Ok, before I start, I just want to make it REALLY clear that I am not an eso expert and struggle to remember all the skill names. Plus there's probably a really good reason for this, but...

My main character is a sorceror, dark elf. I have two main skills that I use... the shard one that knocks someone down and the destruction staff one that changes depending on your staff type. I use fire for the knock back effect.

The issue is this... when I use the shard thing to knock them down, and then use the staff thing to knock them back a few seconds later, they don't get knocked back. I know that the game limits the knock down effect, but they are two different skills, why is it not knocking back?

    Once you've knocked down your target, it receives CC immunity for 6 seconds, preventing any further knockdowns / knockbacks, regardless of which skill you use.

    because for a few seconds after you CC a mob he will be immune for CC effects..

    CC is crowd control which includes, but not limited to, Stun, knockback,hard root, snare etc.

    Crowd Control immunity. Different skills apply it, and it will not work until the cooldown period has expired. If you look in the top right corner of your skill when you try to apply a knockdown while the enemy has CC immunity, it'll tell you that the "Target is immune".

    EDIT: Argh! Ninja'd. :tongue:

    Thanks all.

    Ive never noticed that 'target is immune' thing...will have to look out for that.

    Now, im not complaining because in my opinion, the harder a game is the more of a challenge and the more fun it is... maybe I'll have to change my play style.

    There are so many small details in this game that aren't mentioned anywhere...in game that is.

    It would be nice if there was a more visual way to see if someone, or thing, was immune...an aura around them maybe.

    The game has a lot of visual and audible tells, the trick is to figure out what tell is for what effect.

    You may want to mix things up with Crystal Shards, maybe use some Liquid Lightening (Storm Calling skill line, its a pool of lightening) Cast the shards and follow up with the lightening while they are stunned.



    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
