    spamming bombard will drain stam super fast. Tactically, when I face someone using bombard I pressure them. The dmg is generally not that good and with cone aoe they need to aim well. When I use bombard, it is weakest in open field. It shines at choke points and confined spaces. My mobility goes down the drain when using bombard. Its most effective if I can remain stationary. If a lot of movement is required, it is very unreliable.

    Last I used bombard in pvp, the cc immunity was in full effect. Not sure if that is currently bugged but with the cc immunity, it prevented me from CC locking down anyone. In pve, with no CC immunity, that was bombards main advantage.

    Not sure if that info can help any raid leaders develop tactics vs the bombard hordes.

    You speak from the perspective of only one person using the skill. As telel would point out, yes it suffers from terrain issues at times, but these points are made moot when a dozen+ people are spamming it. If your cast fails because of elevation issues (or whatever) 5 other casts just went out from the others in the horde.

    ya, being simultaneously focused by a volley of any ability pretty much sucks.

    My solution is to continue shaming wrobel and wheeler both for giving us this disgusting meta and then deciding to ignore for months the warnings and complaints.

    They haven't even come close to fixing the bugs they gave us in TG, and we're getting the DB patch on PTS in about a month. Even the GoT shame meme is too good for them.

    Why a sorc should care for roots? Of course it is not a problem for you as you can streak and reposition.

    Sorcs care for roots cos you can only streak in the direction your char is facing, and your char can't turn around while rooted meaning a sorc can only streak in one direction while rooted. Sorcs don't really care for snares, I'm guessing that's what you meant.

    The Sad thing is:

    I bought this up on the PTS Forum The day before Thieves Guild hit the PTS

    Bombard -will be the New Steel Tornado - This must be addressed before the TG gets out of the PTS Bookmark

    in particular
    Snares can stack on top of each other making the target 100% snared meaning they can't move, can't dodge roll out of it, can't CC break it

    I told them on Feb 2nd, the day before the TG hit the PTS, that Bombard and its snares were broken and would stack resulting in 100% unable to move, dodge or do anything and I was ignored....flat out ignored.After i told them everyone would be running it, and pretty much you can't move 2 feet in Cyrodill without a Bombard spammer shooting at you from the back of his raid.

    I tried to save the PVP community from this absolute trash, annoyance, and overall frustration of being unable to move as no one finds that garbage fun at all...everyone assumes i was calling for a nerf to a skill because I have some personal whatever with it, and thats not true...

    I wanted the skill addressed to alleviate the mounting frustrations of the majority of the PVP community, and i could clearly see the most frustrating and annoying meta yet coming on the horizon back then...and now you can see the Hens have come to roost.

    I dunno why we bother even tell them about whats broke. It is not like it will get fixed anytime soon.

    If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got

    Bombard is just too OP and stupid i stopped using it. Absolute cheese

    Why not? I'm already perma-bombarded, it's not like it can be done to me any more than it already is. And if it's not being done to you enough yet, well... misery loves company :naughty:

    You can pan your camera, you cannot turn. Your char still faces forward and will only streak in that direction.

    Thanks, I'll have to test that. If true, it's just more evidence that the direction lock on roots stealth added in IC is a bug.

    While rooted you can pan your camera and aim your crosshair at players and hit them with single target attacks, but if you use streak while rooted you travel in the direction your character is facing not the direction your camera/crosshair is facing. So a rooted sorc can only streak in the direction their character was facing when first rooted. Get it?

    Yes but every good sorc position himself so he can streak with roots.

    Don't be silly, you can't predict when you get rooted and ensure that your character was facing in an optimal direction for it. What if you want to streak through somebody and they're no longer in front of your char? If you happen to be kiting players round obstacles then a well timed root can screw you over if your char was facing said obstacle when rooted. If you happen to be facing a zerg when you got rooted then the only direction you could streak would be into the zerg. The only time a root isn't an issue for a sorc is when they're in the open and it doesn't matter what direction they streak, or if they were already running away when they got rooted. Dunno if that's what you meant lol. Tell me more about this good sorc positioning.

    Spam bombard every other ability use and watch the hate tells flow through.
    Heavy atts are hitting for 12k even with a weighted bow.
    If you want to be extra stupid OP, replace hundings with shield breaker. More hate tells. :smile:

    Shuffle, immovable pots, one dodge roll, purifying rirual, purge, rapid maneuvers, bombard too. I main a sorc I love bombard and don't even use it. Get caught with it it all the time... least of my worries, does so little damage. I hope zos takes away all abilities and just leaves heavy and light attacks... Maybe then everyone would stop complaining.
    Why a sorc should care for roots? Of course it is not a problem for you as you can streak and reposition.

    Sorcs care for roots cos you can only streak in the direction your char is facing, and your char can't turn around while rooted meaning a sorc can only streak in one direction while rooted. Sorcs don't really care for snares, I'm guessing that's what you meant.

    u cant be more wrong, u can actually turn while rooted

    You can pan your camera, you cannot turn. Your char still faces forward and will only streak in that direction.

    try weaving heavy attack to the direction and come back again

    While rooted you can pan your camera and aim your crosshair at players and hit them with single target attacks, but if you use streak while rooted you travel in the direction your character is facing not the direction your camera/crosshair is facing. So a rooted sorc can only streak in the direction their character was facing when first rooted. Get it?

    u have to not target any1 or some1 at the direction u want to turn but it is possible, or was until tg havnt played sorc since

    It used to be possible to streak in the direction of your crosshair while rooted, but they changed it in 1.6. If you have a sorc it would be quite easy for you to test this. Town guards use talons on you if you agro them.

    You can turn around while rooted... if you don't mind playing in 1st person...
