Stamdens interrupts screwed

gaza_kma

the only interrupt Stamdens had , Draining Shot has just had the interrupt portion stripped from it . Well done to the numbskull who thought that up , jeez which ex Blizzard employee was it , coz that was classic Blizzard stupidity

Stamden can't interrupt with Shrouded Dagger?

Solariken

If you want a stun just choose the Magnum Shot morph.

my bad here , I didn,t fully explain drain Shot was low dmg , but it had good sustain / interrupt . A great utility ability especially for bow/bow Stamdens . So now I either have interrupt or sustain . Both are essential , no sustain you die , no interrupt you die .
It solely punishes solo pve players .
Blizzthesda thoughtlessly discriminated against a minority playing style without any consideration . basically exactly what one would expect if it was a with a bigoted , xenophobic company ethic , sound familar Donald

For solo PvE "sustain" just keep Green Lotus buff up - you can stay alive all day literally just light attacking.

Bethesda are going the same way Blizzard did . As we all know it ended up with there really being only one playing style choice . Everybody playing a particular class would all be using exactly the same skills , wearing exactly the same gear . It became a game of mindless macro,s . Classes became mindless robots .
ESD is so much more , why do Bethesda persist in this short sighted regime of uniformity . Why are they slavishly following the Blizzard mindset .
Theirs an old saying " if it aint broke don't try to fix it ". It seem Bethesda think they must change things to refresh the game , you don't new ideas , innovation are what refresh a game not mindless changes .

But you dont get sustain from Green Lotus when solo. The Natures Gift passive only works when you heal someone else not yourself.

@gaza_kma not to nitpick, but Bethesda have nothing to do with this game. This is Zenimax.

As they said, the skill offered to much. Ranged heal, stun and damage all in one. now you have to choose, heal/ snare or Stun and increased damage.

the dmg that drain shot did is only 5 k , it is one of the lowest dmg skills . putting it on your action bar for dmg would be a joke , it usefulness was it sustain and interrrupt , for dmg you use endless hail, lethal shot, poison shot , subterean even cliff diver are better options .
it was a useful UTILITY skill now its just crap

You are right but I believe the person you are talking to means just the heals when they said "sustain" "stay alive all day" means just the heals, not the Stam/mag back

I can get it to 7k damage and 8k heal in Fortified Brass and Bloodspawn. Sure it was intended as a utility skill but was a little overloaded. And sure reducing the damage and keeping the stun would have been better but Zos didnt see it that way.

interupt? you mean knockback? magnum shot still has it.

for interupt there is venom arrow.

Oakmontowls_ESO

Yea unless I'm mistaken venom arrow is an interrupt still and one was just added to dual wield.
