Talons and similar have only become an issue again because of the rapid increase in costs for blocking and dodging so where a month ago you would roll out, roll again and roll again and not really care now a few root 'n rolls drains your stamina pool.

I said this some time ago before the new roll nerf came out.

Any magicka dk / sorc can spam encase/talons more than a stamina build can dodgeroll out of them. Not even talking about poor magicka builds now with the increased rollcost :<

Annoying as feck, tough nerf talons I'm not sure it's a good idea. DK's have enough of nerfs already ^^

I'm with you here - no need to nerf root skills, just ease back on the nerfs to dodge and block.

So how is a magicka DK suppose to hit anything without their roots lol?

They have 0 mobility. They have 0 gap closer. They have no ranged dps skills. So they're suppose to snail parade 20 meters behind the enemy and wave into thing air or wut?

You can Purge Talons. The cost of Efficient Purge is the same as Talons. I call that a solid counter. Stamina builds cant spam Purge sure, but they also have mobility to easily outmanoeuvre a magicka DK.

Besides, it's not as if standing in Talons for a few seconds will kill anyone. The dmg is pathetic fire DoT.

Its not the talons that kill you its the horrible things the res of the raid do to you while you are stuck that gets you.

But for a DK surely you have the same gap closers as anyone elsr from weapon skills and ranged options, you have a cheap jump/knockdown ulti and you have chains to pull people to you - thats a few you could consider.

You know, you don't *have* to break the talons because you can fight perfectly fine in them.

I mean, it's probably a magicka DK, not too hard to defeat.

Talons can also be purged/cleansed/rapid maneuvered if you really want to break out of them and move somewhere.

Buff magicka skills and make talons a hard Cc along with bombard. It'd the most *** thing to be able to spam root over and over again to the point where a Zerg can run guys that purely do this.

Dodge roll is not an option for most magicka builds that run out of stam after 2 rolls

But purge is an option for magicka builds.
Lest talk about fear as @Beesting pointed. This the most OP skill in the game. It doesnt break on damage, it has terrible animation and you are not able to break it immediately, drain your stamina and if you are out of stamina you are dead.

Fossilize is *** break and roll GG

Magicka DK's suck so bad... All they have is talons which is garbage against a good group. Because Magicka DK is so weak, I can't remember the last time I even saw one on the battlefield...

babanovac

It funny that the word people use when it comes to talons is "annoying".

In the name of all magika DKs i apologies for being a nuisance on the battlefield.

willymchilybily

OP many have said magicka users can purge(snares and roots), stamina users can use retreating maneuvers and dodge roll.

You posts indicate you don't understand what soft CC is or know you could do this indicates you need to learn the game mechanics a bit better before making suggestions about them, especially class specific suggestions, on a class you likely dont play.

Magicka = not slotting shield charge/crit charge/ using weapons

Chains is ....its more a gap diminisher than gap closer. The amount of times i use it follow with talons and the guys is out of range. its just another over nerfed move and grants cc immunity but has no immobilizing/stunning effects. The Guy is off and out fo range before the animation finishes. Have to use it 3 times to land it once due to Z axis nerf. Ambush now there's a gap closer

people claiming the dragon leap ultimate is a gap close, is beginning to bug me. Firstly not available on demand, secondly our damage is so bad we actually need to use the ultimate as a burst finisher, (remember we have no class exectute). If you see someone open with dragon leap, they are likely new to PvP/DK, or a tank/distraction.

Yup, I as well prostrate myself before all of the pvp community for being "annoying"with my talons. I guess I will mass hysteria in its place. Oh wait...look at that my bad...been playing my new NB too much apparently due to how awesome my magic DK is I had to back off and play a different class to not be to OP on the battlefield with a magic DK. My bust.

I agree, but it would be nice to be able to turn while in them.

Birdovic

Again a nerf Thread? (Asking for soft cc immunity)
Oh Boy

Im Sorc and I think talons should stay as effective as they are(+ work reliable).
As DK's have no means of escape, they should remain dangerous...at least in close range

I agree, but it would be nice to be able to turn while in them.

And this is a nice idea.

Agreed. The nerf to dodge and block just makes Talons worse versus stamina builds. Give the dodge roll back, its not like you aren't still doing damage to the person you taloned anyway. At least the dodge rolling lets someone set up to defend against the talon-whip spam you're going to receive, if they're stamina dps. The nerf to dodge rolling just means that the Stamina DPS has even less resources in this instance. I think there's a balanced approach in here somewhere.

@ZOS give Every skill the stamina nerf treatment, if you use the same skill within a 3 second window u should pay double the cost, the only reason anyone would not like this is because they have no clue about balance also as seen in this thread lol.

I assume you're a magicka build user? The way you talk on nerfing stamina user. I also assume you either a sorc(highly assume) Templar or nightblade but I doubt it. If you talk about netting stamina user then that mean they have to nerf magicka user aswell if you play sorc you should know how op are crys frags are and wait... Detonation just spam those two skills. I'm talking this to players who doesn't have reflective scales slotted. got 15k spell resist and they still hit me for 8k+ damage ( I assume that is crit)

You meant Magicka builds. Anyway you don't die because you can't move. You die because you panic and do the wrong counter.

DK's using talons every 3-4 seconds with no immunity timer = a joke or what?

Umm you can use shuffle which gives immunity to snares and roots for a short time, rapids prevents snares and roots, you can purge, and also dodge roll.

Learn to utilize the tools that are available and stop crying, QQ'ers like you is why the pvp in this game is so messed up because zos feels the need to cater to everyone who cries for nerf.

Cool so with our purgable dots, that otherwise last quite a while all we are left with for damage is whip, which you want us to pay double for if we use it twice in 3 seconds. Lol and you think they don't have a clue, what a bad idea. Please don't @ them with stuff like that. I bet PvE would just love this.

Oh my god. This is why Magicka DKs are unplayable. Because players that have zero clue about all the classes and his the fare versus each other, strengths, weaknesses, are allowed to post

You have no idea how silly this post is.

Answer one question please. When did you start playing?

Didn't you read Darnathian? We disagree with him because we have no clue about balance. He is the only one with the clues that lead to balance so we just have to recognize that he is a genius and far beyond our capacity to comprehend.

Stoney_McGeee

how else is a DK suppose to keep targets from running away out of our range?
lets just make DKs into meatsheilds i guess.. (until people complain about their "tankyness")

"Give EVERY skill the stamina nerf treatment"

I guess im going to have to start typing like im dealing with toddlers...

Every skill magika or stamina should cost more if spammed.

This change would be for ALL classes, no wonder you guys don't understand balance, you can't even read....

No matter what I say some stupid DragonKnight comes in here defending like WHAT AM I GONNA DO IF IT COST DOUBLE? I HAVE NO SKILLS TO USE. Sigh stupidity at its finest in this forum lol, you guys just assume so much you might as well have conversations with yourselves...

that's why I put @ZOS and not @TheKeyboardWarriorChildrenOnTheForums

Yeah, why adress the whining to yourself, right.

You are crying about the talons of a magica dks which is undoubtedly the weakest magicka class in this game.
Please L2p and git gud.

LazyLewis

Talons, Bombard and Encase all work the same. Arguably Bombard is better as its conal, from a range and does more damage. NERF DK SO OP OMG MAKE IT MORE UNPLAYABLE!

Cody

You should have been playing back in the days of 1.5 and before. Talons was MUCH. WORSE. No amount of rolling and purging would save you.

Nowadays its one of the few things I have seen so far that a mana DK can really do.

I suppose an immunity timer wouldn't hurt, but its not really needed imo

maxlax28b14_ESO

This is just a fail post. Magicka dk's are in a very difficult spot in pvp at the moment, and you call out the nerf hammer qq without doing any proper research or just pay attention to the meta of the game? Please come back when you do the little homework about dk's and learn to play a little.

That's what they have done in that new mmo Black Desert. You can spam any skill but it is 80% less effective for the first second after, 60% less effective for the 2nd second after etc.. Not sure how they work some skills, damage skills are easy, but what about utility skills? How can you make Purge 80% less effective?

Kind of a similar idea but just with costs increasing 80% more, 60% more, 40% more etc... After 5 seconds normal cost again.

Sounds good in theory, but it would require such an overhaul of gameplay.

rordogg

NBs are running around in cloak completely rehealing themselves with vigor while stealthed and DKs need another nerf? This is a bad joke right?
