    The fact it even made it to live in the same state it was in on the first day of PTS is absolutely hilarious and sad.

    Don't worry, it's just all the DKs QQing because they are used to trumping all ranged attacks by spamming Scales.

    um it's a channel, and a lot of the Templars I play with agree that it's a bit too much

    Outside of radiant destrction; what are templars using for actual ranged DPS? Vampires bane still seems to heavily reliant on a DOT. Blazing spear is a free CC immunity once and does not hit all that hard when someone can just move out of it. is it just spam dark flare?

    They have a fix already for the next patch. QQ enough and it might get hotfixed.

    I'm pretty sure if I was crying I would make posts like Goldie on reflective scales lol

    Can't purge it can't roll dodge apparently can't cloak

    It's more asking for common sense from the devs than QQing

    Saying reflective scale is an ultimate but literally giving a soul assault to Templars and making fear so your unable to block for 5 seconds just doesn't make sense

    But you can laugh with the other kids

    Let the big boys talk about these things

    Thank you for your contribution to the thread btw huge huge motivation to all ESO players

    Gfy

    the funniest thing is a templar who runs soul assault as their ULTI lololololololololol

    ITS THE SAME *****ING THING!!!!

    or you know its going to be a bad time when you come across three players and one of their opening moves is RD lol

    im writing down names of all the players who use this skill

    for when it gets nerfed

    they will be tbaged THOROUGHLY

    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

    bet they wont even fix it till 1.7 man. it was the same with dark flare debuff, people abused the hell out of it and it still never got fixed.

    I have almost no confidence in ZoS ever since the removal of deer lol

    I'm pretty sure your correct tho

    DPS? Nothing.

    RD is the one and only truly strong DPS ability Templar's have, and the only thing that is giving them competitive DPS (excepting Stamina cookie cutters)

    If they nerf RD, they had better bump up the DPS on some other Templar skills, otherwise magicka Templar's will once again be at the absolute bottom of the DPS chain for another year.

    I love the irony of all the DK's here crying for a nerf....

    You guys have had it way too good for way too long and now that you seem to be dying more regularly than before, you all cry for nerfs.

    I dueled quite a few Templars in PTS who had Radiant Destruction slotted (I can't get on live for another 24 hours as I'm banned :D ) and can say that the damage is easily avoided 1v1, but I can imagine that it's a bit more insane in open world.

    I guess my DK opinion will be held off until I can get in there and see.

    However, I'm all about balance, and if many players, including Templars themsevles, are saying that this new skill is a bit much, then something needs to be done about it. It's a new skill, we all expected it to be OP for some time and then adjusted accordingly.

    I'm glad I am not the only one not finding it. Kind of expected to heal when you're a templar so have been looking to try to make magicka work; but damn! Not like I am overly fond of RD, either. Hate channeling or casting in PvP.

    RD is only a problem when it's used with synergies that turn it from an 8K hit to a 25K hit, and your at low health rendering it a true execute, 1v1 it's not a problem. It's only deadly when there is a group and you can't see it coming.

    Truth be told, I loathed RD when the PTS went live with 1.6 as I was getting tagged by three OPlars using RD with other RD boosters (not going to go into detail as to what they are, but do a forum search and you'll find them) but I found RD was terra bad then as I had no idea how to counter and it was a shock to the system. I did post something about RD on the forums as I was dumbfounded from this new skill, I think the post was 'So, how bout that Radiant Destruction' and from there the same things were covered that has been covered here in this thread. If I'm honest, my tears were a little salty.

    One time at band camp on PTS when getting hit with RD I ran inside sej, only to find myself still getting hit by RD through doors and walls, so at that point I was ready to welcome my new overlords, the Templar. But, after a while, I got used to it and learned to adjust and counter. Just like so many of us got used to snipe, or reflective or impulse or <insert challenging and powerful skill here>

    RD shouldn't shoot through walls and doors, this will all know. But it's not as bad as the forums will make it out to be.

    The only time I died from it last night was when I was run over by a group which was bad positioning on my part. Death Recap went like this: Meteor>Meteor> Radiant Destruction>Camo Hunter and Snipe. It was three people all ranged and RD was only 8K.

    I didn't blame RD for my death, I blamed bad situational awareness on my part by being run over by a train.

    Please Rylana,

    I'm a Sorcerer, I don't know if there's much else of my skills left to nerf...

    Maybe I SHOULD re-roll Templar...

    The thing is, in execute range radiant destruction radiant is a free soul assault, enjoying all the benefits of a channel - can't be dodged.

    Even in my support build last night I was getting many, many KBs while testing it out on TB. This does not make sense to me, I should not be able to buff and heal others while also having an "I win" button. I would not know where to begin with balancing the skill though, i'll leave that to the professionals. This coming from a Templar main since the beginning, so no "DK CRY NERF" here :wink:

    Yeah, 3 ticks from an execute really hurts.

    The funniest part of your post is you posted an even worse skill in terms of being OP/buggy and you don't realize it.

    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.

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

    Yes, we're all using dark cloak, and no it does *not* remove it... -.-"
    I'm back!
