Is there anything wrong with grasshoppers? we have feelings also you know

More on topic by dodge rolling they are depleting their resources drop some crowd control on them. If you do that you can punish them for having no resources to break free or counter important combos.

I like when they roll. I just cast double take over and over and follow them. I never run out of magicka and they never run out of stamina. Then we stop, realize the war is pointless and just dance. True story.

There were very few complaints about this before stamina builds became viable.

OtarTheMad

I... If you... just... why? Why start this thread? Let them dodge roll... I usually stand there and let the rest of the players chase the enemy around... when the enemy is obviously out of stamina I attack. Same goes for those who run around the towers... I can't stop laughing watching everyone chase this one dude.

Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
What?
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Come on
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Yea
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'

You wanna mess with Limp Bizkit?

Don't stand in the stupid!

Shors bones this thread is still open ? WOOT KEEP ROLLIN :-D

OrphanHelgen

The meta is don't chase. And pls don't nerf roll dodge just because you have to chase another player who invested in 7 medium and champion points into roll dodge. I need to roll dodge in DSA! Then nerf all the aoe in pve as well.

With all the damage shield spam, I honestly feel stamina builds deserve something like this to even the score.

however, maybe a SMALL reduction is in order.

SMALL.

Until CC spam and damage shield spam/stacking lets down, let us stamina builders have our own ace in the hole; as i'll call it.

It's meant to be a quick escape you use at the correct time to avoid a big hit, but instead its part of everyone's normal rotation. Ability, dodge roll, ability dodge roll etc. It's lame and makes the combat very frustrating, cheesy and unskillful.

Adapt, a moving target is harder to hit.

So dodge rollers like myself, should just stand still and let you kill us?, really?

And its not that difficult to kill dodge rollers, try getting some skill instead of whining about it.

Lol not that hard to kill dodge rollers? You can dodge roll INFINITELY without any time in between rolls. You clearly don't understand the concept or you would know that it is an UNSKILLFUL mechanic. It's more skillful to have to time your rolls than to just spam them.

[Moderator Note: Edited quote to match moderated version]

and LA players can stack damage shields "infinitely"

may as well look at both sides of the spectrum.

magicka players have a crap ton of damage shields, stamina players have a crap ton of rolls.

Deal with it.

Dodge Roll needs a x3 cost for 12 seconds after the most recent Dodge Roll you used. Similar to the Bolt Escape nerf a long time ago.

Why stop there?

GDB should cost 3x more for 12 seconds after the most recent GDB.
Hardened ward shoud cost 3x more for 12 seconds after the most recent ward
Blazing shield shoud cost 3x more for 12 seconds after the most recent blazing shield

Why? Because i do not like it when my opponent uses those multiple times in a row! (as good a reason as any)

My build is pure DPS. I NEED dodge rolling just to survive. If i can only dodge roll 1 time like you want me to, im screwed. I have 18K HP, I do not have a damage shield to spam or self heals to use(I am a stamina DW/bow NB I literally have no damage shields or good self heals) so dodge rolling is my "sustaining ability" If I am hit by even ONE hard hitting attack, my chances of victory literally go to almost 0%. If i do not dodge roll, I WILL DIE.(similar to how LA players will die if they don't stack/spam damage shields. I guess those should be nerfed too since you want this nerfed)


and i cannot do it for 5 minutes straight. I can do it 10 times from 100% stamina. 10 is no where near infinite. I suppose one could do it for 5 minutes straight; but they would have to be very specifically built for it, and that person would do absolutely squat for damage(like how BE spammers were after the nerf for example)

How about instead of nerfing all the survivalbility abilities, and turning PvP into nothing but who has the highest burst damage, we look at what is forcing us to spam all these dodge rolls. All these sudden spikes in damage(14K lethal arrows, 15K WBs, all that good stuff) , insane regain rates(1.5K stamina regain every 2 seconds for a 24K stamina pooler is crazy. If they get cost reductions and use a heavy attack every now and then, they will not run out of stamina; same for magicka) and the problems with the champion system. Look at the CAUSE of all the chaos, and not at how people cope with it.

I too dislike things like endless roll dodging and everything associated with it, but its necessary right now due to these insane damage numbers. Once the 20K WBs and the 30K meteors get toned down, maybe then we can talk about toning down survivablitly.


so until i stop getting hit for 14K from lethal arrow in all epic/legendary medium armor, I will stop spamming roll dodge.

Sav72

Complains? About dodge roll?

Lets talk about Reflect! lol

jelliedsoup

yeah i know shields and perma healing is perfectly acceptable but this dodge rolling is unacceptable as it provides other means to dodge damage. I thought it was accepted that only some skills made some people impossible to kill or as the catchcry appears to be "l2p". dodge tank would be the term.

Sorry sweetheart it's an all or nothing thing.

Gidorick

This request reminds me of people who play fighting games and say things like:

"Wait, wait... just... wait... just... just let me hit you... hold on. stand still. just... hey... just... just let me hit you!"

I loved this show in the 90's and wish i had in on DVD.

Anyway, a new skill line could be in ordered. Smarttalk or something. You can talk your way out of an attack, and costs magicka.

No.

Here is an idea, don't chase them. Just like you don't chase bolt escaper. I know everyone here is obsessed with hyperbole, even if they don't know what the word means, so 5 min dodge roll is obviously you being silly; regardless, people built to dodge excessively have to sacrifice a lot and do less damage.
You do realize that a roll Nerf will actually make all builds weaker not just the rolly pollies? Right?

It's pretty easy to build a character with the ability to dodge roll near infinitely and then deal a massive amount of burst. Stamina builds are quite powerful right now. I agree it needs to be looked at in some way, this is not always a "LTP" issue.

It was for the past year that Magicka builds were doing it.

Why isn't it now?

Sorcs can burst, shield, and heal very well all w/ a single resource. Stam users can dps and dodge roll, and heal okay now thanks to Rally / Vigor.

You want our rolls, give up your shields. At least you'd STILL have better heals than any Stam build while we duke it out.

Otherwise, find another tree to bark up.

rome_killsit

Just a thought guys.. this dodge roll taking a nerf is gonna hurt the (non stamina) builds.. heres how:

Vr eldens hollow pledge where a roll might be crucial at the end boss. Or other bosses in pve where a dodge roll is a must.. after the nerf. Your sorcs and non stam builds wont have the cost to roll.. which if your a sorc, im sorry but this nerf is gonna hurt us too.. not just in cyrodil .... Thanks E.S.O. for yet another ball drop on PVE

Sounds like dodge roll should get the bolt escape treatment and go up in cost the more you use it...

I do believe they are. I recall each dodge roll will increase in cost each time used with in a certain time frame from each other.

They are. They weren't when that post was made.

You just necro'd a thread from March. You should probably be less surprised if the information in it is outdated. ; )

Nerf definitely wasnt needed but its coming. Now people cant dodge away from dmg, so dmg nerfs follow soon. Just you guys know Dodge roll was nerfed with Sorc's Escape.

nativepride08

I time my rolls.... So stop complaining about how we roll and just become better at playing whatever role you're playing.
