    This post is funny, mainly as it's a dk saying he died so quickly. Sorry had to point out the obvious.

    I get the same thing from any class quite often in PVP lately (since Craglorn and now since Monday's patch). I have a little freeze then I'm, basically, instantly dead and death recap will show a string of attacks that must have taken 5 seconds (at the absolute least) to go off. Where that 5 seconds went I don't know but, whilst I'm free to move about and see other people moving still, the game simply doesn't allow me to see myself getting attacked and I certainly can't break any stuns when I'm not even aware I'm being attacked.

    Latency hasn't changed. FPS is fine. It's an odd thing. I generally get a bunch of "you can't do that when you're dead" messages afterwards also.

    I've noticed lately that knockdown + cc, in my case shield charge +talons, = cannot cc break, regardless how much stamina you have. Could be weird lag but it doesn't seem so

    This is unlikely 3 seconds. There are no oher damage spells on you and each shard is 1.5 seconds.

    incorrect:

    first shard was likely an instant cast, as such, I could see that fight ending in 3 seconds.
    How? heavy and light attack doesn't proc instant shard.

    This game is a sneak fest, sneakers win majority of the time, nothing to get hang up on.

    Bingo.

    * everyone can do sneak attacks = first one who starts the attack has the advantage.


    Too much sneaking in ESO and when you see pvp videos, most players attack from sneak other players who are riding a horse or whatever.

    There is a huge advantage if you can sneak.


    > sneak should be only effective when it would be also a certain disadvantage without it in the open field. But thats not the case, since everyone can sneak.

    = ESO pvp will be never balanced.

    About 2 of the seconds i was layying flat on the ground because he got me out of stealth, by the time I got up and was able to do anything I was dead.

    we're both v12, I have full purple gear, im a sword and board dk tank. How did I die so quickly?

    Can't be. NB's are underpowered. The devs said so. It's those Templars you need to worry about. They are deadly and well balanced.

    This is the best thread I have EVER read. I don't play sorc's and even I know that crystal shards (fragments, all of them) can't proc themselves.

    This is unlikely 3 seconds. There are no other damage spells on you and each shard is 1.5 seconds.

    You died fast, no doubt, just not in 3 seconds. But that goes for Anyone knocked off their house if they don:t heal fast.

    If you read the tooltip it says 35% chance to make next use instant cast and cost 50% less magicka

    Yes but where is the other damage spell that proc'ed the instacast, which was my point earlier.

    ...crystal fragments proc'ed the instacast...
    frag cannot proc itself

    Why don't all the NBs and Templars post how many times DKs stun them? You can also break a stun, you know that right? It sounds to me they either got the drop on you and you panicked not knowing what to do next, or don't have much experience with actually having to try. In every single fight as a NB, you have to try and you have to be tactical/smart about the fight. Welcome to a more balanced game.

    Hard to break stun when i've just been knocked off my horse. I was trying to break stun but nothing happened

    That explains it. Just for a moment I had hope :(

    Yep. Your horse killed you, not the nightblade.

    DK's are only "invulnerable" when they hold block 24/7 while using the well-timed reflective scales.

    When you're off your horse and climbing up, you are open to all his combos with only your armor stats and mitigation as protection, and that is very possible to unload 2.6k damage in 4 seconds
