    It’ll never be like 1.6 . In 1.6 you could Jesus beam someone from 100 to 0 .

    Don't get too excited, it got buffed multiple times over the PTS because of how lackluster the skill is. Most templar builds were able to do more damage by light attacking for the duration instead

    And skilled players will LoS if ans mitigate it successful most of the time. Never really had an issue when on the receiving end of this skill so expect none now and I wouldn’t say I’m a great player.

    Man I gotta see you play sometime, do you stream? Sloads doesn’t bother you, don’t care about being Jesus beamed in the back, you must have a damn good build with some serious skil.

    Prolly no real reason to worry since most magplars spam this on full health enemies :D

    :D Only because we're fat, heavy, and slow and it's all we can reach you fast little turds with when you're running away.

    It is funny though, even as a Maglar myself, to just stand there while some dingleberry beams me at full health and doesn't even jolt my health bar.

    It’s definitely an improvement. It’s nice to finally see your DPS go up instead of down when you use it. Now here’s hoping this skill never sees another PVP nerf because OMG someone died to a Templar.

    From Today;s patch notes:
    Templar

    Dawn’s Wrath
    Radiant Destruction: Increased the maximum bonus execute damage dealt by this ability and its morph to 480% from 330%.

    1.6 levels of Jesus Beam are back! Everyone get out your Templars! if you don't have a Soulshine set, go get one! (Pair it with War Maiden or Spinners)

    Nightblades thought Rune Cage was bad? LOL...just wait till the 9-11k ticks off this baby again!

    Magplars are back with a venageance...going to be a lot of dodge roll centered builds(mostly Nightblades) getting rekt by this skill. How long will it be before they are on here whining like they whined about Rune Cage....I give it two weeks at most.

    Lot of folks will be dusting off their Magplars once they realise the old Jesus Beam is back!

    Then forumblades will cry it back to oblivion. Anyways I've got war maiden and spinners... time to retire the sorc. It was fun while it lasted.

    Played for a few minutes earlier and had a few good fights but one of them i felt the new beam and wow .. no animation heard the sound for a split second and instantly died to it from 25% health .. instant death. should be fun once this catches on more

    Yup

    I knew when they changed it on the PTS but I kept quiet, wanted to actually see if they would let this go live

    Just knock 25% off your max health right now because that what your real max health is. You will be dead before you hear it now.



    can it still be animation cancelled, when used as an execute?

    nasty trick, that one.

    I haven't really seen beam as strong as what it once was, but it is, indeed, strong again, and I'm quite happy about that. Finally a buff.

    It was fun rolling around on a magplar tonight for a auld lang syne, but Radiant was pretty lackluster. The very last tick of a beam from a templar that usually does reasonably good damage was still only 3200. Also on my death recap? 4200 from instant, pre-cast, non-channeled Mages Wrath and 3 non-executes that did more damage. I'm pretty certain Impale would do more damage than RD as well.

    I'm sure people will see death recaps with multiple ticks and freak out again, but it's not super strong this patch, especially with the amount of mitigation people can stack now.

    Well, according to the people who wanted it nerfed back in the days you could apparently kill any target in Cyrodil with 3 jesusbeams......

    Most ridiculous nerf to a skill this game has ever seen.....
    It’ll never be like 1.6 . In 1.6 you could Jesus beam someone from 100 to 0 .

    lmao.........unless you were running around naked that never happened....

    Haha same goes for me. Los, mist form it, cloak it, purge it, bash it. The most anoying part of this skill is when you 1vX and you have this beam on you at 100%, while others try to DPS you, but hey at least I know who's my first target ;)

    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    Yep, basically this. People who starts beaming you at full health gets priority xD

    They nerfed it loads of times over the years so this one buff means nothing. Also this skill scales badly anyway.
