Sleet Storm and its morphs

ioResult · October 29

Sleet Storm and its morphs should reduce the movement speed of the caster the same amount as the ability does to those snared by the ability's AoE.

Beyond this, the Warden should be slowed down for the duration of the ability's AoE until it ends.

These are snow, sleet, frost abilities, therefore they should reduce the caster's speed while the caster walks around the entire time this AoE is blowing around them.

Right now in Cyrodiil you have packs of Wardens running around at speed cap all spamming this ability and its morphs while each one of them is also running Rush of Agony and other pull-ins which don't trigger any CC immunity on those pulled in. It's ridiculous.

So please make this ability more realistic. The caster's movement speed is reduced for the duration of the AoE by the same amount as the AoE snare does to all those affected.

And while you're at it ZOS, fix Rush of Agony's range check and give those pulled in by it the CC immunity they deserve after being pulled in.

I understand you dont like sleet storm in pvp, but that idea is genuinely stupid.

Dragonknights should singe themselves as well, when they cast Standard of Might.

And Sorcerers should take the same amount of damage from Overload as their targets, because the same current flows through them, too!

Right?

NBs should also assassinate themselves casting stamina abilities or siphon their own life anytime they cast mag abilities since they are all about assassinations and siphoning life with blood magic

Templars should stab themselves when they cast a spear ability because spears are sharp

Necros should just become corpses every time they cast anything since they're all about corpses, life and death.

Right?

If we look beyond the hyperbole "balance suggestions" from OP, let's not pretend that Northern storm isn't a bit over the top. The ultimate was already a very solid one and I genuinely don't get why they decided to buff it not too long ago.

especially since the ways we suggested to change it were to help pve to maybe make it as a competitor to bear, and they made it more bursty but keeping it as the same overall dps which was like the opposite of what we wanted

Why is it genuinely stupid?

God forbid we have anything in the game that remotely obeys any laws of physics. Did you fail science classes? Sounds like it.

Because you forget this is a video game and not real life. Punishing players will just send them to Throne and Liberty faster.

An ice mage is slowed down by their own magic? That is what makes this idea stupid...

If you're invisible, then light passes through your eyes without stopping, meaning if you're invisible you shouldn't be able to see! (Sorry, I had to share that one).

Just because you're mad at the ability doesn't mean i failed science classes. Trying to apply real world physics to an ultimate ability IN A VIDEO GAME is so goofy lol.

If zos started snaring players for using ice magic out of the sake of "realism" then people would stop using magic abilities in the game really quick since you'd probably light yourself on fire for using fire abilities, or paralysing your own character for using shock magic.
