Corrosive Armor: No Can Defend

sabresandiego_ESO

I don't want to see this ultimate nerfed in its overall effectiveness, but I definitely think it needs some adjustments to make it more fair to fight against. There are two main issues with this ultimate.

1. The animation is very hard to see, and delayed: Making it difficult to know exactly when its up. If you don't hear the sound you are often screwed.
2. The counterplay to 100% armor ignore is minimal when the attacking DK has extreme mobility and you can't kite them, particularly when combined with petrify

Personally, I don't want to see this ultimate "nerfed" in overall power, but I think there should be more counter-play options and perhaps a shift in the power of this ult in defense/utility/offense to make it more fair so that it isn't such an I win button offensively.

This means perhaps making the ultimate even better defensively or utility wise but taking away some of the offensive ability to completely melt people; or adding better counter play options. Balance adjustments without an overall nerf would be ideal.

Corrosive users have a heavy choice to make when running Sharpened Mauls with Balorgh versus Nirnhoned Greatswords with Domihaus, etc., that frankly isn't easily made when we tend to not easily secure kills outside of Corrosive or the unreliable Leap. That we get some benefit from non-Corrosive penetration on DOTs is a small consolation when this damage also used to benefit from Corrosive.

Otherwise though a reduction of the offensive power of Corrosive is unconscionable without an adjustment to Permafrost, Goliath, Vamp Ult, Werewolf, and maybe even Destro Ult.

When was the last time you thought about oblivion damage as it can ignore the damage cap of corrosive armor and it is supposedly designed to be extremely effective against heavily armoured targets but not as much against light armoured targets.

I would just be happy if it had a more visible animation. Aside from being hard to see if you're fighting someone in traffic, it's just so boring and bland. Even poopfist has a more exciting animation than corrosive.

As a stam DK I would be happy with its penetration removed as long as its damage was buffed to the level of the destro stave ultimate and it immobilized targets that get hit by it 3 times.
