ZoS Crystal Fragments should be unreflectable

Lisbette · January 2016

With all the upcoming buffs to magicka Dragonknights (flappy flap) and Sword and Board reflect still strong I think Crystal Shards and it's morphs should be unreflectable. Just make the animation the same as Endless Fury drop a Crystal Shard on DK's head ftw. Amirite?

Why should they do that? Frags already hit like a truck and knock you down. Dragonscales and defensive stance are they're only counter besides dodgerolling which you can only do so many times. Taking away its ability to be reflected would be like making wrecking blow unblockable.

Seriously is this for real pfft you might what that but I'm guessing the other 99% that play Dk don't

Its a projectile,it should be blockable

Sharee · January 2016

They should also make bolt escape apply 4 seconds of invisibility to the sorc.

You can never have enough sorcs

Alucardo · January 2016

I'm only happy I can reflect that back to you with 35% increased damage. What a shameful post.

i do agree that sorcs are in a great postition currently none the less does that not mean that tweaks to abilities not increasing their overall dmg but enabling them to hurt a DK at all(being reduced to DPS values below the HPS value of rally does not enable you to get them down in any way...), and one option to do that woul be by implementing a non projectile DD ability with a dmg value comparable to crushing shock. or chane CS to be a channeled ability like its animation allready implies...

Overload should also be nonreflectable, with the added mechanic that if the defender has a reflect up, Overload does 25% more damage to the defender.

In your heart, you Know this is what the game needs.

I also have this idea about gap closers doing 25% more damage to an enemy if the enemy has a damage shield up or is a magicka DK... But perhaps I'll make a separate post about that.

Equip s+b and play ping pong? Seriously, if something should be un-reflectable it's bow skills, not magicka skills, since other classes cannot reflect it back to DK. Or better, buff the s&b reflect skill so it can reflect physical projectiles too.

What DK buffs? Any source? I dont believe before I see the patch notes and try it myself.

I haven't heard anything either. I think this post is just from someone trying to nerf DKs even more.

Haven't you heard that magicka DK dots will burst sorcs in the next patch?

Heindrich · January 2016

I personally think proc'd Crystal Frags should just be an AoE (like Caltrops radius), that prevents the reflection and gives Sorcs some much needed class AoE.

Oh and I agree with @Sharee Streak should provide invisibility... and also execute low health players. I love KB with Streak

Oh and Hardened Ward needs a buff. My shield goes down after one wrecking blow

RoamingRiverElk · January 2016

I can't wait to burst those stam nbs with my dots too. The poor things have no viable healing after all! Mwahahaha. WE WILL RULE THE WORLD

hmm overload unreflectable? so for first nerf this dmg because if you hit with this it has power like wreck blow, nty ;P

I just see sorcerers on pvp, all just loading ulti and then spamming this ulti for all, just 2-3 hits to kill all also "poor dk" who is good for duels

good sorcs dont need this ulti to win fights, now if this ultu will be better to hit and unreflectable....then sorc will be FOTM and all noobs like now unskilled spambushers will switch to sorc and spam over all overload ultii killing pugs for 2 hits lol, better than nb because he dont need to gang people to kill their in moment

Equip a shield.

No. Crystal Frags hit me for an average of 6-10K, and most of the time its closer to 10, and I am in medium armor with 15K spell resistance. Crystal frags does a huge amount of damage and can be insta cast, without scales a DK would not survive against a sorcerer, the sorcerer does MUCH more damage than a DK and can be very tanky due to their superiority in damage shield use. making frags unreflectable would make sorcerers very OP in the ranged department. you will have to find a way to deal with it. I did by slotting a melee as my secondary, im sure you can think of something.

Crystal frags does a huge amount of damage and can be insta cast, without scales a DK would not survive against a sorcerer especially if its a damage shield stack spamming sorcerer, whose stack values average 16-20K. You are going to have to learn to play around scales, it only lasts 4 seconds. If not that, then get out a melee weapon and charge them.

light armor wearer have 5-9k more spell resistance than medium armor wearing chars...
my dunmer DK in light armor sits at 21.1k...
so this is not a reason for its denial.

I want a pony.

Drakilian · January 2016

Use defensive posture dude.

Cody · January 2016

and i do hope there are buffs incoming for mana DKs, they need it. Play one for a bit and you will see why.

Jura23 · January 2016

why frags? why not solar flare?

pointelss discussion. the tooltip is clear. single target spells. no room for taking frags out.

Make the crystal frag do 50% of its current damage with no knockdown and a constant 1 second cast time and I MIGHT agree to making it unblock-able.

Or remove the streak cost penalty to compensate for frag being reflectable.
