Kinda amazed crystal frags kills people. Dunno how it is killing you unless you are totally unaware there is a sorc around.

According to my EP Sorc's killcounter, crystal frags accounts for ~65-70 percent of my killing blows on players, even in organized groups. Second place is proxdet.

It is a much more dangerous skill than many give it credit for. they literally take reflection and blocking for granted, a good sorc will find the opening and make a player eat 15k SMASHFACE every time

Radiant Destruction. It is always on me, always on my death log. I would love an ability like this, I could just sit in the back of a group and tag anyone in the front of the group with a time released execute at 0 risk.

Pretty funny but it's always something different because I'm a tank and survive everything. Sure, a tank isn't what you always want to be but if you're smart you can do it real well and get that sweet AP. But yes, I'm a Imp DK tank and get meteored(reflected back), radiant destruction which tickles, shards that get reflected back, tickled by snipers. Taken on 3 soul assaults before. I kinda wonder what people are doing when they try Dawnbreaker smiting me.

Honestly, I don't get killed by skills as much as just 10 people ganging up on me with the lowest person Teabagging my body because you know, they're a total badass.

Lol dude I can relate. I literally killed over a dozen people by myself Sunday since they were stringing in 2 or 3 at a time continuously and I was killing them quickly enough, but eventually the zerg flooded in all at once and I was overtaken. They started T-bagging my corpse, as if they with their almighty skill owned me.

lmao I'm chiming into this thread again to say I can relate to that too. Yeah I spent 15 minutes inside an enemy keep on my magic nightblade literally picking off people one by one by using a heavy attack and destro reach and sending them flying off the keep to their death. Must of killed about 15 guys on my spree when they finally caught up to me I was low magicka and was swarmed by 8 guys and one threw caltrops on top of me so I couldn't stealth away and they all teabagged my corpse as if they were the best players ever. One of the guys teabagging me accounted for about 5 of those deaths caus he kept respawning and walking to the edge of the keep walls again, you'd think he'd learn after the first or second death >_>

Hmm, ok, I can see that. I can't do as high damage as you, but frags can leave a dent for sure, and I die to good sorcs too. It's just that when it comes down to it ~12-15k is not as high as other things I've seen, especially as a chance insta-proc damage ability that is dodgeable, blockable, and reflectable.

Mass Hysteria messes either Jab morph up.

Anyway, what usually gets me on my Magicka-based melee Nightblade is other players.

Here I am, trying to take care of my public service ganking, MINDING my own business, when my target's buddies pop out of stealth and blast me back to Aetherius.

It's almost like people run in groups because they don't want to die, or something.

Honestly I have yet to be hit by anything harder than a crystal fragment. It was 18k

It's either the unskilled spam of magicka based melee attacks while have right mouse buttons taped down (great mechanic to leave in game for months on months there ZOS).

or the hey what's that guy doing he looks lagged, bam zip 5 attacks hit you at once cheats (that's another wow ZOS you really suck for letting this go on for a year or so).

I think that's about the highest I've gotten hit from crystal frags too (usually surprise attacks where I probably didn't have any mitigation going, it's the knockdown animation that sucks too with a hard hit, lol). Out of weapon/class abilities Snipe and Radiant Destruction have hit me hardest, though I can usually survive them if I react fast enough. While NB skills and other weapon skills aren't the hardest hitting, per se, they usually kill me most in conjunction with CC and/or when multiple hits of physical damage land around the same time. That hurts on light armor. :-]

Jesus Beam..the one with the morph that doesn't even show the beam and just drops you dead and you have to read about it on your death recap after saying wtf hit me!!!

Taleof2Cities

Steel Tornado and Radiant Destruction spam are what gets me the most. Glad RD is getting a fix in 2.1 ... been holding off on using it in PvP. OP summarized it pretty good - "dishonorable mention".
