Time to nerf Rushing Agony

No it's not literally uncounterable or unbeatable. But it brings absolutely nothing positive to the game. It's worthless against ball groups, while punishing randoms just for existing. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. It doesn't enable solo bomber as a playstyle, sorry, you're not doing anything by killing afk'ers. It enables the sweatiest of tryhard organized groups, those who need absolutely zero help, to automate their bombs. Disgusting.

It breaks the game's own rules regarding pulls and disabling effects in general. Being yanked across the battlefield is even worse than a hard stun in most cases, yet zero immunity into a consecutive hard stun (or additional pulls). DK chain and Silver Leash are expensive active single target skills, yet they apply immunity. Rushing Agony is a passive free braindead proc, yet it's AoE and doesn't apply immunity? Huh?

The "Against Monsters" mechanic was made for this day.

    Or just take free pull sets out of the game. That would be the optimal solution. Free pull sets should not exist in PvP environments. It's fine in PvE, but in PvP the free pull machanic is just toxic and unfair.

    Good point, I've seen groups put that Swarm Mother set on their healbots to zerg down solos.

    Bad server performance + Ball groups = Unlimited pull range, i'm just tired of it.

    probably the biggest strength of rush is the not applying cc immunity

    it also probably didnt help the last round of changes buffed this set with the range increase (even though it appeared as a nerf for adding the 200 ms delay to the pull, this made it stronger in lag)

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    Theres so many options for ZOS to fix this issue, they just need to choose one. Make it apply cc immunity, make it apply cc immunity to players, make it work only against non players… heck, could give it cc immunity and then fill in their set quota by making a new set that’s rush of agony again but only works against monsters.

    The only "Fix" for Rush of Agony would be to add the "to monsters only" condition to the set so that it would be useless in PvP situations.

    Yes. Can we expand this to include any pull sets like Dark Convergence.... pretty please...

    At the bare minimum the set should be reduced to 8m and apply cc immunity. I would also advocate for its removal.
    Before I was just of the opinion that it only required cc immunity applied to it but it is so prevalent and buggy that it is a pest. It pulls far to frequently from beyond the 12m range and through the environment.

    3 days and not a single "git gud" comment yet. That's how you know something is seriously broken.

    Bunch of us got pulled from before the bridge entryway all the way up into the bridge tower second floor today. Through the floor and wall. Thought I was abducted by aliens or something.

    This set is proof the devs do not play in cyrodiil.

    There is no way anyone with actual executive power to change things would ever put up with the nonsense Rush of Agony inflicts on cyrodiil, every single night by every single organized group. Zero chance.

    It will get nerfed then replaced with something just as stupid. But personally I'm sooooo sick of it can't have one fight with out getting pulled from a mile away.

    Yep. This and the PvP live stream from a couple months ago made it undeniable.
