Make engine guardian untargetable.

    Even in open world cyrodiil during big battles...

    I come in a keep from the main gate, run to the inner main gate, there is a bund of people. I fire my Inevitable Detonation into the group of players and when it finally casts it goes like 60 degrees to the right on an Engine Guardian pet instead to a player in front of me I targeted...

    It's like the Engine Guardian pet is attracting your skills...

    I can't count how often my Dragon Leap went on that pet instead of the player although I had the player even in tab target...

    Same happens to me, though in BG's on my Templar with Radiant Glory.

    I see an opponent dip into execute range... I aim, and... FIRE!

    Then watch was my beam hits their full health Engine Guardian (or someone else's Engine Guardian) instead, and the opponent escapes to live another day, or worse, comes back and beats the living daylights out of me.

    I lost count of how many incaps, fossilizes, cfrags etc my Guardian soaks up, it's pretty insane.
    Easily 20% of all single target dmg just dissappears, if cmx is to be believed.
    Also the health beam in no cp heals for more than my crit! Vigor heals.
    And the cooldown is also bugged, getting back to back guardian spawns all the time.

    Or maybe they could make bash/interrupts instantly kill the EG and waste the users proc window

    THIS

    EG is too powerful not to have counters, if they wanna make it untargetable, they would need to nerf it considerably.

    Also stop it from teleporting to the user. I nocked it off the cliff and it just teleported right back up, about to open a ticket on that engine guardian.

    What are you gonna report that Engine Guardian for? Dubious machinations?
    ...because, machine?
    Get it?
    IT'S FUNNY!

    In my opinion one of 3 solutions needs to be implemented for Engine Guardian:

    1. Make it untargetable once it has completed its summoning animation, but if bashed during the summoning it despawns.
    2. Make it stationary. Moving away from the tether/beam despawns the sphere.
    3. Bashing/interrupting the sphere makes it despawn instantly

    My opinions on whether summons should be targetable really falls under what they do.

    If they provide sustain as a primary function (eg. Engine Guardian, Warden's Netch, Necro's Spirit) then they should not be targetable. If they must be targetable, then they should either have very low health or as mentioned previously, bashing should unsummon.

    However, if they deal damage as a primary function (eg. Sorc pets, Warden's Bear, Maw of the Infernal) then they should be targetable, and subject any and all cc effects. Nothing would please me more than being able to knock that daedroth off a ledge and back into Oblivion.

    Leave EG alone. What is this? Call of Duty? “I hit the EG instead of the player”, l2p dude. A Nightblade going cloak with EG is hilarious, fun and annoying. But Against Other Classes using EG, there’s this thing called Target lock, lock on target, then use your skills.

    If EG gets nerfed then people will use Earthgore and it will be more problematic. Trust me, you don’t want 55k hp werewolves running around with Earthgore. I do it, and my inbox is full of hate mail lol.

    That's a problem with werewolf, not Earthgore. And target lock does nothing in this game, because this isn't WoW. It's just a visual help.

    This, people dont understand that "tab" targeting someone does exactly zilch.

    And this is how you realize when someone doesn't even play the game LOL. There is no such thing as target lock in this game
