Bat Swarm is difficult
So lots and lots of talk that bat swarm abuse in pvp is really easy and people abuse blah de blah de blah.
From my perspective it is not true getting up a good batsworm is near impossible, for example I go near a crowd and before I can even press R I am dead. Dear Zos basically just fix pvp instead of dealing with things that are breaking pvp less.

Psst.....you may not be aware of this, but ESO isn't PvP only. It only takes me about 15 seconds in between swarms to gain another one in PvE.0 -
mossastrandSoul Shrivenfunny, 30% of my deaths in PVP are due to bat swarm. Maybe we're both bad.3

In PvE it's fine I'm talking about PvP and to be honest I am rarely actually killed by bats warms I am mostly killed by night blades who are using teleport strike even if I'm on top a wall I thought that bug was fixedBeen here since the beta1

An even more staggering number is the amount of vampires who get owned in pvp. Even if batswarm still causes some* deaths, its still too easy to die as a vamp in pvp. Even if batswarm was effective in pvp, there are so many more advantages against a vampire compared to batswarm against others.
Im just wondering why people are debating about 1 vamp move compared to all the other moves used against vamps. Like the pot calling the kettle black if you ask me.Edited by Sneak_Thief on November 3, 2014 10:47PM4 -
Khazad✭✭I go near a crowd and die by batswarm almost instantly. Except of course when there's a dozen allies around me taking the brunt of it while I frantically try to escape (only to run head-first into another DK batswarm). lol1 -
AriBoh✭✭✭✭✭Batswarm is one of the cornerstone abilities of the 1vX 'lolimsoepeen' builds that all the min/maxers use. Have a S&B/healing staff, stack your shields and spam either talons/whip or sap essence. With the bonus to ult gain from the Assault tree you get to run from one end of a keep to the other setting off 2-3 batswarms per minute depending on the density of idiots that dont get out of your way. Of course you just shield charge to the ones that do but that's neither hear nor there.khele23eb17
Agreed. Whoever came up with the design should be shot in the foot and only admitted to hospital when he manages to find 3 other people willing to maim themselves the same way in order to accompany him.

Ultimately, any method of entering an enemy keep without breaking down the door is considered an exploit. Thanks for checking!

This guy knows. I'm a vamp for the sneak speed though. Bats are just a bonus
