Radiant Destruction

Junipus

After bringing my templar out of retirement since they buggered stamina bow NBs, this is even more OP and way more hilarious.

Running around Cyrodiil tonight with a group of 12 including 8 templars, simultaneous RD insta killed everything including the emperor.

I agree it's completely OP and needs a change so it's interruptable through cloak or leaving its range as well as purgeable and through cleanse and by LOS. Until then I'm going to enjoy the templar massacre.

it really needs to be toned down, it seems to go through everything, and you can't burst heal through it either

Yeah, this skill is seriously broken.

Yeah, 3 ticks from an execute really hurts.

The funniest part of your post is you posted an even worse skill in terms of being OP/buggy and you don't realize it.

As soon as that skill starts taking 75% of my health, I will speak out against it.

The way you say that makes it seem like you went from 100 > 25 which is not the case ever. You took that much damage because you were in execute range, and the ability is an execute. That's also damage over 3 seconds, so you only took 8k ticks which is relatively weak compared to what it and other execute abilities can do. Every execute can do that much damage. Stop being mad because Templars have a cool spell for once.

IMO RD is fine.

Yeah, it'll wreck you if you are low health. Keep some shields on or have good heals, and you will be just dandy.

LoS should affect it though

Draxys

just make it purgeable

I love the irony of all the DK's here crying for a nerf....

You guys have had it way too good for way too long and now that you seem to be dying more regularly than before, you all cry for nerfs.

"Hey ZOS, something killed me, please nerf whatever it was"
- Every DK ever.

"Hey ZOS dont nerf my OP ability because as long as its benefitting me, its just fine"
- Every FOTM player ever.

Please Rylana,

I'm a Sorcerer, I don't know if there's much else of my skills left to nerf...

Maybe I SHOULD re-roll Templar...

LOL that sorcs... you find their mimi everywhere!

This picture says nothing at all. U got hit by a channeling executioner.
U can make it get best numbers when u shield urself on low health.
2hits by another executioner can achieve bigger numbers in less time too.

Why Radiant Destruction is OP in PvP:
-ranged 35 meters
-cannot be dodged
-stacked with magicka bonus and nirnhorned weapon it hit as a truck
-once starting the execution phase under 50% even if you heal to 60% the next tick still do damage as in an execution phase.

Perichor

RD already confirmed by DEVS

IT IS BUGGED and hitting harder than it should executing at a higher Percentage

Hi folks,

As promised, we have an update on Radiant Destruction. We've confirmed that there is not a damage-stacking bug with the ability, but there is a bug that is allowing Radiant Destruction to deal full execute damage on a target much earlier than is intended. We're testing a fix now, and hope to have it in the next incremental patch.

Wrong, channelled and damage over time skills in this game evaluate their damage on a per-tick basis, Radiant Destruction obeys this rule. If a player is healed above 50%, the next tick will deal normal damage.

and making fear so your unable to block for 5 seconds just doesn't make sense

Let the big boys talk about these things

Fear did not allow you to block in 1.5, or at any time before that. During early PTS testing of 1.6 players were unintentionally able to block while feared. This was removed in a later patch, which was noted in the patch notes. The curators of the patch notes were unfamiliar with this fact, and it was included in the live notes.

You have never been able to block during fear.

I included the latter sentence for irony.

What level are you? What level was the player that hit you with it? If you are level 45, running around in VET PvP and got hit by a v14...

Lets just cut through the BS shall we?

There is a reason every single templar is using this skill. It has gone past any other flavor of the month, any other i win button, every other broken thing in the short history of a game full of broken things (to name a few, wall of elements, caltrops, stacking bats, dark flare, lethal arrow)

So why is the cycle perpetuating? Why are we still defending obviously broken things that time tested always prove broken and we all look around dumfounded like we didnt know exactly what was going on.

Quit playing dumb, guys, you know its BS, so stop it.

EskimoBrother

My biggest problem with the ability is the LOS issue. Is that intended?

I have concerns with this issue as well and have to agree with @EskimoBrother on this one.

I play an Imperial Templar as my main and do not use the updated 'Radiant Destruction' as it doesn't jive well with my build, BUT... Those that I have seen spamming this ability are able to target an enemy and activate the ability, and even when that enemy breaks LOS (line of sight) the ability remains locked on the enemy player and continues to damage for the duration.

Regardless as to whether or not this IS or WAS intentional, this issue should be investigated thoroughly, and addressed ASAP.

Junipus

RD LOS has been in since early testing on PTS and reported there too. ZOS likely won't do anything about it for a while.

Lettigall

Problem with this skill isn't it's damage but means of countering aaand it's bugged right now. You cannot escape from it with dodging out, you cannot escape it by leaving it's range. To counter it as melee you need to get at least 22m distance to charge, while you get in range you most likely gonna take second beam in your face. And while you doing this you need to try heal yourself.

Sorry fellow templars but atm this skill is OP due to it's damage bug and countering difficulty. Stop defending it simply because you like "I win button"

Derp. The LOS issue is a non-issue. During the first PTS patch it was able to be casted through walls on tab-targeted players. This was an obvious bug that was fixed. This is not an FPS, which is why archers have heat seeking arrows and players have heat seeking spells.

It has not gone past the point of abusing a skill that negated 2/3 the damage a game can throw at you, so you can shut up on that point.

If the execute percentage isn't working as intended that is a bug, not an overpowered skill. The funny thing is you will all still get wrecked by it because you haven't L2P'd in the new patch yet. I didn't die to that skill once in an entire night of pvp.

Also, if we're going to get mad at everyone spamming high damage abilities I'm looking at you all you new 2H users ABUSING wrecking blow.

Even if it is bugged, cant a player simply roll out of the range and cancel the ability just like you can roll out of Soul Assault range and cancel the ability?

Seriously, its hilarious I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

Why are people complaining about LoS of all things? All channelled spells continue after the target breaks line of sight, why would Radiant Destruction be any different? The problem with Radiant Destruction is two-fold:

1. The damage starts stacking from 50% instead of 25 or 30% like all other executions.
2. The spell can not be removed by purge or purify.

The LoS issue everybody is complaining about is working properly.

Dude Trip, have you not been playing the game at all for the last year? You always continued to block while feared if you were blocking beforehand, until they changed it in 1.6. Your statement is just so comically wrong I can only assume you are trying to spread misinformation to score points against Perinub.

That is not the case at all. Fear forced you to stop blocking in 1.5, which is why all magicka Nightblades ran it.
