How long do you think we have to enjoy the pvp talent lightning lasso before it gets nerfed to the ground?
Chunking 48% of someone’s health in an undispellable stun is even more satisfying then getting greater pyros off… sheesh…
I haven’t even tried arena yet but firemage+elemental are going to be deleting people if this stays the way it is.
[update] confirmed multiple times across toons, yes its 48%… so it does even crazier damage the more health enemy has (tanks)
won’t last 3 days.
I heard that it’s just a tool tip error and that’s not the actual damage, but could be wrong
It’s not doing 48 percent damage as written right now …it’s either bugged or something . It’s nire like 8 percent
Mine is ticking for 11k per second. Tried it in a duel. Did 66k over 6 seconds. Sounds like 48% to me…
dont act like lasso is op.
cutting someones health in half is blizzards way of making ele have some chance at fighting in pvp. this is just flat out fair to compensate for lack of ability to fight
lightning bolts hitting harder than mortal strikes now as well.
Its likely going to be a nerf but still do decent damage. Mainly because it can be stopped and DR makes it do less.
Not for me … it’s 8 percent .
I have also heard that others are having similar nos. It must be bugged .
8% per tick? Or 8% total. 8% per tick every 6 seconds is 48% lol…
8 percent total . My game has crashed now , doing scan and repair . Will check later if that’s still the case
i just used it on a monk.
the first tick did nothing, then it did damage to them to 60% of their health.
so im assuming they had a shield enough to block the first tick, but can confirm its working.
actually just checked. i hit them for 11,079 per tick, 5 times. the 6th tick (the first) did 632, with 10,446 being absorbed
It working but it’s not spamable and it’s not OP by any measure .
Hope no nerf … we can finally win 1-1 fights
Dude I’m all about shamans being great again, but this move is ridiculous. 66k over 6 seconds with it being non dispellable is crazy. In 3s with the right cc chains, you can knock out a teammate within the first 30 seconds.
It’s fine. It’s interruptable and prevents the shaman from doing anything as well.
what? the shaman can move and do damage at the same time.
you’re saying it’s only op if it were a 50% dot/stun while the ele could cast other abilities as well?
Completely wrong, it’s a channeled spell so the shaman can’t use other abilities. It can move tho.
Well bois tbh, this talen is busted. Gonna get nerf so better abuse it while we can.
Busted no … will be nerfed, probably . Anyway I am gonna use it to melt some DH while I can .
If they nerf it hopefully they make it dispellable and not reduce the damage . We have so few things to land a big shot, as a caster before we get any shots off, we get pulmelled .
Really comes down to what mode Blizzard are going to balence it around. In 3v3… it really isn’t super strong, which I suspect is the balence point for pvp… because esportz.
It might get a small nerf, but it might not.
