ESO Update 50 Nerfs: What Really Got Hit

ESO Update 50 PTS brings major nerfs to “damage done to monsters” bonuses. We break down how the new additive scaling works and which sets lose the most power. If you run Ansuul, Bahsei, Tideborn, Velothi, or Empower builds, this update affects you. In this episode, we cover the Week 1 PTS fix that changes how several top PvE sets scale with your other damage modifiers. You’ll learn what was nerfed, which sets were adjusted, what stayed untouched, and what this means for your DPS, burst windows, and build planning going forward. We also look at ZOS’s developer comment and what to expect in future PTS weeks. Whether you’re a theorycrafter or a casual player wanting to stay ahead of the changes, this breakdown gives you everything you need to know. #ESO #ElderScrollsOnline #ESOPTS #ESONerfs #Update50 0:00 Intro 0:07 Damage‑to‑Monsters Fix 0:27 Why This Matters 0:39 Multiplicative vs Additive 1:04 What the Fix Changes 1:12 Nerf Impact Overview 1:21 Set Adjustments Incoming 1:36 Week 1 PTS Disclaimer 1:43 Ansuul’s Torment 2:07 Ansuul New Values 2:24 Uptime Improvements 2:41 Ansuul Community Concerns 2:56 Why It’s Still Strong 3:07 Bahsei’s Mania 3:15 Bahsei Scaling Fix 3:25 New Max Value 3:36 Sustain Build Value 3:40 Bahsei Still Viable 3:52 Empower & Others 4:02 Empower Additive Now 4:11 Burst Window Impact 4:18 Heavy Attack Builds 4:36 Shadow Cloak Changes 4:52 Tidborn Wildstalker 5:16 Craftable Set Context 5:27 Additive Scaling Now 5:38 Waiting on Data 5:47 Velothi Ur‑Mage 5:55 Potential Future Nerfs 6:05 Mythic Item History 6:22 Why Velothi Was Expected 6:30 Mythic Nerf Pattern 6:42 Empower & Cloak Thoughts 6:58 Tidborn Uncertainty 7:06 Trial Set Comparisons 7:13 Potential Adjustments 7:22 Expected Power Loss 7:30 Dev Comment Breakdown 7:38 Why These Were Strong 7:44 Power Loss Depends on Build 7:51 Some Sets Buffed 8:00 More Changes Coming 8:07 First Pass Only 8:13 What This Means for Players 8:21 Damage Loss for Stackers 8:29 Ansuul & Bahsei Outlook 8:37 Empower & Velothi Burst 8:50 Heavy Attack Builds 8:57 Mythic Shoulder Users 9:06 Other HA Sets 9:13 Need More Testing 9:21 Theorycrafting Thoughts 9:24 Why You Don’t Upload Builds 9:31 Strange Builds You Run 9:38 Damage Formula Clarity 9:47 Predictable Scaling Now 9:55 Build Adjustments Ahead 10:04 Week 1 Summary 10:12 More PTS Videos Coming 10:20 Many Changes This Week 10:27 Separate Videos Soon 10:36 Real Impact of This Fix 10:43 DPS & Scaling Changes 10:51 Not a Massive Nerf Yet 10:58 Wait for More PTS Weeks 11:09 Outro 11:11 Like & Subscribe 11:17 Final Sign‑Off 🎮 Get 12% off KontrolFreek Code GRAVE at checkout https://www.kontrolfreek.com/ 🥤G FUEL 20% off Code GRAVE at checkout https://www.gfuel.com/GRAVE 💲Donate To The Channel* https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted... ✅ Discord*   / discord   ✅ Twitter* https://x.com/Grave_Gaming_ 🎥 Gameplay Recorded w/ Elgato HD60 X https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming
