Fear has always been a touchy and borderline broken ability, but ffs what is up with the recent occurence of having to break free 2-3 times before you can move again? Been like that for a couple weeks now, and not a single word from ZOS on a fix.

    I remember when people thought getting double cced was impossible years ago, now it’s become a normal experience.

    It’s been like that for a long time. The Necro ground circles are the worst offender, with lag the second fear will sometimes go off before you can break free from the first fear.

    I made a thread about it like... 6 or 7 months ago? It’s likely worse now with increased lag.

    Yeah I know but on these same forums I said you could get double cced like in 2015-2016 and people said it was impossible because of xy&z lol now everyone can see it’s not.

    PS4 NA is completely unplayable in Cyrodiil all around, like underwater Windows 95 dial-up powerpoint slideshow unplayable, but yeah. Today during the slideshows where skills wouldn't go off after slamming the buttons 5x each, I discovered that now my character is CC breaking 4-5 times in a row, in place, taking stamina each time and never actually breaking free. So thats nice.

    If they have a priority system for server commands break free should be at the top of the list.

    Potatoes won’t like it though, a lot of people can’t kill anyone without a stun and haven’t learned to do a burst combo. It’d force people to L2P instead of spamming CC’s hoping for the game to break.

    Oh well um you see.... your APM (actions per minute) is way too high with all that CC breaking.

    Should only be able to CC break once per 7 seconds to close the skill gap :trollface:

    Uh — the only people getting killed without some sort of CC is an absolute potato. While the stuns right now are absolute garbage, with having to break free upwards to 4 times, how else do you line up your burst?

    What are you lining up? If you have a delayed damage portion to your class’s burst then yea a stun can work well. If you’re say a NB and - you press a stun, they break free - it’s a net even and while they’re stunned they have hots ticking.

    If you’re spending 1 second applying a CC and your opponent is spending 1 second removing it, unless you’re using delayed damage attack like dots or curse you aren’t coming out ahead. Especially like I said if they have hots rolling.

    The only thing fear is good for on a NB is escape and trading your mag for their stam.

    Agreed.
    Up until very recently I had been rolling without a proper cc on one of my chars.
    All I can say is vs any even semi skilled opponent eww never again

    Welcome to the frustration that is eso pvp 2020.

    I thought they're doing all sort of server improvements...? all I'm getting is 300+ ms when its crowded, compared to 130-150, and my skills take 2-5 sec to execute.

    nowadays I just go to Cyro to get that tier-3, then I run around Tamriel doing achievements........

    do you play CP Cyrodiil?

    even if they can get out of it, it's still a drain to their stamina, which most of the time means if either (a) if ur combo has another stun, they're screwed, or (b) they got less resource to do damage or pull funny tricks...

    stun works well in most situation.

    the only time it won't work well if the target JUST come out of stun and has stun immunity. then you're just wasting resource. which, arguably, to be fair, a very tricky thing to detect.

    If the game had good performance there’d be no reason to use a stun at all as a NB. You could build for 1300 stam regen as mag and be able to break free every time cc immunity was down.

    I agree it’s useful now, but that’s more because the game isn’t running well. That’s ESO pvp right now, spam stuns and count on lag and poor performance helping you to win.
