Draining Shot

ATomiX96

Remove this skill, ranged (12m to 28m in murkmire because they needed a selling point for Blackrose Bow), does damage, cheap cost and has unavoidable cc knockback + stun?
Is this some kind of off season april fools?
I thought the agenda was making skills single purpose hence removing stun from crystal frags.



inb4 just roll dodge 4Head when you get chased by 10 people spamming draining shot

Royaji

What if 10 people are chasing you spamming Flame Reach?

SubversusReformed

At least you can break flame reach ^

Can be dodged, blocked, reflected, gets called unavoidable..... lol

It doesnt have disorient either...

Has singular purpose of CCing target with petty damage not even close to anything like frag lol...

OP are you bad? or just mad?

the knockback part of it is not CC-breakable. And when lag hits it just gets exponentially worse.

Single purpose = only does 1 thing
draining shot does:

• Buggy ass CC
• Meh damage
• Draining shot specifically heals for an decent amount
• with BRP bow puts a dot on you
• guarantees the next snipe you queue to land

"no disorient"

Blast an enemy with an explosive arrow, dealing x Physical Damage, knocking them back 6 meters, and disorienting them for 1.5 seconds. After the disorient ends, you heal for y Health.

The issue isn’t how it’s able to be avoided. It’s the bugs behind the skill. When you’re hit with the cc, the animation is completely buggy resulting in you unable to cc break for 3-5 seconds, and if you’re near a hill and get hit by this ability you might as well just log off since you’re going to be in a cc for 5 seconds or longer.

Also the “just dodge, block, or slot wings” response is beginning to become a meme since it’s about as useful as someone telling me to slot purge.

Can’t dodge when a coward bow build is spamming it from 40 meters away and it’s completely unexpected. Sure you can dodge if it’s literally right in front of you in a 1v1 situation. But please, how many scenarios are you going to be in where you’re in a 1v1 with someone who uses this ability? Almost slim to none.

Every time me or one of my teammates are hit with this ability it’s from the back or the side completely unaware since all these bow builds are permanently in stealth.

Yeah listing info from some outdated website instead of knowing what it does in game sure helps your argument lol. Seems I cant take you serious and nor should anyone else

Merlin13KAGL

I'm sure they'll adjust it with the release of the next DLC and the new BiS OP weapons it sells provides.

Forgot that PvE gods like you who get 60k vAA scores know every little detail and are almighty, my bad.

ChunkyCat

You can break free from DrainingShot just as well as breaking free from FlameReach. People just need something to complain about.

Maybe if you took a look in game, you would delete this comment

The last part of OP's sig is the icing of his QQ cake, lolololo

There is far too much whining going on about this skill.

This skill works like a CC should. It's no worse than Fear, Fossilize, Permafrost, Time Freeze, etc which are all more egregious IMO.

The projectile is often hard-countered, single traget, deals weak damage, AND the heal is conditional.

Dry your tears and put on your big boy pants and L2P.

ATomiX96

just proves that 99% of people in the forums are lfg zerglings, claiming it works as intended. and that 28 metres of range are fine. keep spamming lfg in zone chat and have a nice day. Sit in those zergs and hit the snipe and drain shot buttons like you mean it. Im personally done with this game and no you cant have my stuff.

Mrsinister2

I get hit with it constantly with no follow attack or anything I'm pretty sure people do it just to be annoying.

Minno

remember when it's heal was dodgeable and the ranged causes nightblade kitties to lose their khajit-nipped minds?!

The ability was strong at 12m, but lets not kid that reducing its range back is going to magically stop zerglings from pressing the cc button 20 times with their buddies lol.

For one, it means you're not playing on Aldmeri Dominion

The buggy break free needs to be fixed but it happens to a lot of skills so ZoS obviously has a break feee issue. Outside of that the skill is meh.

Crying about getting cc by the zerg makes no sense either. In fact it pisses me off when a teammate puts someone on CC DR at the wrong time and now I cant land burst so it could be beneficial. These players who get on here and act affronted that they get cc'd on CD during group play baffles me. It's pretty much a given unless you have hard counters to everything all your opponents are running. Why you don't account for this in your play style is your fault. Sure 1v1 you can counter a lot of cc but in group play you probably need to count on getting hit and plan around it. My bet is eso is your first mmo, I'd hate to see the salt if you played another game where cc is actually a problem.

Lmfao love how ppl in here white knight this totally bugged skill.
Remember ppl whine about rune cage?
Remember ppl whine about frag stun?
Remember ppl constantly whine for dk fossilize nerf?
But this buggy-ass bow skill, which should have NEVER gotten a range increase is defended by those very same ppl who complain about any other CC that could hurt them but they cant use themself cause most of those ppl play Stamblades...

The range increase was long overdue. Then again, so are the bug fixes

Stratforge

I don't like this skill

TimeDazzler

Polish the cc break making it smoother and problem solved.

Took one look at your recent discussions/posts and guess what? I was right. You are one of those Stamblades

killimandrosb16_ESO

Ye the cc is retardedly bugged. Fix it and the skill becomes reasonable. Quite a strong skill for a spammable cc, but still. Combined wit all the other cc's, forcing players to turtle up its a problem. Theres far too many skills which has a cc attached to the damage or buff. Time to remove some cc. Might be good for the lag as well.

You are right, nerf them all, they are all zerging skills.
