Have seen quite a few of these new overload gank builds. They hide between keeps and kill unsuspecting riders with two light attacks. Was riding from Faregyl to Alessia last night and died pretty much instantly and had no idea what it was til i checked my death recap and saw i got hit by two overload light attacks for 15.5k and 11k respectively.

Now granted I was on a somewhat squishy stamblade but this seems unbalanced. Would like to see some changes to it.

I get instakilled quite often by the snipe gank builds with hits of 16-17k, stun and instant follow-up. Gank build is a gank build, no matter the class.

I just write it off as a consequence of me running a build with low health and low passive mitigation, rezz and carry on.

But nooo - if its a sorc doing it (or anything for that matter) - everyone cries nerf!

I got hit with 14K one while trying to solo a resource, and then the second one critted for 17K (I have 3100 crit resistance).

20k is quite possible on the right target.

Ok then. If you have below 20K health, you have absolutely no right to cry about being one-shotted. You are basically asking for it. I would advise you to increase your effective healthpool. A good rule of thumb is actually 22-25k health.

Big diff between lining up a gank with skills and spamming left click, u appear to be overlooking this aspect entirely.

Then you would get hit by the guy that hit me for around 25K. I've only ever taken one hit in the game over 11K, and that was a dragon leap. No hit in the game has ever come within 5K of the strongest overload hit I've ever taken.

i have never been one shot before. not even snipe spam. snipers have to build there build around snipe and they cant really do anything else. overload just requires high max stats and youre good. obviously OP. if you deny you need to re think. also snipe spam with a stun requires a few seconds of set up to be stealth while magsorcs can just turn around and run cage overload.

In BGs, that isn't really that easy to do without the extra 3K resources from CP. And isn't really a necessary health requirement there.

And as far as Overloads, I remember prior to Summerset I was working on an overload build and outside of Cyrodil I was getting Overload Crits for around 50K+. With the Summerset changes, a 15K Overload seems a bit on the low end for PVP.

You have never been oneshot before, except by the slowest most obvious projectile in the game? Snipe and Overload require the exact same thing to hit high damage numbers. High stats (max stat + wep dmg.). I get that you are trying to argue that Overload is OP, and sure - it might be. But not because you are getting one-shot by it. With 17.8K health you will be oneshot by anyone with a high-dmg glasscannon build, using an ultimate. You will not survive a Dizzy into Leap, a Fossilize into Meteor or any other bread and butter combo.

It is easy, once you realize that you can't stack everything into damage. Tristat glyph is your friend. And yes, it is a health requirement, if you don't want to get oneshot.

I had a few 13-15k dings in Cyro, seeing it more last few days and with higher numbers thats a nasty build for whoever is rolling it.

Waffennacht

Funnier is to watch a sorc do it to a winged opponent.

I literally sent the DK a message about how funny it was to watch the sorc blow himself the heck up.

DK knew exactly what was going on lmfao

Can only speak from my own experiences, but never been hit by overload as hard as I have by snipe.

The damage OL has done has always been in a ball park. People just using it more cos of streamers

It still has all the same downsides it always had. It's like toe pointing a World Cup penalty into the crowd half the time
