    It's a nice gift for Templars. SA + RD = GG

    I liked it better when you could interrupt it with a stun or crushing shock. But we all know Wheeler at ZOS plays a Templar. So this is the garbage we get.

    No! Do not nerf Soul Assault. It's a beautiful spell for us magicka users.

    I don't quite understand what's new with Soul Assault. Why would you use it AND RD? Why not just continue to spam RD?

    RD doesn't do much against high health targets.

    SA does, and it will tear you to quarter health or lower if you don't block it. Then RD finishes you off in a second.

    I feel soul assault should be nerfed on damage again but given a 20 to 30% boost (over the 15%) when used with Oblivion's Foe Set. This set is already given such little attention, let's have it effect everything under the soul magic line and boost it up.

    I don't think ZOS considered all of the consequences of this. The ult is like what, 75 cost? It's so cheap it's practically spammable.

    Magicka Sorcs and Magicka Templars will make great use of it. Sorcs will sit in mines/volcanic rune and SA people with the swarm mother set and watch them explode. Magicka Templars will SA/RD spam and you can barely tell the difference between them on the receiving end of so many Jesus beams.

    I love to use it on live, but will most likely not use with anymore if the recent changes.
    The point in soul assault was, that it was unblockable. That made it usable vs tanks.

    Now my opponents can simply block it. I'll return to dawnbreaker
    I wish they would increase the damage by 15% and make it uncloakable and unpurgeable, but leave it interruptable and unblockable.

    It costs 100 ultimate, like dawnbreaker used to (which now costs 125)

    I can outcome its damage on live servers with hardened ward + dark conversion, your argument is invalid.

    It's not efficient against any kind of shield, even ingenous shield spam is enough to negate its damage.
    It is only really usefull against flesh and this flesh can now block it.

    Experienced PvP Player: "Magicka needs a single target, burst + cc ultimate similar to Dawnbreaker"

    ZOS: We understand that the community is concerned regarding Radiant Destruction. Here's another long-range, uninterruptible beam and a weak sauce AoE Destro ultimate"

    I must admit, soul assault is really going to be a problem in outnumbered situations.
    In a 1v1, you can simply overwhelm the person who uses it and unless he doesn't stop the channel, he will get himself killed.

    But when I am outnumbered, then it's pretty stupid to have no way to stop it besides breaking line of sight if it's possible.
    Can't we just leave it as it is ? Unblockable, bashable and no CC immunity ? But add the other changes like 15% damage, not purgeable and not cloakable

    It shouldn't be made too noob friendly. You should at any time be in need to decern, if it's wise to use your ultimate or not.

    I believe my good friend Khajit has missed the patch notes for 2.6.1. This one will gladly assist.

    Soul Strike:
    This ability can no longer can be purged or interrupted, but can now be blocked.
    You will now be immune to CC while channeling this ability.
    Increased the damage from this ability by 15%.
    This ability now prevents your target from entering stealth and invisibility for 2 seconds.

    If I was going to be objective , I'd say those changes will make it feel like a Ultimate worth slotting . 15% more damage means little in a stamina block heavy meta . The CC immunity is what about 3 seconds ? I don't see the fuss . The interrupt is what kept me from using it in PvE at all .

    The Soul Assault morph is four seconds, so four of CC immunity. With the stealth prevention, it's actually going to be good against night blades..

    When you cast soul assault your movement speed feels like a slow crawl currently . I'm guessing but around 10% movement speed while channeling . The cc immunity is almost completely pointless because of this .

    Nightblade cloak is broken anyways . Any dot and they can't cloak . Cloak doesn't even remove most dots like the tool tip says .
