1. Implosion & slaughter shouldnt even be on this list cos thyre passives. Not an active execute.
2. Different skills scale differently and do bonus damage with different coefficients. Just cos Reverse slash starts granting bonus damage at 50% dosent mean you should cast it over WB/DS/RS at 50% for example.

I'd propose either reducing those that start at 50% either to 40% or make the scaling logarithmic (or stronger logarithmic) so you do not have any noticeable effects until opponent is down to 30%

While I don't mind that executes have a variety in their range, I feel 50% execute ranges are extreme and should be toned down.

50% doesn't mean, that using this skill at 50% is a dps-gain. For most skills it's worth using them when your enemy is at 25...35%. Maybe increase Mages-Fury-Threshold to 25% like impale/killers blade , bc they share the same mechanic (both deal full execute damage below threshhold).

Jesus Beam says otherwise.

I think Mages fury needs a buff 25% or more would be great

The only problem I see here is Radiant Destruction.

It has really long range, starts to execute at 50%, ticks multiple times in a short time frame, and cannot be reflected or dodged.

I have no idea what ZOS was thinking buffing that skill in TG DLC.

It starts to execute at 50%, yes, but you should be grateful if some noob is using this on you before say ~35% because they'd be doing more damage otherwise.

No, it can't be dodged or reflected but it can be immediately prevented by; interrupt, cleanse and cloak. You have options.

Short additoin to this: It also ticks once a second...every instant cast ability with light attacking does 2 dmg-ticks per second. So it's nowhere near "ticks multiple times in a short time frame"

Your addition is wrong. It ticks every half a second and the first tick is instant, no travel time, nothing, it is absolutely unavoidable.

If RD works as poison injection as a dot it will be way better, of course it should tick every 2 seconds. All dots should be every 2 seconds, the server requires that

They changed this with orsinium (or later, don't know exactly). radiant destruction ticks once a second. There are also a lot of dots ticking once a second, so i don't get your point there...

edit: check patchnotes for patch 2.2.5

I don't mind executes being different across classes/weapon skill lines. But there should be some balancing. Some executes hit like a truck, others hit like a wet noodle.

If they do so, they have to balance all other abilities as well. In terms of ST-DPS all classes (magicka) can get around 40k. Some rely more, some less on their execute (buffing sorcs execute wouldn't be a problem, bc they are on the lower end). But in the end it's quite balanced.
I guess problems in pvp are different, but i for myself usually don't get killed bc of someone spamming overpowered executes but bc of being outnumbered or doing mistakes.

I was exactly thinking of the sorc execute (Mage's Fury) because it's the lowest DPS of all executes, has the lowest threshold (20%) and it's quirky to use (there's not only a cast animation, making it not really spammable, but also a delay until the explosion procs).

Setting the threshhold to 25% like impale (bc they share the same mechanic, as i already said) would be great. The delay and animation aren't a problem in pve and i don't really see one in pvp. You can precast your execute in pvp which is unique and i know some people love this. But i'm more the pve-player, so i don't want to comment that heavily on pvp

Are the execute ranges supposed to synergize with groups? Each class being able to use the execute at a corresponding decreasing range of npc boss health?

As a healer I would prefer to have execution immunity.

As a healer you should be able to keep your HP above execution threshhold, which makes you immune to executions...
I don't know what you want to tell us with the first part tho...
