✭✭Seriously i tried to focus on this skill and all i could kill were newbs. It's so easy to counter, block, heal. It's very weak
Imho, the trick is to put a least 2 dots before Sould strike

✭Soul assault on a medium armor build cost 17k+ Stam to block and almost 20k If you block and heal it. How is this not a issue how is this fine?If your a heavy armor build magdk Magplar your fine even stamdk not that bad,Magsorc easy it gives you back magica.Medium armor stambuild its the start of a death sentence. you lose more than half of your stambuild if there no LOS or can not cloak it.If this skill went through shields so many people would be crying everything should go through dodge roll because that's fair.0 -

If I as a mag sorc with 10k stamina in CP can block it with nothing but a shield in my hands and not run out of stamina, a stamina-dedicated character with 30-35k should have absolutely no problem. Place more points into block cost reduction, put on a shield, increase spell resistance, if you're a vampire slot elusive mist for utility during the channel, there's so many ways to facetank this skill if you know what you're doing.Dalek-Rok - Argonian Sorcerer || Dalek-Shād - Argonian Nightblade || Dalek-Shul - Argonian Templar || Dalek-Xal - Argonian Dragonknight || Mounts-the-Snout - Argonian Warden || Dalek-Xul - Argonian Necromancer || Two-Spires - Argonian Arcanist || Dalek-Nesh - Argonian Sorcerer || Dalek-Kör - Argonian DragonknightJudas Helviaryn wrote: »Don't incorporate bugs into your builds, and you won't have [an] issue.0 -

✭✭If you're a stamblade block for Vigor + Block for 2 seconds then just Cloak... I only die to this skill when I have a few people on me and taking pressure outside of Soul Assault. And for some reason a lot of people slot it now, I got a triple beam to my face the other day, was pretty funny, there's not much you can do if you weren't at full health at the time of the Soul Assault.@ Izaki #PCEU

Bashing interrupts Soul Assault as well as line of sight. Also force surge the destro spell that interrupts stops it. Also, you can block it, fear the person using it. There probably are other ways, but that's just a list off the top of my head.
Keep it as is. Disclosure: (I never have used Soul Assault on any character)
Also, the 99k Recap is not accurate.... some time ago we learned the recap incorporates damage done during healing... so the 99k tick means he healed/blocked/mitigated about 70k of damage and then got hit with about 25k damage as the final blow. Don't go by the recaps until zos addresses this in 2020.

On a medium build or stamina builds in general you have to actually block it. It eats your stamina.
To survive a Soul Assault, you only need ONE of the following:
1. Good block cost reduction (CP or 1H/shield or both)
2. Heavy armor
3. Good healing (not stacking proc sets)
4. Good shields
5. Line of sight
6. Cloak
7. More damage (high quality medium burst can actually outburst a soul assaulter and kill him first)
If you don't meet one of the above criteria, then you're in a squishy burst setup, or have no idea what you're doing, and yes, you're going to die to a SA. You're also going to die to a quality Destro Ultimate, and probably a lot of other stuff.0 -

It is very strong, mine is I think 65k tooltip, but thats over 3.5 seconds or so, and in that time frame you can heal, or los it. Also in pvp thats a 50% damage nerf, so 35k in 3.5seconds. For an ultimate not too bad, but it is widely overlooked!mmolegends44 wrote: »In my opinion you now see more people using soul assault alot more recently I even heard some people say their tooltip was 99k at least make it interruptable like raidiant destruction is and no you cannot block through a soul assault or break line of sight of it!Daggerfall Covenant:Casterial Stamplar || Casterial DK || Availed NB || Castyrial Sorc || Spooky Casterial Necro

1. Cp isn't enough you need a 1h&s. Just cp will still cost you like 20k stamina to block it.
2. Heavy, not everyone wheres it.
3. Again even without procs sets your forced to block on a medium build in order to survive it.
4. E.g. Magicka sorc/nb/warden
5. Hope your conviently next to some line of sight, as it 3m of it because your not going anywhere with a 70% snare and blocking.
6. Hope your a nb, still take 2s of it.
7. Out damage and don't get melted by the 80k tooltip SA, hope your next to them when they cast it, hope your don't immediately die when you let go of block.
So you've got to be magicka for properaly mitigate it.
If your stamina and not s&b you lose 20k~ stamina.
If your medium your gonna get melted
Your forced to stand still for 4s which usually means your gonna die.
If you do survive it your gonna be on very low resources.
Change the ticks from 8 to 4.

Remove the snare.
1. Wrong. Your numbers are way off.
2. You should if you keep dying to SA.
3. Wrong again. High weapon damage vigor ticks + Rally are insane. Why are you holding block against SA at full health?
4. Yep. Shield spam works, but drains the hell out of your magicka, just like your stamina. That's how the game works.
5. You shouldn't be relying on LoS as your only method of mitigating damage.
6. Good nightblades have no problem getting out of soul assault.
7. I've ran high damage and tanky SA builds and still been nearly outbursted by decent medium burst character. High quality players force me to cancel the SA.
It sounds like you've died a lot to this skill, but never actually used it.
My suggestion: go make an SA build, try it out.
