Magicka Dragonknight - Inferno/Chains
Yonkit
✭✭✭✭✭
Right, straight to the point again, both of these abilities, suck. I suggest changing them and I already have a general idea on how to change them into something that's worth a slot on our bars.
Inferno - Wreathe yourself in flames dealing damage to all enemies around you, the longer they stand in the flames the more damage they take up to 200%. Base cost is 2.8k, lasts 30s, has radius of 8m, deals 360ish damage at base value. Scales up to 200% of this, so 720 at base value after a certain amount of time of someone standing in it, I'd say 4-5s is good, obviously spell damage and magicka will increase this damage. But by no means should it exceed the ability to do more than 2k dmg a second, then it just becomes too overpowered. Also make this ability grant Major Sorcery/Major Brutality, so DKs aren't stuck with using Entropy or Rally.
Conflagration - Enemies in the radius are snared by 30%, deals increased damage. (Around say, 500ish base value.)
Sea of Flames - Restore 25% of ability cost when enemy is killed inside the ability.
This goes back to basically what Inferno started as only overhauling it to be better, why did I choose to make it a cast ability and not a toggle? Because everyone hates toggles, plain and simple, the idea is also simple, DKs are a melee class, this makes it dangerous to stand next to one for too long a period of time, one morph helps you keep people closer so you don't have to keep expending resources to gap close to them, the other morph gives you more resource management which DKs currently need due to the removal of dynamic ult gen way back.
Now onto the topic of Chains... The signature "Get Over Here" ability, that sucks, this ability doesn't work half the time and the times it does work your enemy is granted free CC immunity, which is just blatantly stupid. I suggest to completely overhaul this ability, completely.
Fire Torrent - Encase yourself in flames and flash to your enemy, knocking them down and stunning them for 2s. Deals 2k fire damage at base value, same cost as chains. Same range as every other charge/teleport, 24m. (Think of it as bolt escape for Dks, but it's fire instead of lightning, and requires a target. It would fall under a teleport ability and and not a charge.)
Burning Clutch - Ability now ALWAYS brings the enemy to you, and disorients them. Same range as extended chains. 28m DOES NOT GIVE CC IMMUNITY UNLESS IT IS BROKEN. Because it's a disorient, now you wont be handing out free CC immunity to NPCs and players alike. (Can basically use the animation Valkyn Skoria does when he fossilizes people, but they're also dragged across the ground to you when it happens.
Flash Fire - (Don't really know what to make of this morph, the empower morph on chains was just stupid, maybe a longer stun, or applies a high damage DoT to the target, maybe give Dks a 10m fire version of bolt escape so they have mobility without going vampire, of course if this was the change then you'd need to throw on the bolt escape nerf as well and it's kind of stupid, but I'm sleepy so someone else can come up with a 2nd morph of this.)
So this gives Dks their much needed gap closer for PvP, as well as not ruining the ability for Pvers, and the actual PULL morph of this ability no longer hands out free CC immunity like candy, hopefully this will give people and ZoS some ideas on how to change Inferno/Chains for the better, cause as it stands both abilities are garbage on Live and PTS, Inferno was much more fun when it was a toggle, I hated toggles, but i actually used it because it looked cool, did decent damage, and had utility, currently inferno is just a trash toggle ability that no one will use because Magelight gives the same buff and 5% more magicka or the ability to reveal stealthed and reduce damage taken from stealthed players which is by far better than both of the crappy morphs of Inferno.
Quick Edit: The change to Inferno would make it like Lava, the longer YOU stand in it the more damage YOU take, not the longer it's active the more damage it does, it's entirely based on how long you yourself stand in it.

This replacement of fiery grip would be amazing. Unbelievably awesome!! Unfortunately because it came from a player it can never happen...as MMO tradition goes.
I like the inferno idea as ash cloud is entirely useless in pvp right now, we need something that follows with us instead of high cost skills that are evacuated as soon as they are cast.
I'd still like to get reimbursed for the huge 20% dodge loss we took on the last update. Maybe give it to volatile armor at 10%, or make it return a % of damage instead of flat damage.Edited by Armitas on August 17, 2015 7:46PMRetired.

welcome to Liquid lightning and wall of elements. Two completely useless skills in pvp as the damage is so freaking laughable and even if you stand in it it is not a threat. All you have to do is side step either or dodge roll either and boom no more threat if a threat even existed0 -

A dot which isn't completely negated by damage shields!? Oh man, this would be great! I personally think DK would be okay with dots simply being able to apply to damage shields, I always thought gameplay was about resource utilising, but damage shields granting damage-over-time immunity?
So many odd design-choices which lead to classes being nerfed instead of individual abilities and complete damage immunity on some abilities being tweaked, it's odd.
Your post is awesome. With something like this and dots being able to always do damage over time, I think DK would actually be more like a Dragonknight."Serving Boethiah is Freedom, embracing heroism is Liberty, existing solely for noxiphilic sanguivoria is truth." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

This morph should remain a teleport gap closer and grant empower.

Inferno I never bothered with, so that skill really needs a improvment.

✭✭I agree 100% these abilities sound amazing but I'd like the Inferno morph (Flames of oblivion) to be just like it was post patch. It was a 360 damage dealer AoE and it drained magicka at a consistent rate.
It would be amazing to have these abilities since DKs need some DPS abilities mainly because all of them have been nerf'd (at-least the good ones).不動の Steadfast - Unwavering

No matter what "fix" you put behind them, they aren't going to work the way you want because of the z-axis not being really used in the game's logic too much.

✭✭✭✭✭Awesome! Now do Templar!
On topic, I think your Inferno suggestion is too strong though. On paper it looks identical to Nova, but lasts 30 seconds and gives 20% weap/sp damage, and snares? I can't see any DK not running this, probably on both bars, lol.
For your Chains idea, I would say the basic pull is good, one morph could be pulls enemy to you instead (and I am sorry, this HAS to give immunity since having your position changed is just as bad if not worse than being stunned), and the other one can still teleport you to your enemy but deals AoE fire burst instead of single target.0 -

✭You can pull people from their spawns in IC with the chains now so i assume it works similarly on keep walls again, which is good. What isnt is that its still very buggy.

Chains is like the sister skill to Templar Eclipse. Both work strangely when your enemy has immunity and are essentially useless in these cases.
Funny enough Templars are about to have Eclipse nerfed to death come 1.7. A skill that so few already used will now be used by no one at all.0 -

I don't play a Templar enough to really know where to start with them, sorry
And yea, just general suggestions to change the skills to be useful, what I say doesn't need to actually be identical to how they change it, they just need to change it, whether it be like I suggested, or something else that actually works, Inferno and Chains are both trash skills and need to be looked at, same could be said for Eclipse, Dark Flare, and Javelin for Templars, (I mean aside from Stamplars, does anyone actually use Javelin lol?)Has an Alter Ego in the form of a very large quadrupedal black & white Bear.0 -
trimsic_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Your proposition for inferno is overpowered. The impact on melee classes would be too important
Maybe, there is something to test around the concept of vampiric spells for the DK, both in magicka and stamina builds. The DKs would hit their enemies, dealing damage and healing themselves. The same concept as for Inhale, but in a more generalized and more effective form. That would be the core mechanism by which DKs would be able to tank.Edited by trimsic_ESO on August 24, 2015 10:15PM0 -

Hybrids generally just don't work... Sure you can do it, but someone who's hard spec'd into spell or weapon will most likely tear you apart, as a Hybrid you do less damage overall, less healing overall, the only thing you have going for you is more sustain, if built correctly, and sustain only gets you so far.
Hybrid tanks however, work great.Has an Alter Ego in the form of a very large quadrupedal black & white Bear.0
