You know, I get why some people don't like abilities that have cast or channel times, but there is really something to be said about how a cast/channel with a big payoff makes you feel like a mage and I'm glad they weren't afraid to play with casts and channels for the scribing abilities. xD
Its because being interrupted does feel really bd and i agree with that. Interrupting snipe or wrecking blow in pve feels terrible, but they are still the most satisfying and easy to weave spammables in the game for me
@@phanelorai2798 there is, thats called Elemental Ring and it already exists as a destro staff skill. If it werent for the 2 second cast time affording a larger power budget, this would be exactly the same skill as elemental ring, but better in which case elemental ring should have just been buffed (which is probs should be?) and this should have been a different skill.
Im probably going to do a few more at least! There are some pretty interesting skills, but Id say about half or more of them are better suited to PvP than PvE so I’ll need (my main account back) and the live servers with the patch up to try those out in battlegrounds reasonably. I imagine some of these skills will change a good bit over the pts cycle, so we’ll see how things develop!
@@CreativeExcusesGaming well, I have a decent build with a decent rotation, i can solo like 80% of world bosses, and a few dlc dungeons on normal mode, the rest is just skill issue really. I need more practice and learn more mechanics to get better, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. But seeing you take on all the Gold Road WBs in your previous video was proof to me that almost anything can be soloed in this game if you're skilled enough lol
Thank you, was hoping to use this as a spammable, looks like it’s possible. Miffed it doesn’t work with Deadly, however will probably build around Crit, so Orders Wrath, and maybe Gourmands for me to try out, can’t wait!
I think it will pair really well with the Velothi amulet mythic on a two bar build since you will miss out on so many light attacks. That will help this skill out a lot!
It is sooooo refreshing to see a pro player using the basic, powerful and reliable caltrops skill. I can't remember why 99% solo players and 99.9% groups eliminated this skill from their rotations. I use it in all my classes, specially in trials. My respecto to u!
Its not always needed! When you already have major breach from somewhere, you dont need razor caltrops and a different dot would be better in its place. Anti calvary caltrops can work, but its about the most standard dot you can get and there are others that might deal more damage at least in single target
Kinda insane that this can be modified to do different elements, since this is now a channeling skill you can stack this with a Frostbite + Deadly Strikes (it's a channeling ability) and deal massive amounts of damage. Totalling of about a 29% increase of damage since it's a pretty good spammable since it provides damage shield I don't even need to depend on LA for Minor Brittle since the skill can be modified to do it so I can hit every enemy with Minor Brittle that's longer duration than the Chilled proc one. This skill is probably the final piece to a complete one bar Frostden I've been trying to complete for a long time.
I tried it :( It doesn't count as a channeled skill, just a really long cast time. Deadly only applies to skills that "channel" multiple instances of damage or dots, not cast time skills (which is big dumb but I understand why: wrecking blow and snipe with deadly would be bonkers). tldr; deadly does not work on elemental explosion unfort.
i hope that they make scribing work with every skill and class but with some changes, the more build crafting they allow the more unique and more fun i’ll have returning to the game, without it i doubt i’ll come back tho
It would be really great if the class system in general was replaced with a system similar to scribing, if we are paying for dlc, we should be able to use the content we are funding and paying for on any character. The current system is oriented around more casual players that prefer re-rolling characters and doing zone stories over and over, rather than pushing for endgame content or PvP, and they could easily still do that with more flexibility for role playing or whatnot with a better class system. Scribing should actually be the formula going forward for new classes, it would have been awesome for example if the deadric princes all had their own specific grimoires, and that's how arcanist could have been introduced to the game, would have been a fantastic opportunity to add some really desirable content to the infinite archives.
The new scribing system imo wasnt made to make every class awesome. It was made for the sorc and necro to bridge the gaps between the more fancy classes. 😂😂
This skill does have a possible knockback! It makes this a wicked artillery crowd control skill for Cyrodil or Battlegrounds, especially when you can knock enemies off of ledges
Funny enough my favorite spammables are all the cast time spams: wrecking blow, snipe, bloodthirst, and old jabs (i dont like new jabs much at all though). This one is also super cool and feels awesome to use, but you do lose quite a lot of damage potential. Some day i need to farm out the velothi mage amulet mythic and see if i can get this skill to perform a little better for damage.
It feels so much better than expected. I do think its damage in pve settings could go up a bit to compensate for the light/heavy attacks you miss out on, but it feels shockingly good for a 2 second cast time
@BobaSoda_ Yea they really dont want to allow aoe taunts, and its really not for any good reason. They could just make aoe taunts only last like 5 seconds so its for grouping and debuffing adds and then you go grab them individually after

There should be a quick cast modification, reduce damage, but it’s instant cast.

I would love to see more videos going over scribing skills you find fun. I've really enjoyed the last two videos!

I'm trying to get better at the game and I'm always amazed how easy you make it look. I'm learning a lot from you, love your videos man!
Thanks! What are some things you would like to learn?

@majlathda Have you done vet vateshran and maelstrom yet? Those really help you learn a lot!
@@CreativeExcusesGaming i did both but only on normal mode. I'll try them on vet, thanks!
you have no clue how excited I am for the class skills to get this treatment!!!!
This is so true
Scribing looks fun, I hope to return to the game soon to try them out. Thanks for the info videos, they're very helpful 👍
Proof watching another skill video right now!
I love playing on the PTS and creating builds
The cast time make it perfect for a fire “burning” spammable
You cast, things burns, when the burns fall off you will be hitting them again
Thank you, was hoping to use this as a spammable, looks like it’s possible.

that skill definitely suits a magsorc i actually may try one gold road
That burst damage is crazy, I was hoping to make a lightning spamable for my sorc in the destro scribe skill but this is still cool no doubt
No a disease,poison and bleed
I personally want disease damage skills in the restoration staff skill line
@@CreativeExcusesGaming restoration staff need better dps or effect to make them better
your a wizard harry!

Deadly does not buff it. I tested it. Its a cast time skill, not a channeled skill (despite the tooltip saying “channel”)
@@CreativeExcusesGaming damn that's kinda bit of a bummer but it still does a lot of damage and damage shield helps a lot.
this will be amazing with deadly strikes

When does this come out? This looks so satisfying
First week of June!!
perhaps the extra dmg of the blood set is from penetration
Maybe from damage buffs like minor slayer and minor vuln, but not penetration. Pen cant buff your damage past the tooltip number
Cast time longer than the 2nd coming of Jesus ✝Love the showcase though as its nice to see it done by someone who utilizes an actual rotation.
What colour is the explosion if you choose magic damage? (Gteat video btw)
Purple I think?
@@CreativeExcusesGaming oh i hope its purple, it would match so well with my sorc... Err.. i mean, not that I would use it just for that reason XD
In the video for scribing that ZoS did, there was a skill used that showed enemies flying way up and out of frame, what was that skill?
This skill does have a possible knockback! It makes this a wicked artillery crowd control skill for Cyrodil or Battlegrounds, especially when you can knock enemies off of ledges
ty :)
i hate cast times, but if youre gonna give a skill one make the animation cool and satisfying

2 sec casting time suck so much :/ ...

Is it possible to create an AOE taunt with Scribing?
It is not
@@CreativeExcusesGaming Still getting the expansion but that's so cringe, thnx for letting me know
@BobaSoda_ Yea they really dont want to allow aoe taunts, and its really not for any good reason. They could just make aoe taunts only last like 5 seconds so its for grouping and debuffing adds and then you go grab them individually after
@@CreativeExcusesGaming Only 5 seconds? I don't negotiate with terrorists (ZOS), better be getting a 10+ second AOE taunt
@BobaSoda_ 😂😂😂
Most likely it will be fixed
Fixed as in buffed? Because its far from overpowered here

Is this a synonym for first?
@@CreativeExcusesGaming no lol it's for telling you that I love the content of the vid ! :) thanks !
@@CreativeExcusesGaming actually it's been like 2 years since I last log in ESO but I'm still checking the news and I love your content for that :)
