Roll Dodge: My Positioning Weapon

AshenArcanist

Something I noticed while fighting the Abomination. If you keep a tight circle around him and never stop moving, he struggles to land hits at all. It seems like his turning can’t keep up with constant lateral movement, especially if you stay close and controlled. One thing I learned the hard way – if your circle gets too wide, the whole system breaks. You can pull in other enemies like the Netch, and once that happens everything collapses. A big circle becomes a reset. What worked consistently for me was clearing the battlefield first, then starting the fight immediately. There seems to be a timing element with the ads, so keeping the fight clean and controlled from the beginning makes a big difference. Roll dodging through the boss creates position. From behind, the punishment becomes consistent, and the fight stays contained. The leash never becomes a factor. A lightning staff pairs well with this, since it allows constant pressure without interrupting movement. It looks complicated at first, but once you get the rhythm, it becomes very repeatable. ESO has a way of rewarding simple mechanics when you take the time to understand them.
