I found radiant a very good whip for nightblades spamming snipe when they defend a keep and stand above the main entrance. Only radiants could drive them away from their safe spots. Radiant as it is now, is needed. Pls don't nerf.

Snipe isn't a nb ability, any stamina build can use it.

I do not care about the damage Radiant produces. The only issue i have with the ability, is the ability to "preload" on your target. For instance, ill be 100% health and someone will start channeling Radiant on me, all it takes is a couple people to gap close me and get me to 50% health then its instant death.

If i could change one aspect of the ability, it would be to make it not possible to use the ability until your target it as 50% health.

Just my 2 cents on this topic.

Seriously. The only thing that needs nerfing are all these nerf threads. Every time the devs mess with skills due to the constant QQ-ing they mess everything else up. All that happens then is another skills is perceived as too strong and the cycle begins again ad nauseum. Either learn to play, improve your builds, or stay out of cyrodiil.

I've had my backside handed to me many a time in pvp but I don't immediately come to the forums and demand changes to skills I died to. I may occasionally have a brief rage on my side of the monitor lol, but then I rez up and carry on.

At this rate we'll all end up playing in no gear, no skill, no CP campaigns, having bare nuckle fist fights.... well at least until someone comes to the forums again asking for nerfs to those as well lol.

Same "old" video doing the rounds. I wish someone would make proper one showing gear and mitigation in all the tests. Anyone can wear only a costume and have radiant cast on them which, unlike the other executes, is a channeled execute. Anyone who's health goes down that fast to it is clearly not wearing gear that would otherwise mitigate the damage.

Sarcasm!

Radiant Destruction doesn't need a nerfs. I know it's easy for a Templar to defend it, but I even go vs other Templars who use it and I know how to avoid it; guess how? healing. Yep. Heal enough health so your health isn't in the execute range. Simple as that, really. Stamina users can heal like crazy now too so there's no excuses, on top of all the other possibilities like Line of Sight, Interrupting etc etc.

I have full impen armor, (5 light, 1heavy, 1 med), 15k spell res, and that's what shows in the death recap, so, I'd say it's pretty accurate with a casual set of armor (not a specific "tanky" setup).

That said, I rest my case, it's a channeled cast, and it's fairly long. LoS it, parry it, bash it, charge the caster, get out of range, outheal it, cloak it, whatever.

The only instance where you risk high with RD is when you're running from 20 people and, at that point, RD is the least of your worries, because 20 people spamming light attacks will probably kill you anyways...

Just saying

I wear all divines gear on most of my toon's, except for maybe one or two infused pieces, as I pve as well and can't be bothered to have two different sets of gear. The only time it appears on my recap or kills me as fast as it did in that video is when multiple templars are spamming it on me.

More often than not its wrecking blow or vicious death that appears in my recap hehe.

It's still weird for an execute to be undodgeable (every other one is) and have a stupidly high range and start at 50% hp.

Why does an EXECUTE start at 50%? Makes no sense make it 25% like other ranged executes?

Also why undodgeable? They specifically changed most gap closers to allow them to be dodged, because it was strong and defeated the purpose of dodge rolling in the first place which is to avoid dmg.

Dodge is the main stamina build defence. It's like having radiant just ignore shields so when magicka builds use healing ward is just ignores it and kills them anyway.

Well, they ignore crits, so.. Guess there's also that.

And i know templars are going to QQ in here like they always do since launch, i think templars QQ more than playing their game on forums, templar was always a powerful class but they QQed non stop and ZoS gave you a OP kill button it was like STF*U

You must not be good at reading. Normally it's just people crying that they got killed by the weakest class in the game and demand more nerfs. It's always sorcs on here QQing because they have to hit their *** easy mode button more often.

Templars aren't the weakest class.

OP are you a NB?
