Hey, bro, I'm sorry that I'm not of your calibre.
All hail Lord Hempyre!

And it's not hitting that hard as your video clearly demonstrated. Unless you consider 2-4k above 30% hp to be "hard". Protip, lightning staff channels can hit that hard.

@bowmanz607,
Yes the reaction was terrible, already mentionned it earlier, myself.
I was not fully focused on the game, my error. Thanks for stating the obvious.
So, when I noticed something was happening, I dodged rolled instead of hitting Vigor.
(Vigor was hit when I was at the 24% mark.)

Why am I even explaining this?

@AfkNinja, Not sure what this have to do in comparaison to RD a 41m ranged ability in PVP that cannot be dodge.

I'm no showing this video to call for a nerf to the damage of Radiant Destruction.
This video was added to the discussion in light of the people that were saying that RD was not hitting that hard.

@Hempyre,
For me it's working great actually. Thanks for asking.

@Francescolg Are you for realzzzz?

Vigor was never used during you getting attacked.

You are explaining it because your video is being dissected and you had no other response because you know what I said in my post was all true

and you have noting else to say back to me

Additionally, as i established in my post your video shows how mediocre the damage is until your inside of the 25% range in which it still hit for less than other executes. But no you look at the end damage and say ahhhhh 17k RD it is OP. ROFL.

You mean the 30 second video you posted to illustrate how op rd is?

You mean the 30 second video you, yourself stated you weren't paying attention in, that you posted to illustrate how op rd is?

You mean the 30 second video that doesn't detail any information or recap on what hit you and when, other than the visual cue of rd, that you posted to illustrate how op rd is?

I'm not here playing my own song sport, I've listed a few things to help.

There's a lot, and I mean a lot of potential build diversity in this game with all the gear, skills and specs available. That means there are a lot of unoptimized builds. So before you start trying to cut down the efforts other have put in to gitgud, why not do some homework.

are we talking about the same 330 second video. vvigor was never casted in the fight. perhaps it was meant to be casted but it was not. No vigor animation, no health tick in the scrolling text outside of rally, and not vigor ticks reggistering with your health bar. If i am missing something please explain but i did not see it. I will certainly admit it if I did. Regardless, it does not change what the video shows. Additionally, dodgeroll vigor was the worst combo to choose to avoid the damage given the other choices that were a much better choice. But again, i never saw vigor.

I apologize you did hit vigor. But you hit it when it could not be cast so not only did you choose tthe wrong thing out of all that are available to you at the time, but you could not even press it at the appropriate time.

This actually is an issue! Not to side rail the convo...

But I have noticed a period of time when a move will be ignored (on console) after another move. And I don't mean like you spammed the button too fast. It just doesn't register. I found if I pause for half a sec (after specific moves, some don't have this issue) I can reliably do the next move... anyone else notice this?

I can not speak to tha as I play on PC. Although that may be an issue, that is not the fault of RD.

Waffennacht · August 2016

My view on RD: Best execute in game.

Haven't you guys noticed what ZoS does? It's round robin of classes. They purposely buff (within reason imo) one or two classes, (i hate to use the word nerf...) nerf the others and then later another change occurs to buff the other etc...

It's temps time for now, I highly suspect changes to be made to Temps, to a degree in which we will see, "You Q.Q nerfed my Temp!" threads.

Is it good? Yes, Is it the best? Arguably, Is it OP l? - In a way. Not in a game breaking way, but It is suppose to be abnormally difficult to beat Templars right now, just as it was Abnormally difficult to beat NBs when I started and then Abnormally difficult to beat magicka sorcs, and from what I hear from PC was once Abnormally hard to beat DKs.

For you guys that may not remember.

Literally DK and Templar, the words because being one was ludicrous, was a joke.

DaMastodon · August 2016

I've seen a few of these discussions on the forums now. I've been nuked by this thing several times, but had never been the victim of a true spammer. Until last night. This was your stereotypical guy that hides behind two of his buddies and just fires away while the others chip away at you. It was extremely frustrating. Honestly though, I use similar tactics with my stamblade: poison injection, snipe, ambush after the target is distracted. I think the worst part is just the obnoxious beam that sticks to you like an angry hornet.

Hempyre · August 2016

@genjutsu_kami

Lets be clear sport, you personally attack Every. Single. Person. that disagrees with your nonsense. And make no mistake, everything you've ever posted on this subject has been nonsense. You are clueless about how this skill works, and you purposefully have posted incorrect and misleading information.

It's not a surprise that your threads have been repeatedly closed by the mods.

Being hit by it makes a loud noise and you can see a bright beam but the damage is pitiful above 50% health.

You're clearly in denial or you are off your rocker.

Seriously you two @sluice and @genjutsu_kami need to just let it go. It has to start becoming embarrassing I'd assume.

How many posts have you made/been closed due to repeat topics? @genjutsu_kami

Cronopoly · August 2016

If Radiant was Nerfed, is there ANY Magicka spell in PVP that would be feared by Stamina toons at all? Seriously.

It's powerful when used "As Designed by Zos", and obviously broken from the LOS standpoint especially for a DOT, but compared to the many Stamina Burst attacks ranged and Melee, Radiant is like the last nail in the Magicka offensive coffin.

Sure Zos should nerf it, and Magicka toons should just stay out of competitive PVP period...

it took 2 fu...cking seconds to down him does that seem fair ????

Guy, and again, stop wasting our time and get a PC with a combat log/chat addon! If you like to talk about numbers..
Can you stop opening new threads on the same topic over and over again??

Your video shows:

A) a low HP spec'd build with 21k HP (every good stamina build can do 15-25k dmg to you in 4-5 sec). This is why people go with 25k-35k HP into PvP. But if you want to play a DD with 12-22k HP that's your choice and, yes, then you can get killed in a few seconds, one reason is: lags in PvP = the dmg comes a few seconds later

B ) PvP Lag - you can't see neither the Blazing Spear, nor the damage it does (as well as other skills which follow)

C) You, getting hit by:
1. Blazing spear + 1 tick = 3k dmg (lag pvp bug)
2. 1 or 2 burning light passive proc = 2,5k dmg, that makes 5,5k damage
3. Structured Entropy 1k dmg BEFORE RD, 6,5k dmg
4. Opponent had 2 BUFFs from Structured Entropy: (20% more spell dmg) + (20% more damage next attack/or/first dot tick)
5. Your HP 21,5 k - 6,5k = 15K -
6. First Radiant Destruction tick = 3923 dmg (20% more spell dmg/+20% first tick dmg/+CP magic damage 25%/+CP DoT dmg 25%) - 3923 - 20% dmg = 3200 - 25% dot dmg CP = 2700 - up to 25% CP magic dmg + other factors = ~1500 First Radiant Destruction tick (no accurate numbers)
7. Your HP= 15k - 4k = 11k, now finisher starts on tier 1 (of 3)
8. 2nd RD tick = 2743 dmg
9. Your HP -2743 dmg (some effects / CP heal you slightly)
10. Third Radiant Destruction Tick = 4151 (2 tick: this is "normal" damage for 1st execute phase for radiant destruction without empower buff)
11. 5k HP left
12. 4th RD tick = 7052 (tier 2 execute phase)

Radiant Destruction dmg= 3923 (+ 20% more dmg [first tick], etc. etc. etc.) + 2743 + 4151 + 7052 = 17869 total RD dmg

The time was more then 2 seconds but because of lags you couldn't see the blazing spear. After break free, you did not block/purge/heal yourself. So you were standing in an "invisible/laggy" blazing spear, so you had several DoTs on you, Blazing Spear, Burning Light, Structured Entropy + Radiant Destruction, from s.o. attacking from behind and your client had lags..

I can't say which ticks are crits and because of the lags the whole video is absolutely no evidence! Or it's just evidence for laggy ESO PvP! Second, I bet you have low CP-resistances for DoT damage and maybe 10-20% for magic damage.. ! Third, anyone would have died because of lags in that situation...

Just to clear something up, you break down the damage the poster of this video takes very well but what you are missing and what really burned him down is the fact that all the attacks listed 1-6 hit him all at the same time and would have regardless of lag.
I went through seconds 8 and 9 frame by frame. The attacker actually opens with entropy which applies the dot and buffs, he then throws a blazing spear which is actually shown landing just behind the video poster as he moving forward and is thus lost off screen after only appearing for a couple of frames.
Because of the high arc and long flight time for the spear it is possible to throw it then initiate a Radiant destruction that will land at the same exact moment. Basically this allowed the attacker to hit him with a burst over the course of ONE second that consisted of 2 instant damage abilities: Blazing Spear and Radiant Destruction (the first tick of radiant works as an instant cast), plus ticks from two dots: entropy and blazing pulse, and one proc of Burning light, all of which totaled more than 10k damage and then one second later as the 2nd of 4 radiant ticks hit he tried to dodge roll then run away which allowed the Radiant to run it's full course over the next two seconds . While it does look likes there's some lag slowing down animations I use that same combo to open fights on my Templar all the time and it's more about the attacker using class mechanics to his advantage than befitting from lag burst.
Really this is just a matter of the attacker knowing how to properly put together an opening burst with a Templar and the video poster countering by doing exactly the wrong thing (dodge rolling). Of course considering the OP of the video has 300 less CP and all purple gear with a magic resistance of only 11k and he's fighting a hardcore skilled player (I've fought him many many times and he's good) with 501 CP, probably all gold gear and more penetration than OP has resist there is probably nothing the OP could have done to survive anyway.
And finally in regards to video OP stating how much crit resistance he has: I'm a champion of wearing impen in PVP but all that crit resistance doesn't help when a bulld has enough base damage to quickly burst you by chaining attacks and procs and you don't properly counter with the right skills on your part.

His last video is just typical PvP-lag. HE would also complain about a meteor, if the player attacking him would have used a meteor, or some other DoTs/etc.. Small damage ticks get all bundled and 10 different damage sources strike in 1 second. This bug has been ig since early summer 2014, I think.

I bet after break free he would have done a dodge roll, not noticing or not knowing what to do against Radiant D. with one hand, while the other hand fills out the next complaint vs. Radiant Devil.

just to correct you..... closed because i have already made threads on the same subject (which is reasonable) and there is over 3k views on this thread so... success i would say.

clearly showing theres an issue.

back to your other ridiculous statement.

i don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me but i do have a problem with clear delusion when video evidence shows an over performing skill and certain community members are not honest enough to admit to the problem.

so spout your nonsense claims else where please. many thanks

DaMastodon · August 2016

As much as I don't like being nuked by this thing, I don't like being hit with snipe spam, I don't like beating on an unkillable dk, I don't like Breton magblades that disappear at will, and I don't like being blasted with mages' fury. The point is, any build in the right hands can be deadly. This is war, the struggle is real. I just want to pick a few of you bums off before you get to me

@genjutsu_kami

People like a show sport, even when it's a train wreck.

S'yn · August 2016

I don't get it. The first guy got attacked by 3 other people and someone JB'ed him on the execute... This would kill anyone pretty much if you didn't see it coming and had no defenses up, which he didn't.

The second video shows a guy nuking people with dark flare, which can crit for like 20k if they have no magicka defense, and THEN executing them with JB when they are at 30-ish% health, which it's supposed to kill you at that point, right?

If JB could kill you in 1-2 hits from 100%, you really screwed up your champ points and attributes. I suppose this could happen if you had no points in health at all and no points in magicka damage mitigation... you might fall down if you only had 13k health, sure.... but ANY execute would wipe you out too, not just JB.

If you get trained by 5 templars all spamming JB on you, well you're screwed... but it's 5 guys!!!! If you wade into a pack of nightblades at meelee range I don't expect you'll last very long either.

I really think the reason JB gets SO much flack is because of the way it gets portrayed in the death recap. If the last hit of any attack that killed you showed up as 500,000 damage, no one would be having this argument. If you only have 4-6k health and someone hits execute, guess what- you get executed! If someone hits execute and kills you from 100%, NOW we have a seriously OP ability that needs to be fixed... but is not what is happening.

The balance with JB is that yes it has good range, but it's interruptable. Other executes don't have the range, but you can't stop them either.

I'm not sure if you guys have seen it but you should watch the How a Nightblade Thinks Part 2 video here on the forums. He never once dies to RD. He counters it beautifully, while also giving absolutely hilarious commentary.
Please watch that and educate yourself about how RD really is.

@Wrobel There is tons of rage-threads about Radiant Destruction and there was never such threads about Blinding Light. It perfectly indicate that it is time to reverse this horrible change and grant us even revamped Blinding Light.
For example adds in Mazzatun use this animation to shoot rocks, so new BL can knockdown 3 enemies through block round templar, so class will get AoE CC that goes thorugh block like other classes have coz Luminous Shards were seriously nerfed and can't play this role anymore.
