About that new Valkyn Skoria telegraph

From what I have seen it looks exactly like the meteor ultimate? Can we get a different color at least? Or just the typical aoe circle effect?

The problem is: I NEED to know when a meteor ultimate is incoming to block the stun. Valkyn I don’t need to block necessarily and can choose to heal through instead. Valkyn often does very little damage, so I don’t want to just sit there with block up for nothing. It also looks very distracting visually to have this effect show up every 4 seconds.

Please? B)

    it is a different color. Meteor is blueish and Skoria is redish.
    Cleared Trials:
    - vAA HM - vHRC HM - vSO HM - vMoL HM - vHoF HM - vAS HM - vCR HM -

    I was watching some gameplay of both and honestly could not tell the difference. With multiple effects going off it looks the same. I guess I would prefer the AOE ground effect then.

    is it really bad to just block both anyway? how much stam costs is it just to block for 2 - 3 sec?

    honest question.

    You're in another thread going on and on about this and you don't know the answer to how much stamina it costs to block for 3 seconds? Stop talking.

    blocking depending on the cp and weapon can go from 1700's to as low as 400's every 0.5 seconds. So blocking for a whole second if you are trying to perfectly block just the scoria once for most players will cost about 3400 stam. Sword and board users without block cost cp will be about 2040 stam so on so forth. Moral of the story blocking costs a lot of stam so you really only want to block the things that are most important to block.

    Yes it is. If you are a magicka build and skoria proc every few seconds on you. Blocking everything that looks like Meteor would be way too costly and you would end up out of stamina by the time the Meteor hits and stuns you!
