I really appreciate what you're trying to do here, however be a bit careful in case this player is innocent. That last video you have listed here you use an attack that is an execute a lot on a near full health player, which won't do that much damage unless they are very close to death anyway. Second, because you're using magic exclusively it may be that they simply have buff skills plus have capped spell resist.

I think you need to report this directly to zos instead of posting these on the forums, simply for the fact that you have now tarnished a player before this has been investigated fully.

I appreciate your concern but you speak to me as if I don't understand how to pvp as a sorcerer and the typical builds and mechanics most sorcs use. If you watched a little more closely my combo would have destroyed just about any player except maybe a templar.

I hit him with the following combo starting at 0:46 in the video.

Streak 300-350 dmg
Velicous Curse 400-700 dmg
Crystal Frag 500-900 dmg
Volitial Familair summoned
Velicous Curse 400-700 dmg
Mages Wrath 200 dmg used to proc Crystal Frag in case your wondering
Volitial Familair detonated 300-350 dmg
Crystal Frag 500-900 dmg
Velicous Curse 400-700 dmg
Crystal Frag 500-900 dmg

Then he used Bolt Escape/Streak to get away but was at full health. At no time during my combo did he cast any new shields because I kept him cc'd.

Now lets add up the possible damage.

On the absolute lowest amount of damage I dealt to him was:
3500


On the absolute highest amount of damage I dealt to him was:
5700

Keep in mind that even at the high end those numbers are not crits averages those are my high average hits as most players run impenetrable anyways to prevent crits. And in case your wondering how I got those numbers is because I run two addon's that provide me my combat info, one of those addons called CombatAnalytics allows me to export combat logs to a text file. This allows me to see what kind of dmg I'm dealing and how to better coordinate my combo's.

[...]'s health was 2497 btw.

Now try again to justify how he is at full health with those combo's even if he had hardward, heal ward, and harness magicka all stacked. There is no way he would have walked away at full health believe me I know what the limits are when running those abilities as I use them myself.

So apparently I'm not the only one to see what this guy is doing. This is the same player that is in my video. And yes I sent my video to Zos.

Yay for naming and shaming threads. When will you people learn that you can't post these on the forum and the forum mods can't do anything about it? report the player in game, open a ticket and provide the video evidence if you must but keep it off the boards.

Naming the offending player is what gets threads locked as it's against TOS. Discussing exploits MAY also be against TOS, primarily because of the potential to TEACHING how to exploit to others. I hope they fix this exploit if that's indeed what is happening and ban hammer the sweet bejesus out of anyone using it. Good luck on getting some official resolution on this!

Naming the player is not exactly my goal here its to demonstrate that there is a serious exploit being used here and zos needs to get on asap. Naming the player in three different videos by three different players just reconfirms that the exploit is real.

I don't know this person and have nothing against him/her personally and I'm not here trolling that player as imo would be a grounds to lock a thread. Furthermore this video does not teach anyone how to recreate the exploit to use it themselves but it will inform players about it so they know why players like this aren't taking dmg or dying when they should.

When naive players are faced by exploiters like this it discourages them from wanting to play which in turn results on a canceled sub and thats less money in zos' wallet and less funding to further improve the game.
