How do you counter Stacking Knockbacks

Iskiab

So I was doing BGs today and I kept getting chain knocked back. Even against only like 3 sorcs. They’d spam reach so I’d be knocked back continuously, once it felt like I was being knocked back for almost 3 seconds straight stuck in the knock back animation.

How do you counter this? I couldn’t break free because I was always in the knockback animation.

You get immunity after.. gap close then..

I more mean during the chain cc animation. I’d say it’s one of the leading causes of my death.

Immunity pots or gap closers fire during the knockback animation? I could block (I think) but it’d deplete my stamina fast and my main is magicka.

I'm saying gap close after you break free. You have immunity for like 3 sec. Break free is glitchy, it happens

Is it a lag issue? I’ve noticed after playing for a while I’ll get more and more laggy. Especially in cyrodiil, where it will eventually lead to a disconnect.

Quick restart fix the issue?

You return the favor by spamming CCs on them.

If you're talking about a lack of CC immunity; like you get Speared, or Clenched and then DK leaps and your character gets knocked back a second time when you should have immunity; then there is no counter as that shouldn't be happening (probably a relic from when you had to CC break to actually gain immunity)

If you're talking about being CC'd on cooldowns, you can try a dodge roll occasionally if not a Stam class. As a mag class I usually just make sure to always have enough Stam to CC break

I think this is what he is talking about. As I've noticed that sometimes it bugs and can be ping ponged around by knockbacks if they land at just the right time. Dizzy + clench seem to be a major culprit as well as either plus leap. It must not activate immunity till slightly after it lands and the animation starts or lag is messing with it.

Yup this. I’ll try restarting my PC.

Getting knocked back then leap knocked back so broken. Happens frequently in BG (console PS4)

Double CC’d/knock back? It’s a big and there’s little you can do about it. Double CC is death

If you happen to lag more the longer you play (not playing afternoon into prime time), you should sort out your add-ons. Floating combat text and minimap are primary offenders here.

Do you mean the in-game combat text as well?

No, in-game combat text is fine for me. But stuff like FTC or LUI extended (combat text options) as well as the minimaps can happen to become laggy after extended fights. Just activate what you really need shown. The authors are always fixing stuff and there is no stack overflow like it used to be but the more add-ons you have hooking on the events and refreshing their calculations every frame, the more FPS drops and lag you will have. I suppose the ESO Lua engine is not the quickest.

Though lag does not vanish but at least stuff doesn't become worse over time as your memory runs full.

Good tip, when I go into cyrodiil it’s usually for 5 hours at a time. Usually performance drops and I’ll reboot every time I’m in there.

Thats because they don't apply CC immunity when the initial CC lands. Thats how it should be coded.The break are should just be for gaining control of you toon.

"With Paper."

"What if my opponent plays Scissors?"

"L2P NOOB LOL"

I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or just really dumb.

I love getting hit my dizzying swing then sliding on the ground for 5 secs as the enemy gets a couple more hits on me.

Then swap to a Stamina Spec and boom all your woes are gone.
