This must have been a ninja patch change maybe?, Im not complaining, i'll take it!. I watched my BOL absorb numerous Ice Comets and other big rocks from outer spacing trying to get me. I would get the indicator around my feet, pop BOL, watch Ice Comet hit my bright, shiny ball and do no damage to me whatsoever.

I haven't had much trouble with Meteor anyways, but its nice that BOL completely counters it as well as Defensive Posture and Reflective Scales.

The only question is, can we get away from the nightly Meteor shower that has become so common in Cyrodiil? The first few days was funny to see Meteors raining on the flags inside of keeps, but now...ahh...it is funny when you have lag and you got like 50 delayed meteors all incoming at one time LOL!

"Here in his shrine, that they have forgotten. Here do we toil, that we might remember. By night we reclaim, what by day was stolen. Far from ourselves, he grows ever near to us. Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be. - Miraak

    It always has absorbed Meteor. You can see it happening at the end of my Emp PvP video.

    I prefer meteor to hit me so I can reflect it back at them. I have some great kill shots using that I'm working into the next video.

    If you're going to cast meteor at someone with S&B, you better have a reflect of your own up and ready or face the consequences.

    I got killed twice in 20 minutes by the same DK reflecting my meteors the other night. It's just timing -- I didn't cancel it quickly enough. Heh. It was actually funny :)

    But... I think I'm taking that skill off the bar for mass PvP. It's fun, but I probably do my group more good with a Barrier loaded, and Barrier never embarrasses you. The alternative, to run S&B myself, would probably be smarter, but I'm committed to the flexibility Destro/ Resto gives you.

    Eventually people will stop using these when they realize they aren't nearly as effective as the neat sounds and light shows would suggest.

    If anything, I find the biggest danger from this spell is when it does NOT target me as it is more difficult to predict and counter.

    It is much more satisfying to see the meteor coming, use defensive stance, and then watch it fly back into the caster's face. Why let that ulti/set proc go to waste?

    That sounds fun. I may have to run around with s/b one day just to do this. But I can never ditch my Crushing Shock ;o
