Heavy Attacks not Bashable?

JackDaniell

I'm sick of people waving sticks in my face. Why has this mechanic still not been fixed?

Post to show your support!

This is such a negligible issue, if they fix everything else and this stays I will be ecstatic.

Not being able to stop massive magicka regen is a bit more than negligible though.

These needs fixed for that reason if none other.

massive magicka regan with basically zero consequence is outrageuous. I'm tired of people with restoration staves using resto heavies at point blank range and gaining huge magicka for it, while not having to worry about getting interrupted. It's a cheap and lame way for people to score easy magicka(and stamina too) and needs to be fixed.

Stop adding in the next Grindzone ZOS, and please fix this issue.

I can never remember my lighting staff heavy attacks ever being interuptable. The only times I ever gotten interuoted is with a shield charge, templar superman, crystal frag, etc.

Its no different then heavy attacks with bows and swords restore stamina, so you can do it too.

If they are doing at point blank range knock them down, I do it all the time with frag procs, I see DK shield charge. If your an archer spam poisin injection while their doing the rest heavy attack and kill them.

I'm just saying there is viable counters and I haven't even listed them all.

Its not the same. You can block heavy attacks from fire and ice stuff. You block meele heavy attacks. You can block AND reflect Bow heavy attacks.

The point is, Resto staff give more magicka return then other staff with heavy attack and this attack can not be blocked or interrupted.

Agreed. Channeled attacks are interruptible, and resto heavy attack channel was too, until some patch ago broke it.

Funny thing is, venom arrow doesn't interrupt it despite it clearly being casted

Sypher

It has ruined small scale and 1v1 pvp in certain cases.

Armitas

Agree this is a pain.

Was probably when they changed it to give more resources back when they nerfed the damage boost from Cycle of Life

This!

It has turned a lot of small scale/1v1's in to seemingly endless fights...

Subtomik

Yup, can't just follow around healers and bash to CC people with poor magicka management.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was on purpose because people with no situational awareness complained about getting bashed.

for starters: it's not poison injection that interrupts channaled attacks, it's venom arrow.

and 2. not every one has the ability to knock players down with something like crystal frags. Have you ever considered DW using players? the DW skill line lacks any kind of knockdown/CC, the only CC i have acess to with my build is fear, and thats easily beaten by a CC break, WHILE granting the enemy immunty to all CCs for 8 seconds.

Resto heavies, now being uninterruptable, allows a player to get back large amounts of magicka with little-no risk, even at point blank range, which is utterly ridiculous. This can drag a fight into unnecissarily long proportions, and allows a player to almost never run out of mana, taking away any kind of resource management skills. It needs to be fixed, and the fact it has yet to be fixed shocks me.

I face countless LA DKs that exploit this ridiculous crap, and i cannot beat them. I have no way to stop their mana regen, meaning all i can do is run away or hope someone comes to help. This does not only apply to DKs, it applies to ALL the classes. It needs to be fixed, resource regenration should NEVER be this easy, It has a huge negative effect on the game.

RinaldoGandolphi

Yes they should do something about it, I'm not disagreeing there. I guess in the meantime using some sort of stun or knockdown is the best option.

I'm sure they will fix this though, I would hope this wasn't an intentional change.

Yusuf

What the hell did they do anyway? One day things were working fine the next update one of the best (albeit smallest) details in pvp is gone

Cody

y'all can LOL me all y'all want, but you all know I am right:)

sorry, I don't want to hijack.
