Any plans for blast bones?

Dr_Ganknstein

This ability is soooooo slow in pvp. First it's got the cast time and then you watch as your blastbones runs toward its target (sometimes stand there looking at them for a few seconds before running) and then right when it's about to get within range...poof it pops up dead next to you because the target moved too much. Is this just supposed to be one of those abilities that's not meant for pvp? Guess like slot dizzy, onslaught, executioner..

I'd plan for it to be unreliable for the foreseeable future. ZOS probably doesn't want to redesign the ability into something that actually functions while they (maybe...hopefully) work on fixing the issues with pathing, re-targeting, etc...But hey, at least you're Stamina.

They need to get rid of the idea of it being a summon with path-finding and just give it a fixed travel animation once its supposed to launch regardless of what is between the blastbones and the player. The design is too clunky for it to ever be a reliable pvp ability.

Make blastbones a ghost and the mender a skeleton.

When I fight against necros the only thing scary about blastbones is I know they're using its corpse for protection or ult gen. The dmg from the skill itself is harmless.

Two easy steps to fix blastbones:

1. Makes blastbones summon near the target rather than the caster.
2. Allow the caster to re-cast blastbones early to kill it (creating a corpse) and summon a new one.. same way the other two minions work.

Still wouldn't be perfect but would alleviate a lot of the frustrations of using this skill.

While on my NB I was fighting a stamcro over a resource. I couldn't bur ssd t him down but he couldn't kill me either. I felt bad because he was using blastbones so I let him kill me more so out of respect I have for him trying to use that broken af ability in pvp.
