Scales should be able to reflect Meteor

LoreRiley · February 2016

if you already reflected an item you would have to recast scales to have 4 reflects left. DK should have the power to blasts meteors away as its the hardest hitting Ranged AOE with snare. I mean you can llay baseball with DK with wrecking blow when we leap so why cant I reglect enemy blue balls back to em? Please revert that change as its a nerf to DKs

Edit:Including Defensive posture

Im not. Zergs can now spam Blue balls without worrying about it backfiring

@LoreRiley Yea as soon as the notes dropped about meteor mostly every one like 99% was already yelling at ZOS to fix this horrible idea broken maechnaic, exploit what ever you wanna call it before it goes live cause hey ZOS guess what ......

NON-REFLECTABLE METEOR IS A HORRIBLE IDEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. yes to defensive too SnS needs alot of love right now barely any one uses it as is.

You lost me right there.

Scales should reflect stuff that could normally be blocked only,its not an ultimate ffs.

Wollust · February 2016

I don't get why the change. Being able to reflect meteor with scales and defensive posture seemed fair. It's after all the most likely the strongest ultimate for PvP. At least one downside should be there. But well, we will have to adjust and prepare our for the meteor rain.

I know I'll target DK from now on just because I can.

DannyLV702 · February 2016

NBs shouldn't be able to cloak out of it either.

Ult's should not be reflectable !!!!

TheShadowScout · February 2016

Nah. DKs get to reflect a lot already, no reason to make them compeltely invulvnerable to anyone with a ranged character.

Besides, meteor isn't a directed attack as in that you throw a small fireball that could bounce back, its a until attack calling down a big ball of flame (or ice, as the case may be) from above. Not really something that can be "reflected" back at the sky...

Tryxus · February 2016

Cast Holy then if you wanna fight Meteor

Yeah it makes sense that it can't be reflected maybe shielded against with a magic bubble shield maybe, like sorcs shields and also pvp shields that look like forcefeilds.
Those I can understand.

So overload should be reflectable? #yearofthesorcs

Make meteor reflect able but instead of it costing magicka to reflect a meteor it cost the same ultimate you as the enemy used to cast it and only 1... if you dont have the ultimate built up then you eat it.

Something has to keep zergs from stacking bats, steel tornado, and snipe meteoring the seige lines. It needs a counter cause it doesnt have one... block? stand and jump up and down why bother you will get cc'd so they make sure you eat it, and on top of more burst.

Thevampirenight · February 2016

Maybe since it is, after all a magical comet from the sky. It could do burst damage not only to the enemy but lesser damage not fatal damage. Maybe like 4000 damage to you, if you are near it. That way it can't be abused and also makes sense in a way.
Friendly fire could happen if you use it

I used Def Posture on my S&B NB to reflect it and now gonna have to eat it...since we all know how broken cloak is, and in mid fight, it's almost impossible to cloak it...

Meteor is a magic based projectile attack and as per the mechanics of various skills i.e Def posture, dragon scales etc, it was completely in line that it was being reflected.

As far as this being an ultimate is considered, LA of Overload is also reflect-able. Perhaps that should also gets fixed. why poor sorcs should eat their own overload?

So it's not a nerf for DK only but for any player/class who uses a S&B...and this change should be REFLECTED back to ZOS>

fastolfv_ESO · February 2016

uuuuhhh you know you can block meteor and basically take no damage right? its so easy to counter, im very concerned about anyone who cannot hold block to something that puts a ring around you 5 seconds b4 it goes off

Something????

Alucardo · February 2016

The only time I ever saw someone complain about meteor being reflected was right before PTS. Why they made this change I have no idea. Not only did my S+B Stam sorc get no love in this update, but he just got gimped even further.
Yes, yes, I can hold block, etc, etc, but that's not the point. It used to be reflectable and there's no reason they should have taken that away.
Fortunately it's still only on PTS and they have time to rectify this mistake. Keep Skoria unreflectable considering that's a special procced meteor from gear, but meteor and its morphs should go back to how it used to be.

Disagree, you can't just reflect a medium cost ultimate with a cheap skill that requires no skill to use. At least with defensive stance you could work around it, wait until you're cc immune then cast cc that goes trough block cast any skill that can be reflected before your meteor hits. With scales, well just cast and that's it. Im really happy neither of them can reflect meteor.

RoyJade · February 2016

Meteor isn't a projectile, it's a homing aoe. And you shouldn't be able to reflect an aoe.
See crystal blast, as far as I remember you can't reflect this skill because it's an aoe. The only "projectile" related part of meteor is the targeting part.

Reflect to where to the orbit to the Oort cloud ? LOL.

Caster doesnt cast that ability or toss onto you he/she summoning/calling from the space.

So reflecting back to caster kind a unlogical

Like Saruman calling thunder storm from the tower

Its not a magic or projectile its kinda natural disaster triggered by the caster.

DRXHarbinger · February 2016

Actually a good move ZOS.

Artjuh90 · February 2016

can someone enlighten me. can you use abosorb magic on a meteor?

Probably, i was using absorb magic in pve and it was working on elemental damage from mobs and meteor is elemental damage
