Please stop making things up, it helps no one to make an argument without facts. It will not hit for 9,000 dmg per tick before execute range period. If you want to make this claim you need to prove it.
I understand your frustration and this is not personal but your not using facts here, you're making up numbers (I also used your own made up numbers to show you that the dmg is not out of line). Also there is a HUGE list of ways to stop it, posted in this very thread!!! Stop acting like you are helpless! If I can handle it on my Stamplar so can you! What does it frikken matter if it hits me for 15,000 dmg when I have 5,000 left? A heavy attack would kill me at that point!

You made the argument, burden of proof is on you??? Also seriously, please stop taking this so personally. I am not attacking you, just disagreeing with the methods of your argument.

Also, leap, meteor, prox det do as much without being in execute range

Rules of debate:
"He who asserts must prove. In order to establish an assertion, the team must support it with enough evidence and logic to convince an intelligent but previously uninformed person that it is more reasonable to believe the assertion than to disbelieve it. Facts must be accurate. Visual materials are permissible, and once introduced, they become available for the opponents' use if desired."
You made the claim, burden of proof is on you hence why I'm asking for context. What was the total dmg, dmg of each tick, how much hp you had etc etc etc. How can any of us determine if it is OP or not without facts? Like I said I have not had an issue with RD, if you are I hear you but I want evidence. That's all.

Yiko✭✭✭✭✭I admitted that my example video was not an accurate representation of the damage, and it was an extreme. My opinion on the ability remains: it should be toned down in damage.
The damage, range, and it being undodgeable make it op. ALL of these things COMBINED is why I believe it is over performing. It should remain undodgeable, and the damage needs to be adjusted (full cast from full health does too much dmg imo). Check out Jules' video to see

Another nerf to the HP builds. You stuck HP to be tanky (not the case in ESO), then you drop under 30% (under 15k HP, almost as a Sorc total HP) and then boom, you are dead with 1 skill. @wrobel - that guy is so incompetent for PvP that it is not funny anymore.
You're not understanding what is happening when it is used against you cause the death recap only shows the total dmg.
Let's use an extreme example of someone with 42,000 hp, this is a LARGE amount of hp and most people will not have that much. 15,000 hp would be 35%. If you have 15,000 hp (35%) this is what happens when a Templar hits RD:
first tick: 5,000~8000, you are now at 23% hp or less (execute range)
second tick 10,000 dmg +
Most people don't have 42,000 hp however so let's use an example with 30,000.
15,000 hp of 30,000 is 50% of course. At 50% HP RD gets NO bonus.
First tick: 2,000 - 3,000 = 12,000~ hp left = 40%
Second tick 5,000 - 8,000 = 4,000 hp left ~ = 13%
Third tick: 15,000 dmg + = dead. You had 4k hp tho so most of the dmg was irrelevant.
This means you have more than a full second to stop the channel in almost all scenarios (bash or CC), heal or break line of sight. Most of the SS's i've seen of the "ridiculous" dmg was caused by the second/third tick of radiant hitting them when they are at less than 10% HP. If you're under 10% hp Radiant will hit like a nuke, however almost ALL of that dmg is wasted because you were about to die anyway.
Edit: 3K + 8k + 15k = 26,000~27,000 people are seeing. 3 full seconds.
I know exactly what is happening against me. I play with 45k hp and 3k magicka regen build. I try to be a PvP tank and provide my group with CC and debuffs. The problem is that the range of the skill is 36m in Cyro. Sometimes you have more than 2-3 ppl spamming the skill on you and they are just hoping that you will drop HP and then you die instantly. The skill is not anymore dodgable and @Wrobel forbade blocking (no stamina regen). Sadly I do not have 12k shield + 10k magicka shield. I reallize that templars need DPS but this is too much.
A difficult situation to be in for sure.
If you are a Templar tank you have access to purge and RD is still purgable.
If you are a DK tank, any CC will do (including talons to inflict minor maim against mutiple enemies to reduce their dmg.)
You still have block too, you just can't hold it for too long.
But against groups of enemies I'm afraid it becomes a "1vx" limitation issue not a specific skill issue (meaning even skills like brawler will be OP if it's in this context).
I understand that the main issues is that I face a lot of enemies. The problem that I have with this skill is that the range is too big to be interrupted by a mele class. I cannot even debuff these enemies because of the range. Then without blocking (no stamina regen) and it is not dodgable, what can I do?
I posted a full list of the abilities available to counter RD. They work and cheapest will be block/shields. I've had my Radiant glory dmg not working from full health-40% because my enemy was block.
You have to remember a Templar is not free to move during this channel; so you should be able to close the gap and interrupt.
Sorry but this is soo wrong, Close the gap and interrupt requires too much time and with my ex bosmer stamplar i can do 16-20k a second in execute range.
A quick way to avoid the radiant destruction is to roll doge behind something but you need to be aware of what's around you to do so...

✭I play with an OP PVE build and gear. My spells in Cyro give a ton of damage, however due to high damage I don't have much sustainability, so my Radiant Opression gives less in ticks, than if I had bad damage and high regen. This has lead me to use Radiant Glory instead, because I never benefit from the max magicka bonus from Radiant Opression.
I don't see this skill as a problem.- If in a 1v1 fight a high dps templar manages to take you down to 30% health, his execution will not hurt that much compared to if he had high regen. So you actually have a chance of shielding up and CC them. Templar execution is a channel.
- If in a 1v1 fight a low dps templar manages to take you down to 30% health, you are doomed either way.
- If you are outnumbered by templars, then you are doomed either way.

Yolokin_Swagonborn✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Is everyone just ignoring the fact that no changes were made to the power of Radiant Destruction this patch?
If radiant destruction is suddenly hitting really hard, then it is the fault of the changes to the champion system, not the RD skill itself. You know, that system that has been slowly unbalancing the game and introducing vast amounts of power creep into the combat system since the IC patch?
Now that you can boost elemental and magic damage in the same passive, everyone is consolidating their champ points and ALL magicka abilities are hitting harder. Not just RD.
When you call for a nerf to an individual skill, because of an overarching problem, you are addressing the symptoms and not the cause.
The Root of the problem has been better explained by @DeanTheCat than me. I simply link to his excellent post whenever this topic comes up.

✭✭Reposting from another thread.
"Thanks for your feedback on this ability, everyone. We did take a look at this ability just to make sure it was working properly and as intended, and it is. There are some circumstances where it can feasibly hit pretty hard, but that's ok in our eyes and we don't currently have plans to change its functionality. It's also worth noting that the way our Death Recap UI works is it combines all tickets of one channel together into one entry, so it may appear as though Radiant Destruction has some outrageous damage at first.

No, we've pointed out it is not OP and functions in a similar manner to other executes you just refuse to admit there is a possibility you are wrong. Blabafat admitted he was wrong, why can't you? You have tons of options to stop it. Your argument makes it seem like you want to 1vX against multiple people/Templar's and not have to worry about RD despite the fact is has numerous counters. If you ignore a Magic Templar in a 1vX they are going to execute you as soon as you hit 30% period. Just like ANYONE would with any execute. You want to be able to dodge roll it but ZOS has decided it should not be dodge-rollable. Use one of the other counters. Lure your opponents into an area where you can manipulate line of sight for an advantage. Don't stand out in the open and 1vX against 3 Templar's, it's really quite simple.
im not the one crying about 1vX multiple templars. Its very simple the skill does too much damage. No other skill can do 19k in pvp besides overload, but it can be reflected and dodged.
LOL on the no other skill can do 19k in three seconds. Tons of skills can do that much damage or more. WB, Frags, overload, dark flare, focused aim (which has a much longer range and has no animation to tell you where you getting attacked from), Surprise attack etc. etc.

My argument is that i have faith in Blabafat's opinion about a class. Even though he has backed off his origianal claim does not make me wrong for supporting him.
I believe Blabafat to be a competant templar player. Ive seen many of his templar videos and understand he has a much stronger grasp of the class then i do.
Does that make me wrong for supporting him? No. It just mean's i'm lazy and don't want to search for the facts myself. However i had faith with Blabafats ability to judge RD.

Reykice✭✭✭✭✭Yea it does as much as Overload but only when under 30%... the NB execute is just as good but you need to be under 25% so 5% lower... one heal and Overload will still do full damage while Radiant will do 1/3rd of the damage. Plus it can be bashed and etc unlike overload or the NB execute or well many other skills doing the same damage.
I think its the fact that you can see the ray on you... it makes it stand out and people are freaking out.

This means you have more than a full second to stop the channel in almost all scenarios (bash or CC), heal or break line of sight. Most of the SS's i've seen of the "ridiculous" dmg was caused by the second/third tick of radiant hitting them when they are at less than 10% HP. If you're under 10% hp Radiant will hit like a nuke, however almost ALL of that dmg is wasted because you were about to die anyway.
Edit: 3K + 8k + 15k = 26,000~27,000 people are seeing. 3 full seconds.
I know exactly what is happening against me. I play with 45k hp and 3k magicka regen build. I try to be a PvP tank and provide my group with CC and debuffs. The problem is that the range of the skill is 36m in Cyro. Sometimes you have more than 2-3 ppl spamming the skill on you and they are just hoping that you will drop HP and then you die instantly. The skill is not anymore dodgable and @Wrobel forbade blocking (no stamina regen). Sadly I do not have 12k shield + 10k magicka shield. I reallize that templars need DPS but this is too much.
You're complaining about being outnumbered and losing....seriously? You feel it's unfair for 2-3 Templar's to be able to kill you? Do you even realize Dark Flare will hit MUCH harder than radiant unless you are at 30% HP or less? If all 3 Temps were only using radiant it lowers their DPS...until you hit 30% hp, they were basically helping you survive longer. DF meanwhile can do insane dmg when buffed up and used as a DF -> DF -> Javelin -> execute. Be thankful they didn't know how to play Templar or they all would have just opened with DF on you and 1 shot you.
Edit: We didn't ask for more dmg, most Templar asked for passive changes/bug fixes and defensive utility fixes. Instead ZOS gave us more dmg ROFL.
There is a counter to Dark flare which is roll dodge and reflect. There is no real counter to RD. The problem with the ESO community is that most of the ppl defend their OP skills. It happens rarely some ppl as @blabafat who points out how broken are some skills for their class. That is why we will never have a balance in this game.
Then use one of the "fake" counters to RD.

I honestly don't get why people are so upset. Most of the time half of the dmg was wasted overflow dmg cause the target was under 10% HP. If the final tick does more dmg than your remaining HP you have to remove the overflow dmg cause it didn't do anything. If you looked at the real numbers it doesn't look unbalanced at all.
However because it's a channel it can function like Sorcs execute and kill you unexpectedly because someone OTHER than the Templar lowered your HP to execute range and then the beam ramps up FAST. Still though, even in group vs group content I don't feel it's out of line as there are multiple counters and it even tells you WHO to counter.0 -

It's not like we're invisible! Hahaha we paint ourselves in golden light like a beacon! COME KILL US! I'M A TEMPLAR!!! Lol
Edit: RD leaves you SUPER open to ANYONE too...no defense at all. I love it when they try to burn my Stamplar at full HP.Edited by AfkNinja on March 15, 2016 3:16PM0
