What dev came up with biting jabs?

Gothlander

The [snip] never lands. The [snip] ability in game. Im going to quit because of this.

[Edit for bashing.]

kyle.wilson

It lands almost 100% of the time when I use it. But, then again I don't run a toppling charge - jab build.

Waffennacht

It's really difficult to land, they said it will be improved in the patch notes iirc.

It's like the jabs box doesn't move with your character or is too delayed

Gothlander

For pvp it sucks and its supposed to be Templars main ability.


What patch notes?

Hurbster

I like it. Good skill. Kills stuff and heals me.

Not for Stamplar

In pvp lol you don't expect players to just stand still while you jab them to death do you?

I'll have to hunt, but last I heard was the hit box being increased.

I'm right there with you OP. Against a highly mobile opponent, despite crosshairs being kept on opponent, it misses way too much.

It has improved though...

My suggestion is (because I can't) is to test on PTS or have someone check it out for you

My point is that Templar is the only class with its main ability, broken. Every other class have instant casts abilities but Templar.

It does land, only if your the enemy

psychotrip

Starting a timer now so I can see how long it takes to get this thread taken down.

Seriously dude, criticism is always good, but directly insulting devs will get you nowhere.

My jabs land fine . Then again I'm always positioning around the back of enemies . This is why I sometimes hop around in combat .

LOL sorcs don't even have an instant cast spammable main DPS ability. It's so broken it doesn't even exist.

Almost every attack on the warden has a small delay, not very instant cast when one of them even takes half a decade before it even activates

I’m pretty sure some people think FP/CS is a sorc ability lol. Sorcs do not have an instant cast non execute ability that doesn’t require proc or time delay. That said, it isn’t a huge issue that we don’t have one imo.

It's a cone GROUND aoe kinda like elemental blockade once you cast it it's only going to hit any thing in that area
no matter where you aim afterwords it just don't got a ground visual effect

Gilvoth

you do realize that healers in ALL mmo's are meant to Heal and not suppose to be awesome killers in pvp right ?

biting jabs is the Stamina morph i sure hope no one is using that as the healer.

Greetings all,

While constructive criticism is allowed, Bashing is most certainly not. We would also like to add, due to removing a handful of posts for Baiting and Flaming, we must remind everyone that Baiting and Flaming are also violations of the rules that we have in place. We will allow this thread to remain open as long as posts can remain civil, constructive, and on topic.

Thank you for your understanding,
-Greg-

Skander

You can always roll imperial and heal off biting jabs

MalakithAlamahdi

Works fine for me.

May I add that AC screws jabs and flurry.
Roll a NuB.
Incap atk.
Cloak heal.

Gotta get those roots! Root+cc+jabs and you'll stab them all night lol.

Elvent

Mine always land.

Brotherchaotic

My jabs miss. I could stun someone and hit 1 Jan they break free and I miss the other 3. Moving players can't be hit even when they are in range unless you go into 1st person view, but then you can't see anything.

Vapirko

A good idea is to CC your enemy first (reverb bash, dizzy swing, DBoS etc). Reverb to jabs to DBoS works pretty well with a pol explosion to finish it. It depends on your latency though. If I were to make a list of classes that do not play well for those overseas or with really bad latency of like 290-350+ then stamplar would almost certainly be at or near the top.

Always uses sweep on my healer outside of trials, lots of fights you only need mutagen and combat prayers for heal.
In pve its no issue with them, now since its an rather small cone in front of you and an channel enemies in pvp can easy get out.

DanteYoda

That video looked like serious latency issues...

MajBludd

The only issue I find with it is if you use critical rush, you go through your opponent and are jabbing air.

In PvP, you're more likely to underperform with any close-in face-to-face skill, as practically the other toon(s) is moving, rolling and hopping in every which ways direction. Even 2H's Dizzying Swing or Executioner isn't all that against fluid player target. It's definitely not PvE where the add/mob/boss are right on you in front of you where you can't miss (well, most of the time.) For PvP, you're better off with a staff or other range and burst skills.

Pointless complaint thread... I use it on two stamplar and a magplar. Be more detailed. Otherwise its most likely user error
