Idea: Merciless Resolve

icontrive · November 2016

Merciless Resolve is a great skill with a lot of potiental, but can be a bit buggy and hard to use at times. I'm not sure if anyone has ever suggested this idea but I think it is a great idea for this skill.

My suggestion would be 2 options:

First would be to modify the skill to act like sorc's crystal frag. Lower the damage and put like a 20% chance to be able to shoot the bow after using magic abilities. Also change the 8% damage increase to always active when you have the skill slotted. I feel like this would help mageblade tremendously in pvp without being too op.

My next suggestion would be to change the four light attacks that trigger the bow to magic attacks. Many times it can be hard to hit light attacks with dodge roll so I feel like this change will make it easier to proc the bow. Also this gives melee mageblades an easier time getting the bow to proc.

Those are just a couple thoughts I had. Any comments are welcome!

Disagree,passive minor brutality just by having the skill slotted is too much, while i do think that once you fire the bow that buff could get refreshed

"Many times it can be hard to hit light attacks with dodge roll so I feel like this change will make it easier to proc the bow"
Yeah thats frustating, i know

I like that idea. Firing the bow grants minor brutality for x amount of time?

there's a set that gives you minor brut permanently, but I agree that slotting one skill for the buff is too much.

Merciless Resolve:

While slotted: using a bow will scale all bow attacks from spelldamage and use magicka instead of stamina

Light and heavy attacks will disable all proc sets on enemy player.

I love this ability as it is. It's great for burst and the buff is top notch - just have to learn to weave those light attacks. The fact that virtually everyone runs it is testament enough that it's in a good spot.

Btw Merciless Resolve does not deal damage when you try to Block(animation cancel) the proc attack, the arrow mid-air disappears or something like that.
