Seriously is this supposed to be like this? Ticking for like 18k over what seems like 10-20 seconds of ticking?
The only way I survive this is standing in a heal spam. This is not a cry thread, I'm looking for strategies.

    If you are AD or DC in Blackwater, I encourage you to run into the little red circles as they will provide you easy protection from future attacks. :smile:

    You can use purge to get rid of the ballista dot. Any other cleanse works as well. The synergy for the templar aoe heal, the nightblade dark cloak, etc.

    On my Nightblade I use Dark Cloak to remove the damage over time ticks. On my Dragonknight I use purge which removes them for everyone in area. I use purge all the time to help other players on siege who get hit.

    Not everyone can read. So inconsiderate, @Bouvin. :/

    Dodge doesn't work. If you get hit while dodging you still get hit, and you can't dodge the ticks either.
    Obviously you want to avoid the red circles. I'm talking about when you inevitably get hit.

    Rebalancing for purge is not ideal, but I suppose its an option -- I just found a good balance with things :(

    As a magicka sorcerer, I use hardened ward each tick. As a NB, cloak. As a templar, purification. As a dk… I avoid them or rely to my allies. With each magicka class, purge if I am in group, healing ward if nobody but me can take the heal.
    As a vampire, I just use cloud form before the impact.

    Fire Balista's causing you trouble on Blackwater blade?

    - Roll Dodge
    - Purge
    - Green Dragon Blood
    - Dark Cloak
    - Heals (*any number of them)

    But if you use the first well, you shouldn't need to use any of the others.

    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    Annure - AD NB Derps

    You don't actually need to rollndodge you can just sprint. Roll dodging is just being fancy and wasting resources. Which by the way I could do just as easily teleporting..
