Radiant Magelight broken?

Hammy01

I am wondering if Radiant Magelight is broken or not working correctly.... or maybe this skill is just not worth using. I say this because according to the tool tip is says - While slotted you also prevent the stun and reduce the damage from stealth attacks by 50% for you and nearby allies. I constantly get stunned from stealthed nightblades with this slotted... and the main culprit seems to be Incapacitating strikes... plus this skills seems to be hitting for full damage and not 50%. I realize that this is an Ultimate skill but when used from stealth it should still be mitigated by Radiant Magelight and should not stun you.

At any rate... something seems really fishy about the way Radiant Magelight is working.

The skill stun always. Radiant Magelight prevent only stuns from stealth/invisible(for NBs).

Every attack from stealth, no matter by which class, is supposed to stun for a while. Nightblades have a passive that doubles this time.

This standard stun is prevented. If an ability is used from stealth, that would have a stun or other form of cc associated with it anyways, radiant doesn't do anything about it.

So the OP is right then, the RML skill or at least the RML tooltext is broken...

Yeah.. this is what I am getting at... according to the tool tip you should not be stunned from any attacks from stealth but it happens all the time so either the tool tip needs to change or the skill needs to be fixed.


Ohh and I know I am reaching here but this skill would be so good if it prevent being stunned while riding a horse as well (just attacks from stealth)!!!


And a quick edit...

It is also not just the stun that seems bugged but also the 50% damage reduction. With Radiant slotted I should be taking 50% less damage from any attack used from stealth (looking at you SNIPE) but those skills still seems to hit for the full amount!

I am on Xbox so what I think is happening and what really is may be slightly off due to not having any addons to help!

You misunderstand. The tooltip isn't broken, it's just not descriptive enough to include the exceptions.

It DOES prevent stuns caused solely by attacks from stealth. In other words, an attack that would not normally stun, and is only stunning you because it was done from stealth. RM prevents this stun.

If an attack also has a built-in stun (that is, it would stun you even if the attack was NOT from stealth) you will still get stunned. RM does not prevent ability-based stuns.

Get it?

Ohhh wow, that is a good explanation and not at all what I was reading into the tool tip, I am pretty sure I am not the only one that thinks this skill is to prevent any stun from stealth (IE - Ambush, Dizzy swing, etc).

I guess I will be taking this skill off my bar now as it is really not worth the small (6sec) light to see stealth players and the extra spell power.
