How long will ZOS let Dawnbreaker exploiting run rampant?

✭✭✭✭✭How is it "broken"? In mtg "broken" was reffering cards that were powerful but not breaking rules.
To me its broken if there is a glitch, like it says 1000 dmg but deals 100 damage.
If its a better ability its just that good. No abilities are equal persay. I read this is broken, NBs broken, templar broken, sorc is broken.
Just seems like things are good.
Of course there will be things uber good against vamps, there would be no trade off without a draw back. (Ur a creature of the night and historically speaking one good guy kills many vamps, hello blade or hellsing.)
I like power, either against me or for me, I would hate to see the game become bland because everyone is complaining about every ability and category0 -

Why would i use it? I get much more damage by spamming Jabs over and over again. The weapon damage bonus is the only reason i even slot it.
@Joy_Division I am with you. Many of the design choices are half thought through only. I slot meteor on my sorc as well and I have dawnbreaker slotted on my nightblade. If you have only lesser suitable choices otherwise, you take the best one irrespective of this.Joy_Division wrote: »
Isn't The definition of "exploit" the abuse of a game mechanic that has an unintended or bugged effect?well, personally I have a hard time calling the straight up use of an ability an "exploit".
That said, dawnbreaker of smiting is currently clearly bugged, and needs fixing
By that standard, flat out using a bugged ability is an exploit. Sadly, this is usually tolerated in this game.
Because the game would be unplayable otherwise.
So I am a sorcerer, what ultimate do you want me to use since people will b**** at me for slotting meteor and I'm a hack for using Dawnbreaker? The useless atrnoach? The nerfed-to-the-ground negate? Overload which can't hit all the perma-dodge rollers?
Was I not supposed to use fire trebs because the first DoT ticked immediately? It is the only tool in the game designed to counter enemy siege weapons on top of castle ramparts.
How exactly is the use of nirn supposed to be police and not tolerated?
A DK without flame lash in the 1.6 environment where it's burst or die?
It is ZoS's responsibility to provide us with a functioning and balanced game. Not my responsibility to run a gimped build and compete against the many players who do not measure up to your standards of what is good sportsmanship.
But I would never go on the forums and post useless things like
This makes one look like a poor sod who is unable to survive without exploits and desperately tries to defend what little chance of success they have. Hence, I cannot take those serious.
Also, i never said that the instant DOT tick should not be fixed...
And again, if you are being one shot by this ability, i think its time for you to rethink your build.Edited by tplink3r1 on 25 July 2015 20:29VR16 Templar

How is fear broken if I may ask?
You probably talking about CC-break acting out? That has happend to me multiple times from:
Wrecking blow
Petrify
CF knockdown
Leap/Take flight
etc etc. Its the cc break thats the issue. Fear works normally most of the times, and most of my opponents break it without issues (except when bugging out or heavy lag, but what works then?)
Stop crying about the only skill that can force you to drop your permablock

Reading comprehension? The text of the original post clearly indicates it's about people jumping onto the bandwagon because it's a broken ability.Lava_Croft wrote: »
