Rage all you want and defend all you want but WB its breaking any logic in this game

TES has channeling skills and instant cast skills.

All channeled skills are the ones that do the biggest damage(/heals)( and also some buffs/debuffs/stuns/knock backs) because they imply a risk. eg: snipe/dark flare/crystal shards/RD/healing ritual (does more healing than BOL) .I say risk because you are vulnerable (and I really mean close to death vulnerable as anything can kill u in pvp in less than 2 sec these days). Every skill enumerated above do more than 8k (non critical ) damage.

And there is Wreaking BLOW (WB) a channeled skill with at least 8k damage which has no risk in using it. And 90% of the players are using it because high dps with no risk. Look around you to all the players you've seen in PVP and how many "inexplicably" switched to 2h and WB ( and med armor)..all those impulse spammers/batswarmers and so on.. who hasn't switched yet will do so soon.. because trying to avoid an uninterruptable spammable skill in this stamina crisis its only available to one class (sorcs and... nbs?? maybe)

Why was such a skill pushed live? why this high dps/knock back skill cannot be interrupted while others can ?
Why can't I have my dark flare uninterruptable?

Buffing this way a skill does not bring diversity to builds it creates a FOTM

Spare me the L2p and roll dodge comments (not every one can roll dodge as many time as you can spam WB- same applies to block) and even with roll dodging from a higher ground and landing you still take a nice 12k damage WB


@ZOS_GinaBruno can you guys take a look at this skill and at least tune the damage a little. The fact that 90% of PVPers and PVErs are using it should make you wonder why

Ya lol i got killed by a v1 one off my horse and all that was on the death recap was 5 WB's lol I just lauphed. Skills like this make the game a one button spamfest that makes everyone think they are good players

Yes some will consistently claim that they are "skilled" while using exploits. GOML? LEARN 2 PLAY? I guess that makes the meta everyone running with WB? Why have any other skills in the game? LOL!

This is a byproduct of the overdone damage reduction

go through him as he's channeling, it will cancel his wb, you're trying to get away from him, on the contrary, you should stay on him and follow his every move to cancel his wb spamming.

Similar tactic to countering Templar jabs spam. Run through, CC burst. Or Run through, block then attack.

I dare you to skilled players using more then two attacks per bar and if you're on the ground I would just hit my burst till I can execute no having a War Horse and ZoS forever on your back when you get hit off your horse is a bad combo but you can fix one of those.

I usually block, but you know... blocking WB is kinda mainstream so why bother? (sarcasm) But really, just block? The tell sign for that ability is very, very clear.

this is the majority of my cause of deaths in pvp currently. it's one of the only non-class skills that can consistantly hit for 7-8k a swing even with this damage reduction.

Even 14k with the damage reduction, and you can charge heavies underneath the channel.
