    Killing 10 v 1 in one second all because of one ability? (Obviously the "other things" don't matter cuz the only thing needing need is this uk to, right?)

    So that's like after battle spirit and mitigation shields etc about 20k health damage per tick?

    Man... Doesn't look like any tooltips I have seen.

    Please show screen cap of 1 killing 10 in 1s.

    Thanks.

    OP said "and other things" so he probably meant mag nb bomber wearing vd which can kill dozen people in around 1-2 sec.

    Anyway single destro ult is not a problem, the problem is many players can stack it and run happy destro trains decimating everything on their road.

    and if the poster was arguing that either VD or eye needs a nerf that would be a relevant point.

    the poster used the claims to jump to the need to nerf eye, not VD, not VD/eye combos, not pretzel-bun hotdogs - but eye.

    and the user mentions killing ten at once in a second, not doing that with fixve, six or two hundred eye bombers attacking the ten.

    I get that in numbers ANY decent combo can be used and deadly... that does not mean anything about the relative power of a thing or its nerfs needed necessity.

    you need more than a hyperbolic unsubstantiated claim to make a case.

    and if it need the VD boom-boom-boom chain and multiple bombers to get the kills in the timeframe, show how you then concluded that the only thing needing to be fixed to solve that problem is the eye?

    See, to me, the claim of how serious the instant kill potential is and then linking that to a DOT ultimate is the disconnect.

    This highlights what the actual problem is. So many have touched on it without calling it out. The issue isn't the ultimate, it's the zergs. Why are there no "Nerf Zergs" threads?
    ...

    There have been plenty,
    it is why we have things like Vicious Death and Proxy Det in the game

    The problem is the zergs are using these skills as well.

    I like the idea of giving smaller groups tools to take on larger ones, but in practice it's mostly the other way around.

    (Other than a suicide bomber that kills three opening a dolmen chest, and is immediately murdered.)

    My statement was simply that the large amount of 'Nerf Zerg' threads are what caused these attempts at zerg-busting to be added,
    whether or not the outcome of such nerf threads actually made the zergs more powerful is a different matter

    players complain about the zerg being too powerful; the zerg complains about individual players being too powerful

    The problem there though is that which was designed to bust zergs also empowers zergs. Plus, that gear and skill works even better in a zerg role than it does to bust em up. My point is an endless stream of nerf threads isn't going to get anyone what they want. Someone might call for a nerf and consider it a win if it happens, only to go back to Cyrodiil and get killed by those same zergs just using a different Ultimate. Then it's back to the forums for more nerf threads.

    I love how people defend this Ult. Eye of the storm mixed with immovable pots and a pocket healer with blur or rapid maneuver/lotus fan spam is untouchable unless you have a negate ready.

    Its not a L2P issue its an over performance issue. Its made alot of bad pvpers alot of AP.

    Agree.It's bad being caught by one, but i changed my mind about nerfing it.

    One of my death recap was 5 EotF used by 5 different players...That is serious, and some pvp guilds only accept you if you have destro ulti..

    Which other 5 ultimate from 5 players hitting at once deaths would you have seen as OK?

    if it was 5 ambush-incap at once from 5 players, that would be happy happy joy joy day for you?

    if five different people hitting you with their ult is not supposed to be deadly, how many ulti at once do you think is balanced to threaten you?

    should you be able to withstand ten ulti at once?
    twenty?
    fifty?
    if every other player in eso hit you with their ultis at once should you get killed?

    where is the break point where you say "yeah this many at once killing me is a sign of the numbers being too many, not a problem with their power being too big"??

    It's enough. A simple player using this skills and other things in PVP can kill like 10 players in a second. That's not what I call "balanced". In my opinion, this ultimate damage should be reduced by at least 1K damage to let the players the time to NOTICE that there's a bomber before getting killed -_-

    You would nerf one of the few answers people have to zergs....really?

    Obviously in conjuntion with proxy and such but still...

    Yeah zergs use it too but bombing zergs would be more painful without it especially considering if you're a magblade due to tether not being nearly as effective because of all the mitigation and CC immunities.

    For people saying they died from eye of the storm 30k + and so forth you do know that's 4-5 seconds in that destro ult right? Cuz when I'm bombing and I get rage telled about my destro ult hittung them for 35-40k I just reply was there a red circle around you, were you standing in it, did you try to get out, did you try to heal, if not well idk what to say besides thanks for the MILK!

    As joy and so many others have stated this is a pure L2P issue.

    Now if the new players would study these ults not just eye of the storm and figure out the mechanics or ask a vet player than just maybe just maybe we wouldn't have these forum posts about nerf this nerf that

    Sure I do. But, you have to learn from that kind of thing. Don't all stand right next to each other on the pin, looking at your maps. A few stand on the pin, hopefully at least one is a tank, and a few sneaky guys are in stealth, on guard for ulti-bombers. That is why people get aggravated when people say, "Nerf this or nerf that." We've played and died and adjusted our play style, our gear, and our skills, instead of whining about it.

    ^^This. I love getting the opportunity to help out new players or vet players with new questions. I'd happily welcome any thread with a question about how to get better at something or how to avoid/counter a specific attack or ultimate. Ask others what they do to prevent dying to eots. There's tons of vitriol in this thread but there's also a lot of good advice. If people get back to you with a ton of "There's just no way to counter/block/avoid that one" then by all means ask for the skill to be looked into. Provide situational data and maybe some suggestions. Maybe some people on here just don't realize this but, there's a lot of negative changes to this game that very likely came from nerf rage threads and what goes around comes around. One day you may find yourself reading patch notes and enraged because one of your favorite skills or class or race got nerfed unfairly.

    So tired of these nerf threads. If something is over performing and you aren't happy about it. Provide proof of the claim your making and reasoned suggestions on improvement, or even better provide instances where other skills could possibly be buffed or adjusted to make better counters. This "I know somebody who's whole group was wiped by one guy" or "I keep getting killed by this one skill" with no context is pointless. #NoMoreNerfs

    agree with this. Ive been killed countless times by this skill. Yet i dont go complaining that it needs to be nerfed. People bring these nerf threads without prove that they are over performing. They probably just dont dodge or move over and get their ass kicked by the skill.

    they stand in stupid and wonder what killed them.

    Wow, look at all the destro ulti users come to defend their OP ability! B)
    I'm just here to laugh at the NERF destro ult ***. Here is my Pov.

    1. Don't stand in it
    2. Don't ball up, cuz I enjoy when you ball up. Easy AP
    3. If a destro ult is incoming and you can't CC the destro user spread out or burn the destro user
    4. Pop immovable pot, shield, rally, vigor and roll dodge or what ever to get out of dodge!
    5. Repeat 1 - 4

    I mean come on guys it's not that hard to spot an incoming bomb or if you're dumb enough to stand in the destro ult that's your fault. Destro ult has been nerfed once, how many more nerfs until everyone is happy.

    I mean it's common sense, big red DoT, shall I stand in it, shall I kill that player, shall I roll dodge out, shall I shall I....... If your smart and know what to do you can out heal it or burst that player down or my favorite gone like the wind phrase

    But for God sakes stop asking for nerfs cuz you can't figure L2P issues!

    Let me explain how this works since you seem to be pretty ignorant.

    - Ulti user pops immovability potion and asks pocket healer if he's ready
    - Ulti user casts the ulti and gap closes into a group, covering most members with it's huge radius
    - Group members can either run in a single direction away from the user or run straight into the other enemy players
    - Group members sprint, dodge roll, or attempt to heal/block.
    - Ulti user sprints, dodge rolls, or gap closes to keep up
    - Multiple group members are either dead or almost dead because you can't cast abilities while sprinting, roll dodging, or blocking
    - Rest of the group is now disorganized since everybody had to run like chickens with their heads cut off just to avoid one ulti

    No other ulti is this powerful or requires so much counter play, not just from one player but an entire group. That is not balance.

    "But bruh, just don't stand in a group!" You do realize that this is Alliance vs Alliance, right? You know, taking castles and stuff? There's going to be many times where it is necessary to be close to your group members, whether that's in structures or tight passages, or while going up against other groups. You can't just have people stand 15m away from each other at all times. Do you even pvp?

    My favorite thing is killing destro bombers and there is nothing more satisfying than wiping an EP destro zerg in Vivec. Leave it. I need the AP. Block on the pins when they are flipping and keep your shields up. You won't die.

    - Multiple group members are either dead or almost dead because you can't cast abilities while sprinting, roll dodging, or blocking [this statement is totally false in many ways]

    As for your statement about destro bombing with a pocket healer or a group, well I can speak on experience on the group play but not the pocket healer < like I said before never needed one, bomblade >

    The cries of babies are poisonous to the ears. I'm so tired of seeing nerf threads. They are poisonous to the eyes. I feel nauseous when I see these threads.

    I have to ask, why is everything "OP" except for your build?

    I swear, they should make a pvp mode where everyone wears the same equipment and have the same abilities.They should remove ultimates and long range attacks. Better yet, combat should only consist of 1v1 fist fights to prevent zerging.

    Better yet, to compensate for lag, combat should be held through the whisper system. The one with the harshest message that makes your opponent cry, is the winner.
