OK ZOS lets talk about Lava Whip.

Trayyacakes · January 2015

Just a few questions.

1. How did this melee skill not get a stamina morph? A melee flame dot got one. A fire breathing skill got one... how did the whip not?

2. damage vs cost on this skill is horrendous. Not quite as bad as inhale, but still it's bad. Is the pitiful damage it does a scaling bug, or did the ability rename to lava noodle not get updated.

This is the only class skill for the DK that can provide any burst on live, and on the PTS it is a tickle.

Would love to get some feed back on this and hear if from the devs if this ability is meant to suck. Can you make that happen @ZOS_GinaBruno‌?

1) I am ok either way
2) Agree. Needs to scale properly

Overnerf til people stop using it, then re-buff it back to something reasonable?

I've been having the most trouble using it to fight anyone using harness magicka, because it costs me more magicka to try to get past the shield (and more casts) than it does for them to put the shield up.

This is in full light armor.

Lavawhip dmg (veiled strike also) on pts is really pitiful. It has to be a scaling bug or the (pretty obvious then) attempt to push melee players to actual weapon abilities.

Single target dps with molten whip on pts is stronger than the current crushing shock build.
Not to mention flame lash is a free cast and heals if the target is cc'd.

I agree its hard to get passed shield stacking, but thats down to shield stacking, not lava whip.

I don't think the follow up is free.....

cannot tell with the tooltip not saying one way or the other and the inflated numbers and changes to magicka regen make it nigh impossible to tell if there is a problem.

the pts is a different game, like someone played eso, described it to someone else, and then they tried to remake it.

as far as a stamina morph. . .no, leave the last decent (or at least it was) DK magicka dps skill alone, you already got half our other dps skills, we are keeping this one in the divorce.
