[BUG] Eclipse + broken new CC system.

Baphomet

The game treats eclipse like a hard CC when it is obviously a debuff.

That means that you cannot target anything that has just broken free of a stun, knockdown, disorient or have immovable active.

Not holding my breath that this will be addressed anytime soon but I just want to let @Zenimax know that the ability is borked.

Can I ask, is this versus NPCs?

Baphomet

PCs, too.

I would like to add to this that the new CC system also affects other abilities which it should not. If a character has broken free of a stun, you can't use an ability like piercing javeling on him either because it has a CC component in its mechanics.

I don't think I have to argue how unacceptable this. We should be able to use abilities like javelin, destructive touch, stonefist etc. all the time for their damage component and not rendered completely unable to use them due to a poorly designed CC-immunity system.

I wish they would look at how other games have done CC immunity and get it right. Shadowbane is a great example and was very well balanced. In addition, the dev team published all the particulars for every single skill in the game making for a totally transparent system. This is how stun worked:
