Soul Magic
Shatter Soul (Soul Strike morph): Increased the explosion damage by 50%.
Soul Strike:

• This ability can no longer can be purged or interrupted, but can now be blocked.
• You will now be immune to CC while channeling this ability.
• Increased the damage from this ability by 15%.
• This ability now prevents your target from entering stealth and invisibility for 2 seconds

Just imagine...an avoidable ultimate(if you can't LOS) at around 70 cost that:

1. Double Dips from both Thaum and Elemental Expert
2. Will be increased in damage from sets like Soul Shine that will be dropping in CP 160 soon
3. Will pretty much ignore all your Spell Resist due to Spell Pen numbers
4. Will be used liberally because its so cheap to slow you pursuit so the Jesus Beam spammers can get you.
5. Can't use Cloak to get away from it because it lock you out from using it.
6. Can't Purge it.

You roll with your Eternal Hunt and will have 4 Soul Assaults on you at any given time, and perhaps a Radiant Destruction or 2 thrown in the mix for giggles. Behind every rock, every blade of grass...no longer will it just be an archer...but a Soul Assault spammer, and a Jesus Beam spammer to go along with the Soul Assault spammer....zerg surfing just got real very quickly...

Many large raid leaders right now are thinking of those who would gank their people on their siege weapons then roll away into the sunset while wasting time killing them while they run around a tree and roll....they are stroking their chin whiskers and thinking to themselves right now at this moment.........something like.......







Please note this post is for sarcasm and satire its means to make you LAUGH.....its the silly affair of things nowadays....

Ew gross. I do not like this being one of those eternal hunt stamblade roll dodgers. (I don't wear well-fitted though.)

Hey guys let's just do across-the-board damage increases for everything and make the time to kill with no skill back down to 1 second!!!

OdinForge

They're trying to help magicka build burst with bandaid changes.

But are just empowering players that don't know how to play the game.

Whatever at this point.

Manoekin

@IxSTALKERxI you know what must be done

Seriously, just what the game needed was another fire and forget, guaranteed hit ultimate. This should appease the "if I hit enough buttons I should be successful!" crowd.

s7732425ub17_ESO

Pretty sure the real reason behind the change is to make Soul Assault on par with the new Bow ultimate. Have you guys seen that thing? Ridiculously OP.

Agreed. I have always thought every class should have 1 undodgeable skill since 1.6 BUT...nothing that does the kinda damage Soul Assault does....it could have been addressed in a different way. I hearken back to the 1.x days where Flame Lash, Concealed Weapon, and Endless Fury were not dodgeable...of course folks had stamina regen while blocking back then too and it was feasible to counter those skills by blocking instead of dodging, and it wasn't even a big deal and no one complained about it because even Mag Sorcs could block sometimes back then.

regardless if your a stam build, a magic build, or even a naked orc build...literally everyone is going to have multiple Soul Assault and Jesus beams on them all the time.....its going to quite a show to see thats for sure.

zyk

Fire Wrobel. Seriously. The work he is responsible for is ruining this game.

Asmael

To be honest, it did need a buff.

But to go as far as giving the extra damage, anti-cloak, anti-purge, anti-interrupt, anti-CC is "a bit" much.

Seems like Zos forgot the meaning of "counterplay".

Agrippa_Invisus

Here's to hoping that by the time the patch comes around Soul Assault is also able to --

Make julianne fries.
Do the dishes.
Fold laundry.
One shot all NBs within a 10 meter radius of the initial target.

(though, tbh, the laundry part might need a balance correction)

zuto40

ah yes cause cloak wasnt already **** in pvp against anyone who knew what to do #RIPMAGEBLADE

Elong

Mental.

jhharvest

I think it's pretty bonkers.

thankyourat

Just block it.

ClockworkArc

Can you block Radiant Destruction?

olsborg

Haha yeah I remember testing the aoe morph in TG PTS with vicious death. Wasn't as good as meteor at the time but worth retesting now with some of the sets that are available.

Well, time to throw in the towel I guess. Maybe, just maybe I will enjoy PvE again once one-tamriel goes live.

fix PvP
- Remove all armor procs
- buff magicka
- fire Wrobel

Hasn't empowering *** been the overall goal for the past few years?

Wasn't there a set that Increases damage from all soul attacks by 100%?

That set only works fo soul trap skill not the ultimate. Also even if your opponent is a delayed damage stacking sorcerer you can pretty much block both the curse and ultimate at the same time and prevent it from critting too. But if all the damage happens at the same time right after you were hit with a hard CC ... well then your opponent isnt braindead.

Ill just toppling charge him down, empower, soulstrike then jezus beam. Should be plenty with 4,8k spell damage against most target's.

CapuchinSeven

Soooo.... just Shatter Soul and wear Viscous and face plant win?

What the hell is going on with this game?
The worst idea of balancing I've ever seen.

Then again.. pretty much every skill combo will hit ''plenty'' with a 4.8k spell damage. See this is the reason why people are so afraid of this ulti. If everyone goes around stacking everything into damage instead of leaving some for defense,hp or stamina of course youll be a ''sitting duck'' while fighting a CC based build or you wont have enough HP to deal with a burst damage.

For a Templar its easy getting this spell damage, this is buffed ofcourse.

I still have about 1800 regen, and 18k resistance. The only thing I got to keep an eye on in a fight is my stamina, which is just 12k. Magicka is 37k and health (if I remember right) about 22k.

My solo experience just keeps getting more difficult and ridiculous one patch at a time. Thank you, Wrobel! You are doing a great job! / sarcasm

I feel like wrobel heard there where some people who didn't want to conform to the Black Rose stam meta. Seriously though this is going to help players zerg everyone. It won't matter if you are magicka or stamina. All shall be zerged with impunity by the new unavoidable wrobel beam.
