It has been over a week now and a 6 page thread has been completely ignored on the Alliance board about Talons suddenly being blockable. With the patch last week, the root effect can now be blocked. Is this intentional or is this a bug. If a bug when will it be fixed.

    Talons to me seems to be somewhat OP, I don't mind being taloned, but when u are taloned to the point of death, that

    shouldn't happen. I would like to see a better cool down, and once you have been taloned no other person can cast it on you

    for a decent cool down say 1 minute.

    IMO ;)

    I don't know.

    When I am talon-ed, seems I can't get out and die a lot.

    When I talon other players, seems not to be effective.

    Clearly I'm missing something
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    It can & should be blocked.

    It was OP.

    Not all of us can block more than like 5 average, light hits. (Magicka users for example)

    Good change if you ask me. It will get reverted though, since many cries.

    AOE shouldn't be blockable. It it is, its not AOE. As far as blocking a root goes, either all roots should be blockable or no roots should be blockable.

    It is only overpowered for a player that doesn't know how to handle it. Most do.

    Regardless, my original post is for CLARIFICATION to a CHANGE that WASN'T announced. It has nothing to do with whether the you think the skill is overpowered or not.

    Never mind, Gina just answered on the the Alliance page.

    It was intended but unannounced but may be reverted..........which imo means it was never intended or purposely done hoping it would not be noticed.

    The OP was a valid question and should be answered, all other posts have nothing to do with it and arguing whether or not it should/could/should never be used and by whom etc is irrelevant. Just post to the original question guys - Do they work and if not is it intended?

    Forget talons, what about uppercut being insta-spam after the first cast?

    Yeah, true.. it's just that I have to always use Retreating Maneuvers because of all the snares people seem to be rolling round with in IC lately, like frost, talons, etc. I was happy that it was blockable at first, but what's the point? I can barely block 5 attacks before I'm out of stam, so guessing when I should block Talons would be suicide anyway.
