    Dodging WB isn't really a long term plan. If I used WB I would hope you dodge the first ones, that way you won't be breaking free when it finally lands.

    Fix cc and WB doesn't seem like an insane skill. If you get hit with one it may lead to what reminded me of invasion/talon/whip all in one. First WB connects then before you get up the second registers and well down the rabbit hole. You're effectively locked. That isn't a designed function of this skill to my knowledge.

    Totally understand the frustration of stams dks, have 6 dks both mag and stam (now joined the temp healer ranks and having a blast :)) but please, please, recongize why this skill is broken right now is, to me, wholly centered around CC.

    On a sidenote my memory is kinda telling me someone in this thread said you can't animation cancel WB, you can, try using unstable flame (which is a monster of a dot, still I think the strongest in the game). I've been getting down timing in PvE since we dont have target dummies and it pratically looks like the WB and unstable flame land at the same time its wild.

    @jcasini222ub17_ESO this I whole heartedly agree with. You shouldn't be able to cc lock someone with wrecking blow. THAT needs to be fixed.

    80% of sorcs bolt through me when I use wb. Nightblade cloak and never get hit. Templars just stand there and out heal my damage somehow. Dodge rolling is just one of the many solutions to WB..

    Once again I'm curious how many people who want wb nerfs actually have a stamina class maxed at v16 and have tried to spam wrecking blow on other players.

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong with how I spam WB...

    It's not just wrecking blow though, I have been and can perma lock someone with puncturing sweeps. It's a general glitch to all cc's that will be fixed at some point, unfortunately latency and other issues mean it's not that easy to code out.

    True, but it helps to get a counter through.

    Anyways, perceptions seem to differ on the dodgeability of cast time skills, indicating that either latency has a way too large impact on dodge mechanics (I seldom play with less than 100 latency nowadays) or that the mechanics are very dodgy (pun intended).

    U my friend are absolutely right. Which is why once again I'm wondering why there is so much QQ about wb.

    Yes if someone is playing with a decent amount of lag wb seems almost instant. Happened to me countless times. It's nothing wrong with the skill itself. And cc mechanics are a little wonky at the moment.

    Indeed if anyone reading this thread is on consoles pray the CC quirks that have arisen on PC don't make it through to you guys. It does happen with other skills, and like I said not always, it just happens to be so apparent on WB because of how the skill is a knockdown. To be clear it always doesnt happen with WB either, which is so hard to figure out wth is going on.

    Plus I still have seen WB proc's FDU :).... *snicker snicker snicker*

    Then we all agree? When latency is low, and we all have sub 100 pings, wrecking blow works as intended, it's perfectly easily dodgeable, and the CC works as it should.

    When latency is high, it's much harder to dodge, like just about any other skill or time your health bar drops to 0 without seeing a single move happen. It's cc also doesn't work as intended, due to lag, much like some other spammable cc skills.

    Lag is the bane of all our lives, it's something that's going to be around for years to Come, as graphical demand, Internet speeds, speeds, computing speeds, and general demand of Internet gaming increases.

    It's going to be a long time before we have zero lag Internet gaming, not to mention they still have to offer support and options for the millions of people that can't afford brand new systems/components every month, and don't live in a major city with 200mbs speeds.

    Maybe yes. I still do not agree that snipe and CF behave the same as WB - it just completely conflicts with my personal experience.

    But I can agree to disagree on that. I do not doubt your experience any more than I doubt mine.

    I got one hit by a crystal fragments. That's just under 27k hp.. just generic... non enchanted armour.
    Now I know how to share screenshots from xbox one, I'll be sure to screenshot the awesome power of various other attacks... like idk ....the unavoidable radiant destruction that's used against me when im suddenly pitted against a -zerg- unit or the attack that makes it look like I get constantly slapped and have to repeatedly wobble for 10 seconds, when it looks like I've shaken out of it.. oop no.. invisible slap *wobble*. Magicka detonation... I wonder did the bat swarm, poison mist and detonation + caltrops combo ALWAYS work?

    Dodge rolling is a solution to one wb, not a solution to wb. It costs 33% more if you dodgeroll twice. If you intend to overcome wb by dodgerolling you are going to be out of stam and stuck on your back.

    Shoot a sorc bolting through you is a good thing... Crit rush him.

    Even when zero lag internet comes. You will still have server manipulation, DDOS, -sponging- and a whole mess of other network exploits. I have sat net and fiber optic, soon to be upgraded... and various other toys... very low ping rate to NA being in Europe... 62 ping is the peak. But I still experience lag periods. In all games. And that shouldn't be the case, ever, it's like a fully qualified chef having a brain fart moment and forgetting how to fry an egg... my Internet just suddenly fails.

    Anyone who uses a modified xbox or playstation (surprise it's already happening) will probably be able to do various things that he or she aren't allowed to. I can only imagine how much worse it might be for pc players on this game.

    The actual ratio of people actually cheating is seriously seriously low. A good example is destiny, many many players claimed lag/switching was a massively abused exploit, that every single game they ever played was being cheated. That it was so easily done and available to everyone.

    Bungie went on a which hunt banning anyone that resembled actual cheaters, the result? About 200 people out of 2million were found to be cheating.

    Hardly anywhere near as bad as people make it.it's just another scape goat excuse people use to blame their deaths/losses.

    Lag isn't down to your connection, games with dedicated severs are far better than peer2peer connections, but still even with super fast Internet all you are doing is communicating to the server, it still has to gather information from all the other players, which can have sub par Internet (and rural areas will for years to come at this rate) which means that their lag is effecting you.

    It's not the fault of anyone though, someone with superfast Internet can't take the moral high ground against someone with 5-10mbs, I've only just got fibre up to 40mbs, I was stuck at 4mbs for the last few years, as even though I live in what is considered a major city near London, bt are slow as hell and only recently rolled out fibre here.There's still a lot of the country to cover.

    I've had fibre since release. ... BT and in London?
    -found to be- just cause you aren't caught doesn't mean you're not guilty mate. I can name 40 people off the bat who cheat most of which own destiny. That's 1 5th of the 200. They aren't caught or penalised and they've played since release. The BS name and shame and "your word vs theirs" prevent me from reporting.

    And I mean DDOS, sponging, lag switching, modding.
    Lag is always a good reason to claim bs. Good thing there's a game DVR now that doesn't require a recording device. You record what happened to you and then confer with friends and the guttersnipe who finds it necessary to gloat and you show them.

    You.... what... destiny? Bungie games... notoriously Lagg (HALO CE and Halo 2 onwards. Lag rampant) and don't get me started on Activision. .. combine those two and lag is a motherless son of a dewberry. Bungie are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard and couldn't find their arse with both hands behind their back.

    Also if u wont believe me.... here's sypher and aetcharians quotes from a guide;

    Why is Wrecking Blow OP?

    Admittedly, Wrecking Blow is unreasonably difficult to counter because of its ability to be spammed on a player to force them to go full defense, yet the pure damage of this skill (along with it's long hard-cc and it’s self-buffing capability while being used consecutively) makes going defense mode against this skill futile.

    STFU Aetcharian; Wrecking blow sucks, but here's some ways to counter it if you haven't figured it out already.

    Here are some ways to counter Wrecking Blow extremely effectively along with some tips as to how I do it:

    A.If the enemy channeling the Wrecking Blow does not have CC immunity, swap to bow and Magnum Shot the enemy. This skill knocks both you and the enemy player in opposite directions, creating a great distance. After cancelling his Wrecking Blow with your CC, this is a great opportunity to Critical Rush in to him for a high distance bonus. This situation is clearly a win; stamina fights are all about offense (because a damage stamina build in defense is more resource intensive than being offense and forcing opponent on defense).

    B.After you Critical Rush your opponent, feel free to apply Burning Breath + Unstable Flame. These DOTs do massive damage and kill the opponent’s armor value. At this point he may be looking to Wrecking Blow you again, considering you just came in to his close proximity again.

    Do NOT make the following mistakes against Wrecking Blow.

    I.Mistake No.1: Roll dodging in the beginning of wrecking blow. NEVER roll dodge in the beginning of the Wrecking Blow channel. The channel takes a few seconds, so if you roll dodge towards the beginning of the channel, you will be hit by a full Wrecking Blow the moment your roll dodge ends. This is an extremely fatal mistake because after the attacker knocks you up with the skill, he will be able to follow it up with another WB with a 20% damage buffer; ESPECIALLY pay attention to this. The correct way to roll dodge against Wrecking Blow is rolling right before he swings; more specifically, when the sword reaches its lowest area before the enemy swings upwards. This will ensure no damage taken from the uppercut.
    II.Mistake No.2: Roll dodging backwards. This is actually not a devastating mistake like the first one, but why roll dodge in the wrong direction when you can do it the right way and gain a bigger advantage on the opponent? Many players are intimidated by the Wrecking Blow that is about to happen, and thus the roll backwards as to back AWAY from the player using the skill. The correct direction to dodge roll against Wrecking Blow is INTO and PAST the enemy. Here is why: the Wrecking Blow is a “target” ability. If you roll past the enemy such that your character is not in their direct sight, the WB channel will cancel itself and you are free to go on full offensive after this move. Even if the enemy is able to somehow follow your character with their sights (most likely won’t happen), if you didn’t make Mistake No. 1, the Wrecking Blow would not have hit you in the first place. And making the enemy turn their entire camera will disorient them to an extent nonetheless. Thusly, this method of countering Wrecking Blow

    Then we all agree? When latency is low, and we all have sub 100 pings, wrecking blow works as intended, it's perfectly easily dodgeable, and the CC works as it should.

    When latency is high, it's much harder to dodge, like just about any other skill or time your health bar drops to 0 without seeing a single move happen. It's cc also doesn't work as intended, due to lag, much like some other spammable cc skills.

    Lag is the bane of all our lives, it's something that's going to be around for years to Come, as graphical demand, Internet speeds, speeds, computing speeds, and general demand of Internet gaming increases.

    It's going to be a long time before we have zero lag Internet gaming, not to mention they still have to offer support and options for the millions of people that can't afford brand new systems/components every month, and don't live in a major city with 200mbs speeds.

    Even when zero lag internet comes. You will still have server manipulation, DDOS, -sponging- and a whole mess of other network exploits. I have sat net and fiber optic, soon to be upgraded... and various other toys... very low ping rate to NA being in Europe... 62 ping is the peak. But I still experience lag periods. In all games. And that shouldn't be the case, ever, it's like a fully qualified chef having a brain fart moment and forgetting how to fry an egg... my Internet just suddenly fails.

    Anyone who uses a modified xbox or playstation (surprise it's already happening) will probably be able to do various things that he or she aren't allowed to. I can only imagine how much worse it might be for pc players on this game.

    The actual ratio of people actually cheating is seriously seriously low. A good example is destiny, many many players claimed lag/switching was a massively abused exploit, that every single game they ever played was being cheated. That it was so easily done and available to everyone.

    Bungie went on a which hunt banning anyone that resembled actual cheaters, the result? About 200 people out of 2million were found to be cheating.

    Hardly anywhere near as bad as people make it.it's just another scape goat excuse people use to blame their deaths/losses.

    Lag isn't down to your connection, games with dedicated severs are far better than peer2peer connections, but still even with super fast Internet all you are doing is communicating to the server, it still has to gather information from all the other players, which can have sub par Internet (and rural areas will for years to come at this rate) which means that their lag is effecting you.

    It's not the fault of anyone though, someone with superfast Internet can't take the moral high ground against someone with 5-10mbs, I've only just got fibre up to 40mbs, I was stuck at 4mbs for the last few years, as even though I live in what is considered a major city near London, bt are slow as hell and only recently rolled out fibre here.There's still a lot of the country to cover.

    I've had fibre since release. ... BT and in London?
    -found to be- just cause you aren't caught doesn't mean you're not guilty mate. I can name 40 people off the bat who cheat. That's 1 5th of the 200.

    And I mean DDOS, sponging, lag switching, modding.
    Lag is always a good reason to claim bs. Good thing there's a game DVR now that doesn't require a recording device. You record what happened to you and then confer with friends and the guttersnipe who finds it necessary to gloat and you show them.

    You.... what... destiny? Bungie games... notoriously Lagg and don't get me started on Activision. .. combine those two and lag is a motherless son of a dewberry.

    I said near London, I'm between Romford and brentwood, so a fairly well populated area no? Not out in the middle of no where. Half of my area had fibre about 2 years ago, bt just couldn't be bothered to do mine/a few other streets it seems. I'm not bitter it's simply the way things work.

    I know just because you weren't caught doesn't mean guilt. But it shows there were vastly less people doing it than suspected, if you believe everything you read on the Internet it sounds like every person is doing it, that every single game in a fps is full of them etc.

    I was simply using destiny as an example. It doesn't really count as much due to p2p connections being more open to attack than games with dedicated servers.

    I found using empowering chains/lava whip a good counter dk vs dk. Also shield charge is good + immovable brute... yum vs wb.

    Dodging WB isn't really a long term plan. If I used WB I would hope you dodge the first ones, that way you won't be breaking free when it finally lands.

    80% of sorcs bolt through me when I use wb. Nightblade cloak and never get hit. Templars just stand there and out heal my damage somehow. Dodge rolling is just one of the many solutions to WB..

    Once again I'm curious how many people who want wb nerfs actually have a stamina class maxed at v16 and have tried to spam wrecking blow on other players.

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong with how I spam WB...

    Dodge rolling is a solution to one wb, not a solution to wb. It costs 33% more if you dodgeroll twice. If you intend to overcome wb by dodgerolling you are going to be out of stam and stuck on your back.

    Shoot a sorc bolting through you is a good thing... Crit rush him.

    Now I suppose u want to QQ nerf crit Rush?

    Your supposition is incorrect and baseless.

    Here I am giving u a few legit counters and you were whining about something else. So naturally i assumed u were gona cry nerf. Sorry my bad.

    Dodge rolling is a legit counter to one WB, not WB itself. What is this you say I'm whinning about? You shouldn't make unessecary assumptions.

    Here let me requote u once again and read your own post:

    "Shoot a sorc bolting through you is a good thing... Crit rush him."

    EVERYTHING in this game has a counter. Why would u bring up crit rush when we are talking about how to counter WB.
    I get the feeling your trying to troll here... So im going to leave u within the good hands of mother google. Type how to counter WB into it = profit.

    None of what you quoted is whining or complaining about crit rush. I brought it up because you mentioned that you had a problem with 80% of sorcs who were countering your WB so I gave you the counter to that. It's actually to your advantage. How you read nerf and whining into that is anyone's guess.

    I'm on cell phone with sasquatch thumbs, get over it.

    I told u how other people counter WB. Not QQ about sorcs using bolt. Correct me if im wrong, I dont see my account making a QQ nerf Bolt thread? If 80% of sorcs and almost all NBs and Templars are able to stand toe to toe with WBs against me, why cant u do it? So u do admit WB can be countered/dodged? Dosent this make this whole thread kinda pointless?
