Sounds like a really fun ability

✭✭✭✭"Working as intended, we inspected the honor guards on the resources and found that they are acting as intended to.
Remember that these are challenging enemies, and it would defeat the purpose of having guards if everyone could defeat them."
I got you, ZOS. Now you don't have to even respond to the thread!

✭✭✭✭✭Guards have been, and probably always will be, broken. I've randomly been hit by dawnbreaker from guards or some skills that's showing up as dawnbreaker and also fire salvo or whatever it's called that hits for 104k. They said they fixed it, they didn't. Still getting CC'd to hell by them too.2 -

EP Guards again, the plot thickens ...
It's already thick as pea soup. The pot thickens and the soup is done. Pull it out and dish it out and taste it. Then add some milk to tone down the heat those guards are dropping.

Druid40✭✭✭✭There is a current current bug/feature involving guards' Unstable Core. All dot attacks are reflected back to you, regardless of whether or not they are magicka based projectiles. Soul Tether will get reflected (and probably kill you), Dawnbreaker, Twin Slashes will get reflected, and I guess rapid strikes from the looks of the image.3 -

I would not be surprised if this is the invincible guard instakill mechanic to prevent somebody from being able to just tank guards forever in cities and allow people to steal everything during that time. That mechanic could also be in place if somebody were crazy enough and able to eventually bring a guard's health down, likely as a result of another bug. Need to have backups for your backups.
@Mystrius_Archaion, I'm going to put this gently, but I think @SirAndy is vaguely familiar with the game's history.
Still, Sparks takes me back. I remember cheesing my way through on a low level vampire with that, back when lowbie vamps took some work.0 -

Yes, it does look like my dots were reflected back on me. I wonder if that has something to do with it?
I had several active dots on the guy, Caltrops, Endless Hail, Bloodthirst, Blood Craze,
Come to think of it, i may have fired off the Thrive in Chaos ultimate right before this ...

This has been proposed several times since beta, i think it makes perfect sense to scale the guards according to the number of players attacking.
In this case, however, it was just me, myself and i ...

You know, that would actually be a really interesting statistic.
I wonder if there are some guards who rake in large amounts of kills and AP (Would that be GP?).
