could handle once in a blue moon - unfortunately a number of the individuals who 'caught' this bug were more than content to play with it one-shotting players for 8 hours straight

several players i know went to PvE for the day - had to laugh when one said that going and starting on fishing achievements would be more fun that continuously dying to the NB who would stealth off after his one shot kill and you didn't know what direction it came from

and one player quit the game entirely saying it was just one of many things, but that it was the last straw

I got one lethal arrow to hit for 3700 dmage and I reported it immediately. there is no way those are accidental. i use my bow 95% of the time and 1 out of 10k+ shots has been 3700 damage. I hope those clowns got their accounts wiped.

At 2500Magicka and 90Spell damage

Crystal Frag - 620damage
Molten Whip - 434 damage (90spell power plus 10 intrinsic)
Surprise Attack - 445 damage

I have reflected crit shards for 1.2k with +20% reflect damage but never 1.4k. Does anyone have any explanation for how Molten Whip is hitting for 1.4k? Testing on eso head it takes 370 spell power to reach the 950damage to proc a 1.4k hit.

Has anyone been hit for 1.4k after this last patch that fixed a bug with damage stacking? I am thinking this is a bug because the block whippers I run into can't even keep up with my healing. If this is legit then a nerf needs to be made somewhere because a DK being able to spam Molten Whip for 1.4k is broken.

Doesn't molten whip get the stealth damage bonus?

I have never tried to hit it from stealth, but if that were the source it wouldn't explain how it could be "spammed". But then again "spammed" is often hyperbole.

Tintinabula · August 2014

uhm after you hit from stealth the first time..you're no longer stealthed..so..sure ,"spam" flame lash all you want but how anyone is getting a steady crit for 1.4k is beyond me.

whsprwind · August 2014

2500 Magicka + 130Spell Damage + Resto Staff maybe? That and +Crit Damage Mundus stone?

Just speculating

I don't know what you are smoking but i havent been hit by a crystal fragment for more than 1k. The most i had been hit by frag is probably 900 + (Kinda rare). Lethal arrow had hit me for 1.4k - 6k before (On average 1.2k - 2.5k per hit). To be honest , i think bow need a buff and camo hunter need a buff too.

this is a joke, right?

good bow user with camo hunter is 1 shotting most vamps already why would you beef this skill?

Tintinabula · September 2014

I crit someone today for the first time from hide for 1270 flamelash..first crit ever that high.

belugian · September 2014

i once landed a 1600 or 1700 crystal fragment after a debuff and a +10 % from mage guild i believe. was weird. happened only once tho.

I got hit for about 8.4k awhile back, and the guy who did it apparently was having problems with his attacks hitting progressively higher and higher. Death or logging off/on wasn't fixing it either.

CS told him to just not play, which he ended up doing (made me feel sad, that is not an acceptable solution.) But he got it fixed the next day iirc. I think it's a bug that some individuals are experiencing, but not many.

CS advised him to not play?!?! WTH is wrong with this company?!
