Thanks ZOS for a [snip] stam sorc spammable that no one will use. At least give us a whole new animation. What a joke.

    Crystalized weapons has the same animation as elemental weapons, yet looks and sounds a lot cooler.

    By the way, you can stack crystalized weapons and crushing weapons together and have them hit together. :D Hello Stamsorc Overload Snipers and dizzying swing spammers. Perhaps it should be considered to only have crystalized weapons work with melee attacks.

    At least it looks pretty legit. But yes, if you're gonna rip off an ability, at least do it like you did with Bound Armaments ZOS...

    the only thing that is the same with bound armaments is the proc condition.

    I must have strange tastes, because that looks horrible to me.
    How do floaty shards translate into more damage with a weapon? I would have expected the weapon itself to become crystalline.

    Yes, as in it is at least largely "unique" despite still fundamentally operating in the same fashion. Light/heavy attack build up of stacks, release attack after reaching x stacks.

    i appreciate their trying ot give stamsorc unique class abilities but stealing from other skills aint it. bound armaments is even more annoying to use than grim focus. crystal blast is going to have to seriously outperform rapid srikes or wrecking blow to be used

    Wasn't Crystal Fragments changed to be a spammable in this very same PTS patch?

    Technically Crystal Shards, even at the base, is the magsorc spammable. Didn't say it was good but it is as much of a spammable as other cast time spammables. Now both specs have questionable spammables. Progress huh.

    how does cold wind heal you? how does doing a flip while whipping someone heal you?

    At this point, they can just streamline its damage and make it an instant cast with crystal fragments only providing more damage and cost reduction when it procs.

    I am really up for this.

    It's funny how in their attempts to make something original, ZOS end up copying other skills and it's never the skills players actually want.
    Almost nobody likes Elemental/Crushing Weapon, especially in PvP, they could have just copied a skill people actually like, like Surprise Attack and people would be satisfied. Make it materialize a crystal blade instead and add one of their little stack games ZOS like so much to differentiate it from SA (something like 3 consecutives hits triggers a crystal explosion that deals small bonus damage and removes X amounts of armor).

    I honestly wouldn't have minded that considering it does have the Armor reduction to it just like SA. And could actually be weaved fluidly.

    No one uses that skill for a reason. Its clunky. It doesnt weave properly.

    Hey devs can we get both Physical and Spell resistance debuff added to this so it can be a sorc psuedo version of Stone Giant for tanking.

    Animation flow wise it looks TERRIBLE. I am also a person who thinks ele weapons looks silly as well. The effects on the weapons are neat looking.
