Firstly it's a channeled execute, you must have had not a lot of health and trying to heal while being executed by it xD

Bdawwg

I'm pretty sure on console the death recap shows the entire damage over time for the execute not the separate ticks. Therefore the original 6k was the damage it hits out of execute range for the 3s and likewise the 27k in execute phase over the channeled time.
Low health+ high magicka + crit chance can add up a lot

Another person that doesn't understand that that is a full channel (most likely).

I blame ZoS though. How hard would it be to have it read:

Radiant Destruction 27000 (4x)

Addons have been able to do it since, oh I don't know, the beginning of the game?

There would be a lot less confusion and threads about certain DoT and channel skills.

Strider_Roshin

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous.

I don't know if this has changed, but it is dodgeable is they cast it at you dodge roll and get los

L2P issue. It's working as intended so says Zos so you can qq your heart out it won't matter.

its can no longer be dodged ...hence all the moaning ...the high visability of it makes it worse to, if you get sniped by 3 players you don't really see that , 3 radiant on you is very noticable

of course I do but that's the problem really isn't it, an execute full channel..

which no other execute happens to be.

An execute that does over 6k none execute damage in pvp is pretty op just saying.

you dou realize that those 6k dmg are three ticks of an unrupted channeled ability and thus is weaker than 3 consecutivly used instant executes? not even mentioning the 3 possibly added light attacks adding another 1.5k+ each.... the different amounts of stamina needed to reduce the dmg etc.
and you are still trying to claim the supriosety of jesus beam over other executes?

It can't be dodged but there are literally a ton of options to stop it. Bash it, Absorb it with Harness Magicka, CC the Temp, put CP into DOT resist/magic dmg resist, Line of sight it, Interrupt with Poison Arrow/Destro staff shock etc etc. Not only that but it directly points out the guy doing it to you, if you let it tick on you for 3 seconds you deserved to die.

The only situation at the moment that it is unfair in is when a Templar sits at the back of a group and just touches people with 30% health once for the kill. They let their group weaken people and the Templar finishes them off. But honestly any class with a ranged execute was going to do this. Sorcs can do this too.

Lol...these radiant destruction post are getting ridiculous...id like to see a build based on any of the other executes where they spam the living *** out of it, from full health to zero...i don't think people would notice much a difference, if anything because radiant is so easily broken it SHOULD be slightly more powerful (like it is....SLIGHTLY) against full health. But against low health, if a player of any class uses an execute, it doesn't matter what it is...ur dead unless you bubble or block it

Templars complain about WB, ZOS says it's working as intended, Templars still complain about it and ask for a nerf. Seems only logically fair.

I feel like we need to have a Templar Convention. Everyone get together in Cyrodill and just shoot lasers at each other.

These threads are making me want to make a build based solely around using JB.

Lutallo

JB ticks all count as one on the death feed, and it's about 4 second channel.
So you're taking 27k over 4 seconds ~ 7k damage per second.
I'd be willing to bet that if you spammed any execute on a low health target over a 4 second period, you would get the same damage numbers, if not better.
