Sorc Vamp Bat Swarm.

gumboeb17_ESO
I play on EP Bloodthorn. What is going on with this Bat Swarm skill and people being unkillable and wiping out large groups of 30+ people. How do you stop them?

I've tried silver bolts, CC, Everything i can throw at them and nothing works.

I've just rage quit because of DC players using this and they are unstoppable.

I know the game is still young and there's many balance things to come but this is killing pvp for me and others right now.

    Basically, this skill is leeching life from enemy players in melee.

    When you see a guy popping his bat swarm, you have to stay the hell away from him and dps him down.

    Problem is, when in a big group, some people are always going to stay next to the vamp and let him regen. This ultimate is far less effective in 1c1 situations, but since vampires tend to stack ultimate cost reduction, they can use it every 5 seconds or so.

    From what I have heard there is a bug, while in mist form (taking 25%) damage he can cast Bats for 0 ultimate which means he can stack it 10, 20 , 30 times as many times as he hits the R key. Coupled with the fact he should not be able to heal but the bats are healing him like crazy he is nearly unkillable. Best best is to try and use just ranged attacks and run from him. One of these guys wiped 20 Vets solo by dropping on us as we attacked a keep, another attacked 40 and only went down when nearly every meele character was dead and the ranged were to spread out for him to hit all at once.

    The ultimate cost reduction stacks ADDITIVELY which means you can stack it all the way to 95% or higher for bat swarm and cast it for like 12 ultimate or less and have it refresh almost instantly. With the morph that heals you, you can become unkillable as long as you are surrounded by enemies

    This problem has allready been addressed where not only Bat swamp but all but healing aoes will be nerfed to cap at 6 players at once that can be affected. A bad way of doing it if you ask me but meh. That opinion is for another thread.

    Disable all Werewolf and Vampire abilities in Cyrodiil.

    Easy fix.
