Negate Magic and it's 2 flaws (mostly in PVP)

I think the discussion about AoE-caps will not bring us anywhere so i will just skip it even though would've liked to see this skill uncapped.

Negate Magic and it's morphs have 2 problems.

1. Every CC-immunity will make the affected target able to ignore it, so if you are negated you can just cc-break it and freely cast spells again. If you had Immovable up before you were hit with a negate, it won't even matter, it will have no effect on you whatsoever. (It's possible that the immovable is negated and you have to cast it again i'm not entirely sure, still doesnt make sense, if you're in the field you should'nt be able to cast anything)

2. The affected target can neither swap weapons nor drink any potions within the area of Negate Magic. These things are no spells so why can't anybody do that? It's not like it's magical in any way to sheathe your sword and pull out your bow.

    Never understood that mechanic. How does a silence prevent me from drinking a potion or swapping weapons? Maybe it's like an Anime or a Streetfighter game and our characters are yelling out "Weapon swap!" or "Potion of magkica!" before every action.

    IMO it should also cancel any spell projectiles entering the area, then atleast while youre standing in your own field, you cant be bombarded by spells from outside. This would make it a viable defencive ultimate much like veil of blades.

    Suppression Field morph would be defensive if they got spell resistance math correct.

    When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle
    Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter
    ... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws

    well imo suppressionfield is useless in pvp, at least absorptionfield restores your health and increases your chances to survive that way.
