Should Uppercut Range be Nerfed?
I'm wondering how many others agree with me that uppercut range should be nerfed. I get tired of being uppercutted from 10-15 feet away from the blade swing, and as a low level, it's usually the death of you because of stun time, if you're low on stamina.
I don't know how to post a poll, so just type yes or no if you agree.

✭✭✭✭✭No, it shouldn't. Great swords are going to have longer reach than daggers.
The difference is only 2 meters. Blocking will stop an uppercut, use it.PS4 / NA

This is my first nerf thread. I've been playing for two hours today and during quests NPC's keep uppercutting me from a massive range, and it's quite annoying.
Sure does not feel like it.

Then the OP is correct. 5 meters is more than 15 feet. Over 21 feet at 7 meters.0 -

I hate it too so I try to use Stone fist or any other ability that will knock them down, then just hit them fast and hard and knock 'em down again if you need to.
I apologize if I sounded like an a dub there are just wayyyyyyy too many nerf threads (In my opinion)That which we obtain to cheap we esteem to lightly, it is dearness only that gives everything its value.

Pretty sure the OP is just mistaken on unit of measurement on ESO instead of making "meter to feet" conversions on the fly during gameplay. Occam's Razor and all.0 -

So a regular block should stop it? I thought you had to dodge it with stamina, which is extremely costly at low levels.

Actually here in the US I use feet. And in this situation I happened to be correct, but you are right, I did my measurement on the fly.Edited by Der_Deutsche_Hase on January 28, 2015 2:34PM0 -
Celless✭✭✭Hi OP,
You will have to use block to defend against Uppercut or time your dodge. If an enemy is already performing the wind-up animation, you most likely cannot out run it.
When you see the yellow-bright charging lines coming from an enemy, you can block that attack to disorient the enemy. When the enemy is disoriented with the purple spinning halo, a heavy attack will knock the enemy down and allow you to turn the tide of some of these earlier battles.0 -

Thanks for the help. I'll try this out. I thought being it a sword and all you could just run out of sword range, but it seems I'm was wrong. Still though, I think it should be nerfed in terms of range.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭The unit conversions aren't avcurate. The game calls it 7 meters, but it obviously isn't 21 feet. 21 feet would roughly be the equivalent of the height of 3-4 player characters laying head to foot, and it isn't that far when you're using the attack.
Bows have a range of 28 meters as far as the game is concerned, but the visual distance is more like 50 feet.PS4 / NA

No, you guessed at a distance (since ESO distances do not correlate with real world lengths - not really) and it happened to fit within a real world conversion (which didn't apply to ESO).
So are you saying you can recognize that the arch of a sword on your character makes sense to be 5 meters or 15 (!) feet, and not that you were just picking a wildly long distance and used a unit of measurement that you were used to.Edited by BBSooner on January 28, 2015 2:39PM0 -

So.. You started the game, you don't know the basic mechanic and you think you can determine what deserves to be nerfed.Der_Deutsche_Hase wrote: »Hi OP,

No it shouldn't. Evade or block it.1 -

I wonder why people say the same thing that 10 others have said.
Also the thing with blocking it at a low level is it takes 50% of your health, if wearing light armor probably 75%.
But yes, thanks for the blocking tip guys. 0
