Haunting Curse bug

Virusx01

Is anyone else finding themselves with curse still applied to you even after you die? Ill respawn and still have the "Echo" effect still applied. I think this is due to diying and respawning immediately while curse is applied.

skvll

Yes, I died, reds @ bleakers, went out from the gate and boom, 5k damage.

FriedEggSandwich

It probably shouldn't do 5k damage to you after you've already died and re-spawned again. It's like the ultimate t-bag.

The Curse persists through death, by design in the latest Update, mostly to do AoE damage to other players/NPCs around you. They could probably look into something like auto-purging upon respawn, but I definitely hope they do not stop Curse from continuing to explode beyond initial target's death. It is a really unique and neat feature of Curse.

Qft so people are aware. Persistence through rezing seems kind of cool from a necromancer stand point however taking 5k from respawning shouldn't be too big of a deal, since you probably respawn with more than 5k HP and no enemies around you, so shouldn't be too game breaking however should be fixed. I think haunting should persist through rez as I'm an evil magicka sorcerer >:D

I would agree with persisting through battlefield rez! Not sure about releasing to a keep, though. I could see it auto-purging if you despawn and release to a keep. I mostly PvE as a sorc and love that Curse can now be used on trash and not just bosses. All those double-exploding dead trash in big Vet Maw pulls make me smile. I mostly PvP as a Templar and getting hit with AoE damage from a body I rezzing (since as a Templar I am kind of de facto group rez man) would sure be an unpleasant surprise. But I am far from world's greatest PvP player so frequent unexpected deaths are kind of par for the course for me. And the AoE damage from Curse is not as strong as single target element of Curse, so it does not feel OP or anything.

It probably should get a rework asap.

It´s a super strong nobrainer zerg ability as it stands. We fought a grp of 5 absolutely terrible sorcs yesterday. The only feat they achieved was cursing our stam players every 12s.
Which alone with the possibility of mages wrath explosion puts you in the defensive.

In the end they lost - but the pressure added by an ability only used every 12s is enormous. I think it´s way overperforming.


My proposal would be to rework daedric prey into an actual 12s dot dealing dmg every 2s for 33% of the current curse dmg.

I have not played with the new curse, but I don't really see how it's different when those sorcerers could just apply it every 3.5 seconds like always. Mabye it crutches bad players, but it doesn't change anything for good players imo, but then again I have not tested it yet.

Totally agree, curse is an embarrassment as is. I think it's been turned into a troll mechanic and I want the old duration back.

What it changes is that if I get outplayed and a NB manages to cloak before I re-curse them then I still get another shot at it 8.5s later. But why should I? Also what it changes is that now a lot of players are coming to the forums to complain about curse in pvp because they see it a lot more and the 12s duration is screwing them over. If this happens enough then zos will most likely nerf curse at some point in the future, but do you think the nerf will be to revert the haunting curse change they were so proud of? Of course not, it will be a damage or functional nerf. People never complained about curse before. The haunting curse is useless to good sorcs in pvp, I want it gone.

Fair enough, makes sense bringing up nightblades. I can see how that would be an unfair advantage.

Because it's haunting and revengeful : D

It shouldnt stop counting down and then start over when you're rezzed. It should continue to count down to explosion when you die with it on you.

Chair

Whats worse is when multiple sorcs curse me and my buff tracker shows theres no curse on me but the animation shows 1 curse then boom 4 5k explosions

Virusx01

It's not just curse. I res'd fossilized last night. Seems like an issue with skills applied to you as you get killed.

Krist

I dont particularly like haunting curse as is, but it hasn't really changed anything for my solo type of play. I have noticed that my below 50s get spam cursed and that can be a pain in the butt, but my maxed out toons shrug it off. You can heal up enough before the second hit, just make sure you get away from the crowd. Again, being a solo artist, I hardly bother with the crowd.
I do use it with my sorc as it is a quick shot and 10k damage (give or take) while you attack with other spells. However, again, I have not noticed it to be uber. Snaring and holding skills, as well as oil catapults, stop zergs in their tracks. One man on an oil cat can set up a zerg to be completely overwhelmed. Sure, some in the zerg will get out, but many that get in huge groups are there for the protection, and are not that skilled at getting loose. Have done it, and I carry oil cats with me just for that purpose.
My point is that there were already zerg busters usable by all, there was no need to change this skill, if that is why they did it.

Stop hiding. This new curse is a modest counter to cloak, which got massively buffed this patch. Cloak is now a perma-spammable magicka dodge. Everything will miss you. Not sure how in the world you can complain about the change. Getting the second pop on curse is such a modest intrusion to complete invulnerability from being targeted. What else was changed that is upsetting? Is this whole thread a QQ for nightblades who want to gank and run with no counters? Seeming that way.

olsborg

I think ive played sorc enough to know haunting curse was made too strong for pvp, they should have focused on making deadric prey the pve morph, with pets etc. And left velocious curse alone.

Calboy

There is nothing wrong with it. My issue with haunting curse is instead of the changes being reverted, due to forum complaints, it will get nerfed in damage.
