As a Templar main, I admit that Radiant Destruction is not as OP as Shuffle (stacking?) dodging everything, but it is a bit too strong in Cyrodiil, yes.

It needs to be effected by Battle Spirit to act as an execute at around 20-30% health, not 50%, I guess. Maybe even make Battle Spirit (I know it's a band aid fix but we don't want to effect PvE) allow Radiant Destruction to effect 1 target at a time, meaning that other Templar's can't use it on the same target. It shouldn't get nerfed in PvE because it's perfectly fine in PvE, so if ZOS ever nerf it, I hope they do it smartly instead of potentially ruining a class that can counter immortal stamina builds.

If you want to make things fair, nerf Evasion/Shuffle as well. Shuffle shouldn't be dodging 70% and the RNG dodge is bull, 20% feels like 70% most of the time.

P.S Every class has its weakness and strengths, quit with all the nerf this, nerf that If RD does get nerfed badly, I'll have to be a hypocrite and make some detailed "Nerf NBs" or "Nerf Shuffle" topics.

They could create a set which grants damage reduction to executes.

Seriously though, those other Templar's who I see using RD at targets that are 100% are hilarious! I once stood there on my 'turtle-back bar' watching a Templar use Radiant Oppression on me about 10 times in a row and nothing else so he got bored and ran back into his keep.

A couple of archers and a gankblade hiding around a keep, outpost, or bridge will accomplish the exact same thing.

Stamina Nightblades are the only class that can counter Radiant Destruction right now, because they can simply cloak out of it.

I'd be running toward an outpost or bridge, and bam! 2 or 3 Templars spamming RD. Sure I can try and get close to stop 1 of them, and try to hit the other in a timely fashion. But, best believe there is an Aurora Javelin coming straight at me from out of nowhere. Only for the RD to continue. Or if their Templar group is feeling cocky, 1 of them will Toppling Charge into Sweeps, all the while the others are steadily beaming away. Then on the forums they say, "Git gud. It's completely a L2P issue."

I know how do you feel. It's like when you are on a mag character, so you can't dodgeroll everything, and you bump into three stamina nightblades spamming venom arrow/focused aim from distance while a cocky dk goes for critical rush into WBs...

It's not funny, I've to admit it...

Except Radiant hits way harder and can't be countered with anything but cloak.

Well, that's not true at all, but since this is the FOURTH damned thread about this same subject in the past week you'll excuse me of being tired explaining it all over again. In fact, I'm quite happy with the vast majority of you having no clue at all as to how to counter Beams so I can continue melting you on a regular basis.

Some people have, and they're frustratingly difficult to kill now. We've given away enough of our secrets, and the rest of the people either need to learn to read, or better yet just learn how to learn at this point.

I was getting hit with a 4k crit beam at full hp yesterday on my mag dk, i had 26k armour and 2500 crit resist.

Any other execute would of hit 2k or less with a crit.

4k crit for an undodgeable skill, scales at 50% and has a 40+ meter range...

with full molag set all scrolls i can hit 12k 16k 36k 48k at a worldboss per tick in that order so it is possible .
against a lvl 27 dk tho i did 1.2 k max .Weird sience.
And it is somehow still dodgeable , my reflec light hit , my rd , could not connect.

Why do people keep saying skill is an issue? Victory in this game is nothing more than who has the higher numbers. Nothing but Math.

This. Somehow "skill" has become synonymous with "I can hit 15 keystrokes in an exact rotation" as opposed to finding a way to efficiently dispatch your opponent in short order to move onto the next target.

There is plenty of skill involved in even a RO kill. For example ...

It takes skill to know that it's a bad idea to stand 1 foot from your opponent when you can stand 100 feet from them and do just as much damage.

It takes skill to know that a 200 person fight is not 100 1 vs 1s.

It takes skill to know when to drink your potions and cast entropy.

It takes skill to properly gear your toon and place your champion points.

All people are seeing is the end result of a bad situation that you probably put yourself in. (The RO spammer didn't make you try to attack a keep door directly under them.) What the complainers are failing to see is the days, weeks and months of preparation that went into killing you efficiently.

How about Radiant Glory, am I allowed to use that ?
