All magicka DKs are currently EXPLOITING

Passifest

Hello everyone I bring dire news. The power lash morph of flame lash is bugged and is providing double the healing. This was not in any patch notes and thus is a bug. Any dragonknights using this ability are considered to be exploiting and as such action should be taken against them. They can obviously see that the heal is broken and thus should stop using it immediately. Anyone who continues to use powerlash is breaking the code of conduct. I propose a wide ban of anyone using power lash in the last day. Permanent of course.

Oh dear, have you died at the hands of a DK again ?

Again, this is basicly why I'm playing sparsely since that round of bans.

Never know what'll be considered a banned.

Tasear

This would actually be funny! Imagine the irony everyone was saying Magicka dk was dying

Over exaggerated hyperbole.

As to "if it's not in the patch notes it's a bug"...gtfo.

I actually main mdk and am doing my duty by not playing the game till they fix this exploit. I of course expect no compensation by ZOS due to the time where I am morally obligated to not play.

Someone's ass is sore. I take it you got banned for exploiting 9mil XP per mob killed in IC for hours? Must have sucked to lose a 3,000CP account.

This was intended, and the change was on the PTS for weeks. Personally I suspect it might be tied to this:

Using a fully-charged Heavy Attack against an Off Balance enemy will now restore double the amount of resources.

I wouldn't be surprised if powerlash doesn't use heavy attack code in resource return, it functions in many ways as one.

Looks like someone exploited the exp in IC. Enjoy the ban.

Not sure if OP is joking or being sarcastic because mad about bans.

I love however how people are getting all butt hurt that ZOS made a comment about actually enforcing their CoC/ToS now, you know after years of complaints they do nothing. vOv

Warm up the ban hammer! Punish those smelly DKs!

I agree, as Gina said, The CoC that you agreed to states that you will not exploit any bug, which this totally is, a bug, so any Dragonknights that take advantage of the double healing should be dealt with accordingly.

Justice must be served.

This guy just pretty much admitted to exploiting. Btw the bug is that power lash lasts 4 seconds instead of 2.

the responses in this thread make my wee wee hurt

Typical exploiter defending themselves. If you notice something is wrong then STOP. Stop pretending you don't see the bug it is a known bug and was also on the pts. People like you make me sick.

like i said... i didnt notice it, and i played for about 2 hours last night and this is the FIRST ive seen/heard of it

It has been tested and proved multiple times, enjoy your ban filthy exploiter.

You're an idiot for exploiting. Enjoy the ban.

Powerlash being undodgeable was a “bug” mDKs took advantage of for years. Maybe ZOS should investigate those players as well

Sharee

It is not an exploit if you are using a legit ability in the only way it can be used.

W0lf_z13

where's the vid's of the bug, i'd love to see them... if it is in fact a bug and i can see it actually happening then yeah, i'll def swap out the skill till its fixed... but all you have done is stated words, no photos, no vids for evidence

Don't even try to make excuses. That is like saying people who killed mobs in IC sewers after the patch shouldn't be banned.

Omg you're right ban all the players who have ever gotten a kill with power lash.

Unfortunately, ZOS tends to do things in the game that never make it to the patch notes. If this is your only method of determining what is an exploit, then you really should rethink it. I'm not saying that it isn't necessarily working as intended, but you can't ban someone for how a skill behaves if ZOS broke it in the first place. If we followed this logic, then everyone currently using mist form should be banned. It's too wacked out. Or maybe anyone using Cloak should be banned?

I'm already loving this thread lmao.

Wrong analogy. People in IC could have killed different mobs and avoid the exploit. On the other hand, there is no "different way" of using the perfectly legit power lash than the one the game gives you.

Thanks btw for confirming you are indeed salty for getting banned over the IC exploit.

I agree, Zos should ban every player that has used a skill that wasn't working as intended.
