The meteor change still doesnt leave all ultimates unreflectable, as stated by ZOS

You can't.

Get over Meteor. Get over Magdet. You're still holding all the cards vs sorc.
Pour sorcs...how dared ZOS create a class that counters the sorc's burts!
Oh and keeping that thought - what is the DK's ability that can burst though the sorc's shields?

I will never refuse a 1v1 that happens naturally or otherwise. The terrible ones always die. The good ones like Yoyouyi only die if they *** up and let wings drop with a curse up and a frag proc. The ridiculously good ones like Saber, there is absolutely nothing I can do to them.
Otherwise it's a wash. Magsorc can not apply any pressure to a good DK.Edited by Xeven on February 15, 2016 8:23PM1 -

Everyone good requires an ultimate burst combo to kill. Templar, DK, NB, Sorc, it doesnt matter. I don't know who you are, but if you fight any of the top players in Legend, you will never kill them without an ultimate.
And with that you have just revealed how naive you are. You don't have any experience playing at the top level of PvP, and cannot possibly speak to the validity of Meteor, or MagDet.
Good luck with the crying. Theyre not going to change it.

You always resort to insults and name calling when people don't agree with you. Not everyting you say is wrong, but you are incredibly myopic most of the time. You are just completely unable to see past yourself and look at the big picture. And nobody is crying about anything. You're the only one taking it to that level. I'm just asking you to be fair. And frankly you seem like a spoiled child who doesn't want to share his toys.Edited by eventide03b14a_ESO on February 15, 2016 8:33PM:trollin:4 -

✭Dk are the natural counter to sorc. In my opinion, it's fair. Sorc are really strong against Nb, Nb are good against DK, DK are good against sorc. So it was intended, but some change destroy this balance (especially with nerfs and stamina change, who bring a lot more possibility).
One build shouldn't be cookie-cutter. "Classic" magsorc aren't good against DK, but dot-based sorc are good ([EDIT : old build, non viable now] I remember my old sorc with liquid lightning, thunder staff, mines, rune cage, encase, curse, mage wrath, thunder form, caltrops and valkyn + reflect, who killed nearly every DK with dots, controls and valkyn meteor before 1.7), as stamsorc as (well, buggued WB spam is). A perfect pvp would be full of different build, each with weakness and advantage. DK are the perfect example for sorcshield, as light attack bow shield breaker's user are.Edited by RoyJade on February 15, 2016 9:11PM1 -

✭It's not an insult, it's simply a fact. You don't have the experience.
You're asking me to be fair?
You think 2500 DPS is fair vs a dragon leaping, wreaking blow/fossilize/crit rush spamming tanky DK from hell?
It's not.
The argument of this thread is about meteor. If you can't handle a big boom and a rune at your feet for 3 seconds, then it is you who is crying, and it is you who is being unfair.
You're trying to make the argument about me. It's about meteor, and meteor is fine.

This is bad game design. Nobody should counter anyone at the character creation screen. It should be about wit, speed, strategy, skill etc.

I never complained that meteor was too powerful. You can't even keep who are raging at straight. I said it's going to cause massive amounts of lag like it has in the past. I never die from meteor as I'm sure most sorcs don't because it barely tickles our shields and the snare is laughable if you have streak slotted. Hell you can even roll dodge out of the snare. But it does cause major lag. If you're such an experienced player how can you not remember this?:trollin:1 -

✭That's why I've tried to develop a magicka sorc who wreck my natural counter. And it's working.
Basically, classes are stronger in some roles, but they can do something else with success. It's not just your class who determine who will win and who will loose, it's your build with this class' tool and your skill. Even if it's not perfect (but better than at the beginning), I find this game design interesting.
About meteor, the main defense is a block. But some people say that a hard-cc who bypass block would be too powerful. Every classes gave something like that, so with some skill, every one can use this meteor very well. We really need to see on the live server if the game will be a spamming flying-rock fest or not.
Edit :
1.7 destroy my build, caltrops, LL and valkyn combo wasn't viable anymore. I have enough regen to break free each 5 second and dodge each 4 second, and enough to spam encase and rune prison to waste all my enemy's stamina. It still work well, even if a frag/curse burst is way more viable, sadly.Oh and by the way, youre not going to kill Yoyouyi or Saber with LOL caltrops and liquid lightning. In fact the moment you throw caltrops on a mag sorc theyre going to fossilize and demolish you for wasting all your stamina.
And I'm not a dueling player, I speak (and can speak) only about little to big-sized group. In duel, negate, atro, nova, standard… and nearly all the ultimate I love don't work, nearly only burst ultimate work well.Edited by RoyJade on February 15, 2016 8:58PM0 -

See even if they were to make it blockable that's not an incentive to not use it. People need a reason to not use it. If there is no risk then there is no reason not to use it.:trollin:0 -

Youre not going to kill Yoyouyi or Saber with LOL caltrops and liquid lightning. In fact the moment you throw caltrops on a mag sorc theyre going to fossilize and demolish you for wasting all your stamina, right there in your pathetic caltrops and what's left of your mines.
Are you trolling or what? That is the most absurd strategy I have ever heard of. Sorc needs more tools vs reflect and you "Sorcs" are compounding the problem.

I don't really think that was his point. Insulting someone else doesn't prove you right by the way. It would be far more productive if you could hold a conversation about this in a polite tone. There are things I agree with you about but I also feel like you're being short sighted. You have to look at the whole picture.:trollin:0 -
RoyJade✭✭✭✭✭
✭I've said "before 1.7", but you're right, some people don't read everything. I've edit it to be more precise.
It don't change the problem, it enlighten an other one : the non-viability of numerous build because of the too strong burst build meta. It force every magsorc to use frag, every bow user to use snipe, nearly every stam user to use WB if not NB, every magDK to use whip… everyone need a fast burst ability, and only that. I hope that the new change on purge way and shield will bring back dots on the front scene, but the game still need some change (life and armor utility, perhaps?).2 -

✭I don't have the time or the will to word this in a way that you deem politically correct.
If you actually had any arguments worth acknowledging we might actually have a conversation. So far you've done nothing but disregard the fact that Magsorc has no viable counter to wings at the highest level of play.
I already know what you want to say. I've read the other threads. Meteor spam. The far reaching consequences of it yadda yadda.

That's mostly because they nerfed our damage. Burst damage was easy to achieve in 1.6. I think that's what some people miss.:trollin:0 -
RoyJade✭✭✭✭✭
✭But burst damage in 1.6 with 1.7 stuff might be insane. Burst heal, burst damage, bursted defense/life, everything is a fast burst. Dots are purged or ignored, mitigation apart from block is useless, everything it's about burst. And it's where meteor shine so much.
