Maybe my title was misleading.. Meteor cannot be avoided by any class now. You used to be able to purge/cloak Meteors with other classes, DK's could reflect, now you can't do either of them. It's essentially an unavoidable 10k+ attack, which is (IMO) a game breaker.
oh you mean meteor will be worth slotting for once lol it has never left my bar, because METEOR, but the fact it could be purged, hidden from, and reflected has always drove me crazy.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Ice Comet. Grinding lore books is probably the most nagging thing I've ever done on a video game but in end this skill makes it worth it. But, there should be a way to avoid it. Casters should have to think and time out when dropping ults.
Hold block, then dodge roll. Nothing wrong with that.
I am aware of those two mechanics. Unfortunately, neither equates to dodging a Meteor.
dont need to dodge meteor when you can just block it then dodge out of the ground AoE, thats my point >_>
I know what you are saying, but don't see your point. The argument ZOS had was that it was the only reflect-able ulti in the game (which actually isn't true via Soul Assault/Eclipse) so they changed that. Only now, it simply cannot be avoided at all, like other ults which can be avoided. In this next patch if you aren't running Meteor you are at a disadvantage and almost hipster status.
Me, my skinny jeans, and my man bun will not be running meteor

No it is not a game breaker.
The meter lets you know that it is incoming very loudly and shiny. You have a lot of time to switch to your defensive bar - put your shields up, refresh your HOTs, block, use the pots - just switch to the defensive play style when the meteor is incoming.
Reflect was a too powerful counter to meteor....being such a slow and obvious incoming projectile any one having a reflect ability could reflect it.

Its an ultimate. High damage is to be expected. Leave meteor how it is. If they change meteor to make it like Atro or Nova then people will just QQ on the forums about that because nobody can be satisfied with anything anymore.0 -

Meteor is already an OP skill on live, being able to reflect it simply gives a window to mitigate how spammable and superior it is to other ultimates. It's also not just a DK thing, since there are several class reflects and one weapon reflect. Now that it's not reflectable on PTS, there's no response to it and no special reason to run any other ultimate. I mean, you could try holding block, but experience has taught us that the CC immunity from block is absolutely unreliable in large fights. Making it work more like nova, negate, etc (keep the timer though, thanks) would put it back in line with other ultimates.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit
