Backlash & Power of the Light

Good day ZOS and community members,

Power of the Light has several problems. I've brought this up before, but with the recent change, I feel it's time again.

First: This ability cannot critical when "full". It simply does not do more damage than the tooltip states EVER. This severely dampens this ability's DPS potential severely.

Please make this ability critical properly (I.E. It goes over tooltip damage when it crits)

Second: Power of the Light does not increase Spell Power (which, as written, it SHOULD). I do not know whether or not this is a design decision with a tooltip error, or a programming error. Either way, the description is incorrect.

Please make this ability clear, I'd prefer it to buff spell AND weapon damage, but so long as it's clear.

Third: Stacking issues. This change makes the ability very cumbersome to use. Due to the long casting time and duration of the skill, it's very hard to use with this change. It's very easy to accidentally overwrite the skill and lose your built up damage pool.

Please make it so that it works like Sun/Blazing Shield and explodes when it is full, or explodes when recast so it's never wasted.

Thank you kindly for your time,

    The description from that ability might be a bit wonky, because Power of the Lights says it increase power, it doesn't specify what kind of power. But, when you morph the skill it does clearly state it increases Weapon Power and nothing else.

    I agree, potentially awesome skill with a tiny tweak here or there but at its current state it's just not quite good enough to use regularly.

    Yes, make it so more than one Templar can use it too, or did they do that? Where one player casts Power Of the Light and another uses Power as well. Will one override the other or will they both work?

    If they don't work, fix it so they don't override each other.

    Also make it Instant Cast FFS, not that hard, not rocket science. No reason this is a casted skill.

    Other then that I am in full support of it auto exploding once it reaches it's limit.
    Bobbity Boop, this game might become poop, but I'll still play because I'm just a pile of goop!
