    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.

    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 ^^

    I'm with you here - no need to nerf root skills, just ease back on the nerfs to dodge and block.

    So how is a magicka DK suppose to hit anything without their roots lol?

    They have 0 mobility. They have 0 gap closer. They have no ranged dps skills. So they're suppose to snail parade 20 meters behind the enemy and wave into thing air or wut?

    You can Purge Talons. The cost of Efficient Purge is the same as Talons. I call that a solid counter. Stamina builds cant spam Purge sure, but they also have mobility to easily outmanoeuvre a magicka DK.

    Besides, it's not as if standing in Talons for a few seconds will kill anyone. The dmg is pathetic fire DoT.

    Its not the talons that kill you its the horrible things the res of the raid do to you while you are stuck that gets you.

    But for a DK surely you have the same gap closers as anyone elsr from weapon skills and ranged options, you have a cheap jump/knockdown ulti and you have chains to pull people to you - thats a few you could consider.

    You know, you don't *have* to break the talons because you can fight perfectly fine in them.

    I mean, it's probably a magicka DK, not too hard to defeat.

    Talons can also be purged/cleansed/rapid maneuvered if you really want to break out of them and move somewhere.

    Buff magicka skills and make talons a hard Cc along with bombard. It'd the most *** thing to be able to spam root over and over again to the point where a Zerg can run guys that purely do this.

    Dodge roll is not an option for most magicka builds that run out of stam after 2 rolls
    But purge is an option for magicka builds.
    Lest talk about fear as @Beesting pointed. This the most OP skill in the game. It doesnt break on damage, it has terrible animation and you are not able to break it immediately, drain your stamina and if you are out of stamina you are dead.

    Fossilize is *** break and roll GG

    OP many have said magicka users can purge(snares and roots), stamina users can use retreating maneuvers and dodge roll.

    You posts indicate you don't understand what soft CC is or know you could do this indicates you need to learn the game mechanics a bit better before making suggestions about them, especially class specific suggestions, on a class you likely dont play.
    Its not the talons that kill you its the horrible things the res of the raid do to you while you are stuck that gets you.

    But for a DK surely you have the same gap closers as anyone elsr from weapon skills and ranged options, you have a cheap jump/knockdown ulti and you have chains to pull people to you - thats a few you could consider.

    Magicka = not slotting shield charge/crit charge/ using weapons

    Chains is ....its more a gap diminisher than gap closer. The amount of times i use it follow with talons and the guys is out of range. its just another over nerfed move and grants cc immunity but has no immobilizing/stunning effects. The Guy is off and out fo range before the animation finishes. Have to use it 3 times to land it once due to Z axis nerf. Ambush now there's a gap closer

    people claiming the dragon leap ultimate is a gap close, is beginning to bug me. Firstly not available on demand, secondly our damage is so bad we actually need to use the ultimate as a burst finisher, (remember we have no class exectute). If you see someone open with dragon leap, they are likely new to PvP/DK, or a tank/distraction.

    Yup, I as well prostrate myself before all of the pvp community for being "annoying"with my talons. I guess I will mass hysteria in its place. Oh wait...look at that my bad...been playing my new NB too much apparently due to how awesome my magic DK is I had to back off and play a different class to not be to OP on the battlefield with a magic DK.

    Again a nerf Thread? (Asking for soft cc immunity)
    Oh Boy :blush:

    Im Sorc and I think talons should stay as effective as they are(+ work reliable).
    As DK's have no means of escape, they should remain dangerous...at least in close range
    I agree, but it would be nice to be able to turn while in them.

    And this is a nice idea.

    Agreed. The nerf to dodge and block just makes Talons worse versus stamina builds. Give the dodge roll back, its not like you aren't still doing damage to the person you taloned anyway. At least the dodge rolling lets someone set up to defend against the talon-whip spam you're going to receive, if they're stamina dps. The nerf to dodge rolling just means that the Stamina DPS has even less resources in this instance. I think there's a balanced approach in here somewhere.

    I assume you're a magicka build user? The way you talk on nerfing stamina user. I also assume you either a sorc(highly assume) Templar or nightblade but I doubt it. If you talk about netting stamina user then that mean they have to nerf magicka user aswell if you play sorc you should know how op are crys frags are and wait...

    Umm you can use shuffle which gives immunity to snares and roots for a short time, rapids prevents snares and roots, you can purge, and also dodge roll.

    Learn to utilize the tools that are available and stop crying, QQ'ers like you is why the pvp in this game is so messed up because zos feels the need to cater to everyone who cries for nerf.

    Cool so with our purgable dots, that otherwise last quite a while all we are left with for damage is whip, which you want us to pay double for if we use it twice in 3 seconds. Lol and you think they don't have a clue, what a bad idea. Please don't @ them with stuff like that. I bet PvE would just love this.

    You should have been playing back in the days of 1.5 and before. Talons was MUCH. WORSE. No amount of rolling and purging would save you.

    Nowadays its one of the few things I have seen so far that a mana DK can really do.

    That's what they have done in that new mmo Black Desert. You can spam any skill but it is 80% less effective for the first second after, 60% less effective for the 2nd second after etc.. Not sure how they work some skills, damage skills are easy, but what about utility skills? How can you make Purge 80% less effective?

    Kind of a similar idea but just with costs increasing 80% more, 60% more, 40% more etc... After 5 seconds normal cost again.

    Sounds good in theory, but it would require such an overhaul of gameplay.
