It is easy to spout l2p and the like as many have done. But as one person pointed out, a death recap would never have been able to make it to a 50k incoming damage if it were indeed a l2p issue, because I would have been dead long before 50k incoming damage would have had a chance to occur. He uses the morph that follows above his head and he also runs a gap closer/stun. It's not hard to figure out why this is an effective and lethal combination.

If I were "just standing in it" like a moron like some have assumed, I would have died with a death recap closer to ~15k. Instead, I did heal, I did attempt to tank it, and almost succeeeded as my friend/opponent would verify. With that much incoming damage it is difficult to do much else but play defensively. Had I attempted to swap to offense to get him off me, had I done nearly anything but heal in that scenario I would have died nearly instantly. Because turning and becoming offensive or CC'ing a target still would have required being underneath his 8-9k per second ulti that was ticking on me.

I am of the opinion that magicka does indeed need a buff or stam needs a nerf in order to bring balance back between the two. However I have also, never, in two 1/2 years of playing this game seen any single thing on any death recap with a number this high, ever. Do some things on stam need to be toned down? Absolutely. Stam sustain vs magicka sustain is a joke, stam damage is still much higher, shuffle, black rose, dawnbreaker. The list is long and splinters off into many other separate comparisons and conversations.

But to those defending this ulti because magicka is lagging behind or because "we finally have something good"- ask yourself, is this really the course of action to best balance cyrodiil? Make every build incredibly OP and we can all be Demigods together?
