Cant imagine this is going to get used much anymore. Especially in pvp.

    Good, it should have been only doing damage in channel and stunning in channel, instead it was all frontloaded.

    It will be coming in the greymoor chapter, not in this one. so hold on to your tin foil hats to those praying for the Vampire Lord.
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    On one hand, I'm very glad the stun is going away because it has a massive, buggy delay associated with it, but on the other, the stun or damage itself was never the issue with this ability. It was the delayed break free, and a lot of mag classes are going to suffer for a ZOS-iconic quick and dirty fix (magblade, magden).

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Yeah, this is one of the few changes I am super disappointed about. I'm really sick and tired of stuns being altered or outright removed because of PvP. Stuns are fun in PvE. If they are such a problem in PvP, I don't understand why the developers don't just alter how those abilities work in PvP. We used to have an ability that worked like that - it stunned NPCs but only snared PCs. That would have been an elegant solution to the Vampire Drain issue.

    I don't know about 'a lot of mag classes are going to suffer" without this, for me it's really a non issue. Magden is perfectly fine without this skill and for Magblade....I don't know if there's even room for this skill on your bar, nor did they ever need this skill. This skill was mainly used for the reasons you said and people used it to get clutch kills with.

    I'd settle for the stun happening at the "end" of the channel if block canceling considers that as ending it. That way I can stun (on demand) canceling the damage from channel. Block canceling the ability and reactivating would be close to how it operates currently on live.

    Never heard complaints about this skill for the longest until MagCros started making use of it. Ridiculous

    Except now magicka classes that dont have a decent class stun option are now even more worse off
