Dragonknights Reflective Scales

OtarTheMad · February 2017

This can't be a serious thread? Wings has been absolutely nerfed to the ground. One of the ONLY reasons to slot wings now is for the morph that gives spell resist and even that isn't truly worth it since you can get that buff other places. Unless of course you want to slot Wings for the heck of it and/or RPing that it's useful again.

Maybe if they fixed how buggy it is then it'd be worth slotting but even then it's extremely easy to counter a reflecting DK. Even when they were OP "back in the day" reflect was fairly easy to counter if you were a good PvP'er.

These threads make me laugh. 3 years later people still looking for nerfs on scales. Is there even more nerfs you can do to it that hasn't been done already?

"Reflected projectiles will now heal the attacker for the amount of the reflected attack."

This is why I dislike PvP. People seem to call anything that kills them op. It had been nerfed do many times it's not worth it compared to other skills

Actually did a test with this the other night.

I was able to get maybe 2 or 3 skills to actually reflect.

It's pretty useless in its current form. My guess is that OP just got unlucky and/or tried to spam one of the very tiny amount of actually reflectable skills.

Does anyone know which skills exactly are still reflectable?

Lol you know why meteors were no longer reflect-able? I made a forum post and it received a lot of attention with a video clearly showing the meteor not reflect (Over 500+ views on the Xbox DvR). Let's say next patch meteors were no longer reflect-able because it's an ultimate..... So what about overload and the bow ultimate lmao?

My DK has been clipped and I kinda just resolved myself into it never getting what it really needs which is resource management in magicka reduction across all DK skills (like 300-600 in the heavy costing ones i.e. igneous shield and DB) and a new form of battle roar where if I use an ultimate I should gain like 20 ultimate or even 30 over x seconds that way it'll aid what our regeneration was suppose to be.

I've stopped playing PvP as it has gotten terribly out of hand with the lag being unbearable and my class simply having nothing 'fun' to use in PvP e.g. Flames of Oblivion AoE.

@MaxwellC
I'm more annoyed about the standard nerf that was my biggest tool against Templars.A cloak spell really does make since. reflecting metoer was my favorite about them. ive been playing a magdk since ic since I'm a ps4 player didn't player before console launch don't know how they where before.
I really wanted to a frost mage since launch. I'm hoping the warden doesn't become the magdk even though I'm sure it will be op for 3 months then become the magdk after nerfs after nerfs

Honestly reflect needs a buff with all of the counters they have made against it. By buff I mean increase the reflect time to the same duration as shields.. seeing as that's DKs indirect class shield.

My understanding is that you cannot repeatedly reflect the same skill over and over.

Combat & Gameplay

General

Adjusted the snare applied to the enemy target at the beginning of all charge/teleport abilities (such as Shield Charge, Critical Charge, or Teleport Strike) to be a 60% snare for 750 milliseconds from a 100% snare for 500 milliseconds.
Added the charge snare noted above to Dragon Leap and its morphs.
The snare remains unpurgable, and serves to help charge abilities hit moving targets more reliably without completing locking movement down.
Adjusted all abilities to only allow them to be reflected up to 1 time, previously up to 2 times.
The damage over time effects from abilities such as Searing Strike, Twin Slashes, or Destructive Touch can now be applied to targets that fully or partially absorb the damage from a damage shield, or targets that are blocking.
Abilities that heal based on their damage done (Strife, Puncturing Sweeps, Surge, etc.) will now properly calculate their heal values when the damage is fully or partially absorbed.

To repeatedly reflect the same skill I believe you need to recast wings. With this in mind I'm pretty sure wings is working as designed and needs no nerf.

Reflect can be a very powerful mechanic, if anything what wings needs is a boost to add some other benefit besides reflect. I think Major Expedition would fit perfectly within wings mechanic while adding some short mobility.

So, Many of you may be against this probably cause you main DK or whatever
or some may agree with this.

But Reflective Scales needs a nerf.

-Longer Duration
-Infinite Reflecting
-Chance to reflect. like 20%-40% ?

Reason for this though is cause it completely counters magicka nightblades, or magicka sorcerers
seeing how there is a ton of DKs in PVP lately or PVE. It just makes Ranged DPS hard to play when DKs could spam it every 4 seconds.
with my MagSorc I can only use Curse and Force Pulse or lightning heavy attack (staff)
but my magblade is fully range and I have to run away from a MagDK cause I stand no chance, only could do restoration staff heavy attack or meteor.

Can't tell if this is a troll,

But if you're sincere then by all means nerf it anyway you want its already useless.
