Pummeling Goliath Bash when?

When this skill be fixed? This skill is ruining whole PvP, there was never a skill that could wipe whole groups just by smashing one button. It's skilless gameplay which brings a lot of frustration into PvP crowd. So here I am asking:
When ZOS decides to balance this broken skill? When you will fix this madness? You really need months to balance something that is beyond any reasonable boundaries? Somehow you could hotfix sieges when they were bugged, but now you don't even notice the issue? How convenient! If we won't acknowledge there is a problem we won't have to fix it!

Once again, simple question. When?
"We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available."
— They always claim they’re “investigating” the causes, but in reality they’re just waiting until the PC EU players go to bed. Once that happens, you can suddenly log in again and they happily mark the issue as Fixed.

      I was a bit surprised to die that fast. But it happened like once, and then again - because I think it was glitched (or because of lag), so I was killed even though the *** guy had his back turned on me. Now I just avoid them. It's really not that much of a problem. Needs to be balanced - yes - but if you die constantly to this, I really hope you don't have as much problem to learn what hurts in real life too. Stay clear of them. It's like ten seconds, wait and then go on.

      Why would they fix it? It's selling copies of Elsweyr left and right.

      The strength of the ultimate was well discussed on the PTS, if it wasn't working as intended, it would have been nerfed before being pushed to the live server.

      Just make the skill last for 10-12 seconds, like all other defensive ultis do.

      They need to remove the ultimate generation lock then. That’s why the skill lasts longer—you build no ultimate when it’s up.

      The only issue is the Goliath skill which just needs to be changed. The life-draining morph is fine (and I prefer for tanking and general utility anyway).

      The skill itself is only bad if you’re built like paper and not wearing impen/ decent resistances. Yes, even cloth wearers should be in something like Fortified Brass in this meta, or your shields are garbage anyway, since they inherit resistances. The biggest issue with PvP remains people not understanding mechanics or expecting to 1 V X in their leet PVE gear. You either build for PvP or you die. The end. The damage ceiling is too high to not factor defensive mitigation into your builds.

      Out in the open, mobile classes can avoid this very easily. The Zerg has to spread out, not bunch up. In close quarters it's pretty OP via the fast dps through bash mechanics.

      I wonder if making it single target bash instead of aoe would help this.

      I'm using ravenous in PvP and people scattered when I transformed, but then saw me scything not bashing and adjusted.

      The Bashing morph just looks and feels like abusing a mechanic, doesn't it?

        Makes me laugh when people would rather cry about something than learn how to counter it, but to each their own. I'm not defending it - I don't use it, what I'm doing is telling you to look at your own play first to see where the problem lies.

        I'd say that bow gank pissed me far more then goliath.

        I have played this build and its strong but only against players who dont know how to handle it. If you turtle up and Block or snare and run away you can drain that Necros Stamina Super fast. This goes back to counter play. I was doing like 6k bashes in BGS which i know some people have gotten alot hire, But really the build is easy counter able, Focus stamina draining And focus on CC and snares and it is simple to counter. Basically it dont take the bate to engage unless you know you can tank it

        I really want to try that with my ravenous, can I scythe and hot enough to cause a draw? It's like Devastator vs Superion while all the normal soldiers fight around you lol. If he's spending his time bashing me instead of my group...tactical win?

        I've been in a couple of those Goliath V. Goliath battles, as with most things the Goliath with better support comes out on top. What was kind of surprising is that I've also been in a Goliath V. Volundrung battle, and Goliath won.

        I could not believe how stupid this mechanic is until i used it. You can wipe the entire enemy team in couple of sec , just by spamming bash like a lobotomy patient.

        Is this their great vision for ESO.

        Two weeks ago i just realized i am not having fun anymore, started playing other games. PVP is a complete mess. Playing my stamplar is underwhelming and boring. Playing my stamnecro makes me feel like a walking cheese ball that tries to get ult so he can wipe out a couple of enemy players. There is no skill to it not anymore. Go in BGs there are nothing but ranged magika casters. Just no, i am done playing for now.
        What they can't fix one skill for a month now . It's out of hand.

        Yeah right, because I've met few golath abusers for now and know them by their names. I know how to avoid them, but just wait till more comes. You really want to wait till whole Cyrodiil will be flooded by this? Yeah sure because why not, let's see how it ends.

        To people who don't see issue with that.
        If you haven't met bashing Goliath you have no right to state your opinion. If you met them please show me other skill that can achieve same effect. Counters? What counters you expect me to use as a nonNB character when necro uses immovability potion and has a gapcloser (like all of them). I need to run faster than a gapcloser or roll through whole 20s behind him? Maybe melt his 60k hp pool faster than he kills me? Why I haven't think of that O_o

        Just make the skill last for 10-12 seconds, like all other defensive ultis do.

        Yeah, is the bash supposed to be enabled to be so fast? Initially, I experienced normal bashing...but lately, it's been around 7-10K dmg every 1/3 of a second, times that by three, so in a second, I'm gone. Prob less than that as I had someone just walk up to me and BAM!, dead.

        Is the bash typical for 3x with one button push or is it something else, because it seems like It's morphed a little since launch.

        Also, thanks to advertising media streams, we now have everyone building this thing.
