    Wait so I can roll the dice someone at ZOS happens to drop by a thread on their busy day, or I can try and summon someone for a critical issue and intentionally be ignored? What the heck kind of choice is that?

    People summon you guys because they feel a critical issue exists. Having a policy to ignore critical issues from your playerbase seems like a bad idea to me. While you may avoid having to post in the thread, every player that stops by the thread and reads it will see critical issues being ignored and leave with a sour taste in their mouth. That is the inevitable outcome of this policy. This thread has 4.2k views, that is your audience. I get that you guys want isolation from us crazy people, but why not take the opportunity and show 4,200 players that you care about your player base rather than show them that their concerns don't interest you. Everyone of those people are valuable players that either pay a sub or purchase the DLCs.

    Seriously Snu <3

    Honestly, DK feels so lost as a class. Its manageable because it's got some great class skills and ultimates.... You can still play it, but there just seems to be no place to thrive for Magicka DK in PVP.

    You have no reliable class gap closer. So run S&B or just hustle your chunky a$$ to that sorc.
    You're forced into melee range as all your damage abilities are within 8 meters. Guess you could use reflect but you're gonna have to use it a lot as it only reflects 4.
    Your class heal has decided it does not want to heal you anymore. Run resto or gtfo & diaf.
    You can do some damage, but you have to partially spec for tankiness to survive this environment, so your damage is lackluster against anyone who has been playing the game longer than 5 minutes.
    You can't permablock, or really any amount of block for any amount of time. So the hoards of people around you just swallow you whole because.....
    **You have no escape**, except mist form which now is targetable without tab, and clearly displays where you are with an alliance indicator above your head to boot.
    Once you engage in combat, it's YOLO till the death.

    On top of everything, your talons can now be blocked, lol. Like ZOS has made it so hard to solo and so easy to QQ.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    That right there is so very true.

    i do not play this game any longer , i do read /posts on the forums.....( a small glimmer of hope ) but i have to agree that , when someone new comes along, and searches the forums, there are many issues not being addressed .

    i see a Z near a post, and think, it finally happened, someone got a response......only to find out its some mod doing his/her
    behavioral therapy course credits on us. we need more communication , its just part of the deal! you already see what happens when YOU DONT ANSWER, try the other approach for a bit....basic

    But that's the grand beauty of it all, ppl are supposed to stop blocking now because ZOS wants to remove it from the game, therefore you aren't supposed to notice the talons nerf. All your QQ tells ZOS is that they need to make blocking have negative stam regen. :lol:

    Agreed. The change to ult generation and the scales nerf were pretty much sufficient. Any further nerfs to the DK class seem cruel at this point.

    But the biggest problem is that this represents an inconsistent design philosophy. Either ALL Root/Immobilizes should be unblockable or they should all be blockable.

    Tweaking skills on a case by case basis is terrible for game balance and frustrating for everyone. Roots are a great counter to blockers, dodge rollers and invisible enemies, zergs, as well as being VITAL to PvE tanking for Crowd control. Some PvE enemies do block, (like the keep guards). They should remain unblockable.

    Revert Talon change.

    Thank you for responding Gina. The mood of the magicka DK right now is pretty bad. A quick search through the forums will reveal that. Right now you guys should be talking with people on how to recover the DK, not nerfiing it without provocation. I urge you guys Investigate the player feedback on the DK because it is far worse than you realize.

    If roots prevented the use of BE would you support a revert to that nerf? I'm all for having more counters and less nerfs.

    I even argued against the scales nerf if they put an offensive purge skill in the game.

    I would LOVE to know the lack of logic behind making a GROUND AOE blockable. Can I now block AoE Lightning, Fire and Fear? How about making them REFLECT with my flappy flaps? I mean, it works with Meteor.

    I wouldn't support that type of nerf to BE because I understand sorcs need that mobility, I do however support the the cost increase stacking. That guy I was responding too is here trolling the forums and said he wont support us because we didn't support sorcs when the cost was increased on BE, yet I'm sure each DK here was effected by a similar and even harsher change to blocking.

    But you're right, let's not derail this.

    I think, like others have already said, that the root should not be blockable. The damage can be blockable still. I run this in a group PvP set up mainly for the root, not the damage. Making it blockable really gives me no reason to use it at all now seeing that many people still block cast.
