Biting Jabs

Hashtag_ · September 2016

When will this skill be fixed and be un-dodgeable like puncturing sweeps is? To me it's a cone based AOE that shouldn't be able to be dodged and the other morph is exactly that way.

why is that necessary?

Your jab is not dodge able because it deals much more damage than the other one and you can spam it.

You can spam sweeps aswell and in raids my sweeps hits harder than a stamplars biting jabs. Maybe it's different in PvP, but what was your point again?

Both are dodgeable, but the chance is calculated per each hit. So if an enemy has major evasion each of the 4 hits has 20% chance of being evaded. However all may be evaded if the enemy just rolls out of range, 1st from the roll dodge, the other 3 because they hit the air. I've fought templars, both stamina and magicka and seemed to work exactly the same. I generally stay ranged because they both hit very hard on my mostly medium armor.

You can dodge it due it beeing a stamina based AoE, it's how all stamina aoe works.

Why not just bash them and stop it?

@Wrobel and some others in a meeting stated they wanted jabs and sweeps to be consistent like everything else skill wise in ESO. But because jabs is stamina based they said the fix for dodging it by rolling is not easy. So it would take some time. This was roughly 2 months ago before update 12 was talked about.

Sweeps is a magicka based AOE that cant be roll dodged.

Jabs is a stamina based AOE which can be roll dodged.

I was thinking at the skills more of a channel ability than AoE. I agree though that they should make them more consistent.
