    A ) You got marked by a NB so you lost resistances
    B ) You took 24K+ damage. Going by the standard that in ESO, everyone puts all attribute points either in magic or stamina and not health, you won't have that much health, even in PvP with Food Buff.
    C ) I wouldn't be able to tell based on the video provided but the numbers on some of those skills seems high, leading me to believe that they crit on you, so invest into Impenetrable gear. Curse never hits me for more than 5k, at most, in 5 piece impen gear.

    Also it seems to me you are a vampire by the speed you could move in stealth, since shooting star is a fire based move you'd be taking 20% extra damage from the get go.

    Gotta love how the meteor totally ignored the fact you were blocking.

    Your EP... Everyone knows you guys cannot solo... so why did you break off from the zerg? of course that meant instant death, your not used to having to taking on anyone alone.

    I have 15k spell resist so thats a 22% reduction
    15% from elemental defender
    25k health and was blocking

    Making meteor unreflectable was just ***, but the skill is so buggy it should really be removed from PvP. Goes through block, drawbacks, etc etc.

    Wasn't trying to turn this into a flame thread... but its so true. lol... just an observation. u broke off from the zerg and isolated yourself from heals. your a melee vampire in pvp going after a ranged attacker up on a rock, and didn't have any mitigation skills slotted. Your a zerger tryng to solo someone who is clearly alone, and prolly has learned to fight on their own. I don't see many situations where this could have possibly resulted in a win for you. meteor or not.

    When the meteor hit you, you had already been hit with a curse and entropy (giving him another 20% damage bonus on top of the 20% damage fire bonus he gets as you're a vamp) and the initial burst hit you for 11,750 you took extra damage from being in the AoE.

    And you say you have champion points in spell resist, he could also have champion points into things to increase his by 15% making your spell resist negligible.

    Basically everyone needs to stop whining about the ability, it's a meteor for god sake, it shouldn't be reflectable, the biggest downfall about the ability is you know it's coming! Shield up or dodge roll!

    A group of 16 is a zerg? No, and Im never in groups i always run solo. The only reason I was in a groupwas to increase my AP so i could finish my T3 rewards cuz im 2 1/2. So before assuming things it be best to think of different scenarios rather than trying to trash another alliances

    With your logic about it being a meteor
    How come
    Its cloakable?
    Its blockable by a tiny staff?
    Its being a comet has nothing to do with how it should be countered.
    Dragonleap being an ulti can be stopped by roots. Stopped midair by stuns
    Batswarm can be stopped
    Overload is reflectable

    Meteor should have an exception because now everyone and their step-cousin uses it

    A group of 16 is a zerg? your right...by ep standards thats practically a solo job. x.x haha.

    Anyway, I understand. But you gotta understand you stacked up practically the worst case scenerio against yourself. I'm actually trying to think of something where you could have taken more damage... and the only thing that comes to mind is if you where naked and took away your cp. Honestly there are so many damage mitigation techniques available to each and every class you should be using something at least. especially if your running as a vamp. I mean you could have been wearing level 10 impenetrable gear and it would have made you survive that. You could even run nirnhoned if its spell casters that are really killing you, and it's meteors getting you every time.

    Adapt. Why do we need meteor the way it is? because it's one of the only answers to a massive swarm of zergers. IE Run in, cast meteor, proxy det, and proceed to aoe. Meteor is a universal skill, so every class, can use it in combo with proxy, which gives a viable option for a team of 4-6 to take out a zerg. That and it being reflected back didn't make much sense anyway. Beams like soul strike and radiant oppression make more sensible candidates for being reflectable...because u know... when is the last time you reflected a laser? when is the last time you seen anyone reflect a rock coming out of the sky at 35,000 mph?

    Your a vamp 25% extra fire dmg.
    It wasn't a 14k initial hit, you got hit by the dot as well.
    It was empowered.
    You was marked so thats - 5.2k resists.

    Nirn staff is 18% penetration, light armour is 10%.

    Your 15k resists (which is low) becomes 6k~

    Basically you got wrecked.

    Blocking works perfectly fine as a counter. The only time I get smacked with it is when I eat a fear right before.

    Get some health and impen (and maybe ditch vampirism) and you will be much better off.

    3 impen isn't enough, it's not like it 1 hit you either.

    You take 10% more fire dmg, my nb has a 20k meteor tooltip with alc proc.

    He'd hit you for 11k on a normal hit, he'd hit a lot more with a crit.

    Last time and hopefully ZOS will listen.... Meteor needs to be reflectable again it was already "on par" with the other ultimates in the game making it un-reflectable just made it a OP META.

    ZOS fix the mistake already.
