"Burning - 2932 Damage" one hit death exploit
So i was one hit killed by an attack called "Burning" and the damage was massive. It was accompanied by a light (and even a heavy, in one case) Dest Staff attack. It happened several times to several ppl, by the same guy.

nukeyoo✭✭✭Well there's only one class that traits 66% damage increase to burning effect. I would think it would have to be somewhere in the equation.- done w/ it1 -

✭Uhm Burning is considered a DOT I "think" therefore your death recap would show an accumulation of the DOT rather than it actually being a one time hit.
Can someone verify whether its a DOT or not?2 -
Sihnfahl✭✭✭✭Did you at least take screenshots of a death recap? That'd help us narrow down the sequence that led up to those high damage numbers.0

His name is
, daggerfall cov., if you wana throw him a friend req. and see. He was the only person doing it - and several people got hit.Edited by OndursKelto on July 1, 2014 12:43AM1 -
I did. Is there a way i can share a jpeg located on my harddisk? And the Burning effect is no accumulation. I get hit once, and 2 lineitems show up: the Burning for upper 2-thousand dmg and a Heavy/Light attack for 100-300 or w/eEdited by OndursKelto on July 1, 2014 12:43AM0

✭afaik burning comes from the flame damage enchantment. Was it a long fight?
mine only crits at most for 100 or so and he would have to hit you like 20 times with his staff to get that much damage accumulated.(Unless its a DOT)Edited by Tintinabula on July 1, 2014 12:52AM0 -
Venithar✭✭✭I've seen death recaps before with some pretty insane "burning" damage all from 1 person in a fight that lasted less then 2 seconds, though in that case there were 10+ very coordinated (aka multi-boxed) people all casting the exact same thing all at the exact time. So in that case, I wonder if the burning from all of them stacked and showed only as from the one person (though every single person that died from that insane damage death recap damage came from the same person).0

I cant explain it better than by saying he "One hit kills me". Everyone else he pointed his staff at, also got it. There was no battle. He just shoots a regualr staff attack once and you die.
The next occasion I was battling and he used a Heavy attack instead of a light attack, but it hit for near about the same dmg (Burning). The Heavy attack was higher of course though. Did not screen capture that one.Edited by OndursKelto on July 1, 2014 1:00AM1 -

✭yea thats pretty crazy..one person..one light attack and a stupid crit it seems .o.O1 -
Tintinabula✭✭✭✭✭
✭/bug it as an exploit. Atleast give the devs something to see as a warning hey this exploit is coming.2 -
Venithar, there were a few people doing whatever here and there. No coordination that I could see. All I remember was two fiery balls heading at my face, with full health, and then I died.2

Tendeep✭✭✭I read people complaining about this same thing in Wabba pvp this afternoon - People saying the exact same thing, dying by one shot "burning." I didn't know what it meant until looking at this picture.
-
I do not know if its tied to this or not, but I would be in battle, and instantly die to cast type attacks myself, but never this one directly. Tied to hacks? Lag?Edited by Tendeep on July 1, 2014 3:28AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Very nice last line on the chat feed: "mm tictacs"
Auriel's Bow could use more of that type of humor and not just "Is EP fighting today??" one-liners.1 -

Even the name is that of a shady character.
"Burning" isn't anything class specific. It is the chance added effect when hitting with a fire element, whether it is a player spell or fire enchant on your weapon. Theres no way that it should be doing that much.Edited by demonlkojipub19_ESO on July 1, 2014 4:18AM2 -
I mad a DC alt and friended him to see his class. I couldnt resist the urge to speak to him. I wont go into what was said but he played dumb. He said he cant help it and that it was something to do with switching between his weapon, something about an "error" - all in broken English posing as an Argentinian.1

Although this:
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/64391/can-not-chose-the-clases
would support his alibi. Im sure he is still playing coy, but he is probably from Argentina.Edited by OndursKelto on July 1, 2014 4:20AM1 -

✭could there be some sort of bug with stacking enchants? Overlaying identical enchants causing the damage to actually stack on a weapon rather than cancel out the previous enchant?0 -
Thats the exact thing that comes to my mind, Tintin. But I am not as versed in those types of mechanics/statistics as others and was waiting for someone to say it.Edited by OndursKelto on July 1, 2014 4:38AM0

Animus✭✭I have been hit by the same "Burning" attack several times for 3k damage. I really have no clue how it can accumulate so much damage in one tick.0 -

✭Death recap showing [snip]
Yesterday I was killed (just killed, with no OMG-damage) and compared my death recap and CLS combat log.
They was different!

✭I checked enchants and while you used to be able to replace same enchants it seems that has been fixed..you cant waste a like enchant on the same ring or weapon.0
