How is Proximity Detonation with the new DLC?

ZeFeZ · September 2015

Curious if it's still as good as it is atm on consoles.

It's now even better for zergs to use which is entirely contrary to it's purpose. Funny thing is zergs still try and run away to use it like it's got a cast time.

they run away because it has an 8 second delay now.

I know about the delay, but I don't understand the strategy in trying to run away from a fight for a second round of prox dets. Before you did so because you couldn't cast or block but now you can just cycle them reguarly. Are people just trying to win entirely from proxdeting?

if they use up close they burn a chunk of magicka and also risk scaring the victim away, they move away to prepare for a close prox stun lock so you cant block the damage.

Also if they move away and the charge sets off early, they can give themselves time to regen resources for another push.
Never ever follow a zerg/organized crew. Always fall back to a safer position, regroup and hit the group when you are at your strongest (full resources, healers present, ultimates charged.)
