    I've always thought it was wrong sorcerers could get away from me when I taloned them simply by streaking instead of purging or roll dodging . On the other hand, sorcs can encase me and I can't leap to them without purging or roll dodging. But hey, that's just balanced game play, magicka dk is so op anyway. Heaven forbid it could actually be able to hit anything.

    Frags: They hit you unless you cloak as they are casting.

    Meteor: You have to dodge roll then cloak to get away from it.

    WB: Cloaking as they are winding up the swing negates it, yes.

    Snipe: If you survive a snipe long enough to cloak they aren't doing snipe correctly, I personally get instakilled to the point where my mag/stam drops to zero and I'm unable to do anything despite being able to walk around for around 10 seconds...then my health drops because I've been dead for around 10 seconds.

    Chains: Cloaking does negate that.

    I never said cloak CAN'T negate things, I'm saying it for most things is a timing issue.

    Meteor still is impossible to negate in my experience, I cloak as soon as I hear it start dropping and it'll still hit me if I don't dodge roll a second or two before it hits and cloak.

    it still hits the ground and leaves an AoE for the record.

    Incorrect.

    I've been targeted by meteor spammers quite a bit since the patch, cloak does nothing to stop the meteor from dropping.

    I have to dodge roll as its about to hit and then cloak to escape all damage.

    I guess if you mean "Cloak lets you get away from meteors dropped on other people." then yes, yes it does.

    I do not know what to say except that you are wrong. Yes, the meteor will drop on me and show a brief animation. But if i cloak just before, i will take no damage, no CC and i will not get pulled out of cloak. I will see the meteor drop on me, but disappear that very instant it drops.

    If you still think this is wrong, i wish you the best of luck. I do not know what else to say in this discussion.

    Talons do not need a nerf at all. DKs were built for heavy armor and have really bad heals and no escapes, so they need to be able to keep enemies close. If you are running out of stamina as a stam nb, sorc or templar roll dodging away after 1 or two times, you are doing something wrong. If you are right next to a dk as a ranged class, well, you are SUPPOSED to be at a disadvantage, they are melee, you are not, they excel in melee range, you do not.

    Bravo! Well Done!

    I don't run a nightblade however I did notice a timing issue for cloak and meteor....

    Meteor can most definitely be cloaked. It's happened to me many many times. However last night I dropped one on a nightblade he cloaked but apparently cloaked too early as when he reappeared (before the meteor landed) the meteor dropped on him for full damage. So possible timing issue? Individual glitch? Or bug?

    That said it can definitely be cloaked as I've seen it happen had it happen to me and irritates me every time. It can't be reflected now but somehow night blades can just disappear away from it

    I'm tired of my Talons being completely useless because sorcs just streak away or NBs just ambush spam me but talons can get me from dragon leaping? Doesn't make sense. So please make it root the player completely even if it means increased cost or something
    @ZOS

    sure but make it count as a cc as well so I'm not just standing there like a moron.
