==New Features / Updates / Big Changes==
===Blackwood Chapter===

*To begin your voyage to Blackwood, you can choose from among the following:
**Create a new character and play through the new Blackwood tutorial.
**Enter the zone with an existing character by one of the following ways:
***Using the Wayshrine on the Leyawiin Outskirts
***Using one of the boats or carts outside of Elden Root, Mournhold or Wayrest
***Traveling to a friend who is already in Blackwood
*After you complete the (new!) tutorial, seek out either Brigandine Antonius awaiting you upon your arrival to get the first quest of the Main Story, or travel to the gates of Leyawiin and seek out Captain Rian who has need of your assistance.
*Blackwood includes the following activities:
**Six delves, each with its own Skyshard and associated content
**Six challenging world bosses, ranging from the terrifying yet adorable Death Hopper hiding among the northeastern marshes to the horrendous Daedric Ruinach within the sunken xanmeers of Blackmarsh
**Two public dungeons: the abandoned fortress of Zenithar's Abbey and the home of a crazed Argonian Daedric cult within The Silent Halls
**New set crafting stations
**Venturing into the depths of the Deadlands from the numerous Oblivion Portals opening up around the region
**Over thirty hours of quest content, exploration, achievement hunting
====Oblivion Portals====
The forces of Mehrunes Dagon are keen to invade the lands of Blackwood and mean to do so via new Oblivion Portal events. You'll seek out these portals, venture into the Deadlands, and put an end to the invading army before it can wreak havoc across all of Tamriel.
*Oblivion Portals will appear randomly throughout Blackwood. Entering a portal takes you to the Deadlands, Mehrunes Dagon's Daedric home.
*There are multiple pathways to explore within the Deadlands.
*Defeating the denizens of the portals will award you with Jewelry from the overland item sets.
====Companions====
Companions are non-player characters who can aid you on your adventures throughout Tamriel. Once called to your side, these stalwart allies will assist you both in and out of combat. Fighting alongside your companion and taking actions they approve of will improve their effectiveness and allow you to build rapport, respectively. As you earn their trust and strengthen your bonds of fellowship, your companion may share personal quests with you. You may also give them companion-specific gear and customize them in a wide variety of ways, including setting their abilities, mounts, costumes, outfits and more.
;Acquisition and Activation
*If you have access to the Blackwood Chapter, you can unlock two companions through completing associated quests in the Blackwood zone. 
**Bastian is found in the Deepscorn Hollow objective along the southwest coast of Blackwood
**Mirri is found in the Doomvault Vulpinaz objective in north Blackwood
*Once either objective is completed, the respective Companion collectible will be granted.
**These collectibles can be found in the Collections menu under a new top collectibles category of Allies, in the Companion subcategory. Assistants are considered allies and have been moved to their own subcategory accordingly.
**You may have either a Companion or an Assistant active.
**Companion collectibles may be activated from the Collections menu or quick slotted for ease of use.
*Restrictions/Limitations
**In population-limited instances such as dungeons, group arenas and trials, each companion present counts toward the population cap as if they were a player.
***Players will always take priority and companions will be auto-dismissed as players zone in. 
**Companions cannot be summoned in PvP areas, solo arenas or in housing instances. They also cannot be summoned while you are in combat or if the summoning character has not yet completed the associated introductory quest, even if the collectible has been unlocked by another character.
**If the relationship between the character and companion deteriorates into very low rapport states, the companion may voluntarily unsummon themselves and be unavailable to the associated character for a time.
**Companion visibility may also be briefly suppressed in some situations where they are unable to navigate to your character, such as while swimming.
;Interaction and Customization
*To engage with your companion, simply initiate dialogue with them and select the Companion Menu dialogue option. 
**This menu provides you with detailed information regarding the status of the companion, as well as tools for adjusting the companion's combat behavior and visual customization. 
**Beyond the Companion Menu, dialogue with your companion is also a way to get to know them better and their responses will vary based on rapport, quest status, and other factors. 
*The overview section of the companion character tab provides a summary of Companion information including level, slotted abilities, rapport status, companion perk details and outfit application status. 
*Combat
**Selecting the equipment option of the Companion character tab displays any companion equipment in your inventory which can be equipped on your companion via the display on the left. 
**The skills tab of the Companion menu provides a list of available skill lines and associated abilities which may be slotted into the companion's active ability bar.
***These abilities may have usage restrictions such as requiring a specific weapon type is equipped.
***Companions attempt to use their abilities in priority order from left to right, if they have a valid target and meet any associated requirements of the ability. 
**Companion abilities utilize a cooldown system to determine frequency of usage, with various companion abilities having an array of cooldown times.
**Companions have a large pool of abilities available to them, which are thematically similar to abilities you may recognize from various skill lines.
***These abilities provide the opportunity to customize the companion's combat role including tanking, healing, damage, and any hybridization desired to perfectly complement their player's ability configuration. 
*Cosmetic
**Companions can be customized using many of your own cosmetic collectibles. This includes mounts, costumes and outfits!
***Companions have a default mount which they will utilize when you mount up, but this can be overridden through the Companion menu in the Collectibles tab.
***Unlocked costumes may be applied through the Collectibles tab as well, with any associated applied dyes being shared across your character and companion's appearance per costume.
***Visiting an outfit station allows you to configure a dedicated outfit slot, with each companion having a dedicated slot per account. This outfit can be activated through the overview screen of the Companion UI.
**Note that a companion's head armor is automatically hidden at all times and will not be displayed regardless of equipment or cosmetic override settings. 
**Additionally, a small subset of mount, costume and outfit collectibles may not be usable by the companion based on gender, race, or other restrictions.
;Progression
With the exception of quests and rapport, which collectively represents the relationship between each character and the companion, all Companion progress is account-wide. 
*Combat Level
**Companions are level 1 when unlocked, with a limited set of ability bar slots and a maximum potential level of 20.
**Companions level up via experience gained with your character directly from combat.
***Experience increasing effects such as holiday bonuses and consumable boosters applied to your character will provide an indirect benefit to the companion as well.
**As companions gain combat levels, their health and overall power (which affects weapon and spell damage) increases automatically, additional ability bar slots unlock, and more class abilities become available. This includes an Ultimate slot and ability, which unlock at combat level 20. 
*Skill Lines
**Companions have access to several skill lines, each with associated abilities. Most companion skill lines have 3 active abilities which can be acquired through leveling up of that skill line.
**Companion abilities do not require skill points to unlock and do not rank up or morph over time.
***Class Skill lines increase with the combat level of the companion.
***Weapon skill lines increase through combat experience based on the equipped weapon(s).
***Armor skill lines increase through combat experience based on the equipped weight of the armor on the companion. 
***Guild skill lines increase through completing specific solo daily quests associated with the guild, for the active companion.
***Racial skill lines do not include active abilities and are immediately applied based on the race of the companion. 
**Each companion unlocks with some progress in skill lines based on their background, as well as with multiple combat abilities pre-slotted so they are immediately combat ready. These may be changed as desired. 
*Rapport
**Rapport with companions begins at cordial, based on the introductory quest experience and may go up and down over time, based on your actions with the active companion.
**All companions have strong personal preferences which you can learn about through dialogue and experimentation in the world. As rapport increases or falls, various thresholds will be met, with corresponding changes in the companion's dialogue with you.
***At higher tiers of rapport, the companion will be inclined to share personal information with you and ask you for your assistance with associated quests.
***At lower tiers of rapport, the companion may choose to part ways with you for a certain amount of time.
**Rapport adjustments are displayed in real time in the loot stream and have limitations on how often they can be triggered for both positive and negative rapport events.
**The current rapport status can always be viewed on the overview window of the Companion UI.
*Equipment and Sourcing
**Companion equipment is distinct from player gear with no overlap between them. Companion gear unlocks with a set of untraited white equipment based on their background.
***Bastian begins wearing Medium Armor and a Destruction Staff while Mirri starts off with Light Armor and a Bow. 
**Companion equipment does not include level, cannot be enchanted, does not require repairs and does not include an inherent style appearance, but instead inherits the style of the companion it's applied to. 
**White companion equipment can be purchased from Weaponsmith, Woodworker, Armorer, Leatherworker, and Tailor merchants throughout the world, allowing you to customize your companion role accordingly.
**Fine (green), superior (blue) and epic (purple) quality companion equipment with traits are obtained from monster drops throughout the world, particularly from bosses.
***This equipment can be traded so it can be bought and sold on the market. 
**Equipment above white quality also comes with companion-centric traits:
***Quickened (Cooldown Reduction)
***Prolific (Ultimate Generation)
***Focused (Critical Strike Chance)
***Shattering (Penetration)
***Aggressive (Damage Done)
***Soothing (Healing Done)
***Augmented (Ability Buff and Debuff Duration)
***Bolstered (Reduce Damage Taken)
***Vigorous (Max Health)
;Quests and Rewards
*In addition to the Blackwood quest objective which introduces and unlocks the respective companions, each companion has two associated personal side quests which will become available to you once a sufficient rapport has been established. 
*Completing the second companion quest will unlock a houseguest collectible of the companion, allowing them to be placed and utilized similarly to other houseguest collectibles.
*Completing any Companion side quest will result in a large rapport boost.
;Perks and Keepsakes
*Each companion has a unique associated non-combat perk which benefits you while active. 
**Mirri's Expertise: Treasure Chests found through Treasure Maps and in the Overland have a 30% chance to provide additional loot from hidden compartments. The treasure from these hidden compartments may contain additional gold, sellables or recipes.
**Bastian's Insight: Potions looted from chests and monsters have a 30% chance to be improved by Bastian's Insight. 
*By completing meta-achievements associated with each companion, you can unlock a keepsake collectible for each companion which provides the benefits of the non-combat perk even while the companion isn't active. 
**These collectibles are located under the Upgrades section of the Collections menu.
;Responsiveness and Miscellaneous Items
*Companions can respond to a wide array of situations that occur while adventuring with you, both in and out of combat.
**While they will always respond to some critical triggers, you can adjust the frequency your companion will vocally respond by opening the settings menu, selecting gameplay, and adjusting the "Companion Reactions" setting to Infrequent, Normal, and Frequent. 
*Beyond ability and equipment selection, companions can also be directed in battle in a couple additional ways.
**While companions will always attempt to engage in combat to support you, utilizing pet commands allows you to direct the companion to engage with specific targets or to pull back, respectively.
***By default, hold Y and left or right clicking on mouse and keyboard, or press L3+R3 along with the left or right bumper on gamepad.
**Additionally, companions will utilize their Ultimate when available and conditions are met by default. However, you can choose to have them wait until directed to utilize it.
***The Companion Ultimate Auto Cast setting in gameplay section of the settings menu allows you to set the companion to wait until they are directed to use their Ultimate by clicking on the new Ultimate icon which is present next to your hotkey bar when a companion is active on keyboard, or pressing L3+R3 with no bumper input on gamepad. 
*Companions will also attempt to block incoming heavy attacks, interrupt some abilities and break free from crowd control effects. However, their timing is not always perfect, and they do have a cooldown between uses of these actions. 
*If a companion dies in battle, they can be revived using a soul gem, similar to reviving other players.
**Any companion who is still defeated at the end of combat will recover within a few seconds of battle concluding.
====Rockgrove Trial====
Stone-talkers from the Ca-Uxith tribe have watched over Rockgrove's Xanmeer for centuries. Although the stone stays silent, the chaos roiling beneath it could erupt at any moment. A sect of a rival tribe, the Sul-Xan, has invaded Rockgrove and is preparing to sacrifice the inhabitants to fuel some dark ritual.
*Rockgrove is a 12-player Trial located in the southern portion of Blackwood.
*The Trial includes a normal and challenging Veteran version.

*The Isle of Balfiera is now the default tutorial for all versions of ESO. Upon completion of the tutorial quest, you have the option to begin your journey in Tamriel via the portal room to any of the previous Chapter starting locations (as long as you own the associated Chapter) or base game Alliance starting locations.
**If you are unsure where to start your adventure, Norianwe will provide a summary of each region before you set out.
*Choose carefully! Once you begin your adventure, you may not return to the Isle of Balfiera on that character.
====New Homes====
There are two new homes to obtain as part of this update:
*Pilgrim's Rest: Every year, hundreds of Zenithar's worshipers journey to Leyawiin, desperate for a glimpse of St. Kaladas's architectural marvel: The Great Chapel of Zenithar. This suite offers a welcome respite from the road's perils.
**This inn-room can be obtained by completing the "Room to Spare" quest in Leyawiin, or can be purchased for 3000 gold if you've already completed that quest elsewhere.
*Water's Edge: Those seeking a taste of river life without all the flooding can find everything they need in this cozy bridge home. With both the Outlaws Refuge and Leyawiin Castle just a brief walk away, it's the perfect spot for nobles and lowlifes alike.

====Housing Editor Update====
You can now precision edit furniture items and path nodes from the Housing Editor's Retrieve menu, without first having to pick them up. This also allows you to make precise tweaks to objects that are embedded in other objects, or which are otherwise difficult to select normally.
==Known Issues==
===Combat & Gameplay===
Companions
*You are not currently able to summon Companions into groups that have 4 or more players + Companions present while in the overland or in public dungeons. This means a group of 2 players can each have a Companion, a group of 3 players can only have 1 total Companion and groups of 4 or more will not be able to have any Companions in these areas.
===Crown Store & Crown Crates===
UI
*The tooltip on Riding Lessons found in the Crown Store currently states you have 0/60 upgrades no matter how many you actually have. To view an accurate number of upgrades, you can view this on the Character UI or visit a stable. This is strictly a tooltip error and does not affect your actual riding upgrades (speed, stamina or carrying capacity).

===Combat & Gameplay===
====Combat & Abilities====
General
*Reduced player group size limitations from a global maximum of 24 to 12 in all activities, rather than only in Cyrodiil and Trials, to aid in performance.
Developer Comment:
We've been continually looking at ways to improve performance and stability across the game and we found reducing the group size was an effective way to ensure there would be fewer situations where you hit critical memory. Additionally, there's a fair amount of data that has to be exchanged on the backend for every person in your group. By limiting the group size to 12, we're introducing additional performance gains.
*Fixed an issue where a target could occasionally appear to have died twice in combat logs.
*Fixed an issue where some abilities that turned into new abilities in conditional situations could not be used after activating, such as Brutal Pounce or Blighted Blastbones.
*Fixed an issue where the Atronach and Serpent Mundus stones did not apply to your out-of-combat recovery as well.
*Fixed an issue where Status Effects that dealt instantaneous damage would remove the caster from stealth, as well as failing to trigger events such as a target being under the effect of a status effect.
*Fixed an issue where the guaranteed Critical Strike and bonus damage from attacks made while hidden in crouch would fail on many attacks. It will now properly grant a guaranteed Critical Strike on your next Direct Damage attack, deal 46% bonus damage if a *Ranged attack (now Magical and Martial, rather than only Martial), 275% bonus damage if a Melee attack (Magical and Martial, rather than only Martial), and Stun the target on Martial or Magical melee attacks.
**Note the bonus Critical Damage is still reduced significantly and these values are their original versions.
*Fixed an issue where many sneak cost reduction bonuses were additive instead of multiplicative.
*Fixed an issue where some Synergies were occasionally not prompting you to activate them until you left and re-entered their area if your cooldown for the synergy ended while you were already inside their area.
*The following abilities will now deal purely Bleed Damage rather than Physical Damage or a mix of Physical and Bleed Damage.
**Bloodthirst (morph of Flurry)
**Carve (morph of Cleave)
**Cutting Dive (morph of Dive)
**Pounce and morphs
**Trap Beast and morphs
**Twin Slashes and morphs
*Bash's damage is now considered a Weapon Ability since it has a cost.
*Pummeling Goliath's bash is now considered a Player Class Ability.
*Removed visual and sound effects from each of the following ground effects' ticks to reduce battlefield clutter and noise:
**Graveyard and morphs
**Lightning Splash and morphs
**Nova and morphs
*The following abilities have received significant adjustments to how the server handles their behavior, reducing messages sent between the client and server and reducing the total amount of Area of Effect events occurring. This will largely have little to no effect on their gameplay other than improving their response time to entering or leaving the Area of Effect. In some rarer cases, it will reduce the interaction with sets that proc off application of buffs or debuffs, since you will no longer repeatedly apply these effects to targets inside the area every tick, but rather for the duration the target is inside the area. Their synergies (when applicable) have also been updated to be far more reliable to activate when in the area and they will no longer persist for a short duration after each tick, allowing you to activate them in cases where they could fail or were already used, going on cooldown with no effect, or gaining their effects despite already being used.
**Blood Altar and morphs
***In an instance where Blood Feast and Blood Funnel are both available, Blood Feast will now always take priority as it is stronger than Blood Funnel.
**Bone Totem and morphs
**Boneyard and morphs
**Cleansing Ritual and morphs
**Both morphs of Dragonknight Standard
***This will also fix an issue where the morphed version of this ability failed to properly fire its synergy, Shackle, when activated.
**Lightning Splash and morphs
**Necrotic Orbs and morphs
**Negate Magic and morphs
**Nova and morphs
**Rune Focus and morphs
**Spear Shards and morphs
*The Battle Spirit passive now also reduces your Health Recovery by 50%.
Developer Comment:
Currently, Health Recovery is quite powerful in PvP environments as it bypasses the typical penalty of Battle Spirit with healing, enabling those with high amounts of it to easily recuperate tremendous amounts of damage passively. Rather than nerfing Health Recovery as a whole and making it weaker in PvE where it already struggles due to the need of more reactive healing in those encounters, we've decided to utilize this to ensure it only sees a loss of power where it needs it.
*The Damage over Time effects listed below will now contiguously update their damage based on your stats each tick, rather than following the standard of snap shotting their stats on application. This should fix a few issues where they were not inheriting traits, such as Bloodthirsty, or other changes in stats like Flawless Dawnbreaker.
**Arms of Relequen
**Cutting Dive
*Fixed an issue where the following Damage over Time abilities were being calculated as damage done bonuses rather than base ability effectiveness per stack, fixing an issue where their stacked damage was much lower than intended:
**Arms of Relequen (normal and perfected)
**Cutting Dive
*Fixed an issue where many Champion Points were still counting towards the effect limit, making it easier to experience wildly erratic behaviors with effects not working.
*Non-combat pets owned by other players will now be temporarily hidden when engaged with a Dark Anchor, Abyssal Geyser, Harrowstorm, and when fighting Dragons or Group Bosses.
*Fixed an issue where some procs that required you to kill an enemy within a time period of damaging it could fail to activate in some situations. 
Buffs and Debuffs
*Minor Lifesteal and Magickasteal: Both of these effects have received significant backend adjustments to how they operate, fixing many cases where the caster of the effect would change contexts. They now are considered to be sourced from the caster of the effect, rather than the target of the effect.
**Minor Lifesteal will now exhibit the following behavior:
***Healing Done from the caster of the effect
***Healing Taken from the triggerer of the effect
***Critical Strike Chance and Bonus of the triggerer of the effect
***It will continue to not proc events such as healing caused as it is a procced event.
*Major Gallop: Fixed an issue where this bonus was applying to toy mounts. Sorry about this one.
Dragonknight
*Draconic Power
**Dragon Blood
***Coagulating Blood (morph):
****Fixed an issue where this ability appeared to rank up in 1 second duration per rank.
****Reduced the cost of this ability to 3780, down from 4320, to add an improvement to the morph rather than just changing its functionality.
*Earthen Heart
**Molten Weapon
***Molten Armaments (morph): Fixed an issue where this ability could fail to apply some of its buffs to group members.
Necromancer
*Grave Lord
**Boneyard:
***This ability and its morphs now lasts 10 seconds in total instead of 10.5 seconds.
***The synergy from these abilities now heal the synergy activator rather than the caster of the synergy source.
**Death Knell: Reduced the amount of Critical Chance granted from this passive to 2/4% per Grave Lord ability slotted, down from 5/10%.
*Bone Tyrant
**Bone Totem: Reworked the base operations of this ability's rank up progression to result in the same values at Rank IV, but with less decimal places along the way.
***Agony Totem (morph):
****The synergy from this morph, Pure Agony, now has a 6 person target cap rather than hitting unlimited targets.
****Fixed an issue where the final tick of this synergy's damage was not amplified its own Minor Vulnerability source.
****Fixed an issue where the damage also caused hit reactions, despite being a Damage over Time effect.
Nightblade
*Shadow
**Shadow Cloak
***Dark Cloak (morph): Reduced the healing from this morph by approximately 5%.
**Summon Shade
***Shadow Image (morph): The shade from this ability will now spawn directly at your location when activated, and teleporting to it will put you directly at its location as well. These changes should add more precision to utilizing this ability, while also fixing issues where it could occasionally get you in areas you did not belong. Your shadow seems to be a pretty complicated person, perhaps some reflection would do you well?
Sorcerer
*Dark Magic
**Negate Magic:
***The morphs of this ability now tick every 1 second instead of 500ms.
***Increased the potency of their ticks by 103.3% to ensure their DPS/HPS remains almost the same, as well as fixing an issue where their values were missing rank up progression built into them.
***Scrolling Combat Text now properly displays successful silences with these abilities.
*Storm Calling
**Bolt Escape
***Ball of Lightning (morph): This ability's projectile absorption now operates more closely to Spell Wall or other abilities that deal with absorbing/deflecting ranged attacks. This should fix a few issues where it could absorb attacks it shouldn't have been able to.
**Mages' Fury: Fixed an issue where the execute components of this ability and its morphs were missing rank up progression. Each version of the ability will gain a total of 3.3% damage for the execute's single target and Area of Effect component.
Templar
*Aedric Spear
**Spear Shards
***Luminous Shards (morph): This morph's synergy now restores full resources for the Magicka and Stamina granted, rather than half of the off stat granted.
*Dawn's Wrath
**Eclipse
***Living Dark (morph): This morph now scales off your Max Health or Spell Damage, whichever results in a higher value, rather than a mix of Spell Damage and Max Magicka.
Developer Comment:
Templars currently have very few tools that they can use as tanks, so we've opted to utilize a unique scaling method here to ensure the ability can be utilized by both defensive and offensive builds.
*Nova:
**The synergy from this Ultimate and the Solar Disturbance morph, Supernova, now stuns enemies for 3 seconds, up from 2.5 seconds.
**Removed the target cap for the damage, Major Maim, and Synergy Damage + Stun on all versions of these Ultimates.
**Fixed an issue where Major Maim from these Ultimates was applying twice, resulting in more damage reduction than intended.
***Solar Prison (morph):
****The synergy from this morph, Gravity Crush, now has the proper radius of 8 meters instead of 10.
****Increased the damage of this synergy by approximately 14%.
***Solar Disturbance (morph):
****Reduced the base cost of this morph to 225, down from 250.
****This Ultimate now ranks up in duration of the Major Maim applied to enemies, rather than damage done.
****Major Maim now lasts 7 seconds at base and ranks up to 10 seconds, rather than 4 seconds at all ranks.
*Restoring Light
**Cleansing Ritual: The synergy from this ability and its morphs no longer requires you to have a negative effect on you to activate.
**Rune Focus:
***Increased the base duration of this ability to 17 seconds, up from 14 seconds.
***This ability and its morphs no longer grant you an additional 2974 Armor when standing in them, but instead heal you for 4.5% of your Max Health every 1 second when inside.
****Channeled Focus (morph):
*****This morph now increases the duration of the ability and continues to rank up in duration, ending at 25 seconds, up from 20.
*****Increased the Magicka restored per tick to 242, up from 240.
****Restoring Focus (morph):
*****This morph now increases the healing done by 25% and ranks up in healing done by 1.1% per rank, rather than duration (note the duration remains at 20 seconds due to the base ability duration increasing).
*****Increased the Stamina restored per tick to 242, up from 240.
*****Reduced the base cost to 918, down from 920, to ensure it meets the 15% standard cost reduction of Stamina based abilities. That 2 Stamina may save your life one day, just maybe.
Warden
*Winter's Embrace
**Arctic Wind: Reduced the base heal of this ability and its morphs by 20% and the Heal over Time from this ability and its morphs by approximately 17%.
Weapon
*Bow
**Rapid Fire
***Toxic Barrage (morph): Fixed an issue where the Damage over Time from this Ultimate failed to apply to targets that blocked the attack.
*Destruction Staff
**Elemental Storm: Fixed an issue where this ability and its morphs were not considered Weapon abilities in some cases.
**Impulse:
***The Flame variants of this ability and its morphs now better describe the behavior.
***Fixed an issue where the tooltip cost of Impulse and its morphs were 3510 without the ability slotted. Their actual cost is 3780, which updates when you apply the ability to your bar with a Destruction Staff equipped.
**Wall of Elements: Fixed an issue where some versions of these abilities were incorrectly labeled as other versions, gaining or missing out on the contextual bonuses such as the 20% bonus damage from Wall of Fire.
*Dual Wield
**Blade Cloak: Increased the damage done by this ability and its morphs by approximately 25% to better reward its requirement to stay stacked on your foe, as well as to help offset the loss of effectiveness on proccing enchants and sets with the changes to Deadly Cloak.
***Deadly Cloak (morph): This ability now deals double damage instead of doubling the tick rate. This will result in a ~9% damage increase, but will require you to stick to your target more and has less of a chance to proc other effects.
**Lacerate: Fixed an issue where this ability and its and morphs were not considered Weapon abilities in some cases.
**Flurry
***Bloodthirst (morph): Fixed an issue where the heal from this morph was not considered a Dual Wield ability or a Weapon ability.
**Twin Blade and Blunt: This passive now increases your Critical Damage done with axes by 3/6% per axe rather than Critical Percent by 2/4%.
**Twin Slashes
***Blood Craze (morph): Fixed an issue where the heal from this morph was not considered a Dual Wield ability or a Weapon ability.
*One Hand and Shield
**Shield Charge
***Invasion (morph): Fixed an issue where the bonus duration to the stun based on your distance could be carried over to another target if you immediately cast the ability.
*Restoration Staff
**Blessing of Protection:
***Fixed an issue where this ability could force you to cast the ability in directions that were not where your cursor was pointed.
***Fixed an issue where the visuals from this ability and its morphs lasted longer if you had the Dark Veil passive unlocked. The light shall no longer try to flush out the dark when unintended.
**Panacea: Fixed an issue where this Ultimate and its morphs were not labeled as healing abilities on their initial cast.
**Steadfast Ward
***Ward Ally (morph): Fixed an issue where the ally targeting shield was not considered a Restoration Staff ability.
*Two Handed
**Cleave
***Brawler (morph): Fixed an issue where the shield from this morph was missing rank up progression built into it. This will result in a 3.3% stronger shield.
**Critical Charge
***Stampede (morph): Increased the damage done by the initial hit of this ability by 25%, and the damage of the Damage over Time effect by approximately 127%. Overall, this will result in approximately 86% more damage, which was done to help offset the changes to Merciless Charge, as well as to help Two Handed stick out better as a viable back bar option.
**Heavy Weapon: This passive now increases your Critical Damage done with axes by 6/12% rather than Critical Percent by 4/8%.
**Reverse Slash
***Reverse Slice (morph): Fixed an issue where the Area of Effect component of this ability was not considered a Two Handed ability or Weapon ability.
**Momentum
***Rally (morph):
****Fixed an issue where this ability's initial cast was not considered a heal in some cases.
****Made numerous improvements to this ability's stacking heal bonus to reduce the cases where the bonus to the heal would remain or be lost in cases where it shouldn't.
World
*Vampire
**Undeath: Fixed an issue where this passive did not work against many ground-based attacks, such as Volley.
Guild
*Undaunted
**Necrotic Orbs:
***This ability and its morphs now tick once every second, rather than every half second.
***Increased the damage per tick of this ability and the Mystic Orbs morph by approximately 16%.
***Decreased the travel speed of the orb so it's easier to land multiple ticks on low mobility enemies. This will be an overall DPS loss, getting these abilities closer to other AoE DoTs in power. Note these will still be stronger than most other DoTs due to having higher variance of performance, especially in high mobility in encounters.
***Fixed an issue where the AoE size of the synergy from this ability and its morphs were 7 meters instead of 8 meters.
****Healing Orbs (morph): Increased the healing per tick of this morph by approximately 38%. This will result in less total healing overall but will still be stronger than most other AoE HoTs due to its mobile nature.
Alliance War
*Assault
**Caltrops: Increased the damage per tick of this ability and its morphs by approximately 36%. It will now deal damage equitable to a normal DoT ability, rather than being weaker than them.
Developer Comment:
Between the changes to Caltrops and Necrotic Orbs, we hope to see less of a disparity in performance between Stamina and Magicka DPS. We already see many Stamina-based classes pulling slightly ahead to most Magicka in single target, but are quite a bit behind in cleave areas which most of the game requires between boss encounters and elite encounters in dungeons and trials. By reducing the bonuses Necrotic Orbs has from being harder to use and improving one of the universally accessible Stamina AoE DoTs, we hope to lessen the delta between the two in regards of damage dealing.
*War Horn
**Sturdy Horn (morph):
***Increased the Critical Resistance granted from this Ultimate to 1320, up from 990, to match the adjustments to Major Force increasing to 20%.
***Fixed an issue where the Critical Resistance granted could be stacked per cast.
====Champion System====
General
*In response to the feedback that there is still too much vertical progression in the Champion Point system, we have further reduced the maximum number of stages for passive stars (non-slotted) available. This will lower the vertical progression cap to 1560 rather than 2100 in the Warfare tree, and 1626 rather than 2352 in the Fitness tree. This will reduce the maximum power of the Champion Point system as well.
Craft
*Angler's Instincts:
**Fixed an issue where the effects of Artaeum Pickled Fish Broth and Angler's Instincts were not stacking together. 
**Fixed an issue where this star applied its effects once purchased, regardless of whether or not it was slotted. 
*Steadfast Enchantment:
**Reworded this passive to better describe its actual behavior. It now states that each stage has a % chance to not consume a Weapon Enchantment charge when activating.
**Reduced the bonus per stage to 10%, down from 20%, as the passive was not meant to invalidate the need to recharge enchantments, but rather effectively double their charge.
Fitness

**Bashing Brutality
**Defiance
**Hasty
**Hero's Vigor
**Sprinter
**Tireless Guardian

**Enlivening Overflow: Over-healing yourself or an ally grants them Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery equal to 0.5% of your Max Magicka for 6 seconds, up to a cap of 150. This effect can occur once every 12 seconds per target. Singular stage worth 50 points.
**From the Brink: Healing yourself or a target under 25% Health grants them a Damage Shield that absorbs 2200 Damage per stage for 6 seconds. 30 second cooldown per target. 5 stages max, at 10 points per stage.
**Hope Infusion: Healing yourself or an ally under 50% Health grants them Minor Heroism. Duration is based on your Magicka Recovery, granting 1 second every 300 Recovery. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds per target. Singular stage worth 50 points.
**Master-at-Arms: Increases your damage done with direct damage attacks by 2% per stage. 5 stages max, at 10 points per stage.
**Salve of Renewal: When you remove a negative effect from yourself or an ally, you heal them and allies within an 8 meter radius of them for 1280 Health per stage. 5 stages max, at 10 points per stage.
**Weapons Expert: Increases your damage done with Light and Heavy Attacks by 3% per stage. 5 stages max, at 10 points per stage.
*The following stars have gone down to 2 stages from 4 stages:
**Blessed
**Eldritch Insight
**Elemental Defender
**Hardy
**Piercing
**Precision
**Preparation
***Also increased the effectiveness of this passive to 5% per stage, up from 2%, to make up for mitigation loss in PvE.
**Quick Recovery
**Tireless Discipline
*Occult Overload: Fixed an issue where this star would fail to proc if the killing blow was obtained from an instantaneous damage status effect, such as Sundered.
====Itemization & Item Sets====
General
*Fixed numerous issues where dealing damage with a set against a damage shield would not proc events based off of that damage done, such as Crimson Twilight or Ring of the Pale Order's healing.
*Updated several item sets that state they require "melee damage" to better describe their requirements:
**Martial melee damage: Used to denote attacks that deal Physical, Bleed, Poison, or Disease Damage in melee range.
**Magical Melee Damage: Used to denote attacks that deal Magic, Flame, Frost, or Shock Damage in melee range.
**Melee Damage: Any attack with a range less than or equal to 7 meters.
*The following sets now proc off taking any melee damage, rather than only Martial melee damage:
**Death's Wind
**Dragon's Defilement
**Night Terror
*Item sets that proc events that deal damage or heal now scale similarly to abilities, based on specific stats, which will now be called out in the tooltip. Check each section to see which sets scale with what! The following scaling methods are currently available, which may expand or change in the future:
**Damage focused proc-based events will scale with the higher of your Weapon or Spell Damage.
***You must have 6,574 Weapon or Spell Damage to reach the original value of many sets.
**Healing focused proc-based events will scale with the higher of your Max Magicka or Stamina.
***You must have 39,901 Max Magicka or Stamina to reach the original value of many sets.
**Tanking focused proc-based events will either scale with your Max Health, and in some rare cases, will use the higher of your Physical or Spell Resistance.
***You must have 43,968 Max Health or 30,680 Physical or Spell Resistance to reach the original value of many sets.
*Updated the visual effects to be less "noisy" for the following sets:
**Draugr's Rest
**Hiti's Hearth
**Hollowfang Thirst
**Kinra's Wrath
*Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl: Fixed an issue where this food buff was stronger than it's blue food counterpart. The main focus of this food was meant to be its bonuses for Fishing, rather than combat effectiveness. The new values are max level are now 5414 Max Health and 4938 Max Magicka.
Ability Altering Weapons
*The following sets now scale off of your Weapon or Spell Damage, whichever is higher:

**3 piece - Max Magicka
**4 piece - Max Stamina and Magicka
**5 piece - Weapon and Spell Damage in addition to its on-kill healing (which has received a significant increase)
*Willow's Path: Reduced this set's bonus to Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery to 18%, down from 25%.
Dungeon & Arena
