✭It’s just a little silence guys... followed by just a little bag cuz you literally couldn’t do jack **** about it.3 -
Blinkin8r✭✭✭✭✭Leave the silence but add the stun and major defile back too. Also make it stun from 75 ult and it'll be a perfectly balanced skill .II Blinkin II

No "investigating" needed, just remove the Silence and all is well.Edited by FlamingBeard on 7 May 2019 21:4432 -

✭✭✭✭✭ZOS showed long ago they don't care about magicka classes in general. We are recieving nerf after nerf. Magicka sets sucks when compared to stamina ones. They have nerfed magicka ONLY (outside of being vampire) way to stay mobile to 2s. They gave stamblade FREE piercing mark allowing them to disable most important skill of their magicka counterpart completely for free. Now they are giving them OP incap. Healing ward got nerfed long time ago. Shade soon will be broken for over a year.
Nah... I'm done, even if they revert some changes I'm sick and tired of fighting every single patch for survival. Each patch they came up with some "brilliant" ideas making game only worse. Glad I didn't pre-ordered Elsweyr.

Well... you can dodge incap - it is single target. Also you are no longer stunned by it... so you can just run away... just like you can walk out of negate. Besides - it is only 3 seconds. That is a very small window really. Sometimes server lag is worse than that tbh.Yamenstein wrote: »I don't get it. Don't sorcs have a 12 sec ult that silences all enemies in it ? And deals damage ?
The only difference is you can't roll out of incap strike and it only affects one person. But also sorc ult affects multiple people and has a higher cost.
How often is incap strike front bared for the regen to be effective? Wouldn't dawnbreaker be more common on front.
Well but you can counter the sorc ult by dodging out or smart movement ( it is still realy strong agaisnt magica chars) you cant do that against incap, stamblade is also one of the classest with the highest burst in the game so yeah that will be fun
Small note:
On my stamina characters I run some magicka skills for utility. You know, purge and stuff. Maybe ZOS wants magicka characters to run at least this one stamina skill ? Idk to be honest what they are up to.
My god, sorcs did that again ! Remember the cast time on shields that ZOS proposed some updates ago ? And all mag characters (mostly sorcs since shields) cried so hard that it created an Ocean on Sahara Desert ? Well.... it seems that they did that again.ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote: »Heyo Gang!

It's on the wrong skill, more importantly it's on the wrong class if it's going to be anywhere in the game.0331

Trandaner✭✭✭Tommy_The_Gun wrote: »Well....lets honour this ultimate with 3 seconds of silence....
Jokes aside - 3 seconds is almost like nothing. You wont even notice that since, you will be able to move, roll dodge or cast stamina skills. Even if you will be stunned from stealth by this Ultimate, after immediately breaking free, you will have like 1 - 1,5 seconds of silence left. LAG sometimes is longer than that. Especially if you PvP on EU server...
Being objective here, this ultimate does imho too little to justify 120 ulti cost. Sure, you can cast it on lower ulti points but then it will do almost nothing. I can't see myself using that skill. In fact I dont since Summerset, because Dawnbreaker is much better option. And lets not forget - it is a single target only. Technically it should be compared more to Berserker Strike (Two-Handed ulti) rather than Dawnbreaker since this is also single target ulti.
Besides, since global cooldown is a thing, what a NB is supposed to do within those 3 seconds ? 1 light attack + skill ?
Imho will simply be a dead morph and pretty much every one, whenever stam or mag nb will run Soul Harvest (if they will run this ulti at all).
If you can only cast one light attack + Skill within 3 seconds you are doing something wrong and shouln't be allowed to take part in this discussion.
But thanks for your opinion, now go roleplay a little bit.15 -

HankTwo✭✭✭✭✭I don't get why ZOS doesn't discuss such game changing ideas with the class reps before proposing them in the patch notes. I'm 100% confident that the reps would have advised against this change. Judging by @Masel 's reaction, they didn't know about this at all. I had hope because of the staff changes in the combat design team, but this rate ZOS will just lose more and more trust from the community - again - because they propose crazy changes like this…PC EU

StShoot✭✭✭✭Can you please bring back wrobel ? he seemed to be the only one who kept those devs at zos in check and REDUCED the bad ideas of the devs,
I was allways disgusted that sorcerers negation only hurts magica players, but this is even worse. @ZOS There is allready a big power gap between magica and stamina users in the game that will make it worse.
My opinion: Zos only announced that crap to distract from the other *** that goes live with elsweyr, so ppl cry about the sillence on incap and forget about everything else

The only "counterplay" is to remove this ridicilious change to begin with and also remove the person that had this fine idea from contributing to any nb changes whatsoever.
This is utterly broken and it is a joke that this is even considered to begin with!30 -

So first devs are making some change and implementing it to the PTS and after that investigating counterplay for it ? I am no dev but shouldn't that procces work inversely ?24 -

Really just get rid of the silence, it existing in the first place is already very concerning, About as concerning as no one who was involved with changing incap either speaking up About the consequences or not even noticing them.
You dont Need to make counterplay Options for the silence on incap, you Need to actually make incap stop being as overloaded as it is in every Iteration said ultimate has seen. It already is a very potent single target ultimate with a high burst that also increases further Damage by 20%.

Modesty is speaking of oneself without vanity.
Self control is keeping calm even when anger rises.

Can... we just revert the change? Removing the defile was fine, maybe that + keep the sustain change.
Adding counterplay will not address the harm this does to the balance between magicka and stamina in PvP. In the context of world PvP group fights this will make it far harder to avoid focus from multiple players as a magicka toon, and will tilt group comp towards stamina more than it already is currently.10 -

✭That could be fine with 200 ult, not freaking 120 and NB's ult gen. Sorcs have a small bubble that you can easily dodge out and it costs twice as much. And Sorcs dont generate ultimate faster.2 -

Right but imagen having more than one nb on your heels, also i think no nb ever slotted incap for the stun, they either casted it from stealth (free stung+ mostly unblocked hit) or after they feared you1 -

Magicka builds run dodge, block and break free, as well as any actual utility skills they can get their hands on for not too steep an opportunity cost. For example, Shuffle was very popular before requiring 5 medium armor pieces, forward momentum has been used on certain magicka classes despite requiring a suboptimal weapon choice, granting a useless buff and healing for next to nothing, and dark exchange is a staple on magicka sorcs.DAGON - ALTADOON - CHIM - GHARTOK
