Ice Comet

TheLordSoth

Im curious....is this ability not OP enough? It has to be yet another stun lock (throws u in the air for some reason) and costing stam for a break free? Just my opinion.

I like the tractor beam and the 2% chance to proc 35k fall damage personally.

Nope wasn't OP enough so ZOS had to make it unreflectable too.

Comet is not OP in any way, shape or form.

I am a magicka sorc and I have no trouble blocking with no wards up and causally walking out of the AOE. I would understand if there was no warning, but you can almost take a drink of your coffee and still have time to block.

No stamina? This is coming for a magicka build, you need to manage your resources better.

As for DKs? they can just block like everyone else always had to. I have about 12k stamina and that is enough to block and then roll out of the AOE.

It took no skill to reflect, yet gave a massive reward. If you had to hit reflect on impact, or aim the reflect, maybe. But the damn thing is a 1 button auto aimed free ultimate.

Most people seem to have builds that lack the required resources to be viable, then come on here and cry OP!

This. If you think Ice Comet is OP, you will want to stay away from enemy sorcerers with Overload as Ultimate.

Stop, block and roll.

Seems kinda long just to say "L2P".

Let's see now holding block up ? Oh what is every one supposed to do hold block up 24/7 ? There's is splash damage to worry about too and with how hectic PvP is pretty easy to not see your friend next to you has a meteor on them. Also their are alot of skills that drop block such as fear or fossilized.

No skill to reflect let's see the skill only lasted 4 seconds which isn't alot of time to work with along with it's nerf of only able to reflect 4 projectiles. So short term it did take skill to activate dragon scales at the right time to reflect the old meteor cause even being a second off meant a hit and again every one could reflect meteor with SnS just SnS is terrible and under powered.

Meteor was already OP but PvP players wanted a "I win" button again so yea.

. So short term it did take skill to activate dragon scales at the right time to reflect the old meteor

If you think it takes skill to put up a 4 second reflect that could theoretically refelct 4 meteors, when even one meteor gives you a big spinning circle under your feet with enough time to cast the refect multiple times.... I don't know what else to tell you, maybe this game isn't for you.

Well, in PVP its usually not one to one with all the fights going on around you. Otherwise yeah there is time to block, roll whatever. But most people have a health pool of about 24-30k. A 8-15k single hit is significant especially accompanied by the god beam which then hits u for the rest of your health pool.

I don't gaf how well you L2P....the facts are as they are. Funny thing about every *** that says that, they never offer to show how well they play of overcome the situation. True story.

Just Cloak or Streak it, too bad if you're a DK or Templars though.

Hold block up 24/7? What the hell is wrong with you?

You hold up block for a couple of seconds when you see the HUGE ice comet AOE circle thing on you. That's it.

Stop crying already, it's embarrassing.

or you can just block it, you have ample warning+ if your spell risist isnt in the toilet its not that bad.

the only time it really hurts is when you were cc'd first or caught with no stamina, otherwise you should hear and see that its coming and block

lets get something strait 16k meteor tool tip is 8k after pvp debuff + i got 25k spell resist + block take hardly any non crit damage, put purifying ritual under me and staning in the dot just tickles. i understand breton templar has higher resist than most and but...
i cant kill a competent player with a meteor unless i can catch them cc'ed, its just to easy to mitigate.

I kill competent players every day with meteor, you just have to CC them before they can block or through their block(DK and nb), time meteor + other burst (det+curse+executioner+frag in my case) and its GG. I'm also a huge fan of dropping meteor on templars doing their healing ult, time it to land right before they finish praying then CC them with frag/streak, GG.

If you're not having success with meteor in this patch you're not using your CC right or not combining it with proper burst. Only Nightblades have a proper counter, but if you're running magelight that doesn't work either.

Edit: I routinely see 12-15k hits from my ice comet, that's on a build with only 40k mag and 2800 spell dam, if I were running something more bursty I'd likely hit MUCH harder

qrichou

I came across. a nb who claimed that he cloaked before my icecomet hit him , he ws standing still yet it missed him twice ? really ? a cloak before impact makes it mis ? nice job eso peeps wtf is wrong with you.

Grampa_Smurf

This is my tool tip in cyrodiil but it is only lvl 1 ice comet since I don't use it much. There are better ultis to use.

Bit of an overreaction mate. You only need to block for the impact. If you thought you needed to hold block 24/7 then no wonder you find pvp so difficult. Actually if you hold block for the meteor impact then any friendly within range gets the benefit of your block; they take reduced damage from the impact, don't get knocked up and then only have to deal with the ground effect. Same with inevitable det; you block it for your allies as much as for yourself. Getting your opponent to drop block for a meteor impact is actually pretty skillful. I would say it was more skillful than timing your wings for a meteor impact. You contradict yourself a lot. Your posts don't do you any favours.
