"Burning - 2932 Damage" one hit death exploit
-
Aeradon✭✭✭✭✭Meh, it's just a DOT.
Try playing against AD empress in Wabba. Standard of Might hits for 3.8k, the banner she has comes down every 2 seconds. Having 3 banners in my recap is common.People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.
There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.
Help make this compilation complete!

Avidus✭✭✭Well, the only way to tell what causes this, is to recreate it.
I would suggest trying to stack things such as 'increases enchantment effect' or 'increases crit'
Basically experimenting with the stacking of certain effects, potentially in a certain order might cause it to add the equation incorrectly.
Another question is;
Is this person on an alliance that has the following buffs - All alliance home keeps, scroll bonuses and emperorship bonus?
If so its plausible that its an error in coding causing effects to add incorrectly.0 -
ZoM_Head✭✭✭✭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!
No, it is accurate, but there is so much lag and latency issues with this game, the enemey sometimes does not even animate and death recap shows 5+ hits.
PVP i get this all the time, a player just looks at me and i take dmg once or twice and go down, recap shows 6 hits or so....
That or the recap is really messed up as you say.

It's an exploit on a fire damage bug, it should be fixed soon it was on the "to fix" list of ZOS.

Affrayer✭✭✭This isn't the first instance of a player exploiting to boost their damage output. A little while ago a templar on the EP side went around consistently 1 shotting people with a 6.6k stampede cast. You can find the thread here:
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/104900/what-the-hell-was-that/p1
Whether the exploit exists in the game itself or a third party program is used, people will always find a way to cheat.
Hopefully someone from zos looks into this.Pffffff0 -
camaan✭I got hit by 16000 damage and didn't die followed by a 1160 Impale that killed me.

This doesnt work, when you enchant with (fire) you can not enchant with another (fire) the only option that comes up is one of a different type (frost etc..) I tested this on my v12 dk.

My CLS was not different. Should have screened that too. I will next time - hopefully no next time though.0

Nice that is on Wabba, that was me that made the tictacs comment to someone earlier talking about using Tactics

freidaSoul ShrivenI just ran into this DC sorc. He killed me twice with "Burning" and a guildie of mine once.
All 3 occasions, this "Burning" did over 2.9k instant damage. I will be on the lookout for him from now onwards.
If you run into him report his cheating ass.1 -

And you instantly assume the third-party addon is right and the first-party death recap is wrong?Death recap showing [snip]

MoeCoastie✭✭✭I reported this and sent a screenshot to accompany my bug report. This was done a little over a week ago

Zero_Tolerance✭✭✭It's some *** that allows to accumulate DoT damage in one hit. I've been killed in under 1s with 1k+ bat swarm hits, caltrops hits etc1

Zero_Tolerance✭✭✭Game made by ***, that's all there is to it. Killed in 2 hits of caltrops, 2.4k and 1.2k GG0

demonlkojipub19_ESO✭✭✭✭✭If it were me I wouldnt have blanked out the name.
So apparently it can be done with any skill. So now its blatantly a hack.0 -
Zero_Tolerance✭✭✭I erased the name 'cos it's against forum rules to show it. Also, the guy in question claims that he does not know why it happens, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Personally, I don't give a *** about campaign or anything, I only started to PvP in ESO, so I have no loyalties or any special drama attached. But I do have years of PvP in various MMOs and this *** is completely wrong.
And yes, I also got hit for over 2k with Clouding Swarm, in 1 hit. Not standing there and taking multiple hits.0 -
bugulu✭✭✭If he keeps using Caltrops despite it one shotting anyone, then that's his own fault.
I hope Zenimax starts to actually deal with people exploiting mechanics over and over again.1 -

First time I got hit for a 1 shot 3200 "Burning" second time, I watched the staff attack come right at me, normal destro flame attack, then bam, dropped my ass in 1 shot...
For *** sake fix your *** ZOS - Since you wont ban him, I am calling him out

freidaSoul ShrivenSame guy hit me as well. One shot kill. 2nd time I've run into him. If it's a bug, he obviously knows how to replicate it. This thread has been going for 2 weeks. He's not even discreet about abusing this bug. A lot of people on AD wabba know about this DC sorc.
So my question is..... why is he not banned yet?2 -
Papa_Hunt✭✭✭This needs to be fixed...happened to me as well...see pic.

✭✭✭✭You should get a damage meter with a log so that you can look through the log and see whether you were hit once or a bunch of times.
Im tired of the political correctness of forums. Is this person's name listed somewhere on another site or anywhere? I'd like to know who it is so I can avoid them.Edited by timidobserver on July 18, 2014 9:36PMV16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

I literally saw a normal attack destro fire staff ball come at my face, once, hit me, and dropped me for 3200... he is exploiting and ZOS will not stop him, he has been at it for almost a month now...
I keep calling him out because ZOS does not do *** to ban him... then they keep editing my posts removing his name. I post his name so everyone knows to run and not give free 1 shot kills to this tool in NA Wabba!
I have reported him in-game, and nothing is done, he still exists.
