Surprise attack should have a cast time

Nerftheforums

I don't understand why it doesn't have one already. Relentless has a travel time, incap has a cast time and gives free cc immunity to the target if casted over 120, whereas surprise attack only got major fracture removed? Hello?
Where's my identity as the cast time class??

Come on, now, can't be giving ZoS any more bright ideas~

I think shade should have cast time too and requirement to be slotted on both bars. Also remove minor maim, and instead make it apply stacks of maim, 3% for each stack, 5 stacks max, target receives cc-immunity on 5th stack and all stacks are consumed.

Horrible idea, obviously means it has a good chance of being in tomorrow’s natch potes.

we definitly need more stacks along merciless for easy to use mechanics!

Yes! More casttimes are good and fun!

Eso combat and a nightblade (quick burst class) are too fast. When i am playing with my feet i am just not fast enough to react to other people attacking me.

I bet it is because everyone who kills me in the game uses macros. Damn those macro users and their animation cancel cheating!!!!11!!!!1!1!!!!1

It's also dumb cloak doesn't have a cast time, I mean IRL you wouldn't just be able to procure a cloak instantly and place it ontop of yourself. Also add a cast time to light attacks, bashes, weapon swap and roll dodge.

wouldnt be much of a suprise would it?

Where is my cast time on passives, i mean its not immersive for passives to proc out of nowhere

Or yet better all skills should have individual cooldown times up to 120s for ult.

I wouldn't be surprised by anything - At this point the game is just a meme.

On behold of the rock and mud utilizing *** erectus stam DK identity i support this.

Casttimes make sense because in order to suprise someone you need to make up a plan.
Therefore i think depending from where you attack the enemy it should take longer.
So 1.2 seconds if you are infront of the enemy
1 second if you attack from a side
and 0.8 seconds if you attack from behind
Maybe add some RNG feature that gives me immersion of me not finding a plan to suprise in such a short time so the casttime gets longer from time to time.
This would really help with making hitting the skill feel good and rewarding

I haven't even used the skill since its last nerf, why nerf it further?

Where do these terrible ideas come from?

Was about to make a sarcastic comment as well. But at this point I'm afraid that ZOS will make this meme reality.

people seem to suggest that a lot... but cloak isn't as effective as streak as an escape tool.

Inner Light + Detect pots cancel stealth, which a gap closer won't even cancel the distance traveled with 1-2 streaks.

If all you do is play pvp in cyrodiil then everything already has a cast time due to lag. If they put a cast time in surprise attack then I'm done and everyone can have all my stuff.

Zos should take surprise attack and give it to stam sorcs, because nightblade are ungreatful guys and don't deserve anything. Nightblades already have claok as spammable, get over it already.

Where is that, "forum posts should have a cast time," thread when we need it?

Somber97866

No I disagree. Learn to block or roll Dodge but asking to nerf a build that's been almost nerfed into the ground doesn't need anymore taken away.

Hello this the ESO forums you are looking for the wow forums you can take your turn based combat suggestions over there.

The cast time on the Incap/Soul Harvest ultimate is too strong. It needs a cast time to balance it so that the cast time is balanced. Cast times are potent and they need cast times on them to keep them under control.

A cast time of 5 seconds seems appropriate to add the the cast time on Incap/Soul Harvest.
