Soul Assault buff after 1.2.4?

Does it look like Soul Assault can no longer be purged, or it's just the lag?

    I don't think you can purge a channeled spell.

    Soul Assault could be purged before yesterday (before patch 1.2.4), but today it's either buffed, as in can't be purged anymore, or I have too much lag and I can't purge it in time. I am not sure though, haven't had a chance to test it.

    it also can be "Purify-ed". Or at least could.

    Interesting. Learn something new every day, although if the changes you say are true I seem to have learnt too late.

    Welcome to PvP post 1.2.3!

    Today, during the 30 minutes I could bring myself to play, I was stealthing along... then fell over dead! There was no loss of health, there wasn't any dmg taken noise or animation... just insta-death. The screen recap pops up and I see that one enemy has hit me with light melee attacks until I died!?

    As I'm trying to figure out what had happened... the noises of my char being attacked start playing, lol, well over 30 seconds after my death...

    I figure I must have been followed by an enemy who wasn't rendered due to the low fps...

    This is now common. Today's patch was supposed to fix it. It hasn't.

    That's the way I wanna go, if my time comes. You should be thankful to Zenimax, that your char hadn't to suffer. ;)

    Subscription cancelled due to the following facts:

    - Zenimax implements more bugs from patch to patch
    - Zenimax does not care about the increasing instability of the game. People have more and more crashes Fix of memory bug decreased number of crashes considerably
    - Zenimax has still not fully fixed the fps drops they (!) implemented with patch1.2.3
    - Zenimax does nothing to fix the massive ability lags in PvP
    - Zenimax gives more attention to unnecassary 'content' like dyes for armors than fixing issues
    - In patchnotes Zenimax lies about bugs allegedly fixed
    - Zenimax has no plan as to how balance population in Cyrodiil campaigns
    - Support is ineffective and does not even speak in a way one can linguistically understand

    This was my experience last night as well. I log in. I see my group is fighting at Chalman Farm. Great. I'm running over and just magically die. I get the death recap and apparently I ran through a group of about 20 enemies which none rendered on my screen. This feels like GW2 all over again.

    Kinda hijacking this thread, but…

    While I haven't had this experience myself a couple people in the guild were having it last night. They were right there with us, confirmed in the same campaign. They could see some of the rest of the group, but most of the group was just floating chevrons for them.

    The real problem is they couldn't see any of the enemies around us. That makes it pretty hard to fight I'd say.

    Attention Zenimax: Stamina builds don't hold up to magicka builds, and this is causing most of your class imbalance. It makes melee weapons and bows weaker than staves and class abilities. It makes medium and heavy armor less desirable than light armor. Fix this imbalance, and you'll address most of your balance issues.

    never knew it could be purged or purified. Guess that explains the times it didnt do any damage when i used it (i jumped on the soul assault bandwagon). Tho, it doest matter to me right now. When i try to use it on someone at 4fps, all i do is lose mt ultimate with no effect.

    with this patch i'm simply convinced it's lag

    I'm dying instantly after battles, dying when I don't see people, moving around people I didn't see were there etc etc.

    Soul Assault is a heavy hitter for sure, especially with guild bonuses vs Vamps. That said, it can definitely be interrupted, since I used my bow kb/interrupt today. I don't know about cleanse/purify, but it is a channeled spell, so really shouldn't be cleansable anyway.

    Yes, lag is a huge issue now for many. Restarting the client seems to fix some, but it eventually builds back up.

    I am interested to know about this.
    Being a healer it never actually caused me any distress, I just healed it off.
    But I would still like to know.
