Snares, Stuns, and Knockbacks, It's a bit much

Mechanics that I understand were meant to add difficulty to a fight, are just plain infuriatingly annoying as of late. What am I supposed to do, permanently slot Immovable and spam it so I get Immunity to it all?

    Cause in the middle of a chaotic fight I'm supposed to still know when exactly a ranged knockback is coming straight at me from my blind spot?

    I agree. Even since they toned down friendly visual effects there's still so much visual noise going on in fights that makes it very difficult to know what/who is attacking you and if that skill needs to be dodged or not.

    I had to switch from tri pots to immovable in PvP and big chaotic fights are a whole lot more survivable.

    come to PC. there's addon to tell you when exactly to dodge so most mechanics are converted into simple QTE.

    What makes you think you should know it’s coming?

    You let someone get on your blind spot and got stunned for it, it’s called situational awareness

    Only problem imo is too large amount of different snares from different skills. There should be Major/minor category for them.

    My OP came on the heels of just an absolute miserable time in vetCells II. The Daedroths have an AoE stumble and a ranged Knockback, and when they can't be taken down quick enough since there's not enough dps for their 500k health pools, and there's 4, 5, 6 of them at once you're practically thrown around like a ragdoll. Mechanics like that are just infuriating when you're trying to dps the Boss, dps the Daedroth, avoiding that blue flame AoE AND getting knocked back over and over and over.

    Complaining about "CC" in ESO, really?

    smh


    CC in this game is a joke compared to most other (MMO)RPGs out there where you can't just immediately RMB+LMB to CC break every. single. time.

    It's more of a "drain stamina" thing really.
