Entropy / Meteor - Might of The Guild combo

raasdal · October 2015

Can someone confirm for me, if Might of The Guild is by Activation or by damage?

That is, lets say i cast Entropy to proc Might, then cast Meteor, and streak through my opponent (or another cc) just before the meteor hits - which ability gets the 20% buff? The Meteor that i cast just after entropy, or the CC ability i used in between?

Also, is it possible to proc back to back? Could i use Entropy to proc Might, then Meteor with the buff, and get a 2nd proc, to then use ie. Curse?

I know some of this might be easy to test, but i do not have access to Meteor right now, and am doing some theorycrafting here

Might applies to the next skill cast, so if I read your sequence correctly, you'll buff Meteor with Entropy and then buff Streak with Meteor.

You have read my sequence here correctly. Thanks for the info.!

Remember that streak will give CC immunity to opponent prior to meteor hitting, so it seems you can almost guarantee a meteor hit, the DoT and (the best part of meteor imo is) the knock down are severely hindered.

No need to worry about empowering the meteor, just use meteor when they're on a 2 inch incline so they get rubberbanded back and take 50k fall damage, because, ZOS coding.

Haven't played console, but it should be considering it's how ZOS codes fall damage and the mechanics of meteor. Stairs, breaches, hills, all bad news bears when players realize what they can do with a one-shot meteor.

@Waffennacht - i dont get what your saying really? i WANT to stun my opponent before meteor so he cannot block. I have NEVER been hit directly by a meteor unless i was in cc. Any decent player can easily block meteor since it takes ages to come, and is easy to spot.

Hey @raasdal

It is an interesting question you have here.
So when you proc the empower buff, you are able to press the skill meny and hover your mouse over skills and see that it actually have increased dmg on tooltip. But you are wondering if the dmg of the meteor gets reduced if your buffs are done before meteor actually hits the enemi, am I right?
I can try to do some testing for you soon, but want to be sure this is what you mean.

OrphanHelgen · November 2015

And yes, you can stack empower. Thats what they do on wrecking blow.

Waffennacht · November 2015

Oh, just I was just pointing out that meteor will connect yes, but that will not kill (unless opponent is already severely wounded) and the best benefits of meteor will be purged, cloaked etc... away.

With streak's stun so short a DK, Temp, Sorc and NB all have the means to recover. In PvP you will find almost all high level players will recover quickly from your combo.

Im not saying its bad, not by any means, just giving you something to consider is all. You may think about just switching streak with a longer lasting stun/knock down move, possibly a spammable soft cc, if you find what you are doing not to your standards.

Deadric Tomb->Meteor is a horrible combo at short range as they get hit by 2 of the mines - one before, one after, THEN Frag if it's up...
