What's the most op skill in the game for you?

✭✭✭
As the title says, what's the best skill in the game for you? I know is hard to pick only one but the exercise perhaps is to make a balance in the game overall pve, pvp, in group or not... (although I'm quite sure that pvp will be the primary subject to comment)
This poll is not a call for any nerf to a skill or anything similar, is just to have a small opinion on the subject (and make some time while I get out of combat in Cyrodiil >.>)
I listed the ones that I think it will come to peoples minds more often than not and also keep in mind that I can only add 10 poll options, Feel free to make a suggestion or argument in the 'other/s' option. Cheers

    I'm going to go with cheats.

    As for skills, discounting the ones that are just broken and presumably planned to be fixed, I would say Dawnbreaker and forward momentum.

    Dawnbreakers damage amount, and it being a sticky rather than ground DOT already make it better than anything in the mag ultimate kit even before you consider the incredibly cheap cost. The fact that it is BIS for most stam toons in both PVP and PVE is sort of a clue that it is out of balance.

    As for forward momentum, it is not that it is great, it is just that it is the only way to both drop, and gain temporary immunity to CC's and still fight. Mag toons have no similar option. They can drop them and gain immunity with mistform but cannot fight. If they spend the big money to drop them with purge it is of little value despite the cost as there is no immunity and they are likely still standing in a CC. CC's are totally out of control in this game. Virtually all stam damage abilities (though relatively few mag ones) have a CC attached at what appears to be little or no cost and instead of having some sort of major / minor system they just tend to stack. Despite this ease of application, dropping CC's in a fight is something that you basically have to run a 2H and slot forward for. I might also add that CC slows do not actually work properly as rapids does not make you immune from many of them and the CC immunity timer can be prevented from working or fails to work pretty regularly.

    I am mostly pleased with the current state of ESO. Please do continue to ban cheaters though and you guys have to find out who is duping gold and how because the economy is currently non-functional.

    Yeah lol. Damn that melee range, dodgeable, blockable cone of damage that might CC you if you don’t block or dodge or use an imov pot and that has no other effects whatsoever.

    It’s fine to bring up specific pain points with a reasonable analysis of why, and they’ll either be agreed with or refuted and that’s ok. But to just make stupid polls like these that fuel the baseless nerf threads, yeah these are super counterproductive.

    Sad you see it as a stupid poll because of that reason, seems like you can't have an opened opinion on the subject or you would trigger someone, it wasn't by any means the objective of the poll in fact the OP says clearly entire game content, pvp, pve, rp, erp.. you name it. Some people just can't read :(

    Bleeds and snares. Don't know which is worse, probably bleeds.
    Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.
