A Dro-m'athra affected by Weakness to Elements
Weakness to Elements: Duration: [17 / 18 / 19 / 20] seconds.
Send the elements to sap an enemy's defenses and afflict them with Major Breach for [17 / 18 / 19 / 20] seconds, reducing their Physical and Spell Resistance by 5948.
Elemental Susceptibility: Range: 30 meters.
Send the elements to sap an enemy's defenses and afflict them with Major Breach for 1 minute, reducing their Physical and Spell Resistance by 5948. While this ability is active, the target is afflicted with Burning, Chilled, or Concussed every 6 seconds.
Elemental Drain: Duration: [20 / 21 / 22 / 23] seconds.
Send the elements to sap an enemy's defenses and afflict them with Major Breach for [20 / 21 / 22 / 23] seconds, reducing their Physical and Spell Resistance by 5948. Also applies Minor Magickasteal to the enemy for [20 / 21 / 22 / 23] seconds, causing you and your allies to restore 168 Magicka every 1 second when damaging them.

Weakness to Elements reduces an enemy's spell resistance. It has no casting cost, and is instant, so the only thing you're giving up is a slot on your weapon bar, to make all of your attacks more effective. The Elemental Susceptibility morph lasts for 1 minute and randomly applies Burning, Chilled, or Concussion every 6 seconds, while Elemental Drain restores your Magicka to anyone who deals damage to the target.

Notes

  • Elemental Drain is a recommended morph for the Deathweaver build.
  • Casting Weakness to Elements or Elemental Drain on a target is not treated as an attack and will not trigger a response from the target. Elemental Susceptibility is treated as an attack.
  • With Update 28, the amount of magicka returned by Minor Magickasteal was reduced from 300 to 168.

Patch Notes

  • Elemental Drain: This passive ability's magicka restore will no longer erroneously trigger on damage-over-time ticks, or multiple times for a single ability cast.
  • This ability will no longer agro monsters. Using this ability on a target that is already affected now properly refreshes the duration instead of removing it. This ability also now has a graphical effect.
  • This ability now has no cost and can be applied to multiple targets, and now afflicts the target (or targets) with the debuff Major Spell Resistance Reduction for 18 seconds.
  • Elemental Susceptibility (morph): This ability now refreshes its duration when you damage the affected target.
  • Elemental Drain: Fixed an issue where multiple ranks of this ability could stack their magicka restore.
  • Elemental Susceptibility (morph): Fixed an issue where the visual effects were not being refreshed whenever the debuff from this morph was refreshed.
  • Fixed an issue where some weapon abilities (Blade Cloak, Volley, and Wall of Elements) could not proc Weapon Enchantments.
  • Adjusted the order of the Active Abilities in this skill line. They now unlock in the following order:
  • Elemental Drain (morph): This morph no longer restores a flat value of Magicka whenever you deal Flame, Frost, or Shock Damage to the target. Instead, it applies Minor Magickasteal to them.
  • Elemental Susceptibility (morph): This morph now persists indefinitely, until the target leaves combat or dies, rather than lasting 20 seconds and refreshing whenever they take damage from you.
  • Elemental Susceptibility (morph): Reworked this morph to no longer last until the target leaves combat, and instead increases the duration to 1 minute. While this ability is active, the target is afflicted with Burning, Chilled, or Concussion every 6 seconds.
