Draining Shot...holy sweet mother of Talos I LOATHE THIS SKILL.
Whenever I am in PvP and I get hit by this skill...it rage. But I have no clue why it annoys me so much.

You answered your own question.

Probably because its not very telegraphed, it knocks you back, then after the knock back you are stunned. Then when you break free (if you can) you heal the enemy that cast it. All the while they are at max range on a keep wall.

Not anymore, not anymore i'm just thinking how all the sorcs and bowmen will live without opportunity to stun somebody from safety

I really think this morph needs to be reworked.
Maybe reduce the heal or the range, or both.

I think the goal, when ZOS decided to change it, was to give something else to people using bow than poison injection, and to give some easy defensive heal+stun. But I do not think this skill is used like it should do.

safety from a keep wall? u do realize that skill has quite small range right?... /facepalm people come here to complain yet they dont even know the basics.

Lol yeah /facepalm it's quite small range. Just 28m like every other range attack

It's a knockback. Knockback stun you for those 1-2 seconds more of flight time and it's annoying.

Not any worse than clench or javelin.

It’s even funnier to use when you knock people in the water on the Alessia bridge.

Wait, was the 28 meter range on javelin changed too?

That's probably Drain Power/Power extraction- a nightblade class skills

I mean, I even laugh when that happens to me.

Snipe got nerfed to uselessness so people are now using draining shot, go figure.

Lul. To say honestly i don't remember much draining shots from keep walls, but fire clenches were raining down like meteor shower.

I haven’t had it happen to me...yet.

My personal record is four knocked in the water (in a single instance) before getting zerged down.

All the knockback skills are very buggy, especially in lag. (Which is always.)

With the range decrease, it will help decrease the annoyance factor. Bow builds can still use it to get some distance but can't spam it from 28/41m away.

I'd like to see mag javelin drop to the same 15m range and pin the enemy down instead of knocking them out of your melee spammable range. They already changed stam javelin to knock down; mag javelin needs it too.

Waffennacht

Knock back is the worst because of the animation causing a delay in CC break causing more damage than other CCs.

It is getting a range decrease next patch

And this is why PVE suffers time after time after time .. PVP whine about perfectly good skills that get shafted to appease the whiners.
