Break free and cc immunity patch note

Domander · July 2014

Immunity granted by Break Free and the immunity given to you after you’re hit by a crowd control ability now provide immunity to all types of crowd control.

Could we please get some clarification on this patch note.

For example, will using a gap closer such as shield charge in pvp make someone immune to being rooted afterwards?

One can only logically assume that yes, if you shield charge (because it stuns it is a CC), the person will be immune to all CCs for a period of time.

That depends on whether root is considered CC under the system. Even if it may seem like a no-brainer that the answer is yes, remember that break free does not break roots...

I too would like to know whether i will be immune to DK talons after he charges me

I'd also like to know if snares are included, I could see this being a change that's bad for any melee user. You could see it as an overall melee nerf, sigh, definitely not something we need. On the flip side though I guess a bow user couldn't knockback and then snare/root.. hmm... sounds annoying all around now.

Also, yeah, immobilize/snare are usually treated separate from other cc.

I would also really like to know this. Anyone on the test server tried it out yet?

Domander · July 2014

Still wondering

david.haypreub18_ESO · July 2014

Still hoping it solves the Invasion/Talons stun lock.

Fixed that for you. Its not class specific.

Kalman · July 2014

yes

Merrak · August 2014

It's as if a million Dragonknights cried out, and were suddenly silenced.

olsborg · August 2014

Also curious about them spells that puts on 2 cc's. Like restraining prison that roots, then snare....

This does not look like it has been fixed. Still possible to get unbreakable CCed by DKs in PvP

david.haypreub18_ESO · August 2014

I can't personally verify it, as I never had the Invasion/Talons stunlock on me last night (maybe I just got lucky), but several people are reporting that the bug is NOT fixed. In fact, some people are reporting that it is actually happening MORE often:

olsborg · August 2014

is it just me or does stamina drain itself faster post patch?

david.haypreub18_ESO · August 2014

I played a lot last night and only got the bug once... But I did get it. Got hit with something that made me kneel down; hit break free. Nothing happened. Checked stamina-- it was at about 80%. Tried to break free three more times... Still nothing. Three or four seconds of that and then I was dead. I am pretty sure it was not anything I could have dodge rolled out of, because I could not attack; my character was kneeling down (is there anything that would cause me to kneel down that could not be broken with Break Free?). But correct me if that assumption is flawed.

olsborg · August 2014

Nightblades quite often get me kneeled down by doing something. I cannot break free, if they are more then one it usually means I die.

david.haypreub18_ESO · August 2014

I believe it was a NB that did that to me yesterday too. In the past, it has been mostly DKs I thought. But I think all classes can do it if they have the right combinations.

heyguyslol · August 2014

I don't believe the immunity to cc after using break free is working cuz I still get cc'd right after using my break free.

ArconSeptim · August 2014

Yeah it's happening still you get ambushed by 5 drots and they jerk stuns on you and you cant get up from the ground to do anything...

olsborg · August 2014

theres definately something wierd going on With break free. Sometimes when im ambushed by a NB and I take a knee I can break free np, but very, very often I cant, even if I have full stamina, I just stand there on my knee and take a beating.

Erock25 · August 2014

I have noticed this unbreakable take a knee CC more and more from NBs.

david.haypreub18_ESO · August 2014

I'm not sure if I take a knee every time I have unbreakable CC, but it certainly is most times.

Heres a video that King Richard made about some cc exploits.

Impressively long fight and insightful. As a NB, I have a hell of a time with DK's in my stamina build. I tend to swap out my skills fairly regularly and have found that if I'm in a 1v1 DK scenario, Dark Shades and DW skill Sparks is a good combo.

Out of curiosity, what was that battle add-on? I've never seen that one before.

Alot of what you say here about DKs can also be said about templars, with blazing shield and biting jabs or whatsitcalled. Its a spamfest with less focus on actual player skill.

That's totally true. Unfortunately, though, what he says about the unbreakable root is also true.

Shaggygaming · August 2014

Unbreakable CC still not fixed. We have been reporting it for months.

olsborg · August 2014

You can also get knocked down by a shield charge by one player, and then knocked down again 1 second after you get up by another player using it, atleast twice, dunno if it can be done more then twice tho..
