After today's supposed changes to talons:
Shadow Cloak: Fixed an issue where you were not being hit by some area of effect abilities while Shadow Cloak was active. The following abilities will now correctly damage a Shadow Cloaked target:
Dark Talons
Talons is now blockable.

If you hold block, talons CC does not apply at all, you take the initial dmg (reduced by block), dot can be blocked resulting in 0 dmg - but if block is lowered in the 4 sec talons is SUPPOSED to be there, the dot starts ticking.

    DoT still applies when block is dropped but damage is significantly reduced. Talons is completely broken.

    Both. DoT dmg has much smaller ticks.

    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.

    And now even if it is a bug we have to wait at least a week for it to be fixed because they only hotfix important stuff, like exp grinds.

    Yay...so even more DK's will be spamming Wrecking Blow + Petrify on me, now that Talons is kaput.

    Will be a full week of fun for everyone, because we all know how only grind spots gets a hotfix.

    Agreed, clearly the intent was to delete talons from the game but someone made a coding error and it's still there.

    Can we please just remove Dragonknight and reimburse people who have a Dragonknight character X amount of Crowns?

    We can then make posts over at Tamriel Foundry about how disappointed we are with the creative vision behind this game which continues to hinder player enjoyment and long-term player retention through anti-player friendly poor quality of life changes.

    They just nerfed one of the DK's defining skills. They've been nerfing it over and over since release, it shouldn't be a surprise.

    My question is this: You could always roll dodge out of talons, why did they have to make it blockable?

    Am I in a time warp?

    Last time I heard "OMG talons OP" was about a year ago when light armor DKs could do Invasion>Talons>Whip Whip Whip aka the Stunlock of death.

    So are all roots blockable now or are we playing the "lets all make random inconsistent balance changes so everyone's head explodes" game?

    This is a huge balance change. Why does it appear to be added so casually?
