Skewed Skill Damage

Really? Zenimax, is this really another "working as intended" design decision for pvp? One of a plethora of skills that are capable of being ramped up by the player to hit the average players entire HP pool...and this is while eating through armor stats and passives etc. Your new strat on combat damage and scaling is atrocious. You guys had it nearly as close as possible to the "sweet spot" back in October post 1.3 for balance on skills and classes and siege. Of course there was still some work to do to get to the optimal sweet spot, but you were so so close. Now this whole system is trashed with all this b.s. one hit damage and cc locking, and let's not get into all the laundry list of combat and skills dysfunction that just compounds the horrific player experience in pvp combat.

These kinds of one shot numbers (and this is not even the highest numbers that I have seen either) does not make pvp more thrilling or exciting, it makes pvp less meaningful and leaves people frustrated and want to leave...AGAIN. I know what it does do, it sells copies............

Well... it has almost 2 seconds cast time. Tell me you can't bash, roll dodge, block or run through the player (which should detarget you) casting it..

it has 1 second cast time and cannot be interupted , dodge rolling and running in to the player might work , all i would do is dodge roll away from the player , so he cant run into me and cast wreaking blow again , if the opponent is magicka based he is dead

It's 1 second and cannot be interrupted but yeah.

Also: "ZOMG! Did someone actually activate dawnbreaker?"

looking at that screen shot, the word "reckt" comes to mind.

Falcon punch?

I don't understand how his subsequent WB hit for barely more than 10% of the damage of the first one.
