    It's a 5% chance to hit with that damage. In my opinion, the risk of being a vamp or werewolf. As a non vamp or werewolf, what is my advantage? I will tell you, Silver Bolt. If you choose to have the added extra vamp and werewolf have, then you must suffer this 5% chance on hit. Why would we make every vamp and wolf super awesome with no down falls? It just makes it so everyone should be vamp or wolf to compete, which is BS! So suffer the disadvantage, and deal with the fact that on occasion (5%) you will vaporize :P

    Silver Bolts has always had the chance to hit like a truck, but it's always been a 5% chance on Daedra, or undead, or werewolves if you get the fighters guild passive.

    It's always been there since the start.

    I struck through the werewolf thing since there is no real inherent advantage to being a werewolf currently (even without the silver bolts one shot).

    What advantage do you get from being a Werewolf in it's current state?

    I believe there was another thread about this, saying that though the tooltip says 5% chance, it seems to be more towards between 50-100%.

    What a pity! The new insta-kill works only against other players, but not in PvE.

    yes but its borken now , its clearly not meant to make being a vamp or WW completely unplayable since you get one shot every 2 clicks of silver bolts , if that was intended they would have mentioned this dont you think?

    That's killing PVP. They've just applied a hotfix for adding guards. This kind of issue should be treated with the same level of priority !

    they dont work. if it said the proc chance was 50-100% then it would be working properly.. but it says 5% which i,m ok with .. but its currently screwed

    From other reports it's not a 5% chance right now, it's a 100% chance. It's bugged.

    "everyone is spamming it" and "its more like 50% now"
    hmmm, can anyone confirm this 50%? Logic is leading me to believe that with everyone spamming it, the potential of that 5% to hit you is greater with multiple spammers.
    In other words, more then the spastic complaining will need to be presented for evidence.
    My vamp is broken so I will remove game....that is what people say. As if they can bully ESO into an immediate fix IF it is broken (it may very well be for all I really know).
    Back up a moment folks, document the issue and show this to ESO. That is the constructive way to do things, especially since the patch is barely 24hrs old....

    No need to document it. Any dev can notice it by testing it. It will take only 2 minutes.
  • andreas.rudroffb16_ESO
    if 20 spam it and its 5% thats a 100% hit :)

    just get rid of your vampire

    "Logic" by people who don't know the facts is stupidity.

    It's going off constantly otherwise you would've seen these posts every day prior to the patch. Also, no one would be a vampire still to tell you that they're proccing. #Logic

    yeah, logic gorant. You have not presented any facts, so my "stupidity" exists till done. What a ***.
    Side note: the devs have acknowledged the forums and are looking into it. So the overly dramatic complainers can maybe chill out a bit. doubt it though :P

    to be fair, you get perks for beeing vampire why dont you accept the downs

    get rid of it and you are fine

    its not a class or normal skillline

    werewolfes dont complain and have the same downside

    you want a non common skill line to give perks without downs in pvp ?
