Does Soul Shatter work?

Traisa

I have this passive ability, but when I've died, I don't recall seeing my soul explode.

Did you have Soul Trap or Soul Assault slotted at the time?

Traisa

No, does it need to be slotted? I would think if it was required, it would say so, like other skills say when something has to be equipped in order to get the effect to work.

You have to have a soul magic spell equipped. In earlier betas you didn't, but it was changed. They never changed the tooltip for that passive after the adjustment though.

Traisa

Oh, well that kind of sucks. I don't have any slots to spare. I guess I could get the ultimate. Is Soul Shatter really worth it though? I'd hate to waste a skill point if I won't be able to use it.

I've been playing with this. It seems I can have Soul Trap slotted and it still won't activate.

Soul shatter is a really powerful ultimate, but it's a channel. So use it wisely or activate immovable before you use it(if we're talking 1v1).

Hmm..Ok then you have to have the ultimate slotted. It definitely works with that equipped, since I use the ultimate a lot and it always procs after death.

Thanks for clarifying this. Was going to assume glitch.

Its a glitch then. There is only 2 active skills in the Soul Line, if either one of them is slotted shatter soul will proc.

Traisa

Ok, thanks. I think I'll go for the ultimate then. As long as I have it slotted in one of my ultimate slots, it will still register, right? Even if I'm not currently using the other weapon swap at that time?

Jade_Knightblazerb14_ESO

Must be on your active bar (current weapon layout) at the time you die for it to proc. There is no way of getting around to having a free corpse boomey thing. =/

Traisa

Awww, it's so limiting. lol
