new sorc Bug?

✭Dude it was an 8.2 second fight. According to your math the sorc only had time to spawn two pets yet the death spam shows I was hit 5 times. so..one pet exploding twice x2 = 4 hits from their familiar.(if it bugged both times).
They opened with shards which knocked me down cause we were both in hide and they saw me first. How long does shards take? Subtract that from the 8.2 seconds. Now..how much time does the sorc have left to spawn 3(this is how many I was hit with if the first two hit me twice) pets again at 3 seconds per pet?(according to you). Right 9 seconds roughly.
It's not adding up.
No AP is "easy" if its obtained honestly.But thanx for the tip. Ive had other sorcs beat me using different rotations. This isn't about my pride being bruised by being bested by a sorc.
You acknowledge there is a bug with pets hitting twice. Is it that far from reason to request that sorcs don't spam their pets hoping for the bug? I certainly don't run around spamming invasion and talon repeatedly on a single target hoping I eventually bug them out.2 -

It's hard to tell all sorcs not to use pets when almost all DKs use talons/scales. I am sorry you are one of the few who don't, but you are in the vast minority.
Though trust me when I tell you, spam talons and whip while moving behind the sorc and you will never see that death recap again.Edited by Vis on July 14, 2014 4:52AMv14 Sorc Vae Exillis

Halrloprillalar✭✭✭✭✭Multi-explode thing is most likely a bug, but it's hardly OP. DKs have no right to complain about sorcs."nerf rock, paper is fine" - scissors

Thanks for the heads-up!
And on another note, le sigh at people defending obvious bugs as "balance".-First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

Good! just please don't somehow break the ability like you did when you "fixed" endless fury.

✭✭✭actually, I THINK there is a bug where it explodes twice. could be wrong though. so that sorc may have actually only summoned 4, but because they MAY be exploding twice, you have your bug1 -
jeradlub17_ESO✭✭✭
So you'll fix the sorc bug but not the gabillionth DK exploit bug with claws/whips/bats/shield knockdowns/etc ? DKs have had exploit bugs since pre-beta still not fixed but everyone else's gets fixed right away except for the bow venom arrow dot proc issue they still won't acknowledge, why is that?ZOS_TristanK wrote: »Hey, all.

✭Im sure that you must realize the bugs with talons and shield are a bug with all knockdowns and stuns/roots.(therefore it would be a major fix for all skills doing this.) However a pet asploding twice is prolly a little easier to fix I would think.0 -
Shaggygaming✭✭✭@ZOS_TristanK What about the stun/CC unbreakable combo? Can you all get a fix for that? It is super annoying to solo because every DK in PVP is using it.0 -

Not considering double hit bugs or magicka usage...
but that statement is just silly... so a spell that does damage is something to be looked at?!
FYI.. you need 2 skill uses, one to summon and one to explode the pet.. if you do 2 impulses/pulsars you'll be doing more than 400 damage, so that should also be looked at?! (or any of the other AOE / damage skills)

✭Its stupid. Today seems every sorc is using this bug to its extreme before ZoS fixes it. Pathetic..Volatile Familiar! Volatile Familiar! Volatile Familiar!1 -
demonlkojipub19_ESO✭✭✭✭✭An AAA mmo would have had beneficial bugs that are easily exploited fixed priority 1 quick fast and in a hurry. Along with that, they probably would have disabled the ability to use the ability in a hotfix until they fix it, or fix it with that hotfix. "Sorry for the inconvenience" is all thats needed, shut it off.
I wonder when they are going to pick up the pace....Edited by demonlkojipub19_ESO on July 15, 2014 7:54PM0 -

I'm not saying the secondary explosion (not double, the numbers differ, check it) is not a bug. There is obviously some kind of error in the code here. Crying about how it's the most broken thing in the game currently is a bit silly though."nerf rock, paper is fine" - scissors

✭Sorcs have a bugged skill that is very situational, costs a ton, and is easily avoided...and zos is right on it.
DKs have an op skill (scales reflecting all real dps), it's cheap, receives far more complaints, and is hard to do counter... and zos does nothing.
Slow clap @ZOS_TristanK. Great job at communicating with the devs on our behalf mate (not).Edited by Vis on July 16, 2014 2:24PMv14 Sorc Vae Exillis

✭Scales is very noticeable by these HUGE dragon wings and then a bright orange bubble surrounding the DK afterwards. Might as well have the DK wearing a neon sign that blinks "Do Not Fire" "Do Not Fire". As a sword and board sorc you have a comparable skill with defensive posture.;)1
