DK's using talons every 3-4 seconds with no immunity timer = a joke or what?

    @Snowgoons you must be new or something, there are Hard CC and soft CC in this game. hard CC gives immunity because you cant use skills, where as soft cc you can still use skills to defend yourself. Soft cc does NOT give immunity and never has.

    for the record, talons is a soft cc because you can still defend yourself and roll out of it.

    ok first of all OGLezard, nowhere did I say soft cc should give immunity learn to read if you are going to be a keyboard warrior, second:

    Talons need an immunity timer.

    I mentioned it before but maybe now that it's happening more often people will take notice. The skill needs to have CC immunity apply to it after you break it the first time. Same with Encase. You can't "just roll out" because they spam it. Someone please actually test this

    Dear @Snowgoons "DK's using talons every 3-4 seconds with no immunity timer = a joke or what?" if you knew what a soft cc was you would see how your post is actually asking for SOFT CC to have immunity timers........

    take your frustrated life somewhere else. You did in fact ask for it..... maybe you should learn to write better and elaborate more so your post doesn't come off exactly as it reads if that is not what you meant.......

    P.S.
    was not being a keyboard warrior.... I simply stated you must be new if you didnt know the difference between hard cc and soft cc. No where in my statements was I rude. kthnxbye keyboard warrior ;D

    P.P.S
    In case it is not obvious to you, because it is clear that it isnt, talons is a soft cc soft cc are stopped by using rapid maneuvers.....

    Talons have been nerfed a number of times since launch. I'm not sure you can really make an argument for nerfing them even more at this point.

    Talons and similar have only become an issue again because of the rapid increase in costs for blocking and dodging so where a month ago you would roll out, roll again and roll again and not really care now a few root 'n rolls drains your stamina pool.

    As a user of talons I have to say if you're seeing it spammed every four seconds then they are really spamming it every two seconds. Half the time it fails to go off - but you still get charged the full magica cost...

    There's the range thing too. Unlike other skills that tell you when the target is out of range, it just fails - but you still get charged the full magica cost...

    I said this some time ago before the new roll nerf came out.

    Any magicka dk / sorc can spam encase/talons more than a stamina build can dodgeroll out of them. Not even talking about poor magicka builds now with the increased rollcost :<

    Annoying as feck, tough nerf talons I'm not sure it's a good idea. DK's have enough of nerfs already ^^

    The only problem with Talons is that dodge roll had its costs greatly increased with the last patch, thereby making it far more effective than it should be. The same is true of blocking (which completely guts your stamina regen). If magicka regen stopped every time someone used a magical ability or at least mitigating magical ability this might be fair, but its a stupid game design that shouldn't exist in any form on the game.

    My other beef with talons is that it is considered soft cc, but Eclipse is considered a hard cc as well as purge-able. I'd like to know who the ad-wizard was that thought that was a good idea, or the same guy who thought it should only apply to a single target now. Eclipse has never really been that great of an ability, except maybe in some wierd 1v1 duel, which has absolutely nothing to do with winning in Cyrodiil.

    do you not know dragon knights were nerfed to the ground since launch? the console game has the same updates as the PC version got before CP came out.
    since PC launch DKs and Templars have been nerfed so much while sorcs became more powerful, bastion shield stacking need I say any more?
    my only defense against a sorc is my reflective scales extended chains and talons and or lava whip. my DPS sucks. which usually ends in a stale mate and us running away from each other. you can break out of talons if you lose stamina continuing to break from talons CC then maybe you need a new build or learn to play.
    here's a hint you might try. stay away from DKs don't get close to them. that's what I do. if you have cast abilities use them. I avoid DKS at all cost unless if im in a group. but I never play PvP solo.

    Talons are sometimes aggravating when I'm on stam toons. There are DKs that spam them, and I drain my resources blocking and rolling out, then can't fight back (spamming light/heavy attacks out of range, slamming "q" praying for faster potion cool down, generally looking foolish). That's not a Talon problem, that's my needing to be better at handling it when my mobility and skill pools are the same. Classic L2P situation.

    Talons aren't a joke, don't need nerfed (again) and aren't intended to offer cc immunity.

    It was annoying to deal with even when you could roll out. The ramped up costs of rolling and blocking though make escape an even more dangerous prospect. Another important point is that while you are rolling, you do no damage, but while they are taloning you, they ARE doing damage. This is where a purge is superior to the roll, but you still have the problem of costs, and still take the initial hit of damage. The win goes to the aggressor here definitely. If I can say anything though, Imperial City is the 'patch of the aggressor'. Being a tank isn't worth it.

    Oh and to say something positive. I think they should just undo the ridiculous block/roll nerfs, this would make the counters more available to people against Talons. Rolling/Blocking still has an opportunity cost since the talon flinger is still the aggressor in this scenario, and the game still favors the aggressor with this patch.
