A new CC spell or Class specific?

chaz

Good day everyone,

Is there a new crowd control maneuver out or upgraded or maybe something that's Race/class specific that I'm missing.

What I'm seeing is something different now then the usual CC spells that target single or groups. Now I've seen these white cloud like circles, claws, ice shards, purple shards , stone figures but all of those we're able to break free.

But this past week I've been hit and multiple times now as if it's a new fad or something, or maybe all this time I was just lucky and never seen it but this "new" crowd control seems to be a single target, and it smacks you down flat on the ground and apparently you Can NOT break free of it. I have been full magicka and full stamina and not matter how much I try to break free or dodge roll out of it I'm stuck flat on the ground for maybe more than 5 full seconds. That is if I'm lucky, there have been times I get hit by it and get ganked by 3 or more people bushwacking me with dps like I'm a free target.

I've only seen this type of CC in a PvE dungeon spread out by the boss only (First Big boss darkshade caverns - giant Kwama Warrior boss), but there's more animation to it that makes me look like I got knocked out and disorientated.

Just a guess from what you said it sounds like you got hit by incapacitating strike a nightblade ulitamite

@cjhhickman39 , yeah that would be a good guess. Unless ZoS buffed it. I've been hit with incapacitating before, but it usually (if I remember correctly) , just takes me down to my knee's and head always facing down. I think I've either broke free or dodge rolled out of it's affect. This one I'm describing is very new to me. You guess may be accurate and like I said I never seen this before and only died twice by ganker groups using it but never bothers to take a screenshot of the death recap.

And LOL now that I'm aware of it, I really don't want to purposely go out there inviting death just to take one.

Nah that's not Incap.

Sounds like the stealth stun: a fully charged heavy attack that hit your character's back. Since most likely the ganker was a Stamblade, their stun lasts twice as long as on other classes, through the Master Assassin passive.

Clench?

Just the way I use it is with a ambush lead in if I get the stun your hit by Incapacitating strike plus 40% from empowerment from ambush

On phone only 20% my bad

I suggest installing CLS or another damage addon. Postmortem reading the log can be educational.

But yes, it does sound like Incap.
