• Master's Bow gives 301 Weapon Damage, not 750. 450 extra comes from Infused enchant. The 301 weapon damage is a debuff on the enemy, not a self buff and hence is not affected by any buffs like Major Brutality, medium armor passive and only affects one enemy. By using it, you are losing out on the 4pc and 5pc bonus of a set on the bar it is in. While as a backbar weapon, it is certainly strong, it is not really OP. 301 weapon damage is not going to turn you into godmode 1vXer beast.
• Ballista is strong, only in certain situations. While, it does the highest damage as an Ulti in the game, it is freaking dodgeable. I do use it to kill scrubs and I certainly cannot spam it. Against good opponents, it only serves to drain stamina real fast, if you pair it with a CC. I primarily use it in outnumbered combat to force someone out of offensive for 5 secs, so I can cloak out or if I see you spamming Snipe.

I never expected someone would call me out, much less for "spamming Ballista".

But as you did, lemme break apart your post.

Unbelievable, how you can defend your trashy playstyle while pretending to be innocent. you probably a broken build and defend it. It is ridiculous how it takes multiple people to hunt exploiters like you, while you can happily destroy someone in the middle of dozens of players and get out. I have been playing since beta so dont bother giving the L2P card. you know some thing is wrong when someone dodge 6+ in a row, spamming vigor and shuffle and not running out of stamina whatsever, while eating a 4k spell dmg, 48k magicka soul assault and still being able to drop Ballista and kill people with zero sustain issue what so ever. I got combat logs of your ballista killing me mid Soul Assault ticking over 28k HP, while I am stuck in Soul Assault animation. both are channels, why should one guy survive while the other dies.

Ironically I use Ballista+Fear pretty similarly as most MagDKs/Magblades/Magsorcs use Meteor+CC.

Also, calling me an exploiter because you think I spammed dodge, Vigor, Shuffle etc is kinda BS. None of those needs spamming and even I wanted to, I can easily do so, as I build for enough sustain for it. 4k Spell damage, 48k magicka will always die to something with lesser damage potential but with higher sustain in fights that last longer than 10 secs.

you dragged my group all the way from ash to nik, spamming said skills and I am pretty sure that requires 3k+ stam recovery with cost reduction setup. Given you use a khajit, not bosmer, redguard or argonian, i am willing to bet that it requires a zero damage sustain setup, which you obviously dont use given your damage potential. one of my groupies was a Nb tank, who had 45k Hp and you dropped him as well, which is ridiculous as i have seen him tank more than half a dozen player.

Master's Bow is the most OP single item in pvp in the game. it is way way more broken than Master's DW (which itself is broken af imo). after ZOS butchered my main magsorc from beta, i switched to stamblade and from what I have seen playing one for the last month, the base class in itself is quite balanced, but itemization and the bow skill line makes it possible to create ridiculous builds on stamblade.
And of all these items, Master's Bow is the most broken, giving 750 weapon damage from using the strong DoT in the game. why bother with bleeds that tick for 2k max every 2 secs when you can get 2k+ damage evry sec with an included execution capability. Adding 750 weapon damage to Poison injection from a single weapon is ridiculously broken. It is creating a toxic divide in the PvP, where this one item is separating the normal stamblades from the broken godmode stamblades. Why bother to invest in damage sets, when you can simply build for sustain and survivability while backbar Master's Bow gives you the power of more than 2xHunding's Rage. Almost every single good openworld/duel/BG stamblade I know is using it, while other PvPers cannot really match them as said Bow (inspite of being BiS PvP weapon) is locked behind one of the hardest PvE good content. This forced rarity is classic toxic dev mentality of catering to the elitist minority while abandoning the vast majority of players.

also, Ballista..... It is ridiculous how a 70K+ tooltip ultimate is allowed to stay in the game unnerfed. It can literally take someone from max HP to zero in matter of seconds. there is this AD stamblade shadow kiter in pc na vivec, who is spamming this ulti for 30K+ damage on 28k resist and 3k crit resist builds. It is so freaking *** how OP this ulti is, with no realistic means of defense. every time, i meet this dude, it goes the same way with him dodging and cloaking 90% of attacks, then fear to ballista with bow proc, then spamming the sap essense stam morph, till I die. it is the same result on my magsorc, bleedsorc, bleedblade, rollerblade. even if I survive, I will out of resources trying to shield, outheal, dodge, block it, making me a free kill at this point. Ballista needs to at least 250 ulti with lesser damage. Apart from wingsDK and magplar or nearby LOS, this ulti is pretty auto win.
