Full hybridization in The Elder Scrolls Online
Bethesda employees have scheduled the release of update 51 for The Elder Scrolls Online for late this summer. It will bring gamers a major overhaul of the role-playing system and resource combinations — the developers themselves call this a simplification for the convenience of users. Some skills will be removed as unnecessary, leveling actions will be reduced (including with the help of Mundus stones), and similar buffs will be combined. However, TESO fans will be able to remake their heroes' builds only after the patch is released, and for now it makes sense to figure out in more detail how the game will change in the near future.
What will The Elder Scrolls Online get with the release of update 51?

Starting August 31, the MMORPG in the Elder Scrolls universe should become more user-friendly. First of all, this will be expressed in the reduction of some actions. For example, duplicate effects will be removed from the game. Using Mundus stones for the four original classes will become easier: instead of installing buffs for both spell damage and weapon damage, you will be able to put only one buff. Sometimes one effect simply interferes with another: if you combine damage from "Major Sorcery" with "Minor Savagery", the system will simply choose the larger of the values, and ignore the smaller one. The same goes for "Savagery" and "Prophecy". But after the patch is released, such problems will fade into the background.
Hybridization will also affect alchemy. The properties of reagents will be combined to make the potion brewing process more understandable, but at the same time, the developers will add new benefits that were previously unavailable to alchemists. And the set of ingredients in August will be increased by four, and they will become available throughout Tamriel. In addition, the identification of each potion will be simplified: for example, if it gives a "Heroism" buff, it will be classified as "Essence of Heroism", and not magic.
