Dark Magic skill - Rune Prison

This is completely useless in pvp. Is something being done in 1.6 to remedy this?

I agree. Cast time needs to be reduced slightly, and it needs to be unblockable.

Same goes for NB Agony and DK Petrify. Hardly a Sorc-only problem.

Making such skills unblockable may be a good idea though, given their cast times; and the fact that long-duration CCs mean nothing in PvP.

Would give a proper use for a CC ability in PvP rather then making it a pure PvE one. Breaking out of CC and being immune to it has made this rather useless for PvP.

Minus the fact that IF they get hit they are knocked out of it? Yea remove the skill please it is literally useless UNLESS you use it to run away

What about these hard CC skills acting like a de-taunt in PvP? Similar to Warhammer online where you could cast it on a player, they deal less damage to you, but if you attack them the effect breaks...

For example: The Shaman skill "Look over there!"
You Detaunt your target, making them hate you less and causing them to deal 50% less damage to you for 15 seconds. If you attack anyone that you have Detaunted, the effect will immediately end.

50% would be way too strong on multiple targets (not an issue in Warhammer due to cooldowns) so make it only work on one target at a time and maybe lower the percentage a tad...
