Please zos can you make the dwarven sphere from the engine guardian proc untargetable because people use it as a shield and i don't think that should be its purpose. Does anyone else encounter this or is it just me?

    It needs to be targetable to interupt it.
    U may use tab to mark your enemy and u wont hit the sphere.

    Im sry to say this but thats a l2p issue..........

    I can't count how many times I have tab targeted a mob and 1 random guy runs infront of him outside the pack and my meteor goes to him and I miss the rest of the group I rounded up.

    I use blasty semi-AoE stuff to take out the guardian.
    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

    There is no way someone is "using as a shield" as it's a random proc effect and you never know when it will appear. It seems you are just having trouble randomly mis targeting.

    No, there is no tab targeting on xbox. That other guy was being facetious. Right thumb stick is sneak. There is no equivalent to tab targeting on console.

    Correct. Console has no way to tab target an enemy.

    I was all in favor of ZOS not updating Engine Guardian set to v16.

    How many times in 1.6 were infinite resources identified as the source of all kinds of imbalance issues?

    As far as it being targetable (interruptible), that's the only thing that makes it okay with me. That stupid set proccing or not proccing has a bigger impact on 1v1's and small scale than most ppl care to admit.

    I think the proc rate may need to be looked at. I agree. I believe it has stayed as is for so long because it isn't causing damage issues (blood spawn ult gain comes to mind). It is causing lack of sustain issues.

    To be honest the proc rate is freakin high IF u can spam skills. Unstable flame on my tank costs 400stam so.... ^^.

    Since i dont permblock and cast a lot that 10% chance feels way higher ^^.

    @zos add tab targeting to consoles. U wont need it always, but sometimes.
