    Here is why people get angry about The Beam. It's the most noticeable spell on the battlefield. Sometimes I'll use it to show my group where someone is. 3 good Templars with 9 other characters looks like 12 Templars.

    That said, the "meta builds" everyone seems to say exists right now are all stamina, and The Beam is virtually the only counter to them. However, few people complain about stamina builds because you don't easily see someone else mollywhopping a player with wrecking blow from across the way.

    Is RD very powerful? Yes, absolutely. Should it be nerfed? Not unless you want to nerf stamina builds in general. In reality what we need is a BUFF to magicka NBs, magicka Sorcs and magicka DKs.

    granted this patch stamina builds are a lot more powerful but this will not last of course. i predict an overhaul on magic builds in future updates.

    Most of my deaths from executes are from Mage's Wrath.
    But the most deaths in general come from soul tether/sap with one wrecking blow from a maelstrom mace. :D

    Radiant is annoying, yes. They should lower the execute to 25/30%, like most other executes. Other than that, it's basically as OP as the Sorcerer execute :)

    Most of my deaths ...

    - Vicious Death
    - Seige
    - Incorrect Weapon Swapping
    - Being LeRoy Jenkins
    - 75 yellows swarming me like I'm Rick Grimes.
    - Wrecking Blow
    - Honorable mention to arrows that almost kill me a lot but really never do unless I'm in my inventory.

    I die to RD maybe once every 50 deaths. It's pretty easy to avoid if you just keep your health from dropping too low.

    Just got back into eso and mf are still playing like its the only move on their bar... Is this intended to be like soul assualt or is this a broken execute?...

    Ive never seen a RD EVER kill a person at full health. If somehow it ever did its because that person stepped away from the game.

    I can relate to those 75 yellows. lol
    Best counter for me to RD is to heal then roll backwards out of range if a range spammer.

    People are so self-centered.

    Many won't see any issue with Radiant, why ? Here is the top 5 :
    1. They are Templar themselves
    2. They play in Zergs
    3. They are Range
    4. They are highly mobile (sorcs...)
    5. They have cloak

    ...or maybe they are @Wrobel :)

    Other than that, it is an absolutely OVER-BROKEN AVA mechanic, and I will voice my opinion like the hundreds others, until something so blatantly game-breaking is fixed.

    My personal grief, in addition to it being OP is that it is ABSOLUTELY SKILL-LESS. I have much more respect for a light-attack only player than a RD spammer, but I am angry at the game designer first of course Grrrrr.....

    It's very possible. You're not going to do it to someone with a good build, but yeah, it happens. My tooltip damage is 16,064 over 2.9 so if they are foolish enough not to move that last tick will get them for 20k easily.

    What is common is the ice comet-RD combo platter. 80% of Cyrodiil is doomed on that one.

    RD op? Pfff... On my sorc I almost stoped to use frags because of perma roll dodge (I use it only in certain situations like someone is charging at me, being cced and sucha) and... I kill a lot more rollers with curse, fury and heavy lightning attack. This combo is simply wrecking people if you have good stats ;) and is unavoidable + cost nothing so keep rolling rolling rolling...
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    I used that yesterday and RD is a joke compared to this.
