ZOS: Please Fix Bombard

Langeston · January 2020

Who in the world thought that it would be a good idea to allow Bombard to reapply an immobilization & snare once every GCD? I know you guys hate magblades, but does every skill in the game have to be a hard counter to them? It's bad enough that you've made it nearly impossible for us to burst our way out of a wet paper bag, but is it really necessary to make it as easy as spamming one button to kill us? Garbage gameplay like that should not be rewarded.

bow is very very weak in pvp.
bombard should also be weak as well?
not fair to us archers.
but from your words

your main anger is that bombard should not have snare and immobilization.

looks like your main anger is that bombard bow ultimate should not have snare and immobilization.
if it did not able to slow them and immobilize them the enemy would simply move a few feet and have zero damage from archer bow ultimate.

completely unfair.

Do you know anything about this game? Bombard is not an ultimate.

OP you can rejoice with this though:

Rapid Fire
Ballista (morph): Fixed an issue where this ability could continuously break the caster’s invisibility.

Glad they fixed it.

Huh? No, my "main anger" is that this broken skill re-applies an immobilization every second — there should be a cooldown like any other CC.

You shouldn't be able to just stand 20m away & spam an AOE perma-immobilization/snare like that. How would you feel if Flame Clench knocked you back every cast with no cooldown? Or if Mass Hysteria could fear you every cast with no cooldown? You'd freak out about it (just like everyone else would) because it's a dumb, broken mechanic.

i agree that it should have a cool down.
you are right about that part.

One part of the PTS notes most people missed is charges are supposed to break immobilizations now. You can also pot while stunned.

I haven’t dueled to test this out, but I believe lotus fan will break the bombard immobilization. It will also make tri-stat or immovable pots BiS. Basicly pot every time you’re stunned.

I think you misread that.... They made it so you can't use potions while stunned. Some of them could be used previously whole stunned.
