will still enter the block state as you input the command, but your client will now allow the animation of Break Free to finalize before transitioning into the animation of Block, as is the new behavior with Block.
Decreased the delay before your character animates the Block animation after weapon swapping to better match what is currently seen on the Live megaservers. 

Templar
Dawn's Wrath
Nova: Fixed an issue where this ability’s damage did not properly generate hit reactions against enemies.
