Damage at the same time...

BigTone

So her is a screen shot with CLS of me being hit all at the same time. Now I do recognize that there are some really good players in this game, but this seems ridiculous to me. Is this something that has to do with lag, macros, or perfectly normal?

Perfectly normal. 2 procs, main hand and off hand damage from dual wield, which was animation cancelled by surprise attack. The main question is, are you a vampire, or just unlucky on the camo hunter proc (4% chance)?

This.

Ahh ok, didnt realize that heavy attack damage from dual wield came in two different hits. If you look at the CLS, there is also another hit that didn't show up on the damage recap. Thanks for the info. And yes, I am a vamp

It looks like a sneak heavy attack with dual wield, camo hunter buffed, with a surprise attack right after it.

BigTone

Thanks for the info all, I've never played a different class so I don't know how a lot of the mechanics work. Just seemed like 6 things hitting me at the same time was a little crazy.

Maybe "normal" per other folks but I gotta laugh at that.

PvP? No.

Skilled? No.

Good for growing a fun PvP environment? No.

It is perfectly normal and legit according to game mechanics.
But it is absolutely not good for a game that has PvP in it. This kind of things happens everytime eveyday and that's why this game sucks so bad.

well as 6 hits sounds to be much but s actually explanable, the allready mentioned 2x heavy attacks beeng the dual wield gimmick, the frst two hits not beeing affected by your shields is actually camouflaged hunter (the guaranteed hit when attacking out of stealth+the chance proc when attacking a undead/deadric/WW) thats 4 hits adding a waepon proc (befouled weapon) and finally the surprise attack finishing blow.
so on the side of the attacker its actually two keyklicks - starting the heavy attack out of stealth immediatly followd by a surprise attack (wich ignores thx to the animaton circle any possible CD appliied by the heavy attack)

Sneak attacks are meant to one-shot you, that's their purpose, ZOS added a counter to stop you from being sneak attacked, so I don't see why people keep complaining about being one-shot by sneak attacks.

I'm not complaining about being one shot, I'm complaining about being hit with six different things at the same time. Big difference.

It's the same thing, being one-shot means being killed from stealth in one go. Doesn't matter if it's one ability or three, it happens in one second, therefor it is a one-shot.

All the NB did, was sneak attack with a heavy attack, and cancel animation that heavy attack with a Surprise Attack, I don't see what the problem with this is, anyone can cancel animation after a heavy attack.
