Buy hey people will complain about incap.
You can cc break it. Well, most people can. If seem can't react and cc break quickly, or fail to manage stamina in order to cc break, it's on them.
If it's so IP, why do the 2 classes with stamina scaling ults still use those two ults?

See, this is a smart comment, most things ingame has some kinda counter.
Yea the bad one still use Flawless on Xbox 1 DBOS is so much better the 8% is useless.The knocked Down plus the Dot basically make the Fight GG over if your 65% or less.jyates214b14_ESO wrote: »There is a problem breaking free of dbos on X1 too, it's rather annoying.
Luckily most magicka builds dropped it and most stamina builds use flawless.
Actually I don't think they every fixed leki so your vigor will also heal you for 25% less @vamp_emily

It got 25% dmg buff via cp.
It gets 3% wpn dmg
It always cc's.
Still does 20% dmg to vamps/ww.
Weaker huh?

As for 1.
I dont know what you are talking about. DBOS had the same buff via CP pre and post patch. Explain?
2. Uhm Ok.. 3% of 6k is like 180 damage...... Most builds run like 4-5k.. so sure.
3. Yeah.
4. Well it used to do 60% bonus to undead and deadra.. Now its just 20%. Hence the influx of vamps in cyro.
And yep. Weaker. Just cos mag lost DBOS dosent make DBOS OP lol.

Your saying it got weaker...?
It did not get weaker.
You lose 15% dmg to vamps not including the wpn dmg buff.
You gain 100% cc on anyone else, 25% bonus dmg to everyone else.

Im confused. You keep saying 25% bonus damage.... ? Where does this 25% come from? It used to be buffed by magical CP now its buffed by physical CP. That's it.... As for thamaturge, it always buffed DB's dot component. So where is this other magical 25% coming from? Or am I sorely mistaken?
Didnt DBOS do like 60% bonus to undead and deadra? Now it lost that 60% which is replaced by a flat 20-25% bonus to undead/deadra. (cant recall exact number). So yes. It lost 40% damage upfront to undead and deadra. As for the bonus weapon damage, its just a slight re-arrangment. Flawless used to give 8%, now it still gives 8% and DBOS gives 3%. Hardly OP.
I still strongly believe DBOS is slightly weaker than before save the aoe knockdown. It got nerfed in terms of damage to undead and deadra but got buffed in utility and general damage.
Or am I missing something?

Because this thread was made with the current patch in mind, i'm refer to dawnbreaker being used my stamina builds as it's the only stamina ult for most classes and the best for all.
In a stamina perspective it gained 25% dmg via cp, only lost 15% dmg to undead/ww via 25%cp boost and 20% dmg in the fighter guild passives.
It's only being considered op now because it now gives passive weapon dmg and now cc's. It's the cc really.
The cc is what makes it very strong, a gap closer into dbos, or even empowering it makes it so you can get another hit in before they finish cc breaking, the burst dmg is insane.

Plus stamina classes just hit harder. Now stamina classes have ultimates that scale there burst is borderline ridiculous. It's impossible to get up after the cc also. Even if you have full stamina you are taking two dot ticks before you get up
Here is roughly how it is:
Fighters guild - dawn breaker
cost: approx. 100 ult
dmg: approx 6-12k
Mages guild - meteor
cost: approx 200 ult
dmg: approx 10-16k
My proposal is bring these into alignment, how is it fair that dawn breaker gets spammed due to low cost, I don't care if you nerf the damage on meteor as long as I can spam it I'll be fine. These should have never been different cost/damage values they should have been equivalent of each other for magic & stam.

The two ultimate's aren't comparable.
Meteor does more damage, it's good enough damage to use even on stamina and can be used at range. You can cast meteor on a target and start DPS'ing to prep your burst, your target will likely start holding block during this draining his stamina. Not to mention that he's snared and has to cleanse or shuffle.
I could get behind being able to dodge DBOS, but even as it sits it seems fine.

I know very well how the 2 ultimates work thank you very much, I was suggestion both ultimates have their mechanics changed so that they work differently

You literally said two different things, in two posts. Which do you want, to be able to spam nerfed damage meteor similar to how dawnbreaker works. Or do you want them to be different as they currently are...........................I mean every class has a spammable magicka ultimate, up until recently there hasn't really been any other options for physical.

Never said it was. Ok so I may have been too confident to rely on rudimentary reading comprehension skills to carry this question to the promised land. So let's try this again and as simple as possible:
WHAT IS THE COUNTER TO DAWNBREAKER OF SMITING?
I believe this ability is on the fast track to being stamina builds "meteor", but meteor is easy to block, I rarely die to it unless I have no stamina. I'll try just blocking it, but I feel like I probably did that already because it's sort of an ingrained reflex to block cast while im in PVP.
It's not a Nightblade specific ulti, so it can't be OP.

It's only OP if a Nightblade can do it. For example: DKs have been Dragon leaping into keeps for as long as I can remember, but once Nightblades were able to do the same it was fixed immediately whereas the DK's leap wasn't touched.

I goes even further than that Dks have been wreking blow leaping people to death and no on bats an eye.
NBs get an ultimate that scales with our CP and everyone loses their minds.
