Toggle Re-cap. Meteor. Radiant Destruction.

Sound familiar?

Depends, on my DK it's mostly ranged attacks, on my Nightblade it was always a Meatbag Catapult, Dark Flare, Reverberating Bash, or Lethal Arrow...

You got hit by meteor and RD very often because they are either A) Brand new or b) made useful and that's why you see them so often.

Or is this another nerf QQ thread?

At least the monotony of Snipe has been broken somewhat.

I'm being hit multiple times within seconds with meteor from the same player..Im watching full groups spamming meteor like there's no tomorrow.

and as far as radiant destruction goes..if that's all templars are using..and nothing else..you might want to look at it a little more closely

Put a damage shield on and quit whining.

I'd rather be killed by a good meteor than a spammed snipe any day.

Just for fun, mate. We're not all Serious Sam. I don't want a nerf I just want people to change things up a bit, I mean both are guaranteed to be in my toggle re-cap. It's getting incredibly annoying and anyone who's using these skills over and over aren't playing the game for fun, they're playing just to win and that's it.

Kill me with something else for crying out loud.

This is funny, I'm running 2 and Defensive Stance but you can't reflect 5 Meteors at the same time followed by 5 Jesus' beams and your shields aren't gonna save you either. Just wan't people to use some other Abilities is all.

If you only use shields as a defense in PvP, please just stop PvPing.... so bad.

Not when Lethal Arrow still hits for 14,000, you will never see the end of it. And that is in 1 second, not 3 like RD takes to channel.

I didn't just make up that number, it was 5 minutes ago.

Wrecking Blow and Lethal Arrow are, combined, responsible for 90% of the deathblows I've received in 1.6. And my sample size is shockingly large

I'm not sure you should be the one questioning somebody's PvP skills.

Meteor leaves a ground AoE which is why you see it multiple times in your death recap. Thankfully ZoS made it appear multiple times so that fools like you wouldn't immediately cry out for a nerf when you see a 18k meteor hit due to your own idiocy for standing in the meteors AoE for the full duration.

And if there is any broken skill to complain about it is uppercut. Putting a channel time on something that has to be cast in your face and then making it uninterruptable is a complete slap in the face to any competent player. One of the things that annoys me the most is people who channel skills in your face, and add to this the fact that it not only hits extremely hard, but the CC along with it will sometimes have you sliding on the floor if you CC break too early. It is one of the most annoying things ever to see such trash players spamming wrecking blow and having no penalty to using a channel time skill because Zenimax decided that this one skill should make anyone using it feel like a good player (so it is basically like 1.5 snipe, only more frustrating to die by because there ACTUALLY is nothing you can do about it).

God help us if they ever decide to make radiant destruction uninterruptable.

I can't speak for Lethal Arrow, but I can put out RD like numbers in a single instant strike. But that's misleading. Before I attack I cast 4 separate abilities that stack and/or sync to increase my burst damage.

Even though a single strike does massive damage, it's actually the 5th skill I've activated since I decided to attack.

So, imo, no matter how much damage I do, that's not OP.

On the other hand, RD is OP because it take virtually zero skill to achieve that level of damage.

Watching people use RD is hilarious and sad. They are like sprinklers. Rotate, Press 1 key, kill.....Rotate, Press 1 key, kill.....Rotate....

Wow someone is complaining about wrecking blow lol...mmmm block ? Mmmm roll ? Mmmm damage shield ? Or maybe just get 5+ meters away. What is sad is that snipe and wrecking blow hit for almost the same amount and snipe is ranged...so yea if your dying to people spamming wrecking blow I think you need to look in the mirror before you go around calling people trash. If you can't get out of the way of a dude holding a giant sword in his hands you probably don't do well with red circles either

So true lol....it's takes some getting use to in order to get the timing on point, also being able to strafe around a player while casting it.

There is a bug that holds you as the target for the wrecking blow, so even if you streak away and are a "safe" distance you will still get hit.

As for blocking... that's bugged too. I can block with full stamina sometimes and get the full damage and thrown back.

The skill is just buggy, and it's awful to face something that is broken when it has CC and it hits that hard.

The_Drexill

You can strafe wrecking blow so easy it isn't funny... it's not really imbalanced.

Radiant is good too, cause all the fotm-plars are spamming it, so I just hit them with crushing shock or venom arrow as soon as I see it, that stagger is usually enough to gg them.

Can't say Meteor has been an issue for me at all.

No need to strafe. Run straight through the player instead. They can rarely turn fast enough to hit you and you can make that 5m distance a little faster to help ensure you don't get hit.

Seriously now...WB has casting time...so make me understand the logic why did ZOS make it uninterruptible?
Is there any other skill in this game (except an ult ability) that has casting time and you can't interrupt it?

what's the logic?
lets make all channeling skills that can be dodged/blocked (snipe/dark flare....) uninterruptable ..

I don't know, I have a lot of fun meteoring people

Also, I am glad to see people using something that was *never* in my 1.5 recaps.

Not to mention I suspect most other players are learning how to defend against this ability to the point where it is not quite as good as people thought it was a week ago. I mean there is a pretty obvious tell that a meteor is about to land on your head...

This is funny, I'm running 2 and Defensive Stance but you can't reflect 5 Meteors at the same time followed by 5 Jesus' beams and your shields aren't gonna save you either. Just wan't people to use some other Abilities is all.

You're right...anyone that is hit 5 meteors is bound to be pretty funny

Exactly, but everyone using it will still claim L2P issue if you get hit by it. It makes no sense whatsoever.
And having an uninterruptable cast time promotes the degradation of player skill by teaching players that they can use an ability with a cast time and have no penalties whatsoever. An added reason why I KNOW this to be true is that in 1.5 I received countless tells from wrecking blow spammers whenever I would interrupt their wrecking blow calling me a cheater because they had (I assume) never been interrupted before and didn't know that the ability was not a 100% easy mode button - which it is becoming now with the non interrupt on it.

Meteor is pretty crappy imo coz I can reflect it with my defensive posture and it gives a huge indicator of when it's dropping so I can activate it. I don't have any problems with meteor. Radiant destruction needs to be able to be blocked, have a smaller range so the cyro buff doesnt effect it and for NBs to be able to cloak from it but apart from that It's fine lol
