Well looks like Nightblades won't be cloaking meteors anymore...gotta block etc

interesting change i saw fly under the radar. Want to stop a Nightblade from cloaking? just cast Meteor on him, even if cloaks, he still gets nailed by it....should be interesting for sure.

    Excellent, now everyone suffers under OP Meteor equally. Weird that Wrecking Blow gets a huge nerf but stuff like Radiant Destruction and Meteor are still OP as heck.

    Don't worry my stam NB's incap strike has a tool tip of 19k. That is with 7 tri glyphs, impen, and no undaunted. I could only imagine what a full damage spec could hit for.

    yeah a buddy was telling me that Incap Strike on Stam Blades now is just crazy lol!

    The amount of insta-kills should prove very interesting commentary im sure.

    Don't trust tooltips on the PTS at all, my Ice Comet tooltip says 27k and hit for about 14k unblocked on a DK.....

    Idk while fighting someone I got a 10k non crit hit.

    Edit: That number makes perfect sense. With 50% battle spirit.

    This sounds like a good change to me. Maybe I am the only one that thinks this but I say cloak should be just that, a cloak. Never should of been a purge. Never should save someone from a massive rock rocketing downward towards their head.

    Quite frankly, cloaking and suspending DOT damage doesn't even make sense to me.

    Yes I am a NB. Always have been.

    Idk. Being able to cloak a meteor wasn't really op, and not being able to cloak it doesn't really change much. There have always been plentiful ways to prevent a nb from cloaking your meteor. ZOS is just dumbing down the game and removing those opportunities for decisions and counterplay. Just catering to carebears as usual. Oh well. This change makes the game slightly less mechanically consistent, but hey...so did the reflect change. I'm pretty indifferent overall.

    How is meteor OP? Hold down block, take little damage. Walk out of the circle.

    Now something like soul assault, which can't be blocked or dodged. Thats old school, you have to LOS or interrupt the caster.

    I think it was a change that should have occurred for thieves guild when DKs couldn't use their class defining skill to reflect it. Im happy with the change.

    I would actually prefer that meteors be reflectable, cloakable, and purgeable because it does add a skill component. However, ZOS has decided that it shouldn't be avoided and they already removed purging and reflecting meteors. It was wrong that they didn't remove the NB's ability to cloak as well. In my eyes you can have all or none and ZOS has chosen none. The TG patch presented an unbalanced situation where NB's had an upper hand over every other class when it came to dealing with Meteor which was NOT balance.

    So...it doesn't make sense to cloak through a meteor. But it DOES make sense to block it?

    Whatever. It just pisses me off when I think I have escaped the ice comets wrath, only to be dragged back into its path by the games never ending lag.

    I still say it should be reflectable. Give the strong long range Ult some risk.
