Bow Ability changes

ningauble_7b14_ESO · April 2017

The stam cost increase on volley seems kindof harsh considering the ability needs to be recast if enemies move out of the radius.

The LOS fix on Toxic Barrage makes sense, but despite this ability having massive tool-tip values, its burst dmg is at best mediocre, most opponents can either heal or shield through it even if it is undodged/blocked/interrupted, and the fact that it can be dodged/blocked/interrupted/caster cced/run out of range or los'ed, and the dot can be purged now makes it somewhat unique in the list of ults in that it can be countered by literally everything. I know most people prefer ballista for pvp, are there other ults where one morph just makes almost no sense to use in pvp though?

Yes, it's worse though.

Eclipse cannot be broken free from, so one templar can completely lock you out of your bow skills.

"This ability and its morphs now last for 3.5 seconds, down from 6 seconds, but can no longer be removed with Break Free. After the effect ends, enemies will gain CC-immunity"

Well its 3.5s in which projectiles are trouble instead of however long it takes for you to escape but you get cc immunity after which perhaps will apply to the next eclipse opening a window.

So you need to reslot to make sure you have some options that are not bow/projectile related for that period. How often are folks builds entirely depending on their weapon skills for offense?

Every DK build, DOT's are not effective in PVP. Provided they cannot use it again on you while "CC immune", then its certainly not that bad.

Lol. If you're stamina its ALWAYS.

And if you play ranged char projectiles are all your damage.

There aren't going to be any Templars around to worry about. If there are, they will be looking for a place to respawn during the 3.5 seconds that eclipse is on you.

lol, I highly doubt that.

More than likely the saving grace is the CC immunity, IF it keeps them from spamming eclipse on you then it just means Templars are going to be very strong versus ranged.
