    omg people cry about everything. The move is not that bad. People see numbers and cry. That move is on the same level as other moves like it. I hit for 20k on my spam 300% damage move when targets are low. A spam move which can be used at a lower mana cost.

    The move really only hits for 1400-2000 over a few seconds. The dps is good, but nothing to cry about.

    I have 25k for the person that can hit harder with their RD than I can with my Killers Blade(Impale) on my NB.

    It's channeled for 3 seconds. That's 5 Killers Blade(Impale) with animation cancelling. 50k+ in that same amount of time.

    Its early, but if I remember correctly im almost positive I used Purge and was able to counter it like Soul Assault unless i have the two mixed up, their both death beams hard to keep the two straight.

    If somebody had time this morning test it. There were a lot of death beams being fired from the upper level of Bleakers last night by EP, i remember saving quite a few DC pugs by Casting Efficent Purge on them while they had the white death beam on them and it canceled the effect. So it could be possible that Purge is a counter. Im not home right now, so i cna't test it.

    If Purge does indeed cancel RD like it does SA then I just rendered the skill useless as everyone in their brother will now simply run Efficent Purge/Cleanse on 1 of their bars and simply cancel the spell when cast on them if they have no where to LOS or interrupt it.

    at least you can dodge the other execute moves. You cannot dodge RD, you cannot break the beam with cloak and blocking it only waste more of your time because you will die anyways.

    Soul assault vs RD

    Blocking soul assault is fine, it last like 3 sec or somethinglike that. Dodgindg it, im not sure but you can break it with cloak and it an ultimate

    RD, useless to block, not dodgeable, cant break it with cloak and its a class skill.

    Class skill stronger than an ultimate on a class with one of the best survivability is OP.



    On top of that imagine 2 unskilled players dying vs me in a 1v2 calling a templar healing using RD so i fight 1v3.

    The templar press the auto win key while the 2 others struggle to dps me. +/-32k damage from RD in 3 or 4 sec.


    But hey!, RD is fine right? ...not

    I got melted twice by it and I course my 1st thought was "OH NOES...OP". But, I just need to adjust to counter the skill before I worry about it possibly being OP.
    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    I just want cloak to work on it. I hate that I have to find a templar in a 6 man group and bash when I'm solo. That skill pulls a nb out of cloak and cannot be stopped unless that target is bashed! A templar with a damage point shield up becomes immune to interrupting skills.

    Does it actually hit for anything close to 20k? How much health is everyone else finding they have? Outside of Cyro, I'm at 15k unbuffed and am now disappointed I didn't look to see where it was at in Cyro.

    Are you using Dark cloak? Because, that should work and stop it just like it does SA.

    Don't try to argue the math ^, you guys are way too nerf-happy. People are only using it so much right now because it's a brand new skill. It's merely an execute that doesn't even do as much damage as others because it cannot be weaved.

    Impale is bashable range. Impale has dmg boost to targets under 20% health not 50%. Impale also doesn't get significantly more strong when you have more magic.

    From stealth maybe you are getting 2 impales off on me, but you sure as hell aren't getting 5 before I do something about it.

    LOL
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    LOL "Impale is bashable range" ... you're telling me you can do 15m bashes?
    It does 300% damage under 30%

    Also, any Nightblade doing impale from stealth to someone over 25% health is a fool and deserves to die accordingly.

    I regret even obtaining the gear for my pve Templar magicka setup. I can already tell that this will be another, average at best in pve, ability that gets trashed into worthlessness over pvp. You can block cast every other execute in the game and none of them can be interrupted. That sets them all above this one.
