Did You Know About These Target Dummy Changes in ESO?

It's a little known fact that the target dummies were buffed in Update 35, making some players think they have gained DPS when they haven't.

There was some controversy surrounding the Lost Depths update in the Elder Scrolls Online, for a multitude of reasons. One of those reasons was the loss of DPS due to nerfs to various skills, especially DoT abilities.

However after the patch, players who were testing by parsing on the Iron Atronach target dummy have had similar, or in some cases higher, DPS values than they did before the patch. This may have led to some thoughts that the outrage about the combat changes was total nonsense, however as we will discuss here, the situation isn't quite that simple.

How Raid Dummies were Buffed in ESO's Update 35

Adjusted the Crusher enchant on Target Dummies to meet the Infused value, rather than an infused + Torug's Pact value.
Engulfing Flames now matches the proper 6% maximum value, down from the old 10%.
Roar of Alkosh is now the maximum 6000 Armor Reduction, up from the old 3010 value.
Attackers now gain Minor Slayer and Minor Courage.
